I just played a really cool online game. It's sort of like "memory" but instead of matching one picture to another you are matching the name of a yoga pose with a picture of that yoga pose. It really is a great way to learn all your pose names because it goes beyond just memorizing them. Each time you play there are different poses to match up. Some of them even stumped me a few times after years

Rodney and Colleen are members of the Urban Zen Foundation, which "creates, connects and collaborates to raise awareness and inspire change in the areas of well-being, preserving cultures and empowering children".As part of this initiative, Donna Karan, Rodney Yee and Colleen Saidman Yee are launching the Urban Zen Teacher Training Program in 2009. This yoga teacher training class can be taken as

Looks like some great classes Rodney's teaching at the Yoga Journal conference this week. Friday: Forward Bends Without Stretching; The Pillars of Backbends. Saturday: Understanding the Sacrum; Balancing the Hip Joints with Arm Balances. Also on Saturday he'll be at the Gaiam booth with Colleen from 1 to 2 p.m. Wish I could be there.

So I'm one of Rodney Yee's "friends" on Twitter (you can be too - just click here) so I get the privy on events sometimes that I wouldn't have otherwise known about. This morning he "Tweeted" about an upcoming appearance on public television in the San Francisco Bay area:"To our friends in San Fran - You can catch the Practical Power of Yoga with me and Colleen on KQED September 4th at 8pm and 9:

Rap music mogul turned philanthropist Russell Simons got schooled - yoga schooled, that is - by Colleen Saidman recently after saying her classes had become too easy and that the yoga routines being taught were "for pussies". Excuse my language - I'm just quoting!According to an article in the New York Post, Colleen ramped up the following week's yoga lesson at Yoga Shanti to "torture level"

If Rodney Yee is the Brad Pitt of yoga (check out the comments on this YouTube video) that would make Colleen Saidman yoga's equivalant to Angelina Jolie. She's beautiful, talented, famous and highly respected in her own right, having taught yoga for many years and been featured in publications like The New York Times, New York Magazine and the Yoga Journal. Colleen even runs her own yoga studio

I'm going to try and paste the email into this blog entry so everyone can read it. Here goes...Dear Yogis,Colleen and I have always been shy about promoting ourselves. I know it may be hard to believe, but it's true. At yoga retreats we never put out flyers, DVDs, audio programs or books. But for the first time we are compelled to announce, loud and clear, the launch of the Gaiam Yoga Club. This

The yoga giant Gaiam has teamed up with Rodney Yee and Coleen Saidman to create an online yoga club / community for teachers and students. Check it out at www.gaiamyogaclub.com!According to the site, the purpose is designed to teach you how to create your own "home yoga practice". Many of us enjoy doing yoga from home for various reasons - mine is just a lack of time to go to the yoga studio.

If you have a yoga site with Rodney Yee products, a blog dedicated to yoga with a Rodney Yee page or - like me - an entire blog/site dedicated to the man himself, leave a comment and let's see how many we can come up with!

A friend asked me today where she could buy Rodney Yee videos online. A simple Google Search for Rodney Yee Video should show plenty of results, but I've always found the best prices and selection at the following websites:- Yee Yoga- Rodney Yee Yoga Store- Gaiam Yoga Instructors- Gaiam Yoga DVDsBut why buy before you try? Check our Rodney Yee on Netflix and YouTube first! Here is one Rodney Yee

I just got an email telling me there was still space left in Rodney Yee's upcoming five-day yoga intensive for advanced students. It is on March 24th - 28th at Karuna Center for Yoga in Northampton, MA.The five-day, 34-hour teacher training session with Rodney Yee will include pranayama, asana, meditation, teaching practice, teaching skills and open discussion.For more information check out

Apparently some people have been posing (no pun intended) as Rodney Yee on MySpace, presumably for some sort of financial gain. If you look at The REAL Rodney Yee Profile you will see this message:This is not the real Rodney Yee: http://www.myspace.com/yee_yoga.The real MySpace profile is: http://www.myspace.com/rodney_yee . The other profile is an imposter.If you look at the imposter's profile

Gaiam just posted an article called "10 Essential Yoga Poses: How-To Video with Rodney Yee" and it's a great resource. These yoga poses should be in everyone's arsenal. In fact, a yoga minimalist could probably get away with only these ten poses if they wanted to.Rodney Yee and Mariel Hemingway walk you through step-by-step for each pose. I wish I could embed the videos for you but the Gaiam

This blog is dedicated to Rodney Yee, a man who I consider my first yoga teacher. I first discovered Rodney when a friend gave me the Yoga for Back Care video. My back had really been bothering me, and I was going crazy having to cut back on my running because of the pain. I made a commitment to doing the video regularly, and I got better.I started going to a weekly yoga class and treated myself
