If so, what kind? I'd like to work my way up to Kundalini Yoga.

I just started last night and my legs are a little sore, but I feel great! I'm doing theYoga Conditioning for Weight Loss dvd. It's awesome. It was shot in Sedona, Arizona so there are beautiful red rocks in the background. With the dvd you can choose 4 levels of modification, so that's pretty neato. I have NO flexibility, lol.

I did yoga in my German class, junior year of high school. My favorite position? Die Leiche (the corpse)... it meant we could lay down and close our eyes for a few minutes and catch up on our zzzs...

Sounds like a real rigorous language program you got there.

i used to do vinyasa yoga kind of regularly...especially when i first moved to chicago. i haven't for a while now but i need to get back into the swing (or strectch) of things. it feels so good when you're done, kinda like being high but a natural euphoria. good luck on it and maybe you've inspired me to get my act together again!

I do feel kinda funny today.

I've been doing Beckram yoga every couple of weeks.

It's in a room that's 120 degrees and in addition to the stretching you are battling your mind because of the heat.

It always makes me feel amazing.

If you can, go check out Golden Bridge Yoga in L.A. You can take a Saturday morning Kundalini class with Gurmukh. She kind of the Godmother of Kundalini in its current practice. I liked all of the classes I did there. And they're suitable for beginners -- I had about 2 months experience with Iyengar when I went to Golden Bridge.

Ooh, one of my favorite topics.....

I've been doing yoga for 5 years now, and once I started I was hooked. I kick myself for not getting into it 10 years ago (being a dancer, it's changed my life/body/mind). I do mostly Iyengar yoga, and don't do classes anymore, mostly because my first yoga teacher moved to Sweden, and my second moved to Switzerland last year. So, I always do it by myself at home because after five years I have enough knowledge of asanas and meditation methods to basically work on it myself. Although I'll take a class here and there when I'm in the U.S. (I can't find any good classes here in Holland at the moment) because I love getting corrections and it's always nice to have an outside eye. One day I'd like to teach it as well.

Stick with it, because you can do it your whole life and always improve. Plus, it centers you whole body and mind, prevents injury and sickness, and gives you energy.

No, you misunderstand me...I just meant that everyone who comes in contact with you seems to leave the country in a hurry...

Oh wait...you did understand.

2the9s said:

Come here 9s.....no, a little closer. Yeah, I have something for you.....

minneapolisgenius said:

9's, quit jackin ma thread!





Ok everyone, Mountain Pose...

Namaste.

VinaBlue said:

See how centered and calm yoga has made me?

minneapolisgenius said:

Coooool. I feel really funky today. I can tell it made a difference already! I've noticed a difference in my breathing and even just the way I walk. I tried another yoga video last year and it was tooo strenuous for me that I got sick the next day. I wasn't ready for those toxins to flush out.

I took some dance in college (jazz, modern, ballet and African) so I could totally understand proper alignment. Having an outside eye would be great, I used to love that about my Modern dance teacher. She was really good at checking your body and making sure you were moving the right way. I got a little worried when I was doing one of the poses and watching the tv screen then she says "never turn your head during this pose"... OOPS!

I practiced Hatha Yoga for a few years.. I just haven't had the time, nor the desire.. Which for me is not good.

Kundalini is so good for breathing...

I used to take a yoga class with my mother when i was in high school. i don't know what kind of yoga it was but our teacher was excellent.

Right now i'm taking yoga from a friend fo mine who teaches a class. I love it, i feel so great afterwards.

My uncle is actually a qualified teacher of yoga and spends about 80% of his time in his room doin yoga! Since i was young i've been able to naturally sit with my legs crossing over with my knees touching..one day he saw me do this n he flipped!! Apparantly this is what people do yoga to achieve...but ya need flexible hips for it!!!
