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.

Yoga Festival

A Bay-area yoga teacher has organized an all-day yoga festival in Odessa on April 16th. Teachers from all over the region will be there with sessions of yoga, meditation, nutrition, ayurveda, music, dancing, and kids' yoga "stuff".

I plan on working at the kids' tent (run by Kidding Around Yoga) most of the day, but escaping once in a while to explore the other goodies. So it is going to be a family-friendly event. Bring your mat and wander the campground to learn what else is out there in the yoga community.

The festival has a Facebook Page (http://www.facebook.com/RasaLilaFest) or you can Google "rasa-lila yoga festival" and find the information there.
