Todd Jones, Blogger
A yoga practitioner for more than 20 years, Todd Jones has been an editor at Yoga Journal since 1997. He’s edited the Asana (now Master Class) column for eight years and the Anatomy column since its beginning, as well as writing and editing a wide range of feature stories and departments and coaching the yoga practitioners at most of Yoga Journal’s photo shoots.
Todd's fascination with Indian meditative practices began at age 13, when he discovered the writings of J. Krishnamurti. In college, at Princeton University and the University of California, Santa Cruz, he discovered Zen, vipassana, and yoga. Todd is also a devotee of the interactive dance form/spiritual practice called Contact Improvisation, a runner, a road cyclist, a massage therapist, a former chef, a (mostly) unabashed and (mostly) temperate gourmand, and a reading addict. He’s extremely grateful to all the yoga teachers who have instructed and inspired him, and especially to his primary teacher, Kofi Busia.
One of Todd's favorite poses is Supta Virasana. Backbends are his most challenging asanas, and preparing for them with this pose makes them much easier.
