We had a blast again this year at The Yoga Conference & Show: Toronto closing out the end of March 2012. Jason taught an awesome Egg demonstrative workshop in The Yoga Garden, our booth neighbored our good friends at JadeYoga, and we met many new teachers and students.
This time around, 3ME Canada was in full force with Trillium Connection now exclusively running our Canadian distribution and imports. We were able to catch up with Trillium owner Samara Zoetmulder following the conference to (more…)

Three Minute Egg® will be exhibiting in Santa Monica, CA, at the Tadasana Festival of Yoga & Music over Earth Day weekend April 20-22. Jason is excited to return home to Santa Monica (he lived in LA for 16 years prior to moving to Asheville) and 3ME is excited to be amongst an active and transformative yoga community where over 60 master teachers are offering over 75 classes and workshops, many with live music from musicians traveling across the globe to attend. You can find us alongside other exhibitors in the yoga-village shopping market, only a five-minute walk from the famous Santa Monica pier.
Stop by our booth to take advantage of a private yoga lesson with the Eggs. Making an Egg purchase at conferences allows you to avoid paying shipping costs and get a Free DVD! Several teachers will most likely be using the Eggs in classes.
This will be the second conference of the 2012 Three Minute Egg® tour, following our attendance at The Yoga Conference & Show: Toronto just a few weeks ago. Following Tadasana Festival we will be headed to the Southeast Regional Iyengar Conference in Washington, DC, followed by the Midwest Yoga Conference in Chicago in mid-May.
Stay tuned for more announcements about 3ME On the Road!

The Eggs were a success with the very talented Joan White by their side at her most recent weekend of general and continuing education classes at Postures Yoga in Naples, Florida. Students and teachers that attended the workshop reveled in the expertise that Joan offered in the Iyengar yoga studio, having returned by special request.
Those that attended adapted the Eggs in several different applications. For Supta Sukhasana and Supta Baddha Konasana Joan demonstrated how using two Eggs on their side adjacent to each other as well as under the dorsal and thoracic spine provided immense support, along with additional Eggs and blankets to raise the head.
Studio owner Suzie Muchnick participated in the powerhouse Iyengar yoga weekend as well, teaching a variety of classes alongside Joan. Suzie said that she enjoys “using them under the lower sacrum to the bottom of the shoulder blades for Setu Banha Sarvangasana.” She used additional Eggs laid flat to change the geometry for individual bodies with taller or more open students.
Following Joan’s workshop weekend we took a minute to follow up with Suzie. She told us that “my students and I find working with the Eggs a lot of fun and in some ways, for some asanas, more efficient then blankets or blocks. Another tool in our tool chest! or is it another toy in our toy chest?”
We appreciate the continued support from Suzie and Postures Yoga Studio. This was just the first of Joan’s 2012 workshop tour; stay tuned to the 3ME Blog for continued updates!
Below are just a few moments captured from this amazing weekend.

Emma Blue's own private "Kathryn Budig moment" with the Eggs
Yoga teacher and writer Emma Blue has decided that indeed the Eggs are not the Tchotchkes of yoga props she once feared. Instead, she has found that they “seem to roll out as an extension of the body.” We are thrilled that she has translated this excitement into a review that was published earlier today on the holistic wellness blog, ElephantJournal.
Emma tell us that she worked her way through the Special Edition Alignment & Flow DVD; she also points to the encyclopedia list of asanas found in the 3ME blog section Andasanas as well as the plethora of free video tutorials, which are shorter in length.
Unlike many teachers trained in the school of Ashtanga Yoga, Emma favors the use of props, so she rolled out her mat and tested out the Eggs with her students. They found (more…)

World renowned yoga teacher and father of Purna Yoga, Aadil Palkhivala, returns to Ventura Yoga Studio in Ventura, CA, from Friday 2/10 through Sunday 2/12 for a series of Egg-friendly workshops in a weekend intensive.
The weekend kicks off on Friday as Aadil guides students through asana in a preparation for pranayama in Pranayama: Preperation & Practice from 5:30-8:30PM. Students learn the balance of control between pranayama in the mind and nervous system, and asana in keeping the body still.
The five winds of the body that govern movement and progress are the focus of The Five Vayus in Twists and Backbends on Saturday, starting the day off from 11:30-2:30PM. Aadil closes the day with Healing the Pelvis and Sacrum, focusing on the anatomy of the sacroiliac joint that holds the weight of the entire spine and upper body.
Aadil wraps up the weekend on Sunday with Finding our Foundation, focusing on poses that strengthen the feet and knees. From the ground up Aadil moves into Healing the Neck, Shoulders and Upper Back, guiding students through asanas that help to relieve tension that we often hold in these areas. (more…)

Mia Park featured on the cover of the Jan/Feb 2012 issue of YogaChicago
As an avid athelete, dancer, actress, and community organizer, Mia Park has found that “yoga [has] provided both the physical well-being and inner peace that she needed to balance her busy lifestyle,” telling YogaChicago in their Jan/Feb 2012 article that features her as teacher of the month. Her background in martial arts and gymnastics led her to yoga in 2002. She has since taken her yoga practice and made it central to her life. She turned to Moksha Yoga for classes, becoming certified as a ParaYoga® Level 1 teacher (the only one in Chicago) after completing a 200-hour teacher training with Rod Stryker. Beyond just asanas, Mia employs chanting, pranayama (breathing), and kriya (energy techniques) favoring the Tantric principles of ParaYoga® to help quiet the mind.
Mia’s dynamic presence has led her down many different creative paths throughout her life, including her role as a co-host of a public access television cable show, Chic-A-Go-Go, for over 14 years. Jake, a colleague on the show and also Jason Scholder’s cousin, introduced Mia to Jason and the (then) new egg-shaped block. They were quickly acquainted, (more…)
