journaling

Yoga Journal is a leading provider of content and media within the yoga community. In fact, it is one of the more trusted names for yoga resources. This is especially true of people who are trying to develop a yoga routine in their home or for those wanting to move out of their home and into a yoga business through certifications and networking. One of the ways that Yoga Journal reaches out to their readers and followers is through DVD releases a few times a year. One of these releases is the Yoga Journal 7 Day Detox DVD set.

The 7-Day Detox DVD set is designed to detox the mind, body, and soul. It is not focused on only the body or only your yoga practice. The focuses are on reducing your stress, working through a detox diet, and then introducing a cleansing yoga routine. All of this is done alongside a form of self study or mindfulness. This is introduced and applied over the course of seven days. It can be repeated as needed throughout the year when you may feel like your body is not on par with its normal feeling.

The 7-Day Detox DVD Set includes 2 DVD’s. This may seem a bit simplistic, but all the information you need is contained inside of the DVD set. Everything from mindfulness to Ayurveda is included along with explanation. There is nothing left to guess work and the DVD set is made for beginners. So, you won’t be left in the dark with what to do or how to apply it to your life.

The DVD set is a bit different from other detox sets of its kind. For one, it only has the two discs. There are no booklets, journals, extras, and accessories to buy. In essence, the DVD pack is what it is. It is a 100 minute total DVD package designed to get you back on track if yoga is something you are drawn to. Also, it lasts for 7 days specifically. Most of the detox sets you find actually last for much longer than 7 days or may be much shorter, but with no diet plan.

The diet plan listed in the DVD set is Ayurvedic in form. This means you aren’t going to find just juicing diets and quick crash diets. Overall, if you are into yoga and you want to add mindfulness to your detox, this is the DVD for you.

Journaling is one of the keys to mindfulness, finding patterns in your life that are causing negative energy, and to developing a positive living routine that works for you on a long-term basis. When you think about journaling, you may be thinking about small cheap journals from local dollar stores or from book stores. In other words, you don’t think of them as paying a long-term solution for any of your issues. There are some journals, however, that give you a more elegant feel that leads you to want to use the journal more often and make it a long-term solution. One of those types of journals is the Semi-Precious Leather Journal with Buckle Closure.

The journal is made of handcrafted leather. The leather source is goat leather which can give a more supple feel, but offer a long-lasting grain that does not fade or break overtime and use. The paper inside of the journal is recycled which adds to the quality for most users. For some people, the journal size is the issue. You don’t want something too large, but something the size of a paperback may not be enough.

This journal size falls between the two at 7 inches high, 5 inches wide, and about 1.5 inches thick. There are 200 blank pages that can be used for writing, doodling, or anything you would like to journal. The key to this journal is the unlined paper which allows for people with larger writing styles or who prefer the true blank space of a journal. The journal opens and closes with a brass closure to keep it secure in your briefcase, desk, or purse.

There are multiple ways to use the journal, which makes it ideal for a variety of people and tastes. You can use it as a bullet journal, photo journal, gratitude journal, or a hybrid journal that allows you to jot down notes for the day. You can use multiple forms of media and pens with this journal as the paper is not too thin and will resist bleed through. It is not refillable, but can be placed in a bookcase when full to give a special leather bound look for years to come.

The journal is ideal for someone who wants to journal with a bit of luxury. It is also ideal if you want a journal that can be decorative and sit on a bookcase with other journals after they are full. The quality of the handmade leather journal will last for decades and stand up to daily use easily.
