At Yoga Is My Life, reader trust is our most valuable asset. We understand that when it comes to health and physical practice, information must be more than just useful—it must be accurate, safe, and entirely reliable.
To fulfill our mission of providing a gold-standard yoga resource, we have established and strictly adhere to a rigorous editorial and expert review process. This page details the steps every article undergoes before reaching you.
Our Content Philosophy
We believe yoga is the beautiful intersection of ancient wisdom and modern science. Therefore, our content philosophy rests on three pillars:
- Safety First: Every instruction must prioritize the practitioner’s safety above all else.
- Evidence-Based: Claims regarding benefits, anatomy, and techniques must be backed by scientific literature and recognized texts.
- Comprehensive & Insightful: We don’t just teach “how”; we explain “why,” helping you understand your body and mind on a deeper level.
Our 6-Step Quality Assurance Process
Step 1: In-depth Research & Topic Selection
Every topic selected stems from the real needs of our community and is analyzed by our team to ensure relevance and value. We prioritize topics that help solve specific problems practitioners frequently encounter.
Step 2: Sourcing from Reputable References
Our editorial team conducts extensive research using verified, globally recognized sources. Key references include (but are not limited to):
- Specialized texts on anatomy and biomechanics in yoga by leading authors such as Leslie Kaminoff and Ray Long.
- Classical yoga texts and works by masters such as B.K.S. Iyengar.
- Reputable international yoga journals such as Yoga Journal and Yoga International.
- Medical scientific research databases such as PubMed.
Note on Visual Content: To illustrate complex poses, Yoga Is My Life utilizes AI-generated or AI-assisted imagery. These images may include watermarks from AI tools (e.g., the Gemini logo); this is part of our commitment to transparency and content provenance.
Step 3: Drafting by Specialized Writers
Raw content is drafted by a team of trained writers who possess a background and passion for yoga. We ensure the language used is clear, accessible, and inspiring, while maintaining terminological accuracy.
Step 4: Internal Review & Editing
The first draft undergoes cross-review by our editors to check for spelling, coherence, tone, and consistency with Yoga Is My Life’s high standards.
Step 5: Multi-Tier Expert Review (The Critical Step)
This is our core seal of quality.
- Layer 1 – Yoga Expertise Review: 100% of articles, regardless of topic, are forwarded to Head Coach Loan Nguyen. She reviews technical alignment, execution steps, practice safety, and philosophical appropriateness.
- Layer 2 – Medical Review (Mandatory for Therapy Content): All articles within the “Yoga Therapy” category or those making health/medical claims are sent to our Medical Advisor after passing Layer 1. The Doctor reviews, verifies, and approves all medical information, ensuring that the advice provided is safe and scientifically grounded.
Only articles that pass all necessary review layers are cleared for publication.
Step 6: Publication, Feedback & Periodic Updates
After publication, we continue to listen to community feedback. We are committed to periodically reviewing and updating all articles to ensure information remains fresh and accurate. The “Last Updated” date is always displayed at the top of every article.
