Mia Park: Chic(k)-on-the-Go-Go
Thursday, February 2nd, 2012
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…)

Cora Wen and Three Minute Egg® Debuts Yoga Bloom THANK PINK Pink Eggs

Yoga Bloom Pink Egg - Supporting the Search for the Cure to Breast Cancer
Three Minute Egg has partnered with Cora Wen to create the Yoga Bloom THANK PINK Egg. The Yoga Bloom Egg, now available in the Good Karma Eggs section of our Products page, is a Hot Pink Namastegg in honor of its devotion to breast cancer awareness. One side features the Three Minute Egg logo as found on all of our Eggs, and the other side is adorned with the Yoga Bloom logo, which is beautifully crafted. In accord with our commitment to Cora, 10% of the sales from these Eggs will be donated directly toward breast cancer awareness and education.
Many recent studies have pointed to yoga as a holistic supplement to breast cancer treatment, revealing many significant health benefits and an overall improved quality of life. Complications such as fatigue and pain have been shown to be significantly lowered as a result of certain types of gentle yoga, including restorative and therapeutic practices.
Breast cancer awareness is an issue that is close to Cora’s heart, as everyone in her maternal lineage has had a battle with it, thus making her a very high risk candidate. Having this in mind she embraces each day with full awareness of her body and active self-care. Her work with yoga and women living with or recovering from breast cancer is extensive, by aiming to transform into “a positive experience for ourselves to live life fully, and live every moment fully and completely.”

Home of Yoga (India, Day 2)
Sunday, January 8th, 2012
I couldn’t believe it was already 9:22 when I woke up this morning, only minutes before my loyal Rickshaw driver, Nana, would arrive to fetch me and my suitcases in order to deliver me to my new apartment — just about 20 minutes walking from “The Institute” [i.e. the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute, or RIMYI.] That doesn’t include crossing six lanes of the most terrifying traffic I’ve ever seen. There is only one way across. (Think Eddie Murphy’s special needs brother in the movie Bowfinger, trying to scurry across the 101 Freeway in Los Angeles, to complete a scene.) The fact that I was able to find my way back tonight was nothing short of a miracle. It really could have gone either way.
But, more importantly, today was my first Indian Yoga class!!! Mr. Iyengar is under the weather, and even if he were well, I am not experienced enough to attend his classes. One must apply two years in advance and have at least 8 years of experience in Iyengar Yoga. I have one. However, I have a ten-year visa, so there’s hope! Mr. Iyengar will be 101 years old by then. If he’s still teaching, I am SO coming back!
I learned a lot in tonight’s class, but before I get into the yoga, here are the most important things I learned: (more…)
Joan White Writes Three Minute Egg Product Review for IYNAUS
Friday, December 30th, 2011
In the Fall 2011/Winter 2012 blog for the Iyengar Yoga National Association of the United States (IYNAUS), one of America’s senior Iyengar Yoga teachers, Joan White, has written a wonderful review of the Three Minute Egg. Joan brings the conversation to the table by admitting that she “understand[s] the resistance to yoga props that are not yet being sold by the Institute in Pune,” however with careful and deliberate experimentation she has found a positive response amongst her introduction of the Eggs to students in her workshops around the world.
Joan writes that she has even given some Eggs to B.K.S. Iyengar for Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute (RIMYI), the heart and soul of Iyengar Yoga. RIMYI is located in Pune, Maharashtra, where Iyengar resides. Jason will be headed over to India on January 4th for a month-long hangout with the Iyengar (more…)
