I researched and tested the top clean skincare brands on the market — these are my favorites for natural, organic, and nontoxic ingredients at a range of price points.

At Empty Cloud Monastery, the clouds were not empty: They were fit to bursting, and they poured. On July 18–19, beneath the sound of rain on a tent roof, monastics and laypeople gathered to talk about peace.  We were there for the inaugural Metta Convention USA—organized by Metta Centre, and hosted in partnership with Buddhist Insights at its affiliate monastery, Empty Cloud, New Jersey. Metta Centre is a Buddhist nonprofit based in Sydney, Australia. Buddhist Insights is a nonprofit founded in New York. Their shared goal: to foster connection across Buddhist traditions, and make Buddhist teachings accessible and relevant to…

Published August 6, 2026 10:20AMYoga Journal’s archives series is a curated collection of articles originally published in past issues beginning in 1975. This article about yoga for relaxation first appeared in the January-February 1982 issue of Yoga Journal. When I began teaching yoga in Austin, Texas, in 1971, I had a most unusual student. Each evening a man would enter the class, move quietly to the side, and lie down to relax in Savasana, or Corpse Pose. In itself, this behavior was not so unusual—except that he would remain there for the entire hour of class. At the conclusion of class, he…

A few months back, I was returning from a dharma retreat in Mexico City—three days in the city to walk in silence and be in community. One of the retreatants I had the good fortune and blessing to spend those days with was a beautiful and powerful birth doula named Erica Pinilla. As it turned out, it happened to be Mother’s Day when we were to head home, and so Erica and I took an Uber back to the airport together. While we were sitting in traffic, she began to ask me all these questions related to my own birth.…

Everywhere I look, there’s some sort of productivity advice. It’s always geared towards folks whose brains don’t work the same that mine does — focus on a single task, do the most important thing first, ignore distractions. But for me, distractions are frankly what keep me going! This productivity advice can get overwhelming fast, especially when everyone seems to have a different system, app, or morning routine claiming to be the one that finally works. There’s always posited “a solution,” but I’ve really never found the right one. It’s frustrating. So I asked you, readers, what your productivity hacks are. Turns…
