Flying Crow - Eka Pada Galavasana Is the Yoga Pose of the Week
When you take a vinyasa-style yoga class, you place yourself fully into the hands of the teacher. He or she decides what postures you will do and in what order. Most of the time, I enjoy this surrender of control, but I do have one pet peeve (try as I...
Forward Bending Tip of the Week
In uttanasana, let your head hang heavy. This means you'll probably be looking at your kneecaps. I have to remind myself to do this almost every time I do this pose. It's amazing how strong the urge is look at your toes, thereby cranking your neck, and how much...
Authentic Yoga with Deepak Chopra Featuring Tara Stiles
Authentic Yoga is an iPhone/iPod app from alternative medicine expert Deepak Chopra and yoga instructor Tara Stiles. Though there are some technical issues with this hot-off-the-presses app (rumored to be fixed by the even hotter-off-the-presses update), the authority of these teachers and the quality of their video instruction sets this...
Revolved Side Angle Is the Yoga Pose of the Week
I've been in the mood for twists lately, and revolved side angle pose fits the bill. To deepen the twist, you can bring your bottom hand to the outside of your front foot instead of the inside as it is shown here. Revolved Side Angle Is the Yoga Pose of the...

I've heard a couple of people say that when March 1st rolls around, that means it's spring, no matter what the weatherman might say about snow flurries. Apparently, March 1st is when people realize that they will soon be stripping off the winter layers and exposing their pale flesh to...

For anybody out there having trouble sleeping . . . I have the solution. It's called P90X and let me tell you–it works. Of course the really bad part is that I can't even stay awake to watch all of American Idol which is really bumming me out. Today was...
YogaDudes March 2010 Desktop Calendar
This month was a tough one. It's too early to feature flowers, although I really want to hurry Spring along. And I don't want to see anymore snow . . . So here is some simple scenery to distract us while we wait one more month 'til Spring. Just click...
So after my Friday rest day and my stellar P90X performance on Saturday morning, I further proved my theory today. I had so much energy after my work-out yesterday that I decided to take a nice hike in the slippery snow. I’m not sure if it was the hike or...
Yesterday was the first P90X Rest Day that I actually really rested. I almost always take the rest night off from P90, but I usually still do a lunch time work out. But yesterday I was too busy preparing my next yoga lesson (on paper) and I decided that it...
Early Observations from Year 3 of P90X
I’m just about finished with the second week of P90X and once again, I sailed through it. The only observation (besides me thinking that it’s too easy) that I made was how impatient I’m becoming watching the videos. I guess all of Tony’s humorous banter was fun the first time...

Ahimsa: An Ancient Vow for Healing and Peace

YogaHub.com
It’s been a week since YogaHub held its “live” Virtual World Yoga Conference and my head still hasn’t stopped spinning…talk about information overload! But it’s all good…better than good, in fact – it’s great. I got to “attend” some sessions on Friday but didn’t get to participate in any over...
Okay, I’ll admit it. It’s taken me quite a while to get my “New Year’s Revolution” going. All that talk about improving my health, getting fit, etc took a bit of a back seat because of other issues (aka “excuses”) that came up. But last week I finally had my first...
Gearing up for the Virtual Conference
Okay, I’m going to give myself a pat on the back here. Rather than give in to my usual procrastinating tendencies, I’ve given myself a proverbial boot up the backside and registered for YogaHub’s 1st Virtual World Yoga Conference – and I’m excited, to say the least! Have any of you...
I had a revelation the other day. I was invited by some friends to join them for an event. I thanked them and replied that I had a very full schedule with the upcoming Virtual Yoga Conference, which is less than a week away. I guess my friends were a bit...
Call me cynical (many have) but I’ve never had much time for Valentine’s Day. Cards, flowers, little (or not so little) gifts, declarations of undying love…all reserved for just one day? Shouldn’t we be expressing our appreciation for our loved ones every day? Not necessarily in words but in actions. They...
Isn’t this just too funny! Here I am, working on our biggest and most exciting event – and I go and lose my voice. I feel great, though! How could I not? For six years, this is one part of YogaHub that I have looked forward too. I have worked long...

I began my vinyasa yoga teacher training last Saturday. My head's been swimming with Sanskrit, ancient Hindu texts, and physiology. I had a moment, or rather many moments, of panic. Maybe I'm in over my head. Maybe this process was a very bad idea given the vertical learning curve I'm...

Emptiness, Freedom and System in Buddhism and Yoga
Buddhism and yoga share goals of freedom. Buddhism has the goal of nirvana which is similar to Rāja Yoga's goal of nirodha—both of which find expression in the concept of śūnyatā (emptiness).
