What is a Yogi??

What is a yogi, exactly?

Yogi
according to Wikipedia:

(Sanskrit: masc yogī, योगी ; fem yoginī) originally referred in the Classical Sanskrit of thePuranas specifically to a male practitioner of Yoga. In the same literature yoginī is the term used for female practitioners as well as divine goddesses and enlightened mothers, all revered as aspects of the Divine Mother Devi, without whom there would be no yogis. The two terms are still used today but the word Yogi is also generically used to refer to both male and female practitioners of yoga and related meditative practices in Buddhism, Jainism, Taoism etc.

Prairie Yogi Magazine is a brand new yoga and lifestyle magazine coming to Winnipeg! Our goal is to educate and inspire yogis and yoginis across the prairies, bringing our community together.

Prairie Yogi Magazine will be available December 2011 at yoga studios in Winnipeg, and will feature written and photographic contributions from talented yogis in the community.

On this blog you will find information, reviews of yoga studios in the city, lifestyle tips, recipes, and inspiration to find your way onto your mat.

To start off this wonderful space on the world wide web, giving some love with MC Yogi seems appropriate.
