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.

Check out these photos from a few recent kids' classes. Such energy and enthusiasm! This is my son, Ben, demonstrating "candle" - or what adults call shoulderstand.
How about a few bow poses? So good for the kids after a long day bending over their desks at school.

And tree is always a favorite (sometimes we pretend to be flamingos while in tree pose).
