Hi Erich-

I have a question. I teach a class called "Family Fun Yoga," it IS extremely fun by the way. Yesterday a beautiful girl about 11 years old, after class asked me to show her some "really hard poses" so she could...

Thanksgiving

feeds@yuku.com (wideawakesurfer) — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:42:26 GMT

I just wanted to share with all of you something I experienced today. The owner of the company that I work for gives out turkeys to his employees every year for Thanksgiving. Today was the day that all the turkeys were delivered. I already have plans for Thanksgiving, so I did not need the turkey. I knew that there are people out there that are in dire need of a turkey especially in these economic times. So I posted an ad on craigslist for a free turkey, stating that this is for someone that...

The great Hot Yoga Debate.

feeds@yuku.com (Lex87) — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:45:04 GMT

Does anyone have any thoughts or opinions about Bikrams Hot Yoga ? I've heard both good and bad things about it. I have a few friends who have tried it; one loved it, the other said the studio smelled like feet. I know you have to buy a special bikram yoga mat that soaks up the copious amounts of sweat that come out of you; is there any other cost or props (other than classes...

enjoy life

feeds@yuku.com (wideawakesurfer) — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 18:03:18 GMT

These days I am enjoying life. I wake up in the morning usually around 500 am with a prayer. Then I move into a thirty minute vinyasa flow and a five minute meditation.I enjoy doing yoga first thing in the morning because I feel that it sets the pace for the rest of the day. I like to take a couple of minutes to be still outside first thing in the morning to hear all the sounds of nature at the most quiet time of the day. I usually stand outside, drink a cup of tea, breath deeply, listen to...

HIMALAYAN ECHO PROJECT

feeds@yuku.com (Max) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:47:15 GMT

Greetings to you all !

I am new to this board , joined because I like the vibe and Erich looks like someone I would like to meet.
Spent a long time in India, I play sitar and build crazy instruments. Wrote a few words in the intro section.

If you like the sitar then maybe you want to check out my website :

At the moment it's mostly about a sitar with natural echo...

Greetings from a completely non pc ex yoga practicioner...

Hello everyone,

came across this board by accident, looks like such a nice warm place with genuine people, why not join ?
About me...well, I am a heretic. I question everything and everybody, especially Indian gurus and Tibetan lamas of all shapes and sizes.
Nobody is safe from my acerbic criticism and I don't believe in miracles. Until the next miracle happens. Then I turn into a believer for 5 min. Or the taxi driver ferrying me around the backstreets of Calcutta...

Elevated Potassium

feeds@yuku.com (georgiagail) — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 05:59:29 GMT

I am experiencing elevated potassium levels....sort of scary because it can be a "heart stopper"

I'm hoping for some ideas on natural ways I can work on lowering it myself.....Drs are involved but I want to keep that as min. as possible ...or...eliminate all together...

Hello Everyone:

Last year, after many years away, I returned to a regular practice in a class environment. I have been attending at least 4 times a week. I participate in "Easy Does it" & Basics classes. Having had a strenuous regular practice in the past I am familiar with what constitutes advance poses but can't get there these days which is why I opt for gentler classes. Throughout the year I've noticed that the teacher incorporates advance poses into what...

Pine Needle Tea

feeds@yuku.com (Speakfreely) — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 15:06:50 GMT

I'd heard about infusing pine needles to make tea a long time ago, and only recently tried it after a little research. Apparently any needled evergreen species will do, and each, reportedly, (I've only tried one so far) has a distinctive taste. The only poisonous evergreen is supposedly the yew. Even hemlock is ok; I learned that the hemlock evergreen is not what they used to kill Soccrates, but rather a deciduous plant by the same name.

Anyway, I picked a handful of white...

Balance for Seniors

feeds@yuku.com (catnutrition) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:26:30 GMT

Hi Yogis,

I just learned that my very first yoga student private - an amazing funny, sweet fellow now in his mid 80s - was hospitalized last night after a nasty fall in his bathroom. He's okay (a bunch of stitches in his chin and a bruised ego) and it may not have been a balance problem that caused him to topple so much as a drop in blood pressure. Even so, he's wanting to redouble his learning on safe ways to re-discover his balance, a skill he's feeling like he's...

Iyengar, Grief and Tantra

feeds@yuku.com (netineti) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 06:23:30 GMT

I was not sure where on the MIS website to post this but this seems as good a place as any.

I was recently reading Light On Life which is a book by Iyengar in which he talks about his life as a yogi, a teacher, and as a husband, and father.

I have considerable resepect for the man and am humbled by the depth of his dedication, influence, focus and heart. He has certainly been one of the most important human beings to bring yoga to the West and has influenced just about...

Body work

feeds@yuku.com (Sleeping Turtle) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:43:11 GMT

Hi all... hope you are well... I´m still in my long transition and getting some clarity on the future, which created this question:

Do people have experience with the different sorts of body work? I am going to do my pilates training and have, for a long time, wanted to learn some body or energy work modality. One strong possibility is shiatsu, and I am attracted to something like Rolfing (though i have never had it in its pure form)... some sort of fascia release work.

i started a new thread - but it's sounds like what carie is doing with yoga and writing. i'm taking a workshop next weekend with danna faulds - a poet/yogini. the workshop flyer says this: "Twenty years ago when Danna Faulds first experienced the free-writing techniques she will lead in this workshop, she was astonished by what came out of her pen. Instead of critical self-talk and judgment, she found an entirely different voice - one that ultimately led her to poetry and...
