It&#039;s an invaluable comfort to share with other pregnant yogis, in person and online. Thank you!

Thanks, Bob.

It&#039;s not only part of the transformation but is also part of the &quot;role&quot; of a yoga teacher. Check out my reflection on my first week of teaching: <a href="http://vogueyogini.com/2011/04/26/plight-of-the-ryt-rookie-yoga-teacher-part-i/" target="_blank">http://vogueyogini.com/2011/04/26/plight-of-the-r...</a>. It might make you feel better... And just keep going - keep practicing and keep teaching your yoga with your voice. You can&#039;t lose!

For some reason practice can be painful but it sure does pay off. Thanks for recognizing that and thanks for reading. :) Wed, 15 Jun 2011 20:34:45 +0000 http://www.elephantjournal.com/2011/06/the-yoga-of-writing-and-the-writing-of-yoga--amanda-niznik/#IDComment162965000 http://www.elephantjournal.com/2011/06/the-yoga-of-writing-and-the-writing-of-yoga--amanda-niznik/#IDComment162280158 I promise you, Redge, yoga and writing are very similar - as are yoga and other art forms. That is, equally as fulfilling and frustrating! And that is why we practice. :) Thanks for reading.

P.S. You are, thus, a writer! Keep it up. :) Mon, 13 Jun 2011 15:07:18 +0000 http://www.elephantjournal.com/2011/06/the-yoga-of-writing-and-the-writing-of-yoga--amanda-niznik/#IDComment162279865 http://www.elephantjournal.com/2011/06/the-yoga-of-writing-and-the-writing-of-yoga--amanda-niznik/#IDComment162279682 Thanks, Kelli. It&#039;s a fantastic book and was just what I needed at the time, too. Enjoy!

I&#039;m a huge fan of multi-tasking, especially when it involves yoga. Pranayama while stuck in traffic, anyone? :-) Fri, 13 May 2011 12:29:26 +0000 http://imagine-balance.net/2011/05/multi-tasking1/#IDComment151711985 http://www.elephantjournal.com/2011/03/ten-tips-amp-tricks-to-fit-yoga-into-your-super-busy-cram-packed-day-kara-leah-grant/#IDComment134913175 Fantastic! We really can incorporate our practice in our daily grind, no matter how grind-y. Thanks for some great ideas!

Lovely series. Mon, 14 Feb 2011 21:29:08 +0000 http://www.elephantjournal.com/2011/02/how-yoga-makes-you-pretty-part-deux/#IDComment127972249 http://www.the-new-healthy.com/2011/02/reflecting-on-vegan-challenge.html#IDComment127916906 Yay! Congrats. It was neat to follow your eats for the week - especially the pizza, yum! I&#039;d like to try it for 3 months - I&#039;m &quot;borderline&quot; vegan right now (vegetarian with no cow&#039;s milk or eggs - just cheeeeeeese!) and feel pretty amazing but would love to see how a vegan diet would change things over some time. That said, a week can be pretty powerful, too, especially depending on one&#039;s beginning diet - like most of the folks who probably took Oprah&#039;s challenge...congrats again :) Mon, 14 Feb 2011 16:33:06 +0000 http://www.the-new-healthy.com/2011/02/reflecting-on-vegan-challenge.html#IDComment127916906 http://www.elephantjournal.com/2011/02/fight-the-power-a-plea-to-yoga-journal/#IDComment127625641 Thanks, Waylon. Agreed! Such a powerful piece.

Of course, their practices are deplorable. Despite horrific &quot;business&quot; practices (and there are so many cos. out there doing the same things), I appreciate any marketing endeavor to include &quot;normal&quot; (ha-ha) women in their advertising. Fueled by profit margins or not, it&#039;s at the least nice to see promos with &quot;healthful&quot;-appearing bodies [All quotations emphasized!] :) That said, I&#039;m not a supporter of Dove. Go Pangea!

Maybe model it after Amy&#039;s?: <a href="http://bit.ly/2M6GfG" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/2M6GfG</a> Mushrooms, onions, peppers, artichokes - maybe a pesto sauce, too (?). Can&#039;t wait to see how it turns out! Wed, 9 Feb 2011 20:28:00 +0000 http://www.the-new-healthy.com/2011/02/vegan-week-peanut-flour-crusted.html#IDComment126976507 http://www.the-new-healthy.com/2011/02/vegan-for-week-challenge.html#IDComment125734905 Rock on! Ironically, I discovered Skinny Bitch long before I even considered vegetarianism, never mind veganism. It&#039;s a great read and offers really practical recipes, etc. (aside from providing tons of valuable detailed info). Being a glutton for convenience at times, I love it for the convenience reason alone! Looking forward to reading about your experience this week. And ditto on the coconut milk creamer - french vanilla is the best! If you have access to the So Delicious brand, you can even get a coupon here: <a href="http://www.purelydecadent.com/products/coupon.html" target="_blank">http://www.purelydecadent.com/products/coupon.htm...</a> Vegan and discounted? Who could refuse?!

Thu, 3 Feb 2011 18:28:07 +0000 http://www.elephantjournal.com/2011/02/myth-yoga-is-a-religion/#IDComment125733837 http://www.elephantjournal.com/2011/01/quotable-insights-perfectly-imperfect/#IDComment122136807 Great quote and surely insightful! I love any reminder that being happy is just that - BEING happy. Just do it! Sometimes we (and by &quot;we&quot; I definitely mean &quot;me&quot;!) get so caught up in fulfilling self-imposed roles, reaching goals, and &quot;doing it all&quot; that attaining some definition of perfection is not only futile but also silly since it does not equal happy. Strive for perfection but be willing to accept good enough in the face of doing your best. And, enjoy the moment. That&#039;s it, right? Thanks for this, Victoria - always enjoy your contributions.
