New Site Provides Yoga Community a Place to Connect outside the Studio
The newly launched YogaConnect Web site (www.YogaConnect.com) is the premier online destination for yoga enthusiasts to connect outside of the studio.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) May 24, 2005 -- A newly launched Web site, www.YogaConnect.com,
provides the first conscious dating and community Web site for the yoga
culture.
Every day, yoga continues to have a transformational effect on
the lives of people in the US. Currently 20 million Americans are practicing
yoga with that number continuing to grow rapidly. While there are an incredible
number of people experiencing the yoga awakening, many still find themselves
wondering where to look in this rapidly emerging culture to find like-minds. In
fact, seeking out others who share a passion for yoga has been pretty much
confined to those who practice sun salutations at their local studios…until now,
thanks to a site appropriately called YogaConnect (www.yogaconnect.com).
The inspiration for YogaConnect
came in 2004 when, just prior to the start of a yoga class, the soon-to-be
founders overheard a fellow practitioner commenting to a friend about how great
it would be to meet someone who shared her love of yoga. This comment, along
with their own passion for yoga, led the Los Angeles based group to create a fun
and unique destination for those experiencing the yogic lifestyle. With yoga
having such a profound effect on many people's lives, the company realized the
moment was right to create a site where the yoga culture could interact,
explore, share ideas and create relationships of all kinds.
Yoga means
union, which is exactly what YogaConnect is about. “There's a magic that occurs
when we begin to practice yoga. We may find ourselves more interested in
environmental issues, adopting a healthier lifestyle, or embracing more
opportunities for personal growth. These kinds of changes compel you to
cultivate new relationships with others who are having a similar experience.
YogaConnect provides a space for yoga enthusiasts to do just that.” shares Chris
Roy, one of the company's founding partners.
As dedicated yogis
themselves, the YogaConnect founders are committed to bringing yoga-minded
people together in a healthy, balanced and fun-filled way. One example called
“Vibes” are fun yogic messages that members send back and forth, like “You are a
Goddess” and “You light up my Chakras.” Also featured are lifestyle articles
provided by Yogi Times, a teacher/studio directory and an engaging member
profile questionnaire. Community Guru and co-founder Hong Vo explains, “While
answering our profile questions you may discover some very interesting insights
about yourself. It seems to us that there is much more to people than their
occupation or how much they earn. YogaConnect really gets to the heart of a
person.”
The Web site is now live and is inviting yogis to logon and
register for their free membership. With everyone from Russell Simmons to
Madonna helping to popularize yoga, the company is confident the site will
quickly populate. Says Roy, “We created YogaConnect to appeal to all levels and
styles of yoga. Whether you're just beginning the yoga journey or you're
certified master, you’ll find a warm welcome here.”
