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.

5-19-2010: Knees...The Return

I know you didn't get enough last week, and I hate to disappoint, so here you go!! Remember, we are not only stretching the connective tissue in the knee, but building strength and stability in the surrounding muscles. Practice ahimsa - nonviolence to others and yourself. If it hurts, don't do it!!

Ralph Waldo Emerson: "Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen."
