Yoga might make us feel more youthful, but a new yoga class promises to get rid of wrinkles, frown lines, and crow's feet.

A yoga retreat at a vineyard might sound like bliss to some, but purists aren't so sure that wine and yoga belong together.

You can't help others until you help yourself, and the same applies (or should) to gift giving. But self-directed gifts needn't be about greed or even self-indulgence. Below, LIME proposes five intentions, or novel ways to think about self-giving, plus 10 tangible gift suggestions that might help you lead a greener, more balanced, and more conscious life.

5 INTENTIONS

Some yoga classes have introduced free weights to build better yogis. Is it wise to mix traditional yoga poses with dumbbells?

The problem: What to do when the yoga teacher you adore has an unbearable human foible: B.O.

The answer: Souls are more important than showers.

A $125 super-hip yoga mat. A $110 Stella McCartney mat carrier. Nike yoga shoes?

Yoga bling is getting more sophisticated by the day. Which is funny, since yoga requires almost no gear at all.

Can a workout get any better than yoga in bed?

And I mean a real yoga session with your PJs on -- for those of you whose thoughts just turned tantric.
