Yoga Class Etiquette
Whether you're planning on going to your first yoga class or you've been to a million, there are some things every good yogini needs to know. This way, you'll be able to respect the teacher, and respect yourself as well.
- Wear clean clothes: Some teachers assist you in postures, and you wouldn't want them to have to smell your stinky previously sweat in outfit.
Not Many Guys
Last night I went to a yoga class and when I looked around the room, there was only 1 guy in a sea full of women yoginis.
What's up with that? Yoga started so long ago in India, and was done mostly by men.
Watch Your Drishti Mister
Ok, so just when I had blabbed on about how there are hardly any guys in my yoga classes, last night, this new guy showed up.
At the beginning, I was psyched to see a representative of the male population in class. The way the room is set up, there are 2 rows that face each other - he was right across from me.
How Do You Like that Lotion on Your Face?
I just went to a yoga class and I need to vent. The class was awesome - very fast and challenging poses, upbeat and inspirational music, and I felt like I worked every muscle in my body. By the time we got to Savasana at the end of class, I couldn't have been more ready.This is Yoga? Cool. I'll Go...
We've been talking a lot about yoga - mostly about the poses, but there is so much more to yoga than that. I'm dying to share my experiences, the good, the bad, the funny, and the embarrassing. So here we go.
Yoga: What's With the Om?
I've been to many different yoga classes, from Kripalu to Ashtanga to Jivamukti, and they all have something in common. At the end the teacher always leads the class in chanting "Ommmm."
Om, actually pronounced "Aum," is an affirmation of the Divine Presence that is the universe and is similar to the Hebrew "Amen."
Uh Hello - I Have Asthma!!
I went to a yoga class the other night and just about everything about it was perfect. It was a Vinyasa class, so we did all these different arm balancing poses and hip openers, and the music was really vibrant and loud (I love that). The instructor kicked my butt.More Than Embarrassing
Okay so I'm just going to get on with this story without any long intros. Everyone farts. It's a fact of life.Best Yoga DVD's for a beginner?
Hey!
So I'm just starting into the yoga scene. I've had a private lesson from one of my friends who is a yoga instructor and I LOVED it.
Freedom From the Smell
OMG guys - Remember I told you about that guy in my class with the sweaty, stinky, mildewy yoga rug? I was all set to casually say something to him, but when I got into class, someone had beat me to it. This other guy was talking to him (he also had a rug) and he told him "you know you can stick your rug in the washing machine."
