This Week in Yoga: This Revolution Has Just Begun

in This Week in Yoga, YD News

Hey-o! Who brought all the dudes to the party? Yes, we have dubbed this as Impromptu Dude Yoga Week, let’s hear it for the boys! And what’s balance in yoga, and/or life, without a little sun and moon, a little yang to the yin, anima, animus rajas-tamas-sattvic-alidocious. Perhaps that commenter was right, the times they are a changin’. But it’s not going to start with the same old rigmarole, while we sit around waiting for someone else to make the change. No, it’s got to start with us, all of us, to BE the change we wish to see.  Yep, nobody said it was easy, but this revolution has just begun. *fist bump* Egypt.

“Rather than letting our negativity get the better of us, we could acknowledge that right now we feel like a piece of shit and not be squeamish about taking a good look.”
— Pema Chödrön (When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times)

A must read from intrepid yogi blogger Nancy (yoga_mydrishti): #365yoga: Day43 Fight the Power

Breakti blogs truth: “…and i say, in turn, that yoga is also not the pose on the cover of yoga journal.  it is not a singular sequence, a line of beauty, a peak of physical prowess.  we are not just here in our hot sneakers, our tight yoga pants.” [read more]

It’s true! Yogis have sex, and live to tell about it. Read more via Well+Good.

  • Namaste Everyone

    I travelled length of india and practised yoga under “Baba Ramdev”
    Having suffered from depression, yoga and pranayam was the only solution I found till date and my exile from side effects of medicines.

    My one suggestion to people suffering from depression,anxiety, low self esteem, no drive and chronic everyday ailments, please switch to yoga today and get that pleasure which i derive from its practice everyday.

    I would recommend the step by step guide which i purchased recently at http://www.askskt.com as one starter which will propel you into the practice pretty easily and with dedication. They are also rate by recommend people so i trusted and bought this guide.
