You have attended some yoga classes and maybe also have done some yoga masterclasses, and now you want to get a little bit more serious about your yoga practice. The decision is made, and on your next break from the daily rutine, you are going away on a yoga retreat.
Here are answers to some of the questions you might ask yourself.

While the distinction between yoga holidays and yoga retreats is not always lucid, (from time to time organizers have not thought enough about how to correctly name their course), there is quite a diversity in terms of focus point and general impression or environment.

Generally speaking, a yoga holiday is primarily an activity holiday. The time dedicated daily to yoga usually will not last more than four hours, in one, or maybe two daily classes, and you will have plenty time for other activities or just to calm down and chill out.

Prenatal Yoga For someone who deals with speaking to large groups daily, I’m an oddly shy person.  I don’t like photos, videos, even calling people on the phone - I have to emerge far from my comfortable shell. What I aspire to do - my personal Sankalpa - is open a retreat center to help [...]

Prenatal Yoga Prt5   Bolsters, a stack of Yoga Therapy Blankets and a Massage table were so familiar to me they are the props I used to assist myself through my pregnancy, labor and birth. I recommend bringing a pillow, blanket or bolster to yoga class with you during pregnancy so you can assure that you are [...]

My baby girl has recently started having solid food. She got constipated. One would imagine that the only thing that it would affect, would be her demeanor, as she was pretty uncomfortable. In fact, this constipation made other things come out of alignment. She was unable to process her food properly because nothing was really moving She threw up. A lot. This made me very worried, as she had never done that before! This is this week’s yoga class theme. Listen to find out what my very wise Randy had to say and how it all turned out Oh yeah, the class was recorded on April 22 at the Pittsburgh Athletic Association

Just to let you all know. I’m plan on supplementing the live yoga classes with little extra episodes sprinkled here and there. Since the yoga classes themselves are so long, I never want to make my intro more than 6 minutes, as you really need to be getting to practicing! Given this predicament, I’ve decided to address emails, questions and feedback that I get from you guys in another supplement...

At 6:10 pm, I leave the house carrying three books (two to return to the Los Angeles Public Library, and one on Oscar Wilde by Richard Ellmann to read before class begins), my yoga mat and my blackberry.

The spasm goes away as I ignore Steve’s email, and shift my books and yoga mat to the opposite arm. I should go home but I don’t want to be home tonight. I have one book due today at the library. I don’t want to pay a fine.

At yoga, I find sitting with my blackberry in my shirt pocket provides too much stress to my back and I put my phone away in my man purse.

When the hubbub dies down, I start chatting with the other actress next to me. Next month, both actresses graduate from level one teacher training in Kundalini Yoga.

"All my life," says the brunette, "I’ve been looking for God. I’ve finally found Him in myself. I’ve had some profound experiences of Him through doing this yoga."

In this week’s episode I talk about LISTENING. It was all brought about by my latest venture: teaching other yoga teachers/professionals to podcast. I actually did my first ‘virtual’ workshop! It was very cool. Anyway, within the workshop I explained why I’m partial to an AUDIO yoga class as opposed to VIDEO. Y’all can listen to my intro to find out why

This is the first time in yoga class that I’ve been instructed to touch someone. Normally I do it out of my own volition and it’s created some very unfortunate incidents. But this is legal!

I’m ecstacy! I’m pumping a hot chick in yoga class chanting some bit of Hindu idolatry and she’s balling!

Topics for this month included Yoga, Yoga Instruction, Yoga Class and Pranayama.

10-01-2006 Students and people in general, are gifts and lessons in life. No two students will ever be the same in their ability, potential or learning style. Honoring my students means many things to me, and I use these ideas to help guide my teaching. First, I view it as an honor to have a student [...]
