The exclusive Canadian importer and distributor of Three Minute Egg® products, Trillium Connection, is planning an excursion to British Columbia for the Vancouver Yoga Conference and Show.
Of course, this won’t be the first year our egg-shaped yoga blocks have appeared in Vancouver, as 3ME inventor Jason Scholder has attended in the past. This year, Canadian distributor Samara Zoetmulder will be showing off our products at the show. Check out Trillium’s blog on the show for a special treat! If you see Samara at the conference and you first read about it here, make sure you tell her that Jason sent you!
At Three Minute Egg®, we are not the type to toot our own horn. Wait, yes we are. It’s just one of the ways we spread the word about the products we are so proud of. Of course, it is always better when someone else tells us how much they like our yoga props, and that’s what this is about.
It’s one thing when workshop attendees gush about how much they like using the Eggs in their practice. We see that after every workshop and we appreciate it every time. But it’s quite another when fans we haven’t even met put into writing what a difference the Three Minute Egg® yoga blocks have made in their practice.
It is with great joy that we’d like to share (more…)
The review begins with an interesting connection no one has ever made before: “Our aura is egg shaped … and now so are yoga props.“ We have also heard that the universe is egg-shaped, so maybe the Three Minute Egg® touches a deeper place than originally considered. What do you think? Is it fantasy or a deeper reality?
In Part 5 of 6 Jason Scholder, owner and inventor of the Three Minute Egg®, interviews Jason Crandell at the 2010 Yoga Journal Conference in Hollywood, FL about the effects of yoga practice on day to day life and long term. Jason is using Eggs in his personal practice and says they help keep his practice curious, fresh and alive.
Jason Crandell was one of the first master teachers to explore and embrace Three Minute Egg@ and as a result the Jason Crandell Signature Egg was born. Jason has many things in common with his fellow “Signateurs.” He is well-known, well-liked, and deeply respected in the community. We love Jason’s authenticity and his ability to relate asana and mindfulness to everyday life. Enjoy the video!
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…)

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.
Egg SignateurJoan 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.

Owner and inventor of JadeYoga Mats, Dean Jerrehian, is a dear friend of 3ME owner and inventor, Jason Scholder. In addition to a fantastic product, the story behind its creation is wonderful. The company grew out of Jade Industries, Inc., which made non-slip rubber rug pads for area rugs since the 1970s; the idea for a yoga mat evolved from a consistent request from yogis to make a mat out of the pads to fit their needs to use in their yoga practice. The response to the creation of JadeYoga Mats has been tremendous versus the typical, non-stick yoga mats. JadeYoga Mats are also eco-friendly, boasting that natural rubber has better cushion and resilience, making it more comfortable versus the standard synthetic materials so many other mats are made of.
With a JadeYoga Mat beneath you and a set of Eggs in your hands, you’re sure to have the most enjoyable practice in town. Stay tuned to 3ME for more giveaways soon.
