I just went through the exercises of a yoga video I got, and last week I attended a yoga class for the first time at the gym. The class is in the gym at my University and seemed pretty good. It was an hour long beginners class and the instructor went through everything slowly, explaining things...

:halo: Free standing lotus forarm balance :halo:

I've been having some trouble with the lotus posture. I can get into it easy enough and without any joint pain whatsoever if my right leg is the one inside (right leg brought in first). However, If I sit with my left leg as the inner leg my knee feels a little tight. No matter which leg I have in...

I got the wii-fit as a gift, and just started to use it. I found the yoga system great…but I know nothing about yoga! I am a beginner clearly…and I like many of the workouts the Wii-Fit has. It is a nice cool down after kung-fu. But I am just wondering (assuming you do not cheat the...

Doing some research for something else I dug up some fun videos. YouTube - ashtanga yoga demo Honest, basic, ashtanga. I like the consistency of technique through the postures. That's one good thing about a series based system, you don't get wild variations in ability between postures. ...

Baba Ramdev buys Scottish island- Hindustan Times This is kind of odd. Strange choice of location. :crazy: He's already a controversial figure in India, he's going to be a lot more controversial there. There's already an island up there pretty much given over to being a budhist retreat ( Holy...

Any one else into this? I've been doing a bit recently and decided I like it. It's good fun, the theraputic stuff is great for your back, and while hardly the most intense practice it can be a good workout. Besides, I figure you've got to be popular at the beach/ in the park if you can base...

Well like the title says Im thinking of joining a yoga class and my wife, though she is a little more of the attitude that she can take it or leave it, might as well. I dont know if its a good place or not but the classes are at the Local YMCA. Is there anything yall can tell me to look out for? Im...

One of my tai chi/kung fu teachers is Rick Powell. He is Sifu Li's senior tai chi praying mantis student here in Grand Rapids. Rick started training in Sifu's back yard in the early 80's when he was 18. Rick also found Ansura yoga, and he and his wife Behnje have been teaching for years. They...

Any suggestion for abs training in yoga? So far I'm unconvinced. Traditional leg raises? Can do more than any one I know but that doesn't translate to core control and strikes me as a recipe for lower back pain long term. Ashtanga and bandhas? First ashtanga class I went to the teacher came...

..ummm, yeah. YouTube - Hippie Weirdo Yoga Farmers

A thread for interesting yoga postures or transitions that are worth playing around with and puzzling out. First one: transition from headstand direct to pea****. Feet obviously don't touch the ground and need to come to pea**** without the chin down before any transition into chin down and feet...

Not just a yoga topic but triggered by yoga. Any one practice really long holds of yoga poses/chi kung postures? I'm not thinking so much restorative postures as things like horse stance, down dog. Some one was mentioning one hour down dog the other day and I thought it an interesting...
