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.

3-29-10 Glutes

I'm back! Sorry for the delay in posting this past week. I was helping host a family wedding/reunion and time just got away from me. But, now I am back on track with the ever-popular stick people - WOOHOO!

Remember, when using your glutes (especially in poses like locust, cobra, and bridge) focus on the lowest part of your buns, in the area they connect into the back of the thighs. Don't crunch your lower back!

Quote for the practice: "Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending."
