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 13th - Triangle and Revolved Triangle

We were all about Triangle (Trikonasana) and Revolved Triangle (Parivrtta Trikonasana) tonight - working from toes to crown to harness the strength and openess required to find peace in these often challenging poses. Remember, it is more about the twist and less about the fold. Twist from the inner to the outer and BREATHE!

Tonight's quote: "Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your concsiousness. Ho do you know this is the experience you need? Because this is the experience you are having at this moment." -Eckhart Tolle

Namaste.
