Yoga Journal’s editorial team has provided inspiration and instruction to those who want to learn about the practice and philosophy of yoga since 1975.
The California Yoga Teachers Association founded Yoga Journal and brought on Judith Hanson Lasater as one of the first editors. Throughout the years, Yoga Journal has shared insights and explanations from experts in various aspects of the tradition of yoga through the support of thousands of yoga teachers, writers, editors, and photographers. We continue to report on the ways in which yoga has evolved to serve differing communities who come together for the same practice and how yoga supports you in all aspects of your everyday life.
