Yoga: What's With the Om?
I've been to many different yoga classes, from Kripalu to Ashtanga to Jivamukti, and they all have something in common. At the end the teacher always leads the class in chanting "Ommmm."

Ommmm my back hurts...

Fusing the chemical symbol for water, H2O, with the sound of the universe, "om," makes for a pretty catchy product name. And this is water with intention — not water infused with fruit juice, vitamins, electrolytes, or anything else you'd expect to pay extra for.
Om Nom Nom Nom!
Chews us up and spits us out — that's all the Internet does these days. While sites such as ManBabies and Cat Ladies make a big show of decapitating and switching people's heads for fun, Om Nom Nom Nom hunts down and shows the hungry, abstract monster in every photo.

Relax Already: For Just One Hour

Should Yoga Be an Olympic Sport?
When I first started practicing yoga, my teachers made it clear that it wasn't a competition. So what if Peggy Pretzel over there could do Handstand Scorpion in her very first class? It's not your ability to do the poses that's important, but rather your intentions and emotions while on the mat.
