Welcome to Yogi Sticks!

Do you know your Gomukasana from your Adho Mukha Svanasana? Is your Vrksasana all it can be? And how do you feel about Supta Baddha Konasana? Do you know what I'm even talking about?

Sometimes the Sanskrit - however beautiful it sounds - is not very helpful. So, to encourage my students to expand their yoga practice into their home, I sketch the poses we practice during class on a chart and add the Sanskrit and common name. Hopefully, this is a useful tool to help them along in their yogic journey. I also troll the internet, books, and journals to find interesting articles about yoga and the yogic lifestyle.

1-18-10 Hero and Warrior



Monday night we explored several Warrior poses (Virabhadrasana) and a couple Hero (Vrasana) variations. Warrior poses require great concentration in the legs, keeping them strong rather than just "sinking" into them. Use the muscles - don't hang in the ligaments.

Tonight's quote was from Robet Byrne: "The purpose of life is a life of purpose".

Namaste
