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.

January 11th - Legs



In tonight's practice we focused on our legs - both their powerful strength and their delicate flexibility. It is important to remember to lift your knee-caps when in these poses, to not only activate the correct muscles, but also to protect your joints from hyperextending.

The quote from tonight's class (shared by my good yogi friend, Jessica) was: "It will all be fine in the end. If it is not fine, it's not the end". Love it!

Have a great week!
Namaste.
