I have a 50 degree lumbar scoliosis and 20 degree thoracic. Yoga has kept me pain free while I do it. A free membership will help me stick with it. So much better than 800 mg ibuprofen! Your newsletters are awesome, too.

Sometimes life gets in the way and finding the time to learn Yoga properly can be difficult. Everytime I tried to dabble I just ended up hurting myself and pulling something. Your site has helped me to slowly learn the proper way to practice Yoga without injury. Thank you.

I just made a list of resolutions...and I avoided being too specific, but increasing health and happiness was certainly on the list. Thanks for reminding me that there are many more reasons to keep a yoga/meditation routine throughout the year. It also helps me to keep the resolutions!

I have been visiting Yoga Basics website for a long time. I think the articles are very informative and help me in my practice. I would very much appreciate a subscription to this website. I did have a subscription before but I currently have extremely limited funds. Winning a subscription would be great.

I know this will be randomly selected, so my note won't influence the selection process, but following along with the trend, I'll give my story. I study yoga. I teach yoga. I love yoga and I am always looking for solid ways to deepen my understanding of the practice. I'd love a free subscription to the site.

I have been practicing yoga daily for the past 37 years - I will be 57 on Valentine's Day! Yoga is the basis of my life, and it has shaped my life and body. People think I am 35 years old, and it is because of the benefits of the incredible power of yoga. P.S. My boyfriend of two years is 15 years younger than I am - thanks to yoga!!! :)

2010 will be quite a year for me: I'm opening a yoga studio & wellness center, and I'm having a baby! So, a free membership will ease the financial burden and give me access to practical info during a crazy, busy, beautiful year ahead. Thanks!

Would love a premium membership as much as I love this site! I must admit that I am saddened to read of the "yoga competition" Yoga is the antithesis of competition. It is a personal, sacred journey. Ah, the western ideals.

Happy New Year!! Thank you for the free newsletters. I have been visiting Yoga Basics website for a long time. I found the articles are very informative, useful and helpful for me in my practice and it let me a pursue my interest in taking up a certificate in teaching of yoga.

I would very much appreciate a subscription to this website as I have just received a certificate to teach yoga and hope that winning a subscription can help me to enhance and pass the knowledge of yoga and proper and correct way of yoga practices to my students in my teaching.

I did have a subscription before but I currently have extremely limited funds. Winning a subscription would be great.

Yoga is eternal and priceless... please keep it that way... the only requirement needed for a learner is to seek with sufficient interest to learn...

the ancient indian gurukulas were free and open .. anyone could join and learn and leave...

if the yoga teacher has made the yogic teaching a business - its like asking a price for the Almighty Teaching...

the person who takes and the person who pays such a fee remain ignorant of the true yogic path...

Yogic Wisdom
I have found that the greatest degree of inner tranquility comes from the development of love and compassion. The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It is the ultimate source of success in life.
