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!

Egg Signateur Joan White is preparing to rev up her Philadelphia stomping grounds with an Iyengar workshop weekend hosted by Practice Yoga Studio. Her Senior Iyengar Yoga expertise will be partnered with the knowledge of yogic author Edwin Bryant, best known for his translation and commentary on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali published in 2009. Together, the two will present an incredible combination of sutras and asanas from Friday, March 30 through Sunday, April 1.
While Joan tours throughout the year to offer various workshops around the country and the world, the Philadelphia favorite will remain in the city for this one. As the director of the B.K.S. Iyengar School of Central Philadelphia, her expertise has been recognized time and time again by the city; she has been named the Yoga Doyenne of Philadelphia by the Philadelphia Magazine, and has been awarded Best of Philly for yoga three times.
Edwin Bryant received his PhD in Indic Languages and Cultures from Columbia University. He later went on teach both at Columbia and Harvard University, and he has been teaching at Rutgers University since 2001 where he has been a professor of Hindu religion and philosophy.
Together, Edwin and Joan are sure to offer what will be a special weekend.

With the show just a few weeks away, Three Minute Egg® Canada is gearing up for another year at The Yoga Conference in Toronto, Canada. From March 29 through April 1 you can find Team 3ME Canada at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre once again, this time around with our official Canadian distribution set-up and ready to go on the sales frontline.
Three Minute Egg® has recently partnered with Trillium Connection for exclusive Canadian distribution. Trillium is a Toronto-based company established by Samara Zoetmulder; her family is already well-versed in the Canadian yoga community, as her father distributes JadeYoga mats.
You’ll find Three Minute Egg® at Booth #314, with JadeYoga at our neighbor Booth #312, at The Yoga Conference this year.
As always with our presence at yoga conferences you’ll be sure to find knowledgeable staff working the 3ME exhibitor booth. Egg demonstrations are offered, as well as the opportunity to try them out for yourself and feel the benefits first-hand. Keep your eyes peeled for a free 3ME Yoga Class in the yoga garden on Friday, March 30 from 1:30-2:30PM.
Conference participants will find that the 3ME booth will be offering excellent retail discounts. Eggs can be purchased at a discount along with a complimentary Special Edition Alignment & Flow DVD; additionally, shipping charges can be avoided by purchasing them in person.
Three Minute Egg® Canada is now taking pre-orders for quick and easy pickup at the show; special discounted show prices will be honored for these orders as well. With a pre-order colors are guaranteed, which otherwise (more…)

It was at the Toronto Yoga Conference and Show where I first had the pleasure of meeting Jason Scholder. After attending Jason’s Three Minute Egg presentation in the Yoga Garden, I immediately fell in love with the Eggs! This experience forever changed the way I thought about yoga props.
Before I was introduced to the Three Minute Egg®, I was only familiar with square props–the traditional yoga block as they’re commonly referred to. As an experienced sales associate working for my father at JadeYoga Canada, I was familiar with the benefits of using blocks as they can offer the support and height needed to practice a pose safely, comfortably, and with beautiful alignment. Nevertheless, it’s not uncommon to hear that blocks end up being caste aside because “they just don’t feel good.”
After attending Jason’s demonstration, I knew that the Three Minute Egg was an incredibly innovative and original product. Entering the inviting 3ME booth to purchase my first set, I was immediately impressed with the overall presentation–friendly and knowledgeable staff, an outstanding selection of colours, as well as show discounts and a free instructional DVD! When the catchy slogan “Because your Body’s Not Square” caught my attention, it all made perfect sense. Since our body’s are curved, using a hard and rigid square shape is naturally going to feel uncomfortable and awkward to work with. The yoga block needed to evolve, and because of Jason’s vision we now have the latest innovation–the Three Minute Egg®. (more…)

Cora Wen in Eka Pada Urdvha Dhanurasana
Today kicks off Cora Wen’s latest Yoga Bloom Teacher Training, sponsored by Brentwood Yoga in Brentwood, CA. The training is a five-day module, with courses each day from now until Sunday, March 11.
Cora has designed the training so that aspiring teachers have the luxury of flexibility, utilizing modules that “both stand independently and speak to each other in creating a comprehensive program.” Each of the five-day modules count as 50 hours toward the 500 RYT Advanced Yoga Alliance Certification.
This design allows teachers to customize their training in a schedule and manners that best fits their own path. Cora’s support in this program allows each teacher to discover a teaching style that caters to their specific audience of students.
Throughout the next five days Cora will focus on the topic of “The Art of Teaching: Sequencing, Themes, & Working with Injury.” Cora will be incorporating the Three Minute Egg (more…)

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…)

Back in December, 2011, I was awarded Entrepreneur of the Month in Asheville, NC. Here is a local radio spot they aired about it. I thought it was kinda cool….

Nana and His Rickshaw
I believe it was David Byrne (it’s possible he was quoting someone else) who said, “Rich people will travel great distances to take pictures of poor people.” Certainly by local standards, this was me.
The last few weeks have been some of the most evolutionary of my recent life. For those of you following along, you know I’ve been through some harrowing times and some adventures, had a good deal of fun and done some great shopping. A friend of mine from home, who has been coming to India for 40 years and still finds it quite challenging said, “India is relentless in its pursuit of forcing you to become who you really are.” His words carried me through much of this journey.
My Ego was obliterated on the mat and my days made needlessly complicated by the simple lack of infrastructure this country suffers. I was forced to phone a friend for some emotional support for what I was experiencing. And yet somewhere around day 13, I came through the dark night of my own soul and emerged happy, energized, and excited to go to my next class, buy yogurt from the little store on my way home, and cross the death-defying 6 lanes of traffic that separated my neighborhood from that of the Iyengar Institute in Pune. India has a pace all its own and it clearly took me some time to adjust. As I get ready to leave, I am simultaneously relieved and sad and anxious to come back, though next time I will make a point of staying longer and seeing more of the country. There is just way too much good stuff here not to spend more time.
I made some friends here who I will miss very much. Parvez and his wife Zarin sell CDs and books in the institute. Parvez was a pharmacist for years and evidently sleeps on my Eggs to help the severe curve in his back — perhaps from years of hunching over to fill prescriptions? He and his wife love the Eggs so much they want to be my Indian distributor. Rima tailored a dozen articles of clothing for me by way of contributing to my Indian makeover. And Nana, oh, Nana. Everyone needs someone like you if they’re going to come someplace like this. When Nana was with me, life was smooth. When he was absent, life was much more… real.
I have some parting advice I’d like to offer for anyone coming here in the future. Feel free to ignore it. (more…)
