The Yoga Journal 2012 Calendar depicts graceful and poised yogis in beginning and intermediate asanas. These simple expressions of the postures strike me as more approachable and down-to-earth than past yoga calendars where the yogis perform impressive bends and twists. The Yoga Journal 2012 Calendar features people who seem more like real friends who do yoga.
