Yoga Resources & Online Yoga Communities:
Erich Schiffman’s Moving Into Stillness Community Boards:

Open Mind, Open Body: Resources For Yoga Students and Yoga Teachers
Offering lots of interesting articles for inspiration and suggestions for your practice. Also has a very unique online class, available for donation (any price) with weekly newsletter/practice suggestions/inspirations and online discussion community. Also has a free newsletter that you can sign up for.
Kofi Busia’s Site
My teacher, Kofi, has a lot of great resources – including his wonderful translation of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras (also with audio, so you can hear them in Sanskrit), and traditional Mantras and Invocations (both written and audio).
