The Top Twenty Best Yoga Articles of 2014

Tom Sutherland, an unknown yoga teacher with some interesting reflections on the evolution of the Bikram teaching method

by Kara-Leah Grant

Another year, another few hundred articles. And what a year in yoga!

We had discussion on the ethic of yoga teachers and students having sex, the myth of the yoga body, the essentials of restorative yoga, the debate over yoga teacher training regulation and the best questions to ask yourself before starting teacher training.

Skype video interviews remained popular with Cameron Shayne, Tom Sutherland, Lucas Miles, Amy Ippoliti, Mark Drost & Zefea Samson, Vincent Bolletta and Duncan Peak all making it into the Top Twenty.

It’s interesting to note that some of the most popular Skype video interviews weren’t with big name teachers, but with yoga teachers with interesting stories. Next year, when I’m lining up Skype interviews, I’ll bear that in mind.

Informative articles also did well, taking out the top two places. People want to know about their heart chakra, they want to know about the koshas, and they want to know how to get their first teaching job.

I hope you had a wonderful 2014, and that your yoga practice supported you through your year. See you in 2015!

Many blessings,
