Benefits of Yoga for Arthritis
Yoga Can Ease Arthritis Pain
Yoga can relieve arthritis pain by creating more mobility in the joints and increasing flexibility while stretching and strengthening the muscles around the joints. Yoga may also help to prevent or minimize the erosion of cartilage that causes joint pain and swelling in arthrits. I have a number of yoga students with varying degrees of arthritis, and they've all experienced that their joints are more mobile and hurt less when they take yoga classes regularly. They also feel better overall. ...

The Story of the Yoga Warrior Poses
Virabhadrasana -- Yoga Warrior Pose
Those of you who have practiced yoga poses for any length of time are probably familiar with the Yoga Warrior Poses. Virabhadrasana is the Sanskrit name for Warrior Pose. These beautiful but vigorous poses are named after the great hero warrior Virabhadra from Hindu mythology. The Warrior Poses take strength, steadiness, and a fierce determination to hold them with integrity. The legs and arms need to be strong and extended (where the legs are straight), the hips flexible, the chest open an...

Yoga Videos That Inspire Me
There are thousands of yoga videos online, on YouTube and other websites. Some are inspiring, some are funny, many are not particularly well-done and some are just plain weird. Here are a few of my favorite yoga videos, mostly YouTube yoga videos, but a couple from other sites. They've all impressed me or inspired me in some way. I'm an Iyengar Yoga teacher and student, so most of these videos are related to Iyengar Yoga. Some people comment that yoga demonstrations are really anti-yoga -- ...

Matthew Sanford - Paraplegic Yoga Teacher
Matthew Sanford - Yoga Teacher, Speaker, Author

At the age of 13, Matthew Sanford was in a devastating car accident that killed his father and sister, and left him paralyzed from the chest down. When he was 25, he was introduced to yoga. Yoga can't cure his paralysis, but by learning to more fully experience his mind-body connections through his study and practice of yoga, he has been able to learn to "live in his who...

The Importance of a Yoga Home Practice
Practice Yoga at Home Between Classes!
As a yoga teacher, I urge my students to practice yoga at home, between their classes. Many of them have already felt the health benefits of yoga on their physical and mental well-being from attending their weekly class. This is great, of course, but the practice of yoga between classes increases these health benefits. A yoga home practice enhances all the other aspects of our lives on the physical, mental, and spiritual levels. But....it's very difficult for many people to get into the hab...

Yoga and Common Mistakes of Leading Yoga Teachers
Yoga and Chronic Diseases
Modern yoga is very distinctive from the earliest yoga used for centuries and even from yoga that had been used some 50-70 years ago. For example, anyone can validate that during the past yoga mentors could efficiently teach the right way to deal with diseases. There were actually yoga ads in the 1920's declaring that their yoga lessons could cure significant diseases, like cardiovascular illnesses in addition to bronchial asthma. How could possibly they reach that? Why could modern tutors of...
