“Reconnect[ing] to motherhood as a wild, divine celebration,” Janet Stone has put together a variety of powerful sequences in a DVD that celebrates post-natal yoga in an unprecedented manner.
Entitled Radiant Mom Yoga the DVD is an encapsulation of her Radiant Mom workshops devoted to helping women traverse the various stages of motherhood. With two daughters of her own, Janet has transcended the exhilarating demands of parenting into a form of yoga with a mission to help foster a strong connection to the mother’s center.
Janet opens the DVD telling us that beyond her pilgrimage to India in 1996 which first brought her to yoga, she has found her deepest learning from her daughters, the inspiration for this manifestation of post-natal yoga. With all of the nourishment the mother must give to their children, she reminds us that it’s essential to “carve out a moment for yourself” and nourish your own mind, body, and soul. When you first nourish yourself, you can better nourish others.
Students may choose from two sequences (more…)

The excitement is building as Team 3ME prepares for another transcendent weekend at the Midwest Yoga Conference, May 17-20, just outside of the Windy City in Bloomingdale, IL.
Each year we look forward to returning to MYC as a particularly nurturing community in the Midwest. It is a home-away-from-home for us, where all of the staff treats me like family. There are people who come only to this show each spring, and they’ve been doing so for years. One of the personal highlights for me is the yoga demonstration given annually by Jim Bennitt. I have filmed him two years in a row and will make these videos available for viewing online after this year’s event.
What it is that makes this conference so special is a feeling that must be experienced rather than described. As you visit their website, you encounter a sense of enlightened intimacy, even in its virtual presence. On their theme of Beauty and Truth, Jonny Kest radiates an open invitation to “come join a radical detox movement that will celebrate a weekend of sweet yoga, live music and led dance flows,” inviting all walks of life to come together onto the mat for a shared experience.
The environment is humble and nurturing, giving students the opportunity to practice under the guidance of numerous well-respected teachers in the yoga community.
Many teachers also return year after year, including 3ME Family member Janet Stone. Her long-time teaching assistant, Jody Greene, shares that (more…)

After only a single day’s passing Janet Stone’s iPhone app, Yoga with Janet Stone, debuted at #2 in the iTunes store. The app can be found in the Health & Beauty category, as well as currently in the New & Noteworthy category due to its overnight success. Having partnered with company lolofit, the app guides you through Janet’s “vigorous-yet-sumptuous approach to Vinyasa” in a “dynamic form of yoga flows from one posture to the next in rhythm with your breath.”
As an advocate of the Eggs, Janet has incorporated our ergonomic yoga blocks into several of her sequences in the app. Through Radiant Mom Yoga Janet has adopted the Eggs as an integral prop in her practice and teaching.
With over 100 flows arranged into 6 practices that change daily or 4 that progress in difficulty, yogis will find many options from beginner to advanced levels. The app includes over 5 hours of Janet’s audio instruction along with over 3 and a half hours of video tutorials. If you choose to design your own sequence, users may do so with the included Practice Builder.
Of the many perks of the app one that is most notable is the option to track your practice, as well as share with your friends. With several hours of yoga music, meditation sessions, and the Eggs by your side, you’re in for quite the complete at-home yoga practice. If you can’t keep up with Janet on the road, then this is the perfect alternative!

The Tadasana International Yoga & Music Festival in Santa Monica was like a mini yoga-explosion. People came out of the woodwork, and some traveled from as far as South Africa to be at the event. 3ME had its booth in the VIP shopping district where we could calmly meet with the most sincere and interested yogis. I was able to connect with some old friends, provide Eggs for multiple classes, including Seane Corn’s Off the Mat, Into the Worldspecial event, and meet lots of new teachers who have been wanting to get their hands on some Eggs. We were also thrilled to have Kia Miller, Lisa Walford, Kathryn Budig and Marla Apt to incorporate the Eggs into their workshops at Tadasana. It was awesome to feel and see the Egg family growing right before our eyes!
This was the first year of this mammoth event, and despite the unseasonably cold weather at the beach (it was 92 degrees in “the Valley”), the local hardcore yoga community was present in full force. We look forward to keeping in touch with the amazing people we met, and watching the Eggs spread their love through my old hometown.
A special shout-out to my crew, Molly, Masha, and Kiki as well as the ever-supportive Melissa Kann, who was kind enough to loan me her Land Cruiser so I could shuttle my massive supply of Eggs to the show. Who says you can never go home again? I had an amazing time!

From the 3ME Canada Blog:
Toronto’s sixth annual Green Living Show kicked off last Friday at Exhibition Place and continued throughout the weekend. Three Minute Egg® Canada made its first appearance this year, teaming up with JadeYoga to exhibit in the shows latest addition – the Sweat Equity Yoga Pavilion. Sponsored by Sweat Equity Magazine – the only Canadian publication dedicated to yoga, fitness, and lifestyle – the pavilion featured demos, mini-workshops, and yoga classes from top teachers in the GTA.
I was fortunate enough to reconnect with fellow dancer Eva Redpath, creator of Body Conditioning by Dancers and had a serious workout during her challenging and inspirational demonstrations. During the show, Eva and Robyn Baldwin (fitness model and competitor) filmed their Mid Month Motivation video direct from our booth at the Green Living Show! April’s motivational demonstration features a fantastic hip-opening exercise utilizing the Harmony mat by JadeYoga. Eva left the show with a beautiful Teal Green Namast-Egg Starter kit in toe, so keep your eyes open for her upcoming mid-month features!
Toronto editor for Flare Magazine and fitness writer for The Globe and Mail, Maureen Halushak, also stopped by to pick up a set of Eggs. Maureen will be publishing a piece on the Three Minute Egg slated to appear in the Globe’s Life section in next Monday’s newspaper (April 30th, 2012). In preparation for the article, I set Maureen up with Toronto based yoga instructor Duncan Parviainen, who enjoys working with the Eggs due to (more…)

While yoga is not an activity that necessarily requires gear to participate, Alignyo points out that there are props that help to support and enhance your practice. Of the three props that they mention, the thriving online yoga community begins their article by exploring the Three Minute Egg®.
Alignyo found that the ergonomic design of the Eggs is “more aligned with the shape of your body, making the egg an ideal fit for between your legs (think mountain pose or backbends).” They note the availability of different Egg densities: Hard-Boiled for support in weight arm balances, and the softer Namastegg, ideal for supporting your head and spine. The latter is their preference, finding that “these cushiony eggs are a great comfort in restorative poses like supported fish.”
Ultimately, they concluded that “your standard block will still do the trick, but if you are a fan of restorative yoga, we recommend trying the Namastegg as a comfy addition to your reclining postures.”
The blog went on to recognize (more…)

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…)
