Digital Magazine and Newspaper Editions: Best Practice Cases
Yoga Journal
A Digital Edition for Earth Day
For more than 25 years, one magazine has reported on the
expansion and revolution of the yoga movement. Yoga Journal
(
www.yogajournal.com) has been there, serving yoga teachers and
the ever-growing yoga community. The Yoga Journal has a
