A beautiful recurrent feature of LA Yoga magazine is the last page. It features a yantra (meditation focusing device), seed mantra (sacred sound), and an explanation of the symbol. The magazine is free around Los Angeles, but back issues are also available from layogaonline.com. It covers yoga poses, healthy living, Ayurveda (the ancient Vedic knowledge for restoring and maintaining optimal health), diet suggestions, events, astrology by Tamiko Fischer, yoga studio listings, consciousness raising, and social issues. Some of it is in Spanish. And there is a wonderful yogic comic called "Lady Yoga Superhero," a superheroine living the ancient Vedic dharma in the modern world.
