Update: June 9, 2009

Congratulations go out to Rhythm of the Light for winning this month's YogaPoints prize of a $100 gift certificate from Lululemon.

So what the heck is that new "Most Active Members" thing on the right sidebar of the website? Well, it's a new feature that lists the top 10 most active members on the Toronto Yoga Guide and it's also a fun way to win cool stuff while getting involved with your local yoga community.

Here's how it works:

Each time you log in you are awarded "YogaPoints" for the things you do to contribute to the community. For example, you can earn YogaPoints for the following activities:

- Creating an account
- Adding a picture to your member account
- Posting items such as profiles, event listings, blog entries and discussion topics
- Commenting on other posts
- Rating posts (the 5 little hearts at the bottom of each post)

All member's YogaPoints have been reset to 0 as of noon today (May 9th, 2009). The member with the most points by noon on June 9, 2009 will win a $100 gift certificate from Lululemon. So write that post, ask that question, connect with your yoga community and win cool stuff with YogaPoints!

Of course the Toronto Yoga Guide is the only social networking website that you would ever want to join. But just in case you're one of those crazy few rebels with an account on Facebook, you're in luck.

First off, congratulations go out to a number of TYG member studios for making BlogTO's list of the best Yoga studios in Toronto. As the New Year approaches, thousands of Toronto procrastinators will vow to move from the couch to the mat as they begin or renew their Yoga practice. This article provides a great place to start.

Now when you create a new event listing (pro members only) you can allow other members to sign up for your event right here on the site. Simply enable the signup feature when you create your event listing. To see who's signed up and to manage registration, simply login and visit your event listing.
