fuckyeahyoga: haha!
watch your ego! yoga reminder
using the wall or a prop isn’t “cheating”. if you are a beginner, there’s no shame in using blocks!
learn the asanas properly the first time so when you get to the intermediate stage of things you have the proper body strength and alignment for the more advanced poses.
as a yoga instructor, i can’t tell you how many times i see people in triangle and the chest is...

Good news: Yoga makes you taller
tea-for-me:
Ha. I suppose that’s one way to lower your BMI.
I totally agree! As people age, their posture gets worse. Mine has stayed more or less the same or has improved. I have known this guy for over 10 years and when we first met, he was taller than me by an inch. Now I’m a little taller than him.

We showed up with our mats, towel, and…

BELLINI YOGINI: Light on yoga →
belliniyogini:
So this is the first I’ve mentioned it, but in the back of the Book “Light on Yoga” B.K.S Iyengar outlines a 5-year daily yoga practice-guide covering the asanas described in the book. I’ve been doing this plan for what will be 2 weeks on Sunday, and so far it’s been an interesting experience. The…
