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.

Stretching


In the newest Real Simple magazine, there is an article about stretching. Interesting information about the surprising benefits of staying limber and some suggestions on quick stretches to do each day that only take about 10 minutes. Check it out at http://www.realsimple.com/ and do a search for "stretching" - it is the first article listed.
