A Sun Salutation is a series of poses performed in a graceful flow and linked by breath—a method called vinyasa. It’s a great way to greet the sun any time of the day.
Episode #1 | Parivritta Trikonasana
The revolving version of the triangle is designed to lengthen the spine, spiraling energy and motion from the scarum to the crown of the head.
How To Do the Scorpion Pose
The Scorpion Pose is a favorite of Cirque de Soleil performers and contortionists of all stripes, which is to say it’s a very advanced position not for the faint of heart—or weak of back
How To Do the Bridge Pose
Worried that something called the “bridge pose” will leave parts of you trussed up, arched over, and suspended in midair? Well, yes it will—but eventually you’ll love every second of it.
How To Do the Hero Pose
The Hero Pose looks simple enough—and is a common position for seated meditation—but don’t be fooled: The stretch it requires of your knees is, well, nothing short of heroic.
Just when I was bemoaning the lack of good adjustments in my recent yoga classes, here comes more bad news for adjustment lovers. Check out Elephant Journal's story about a student suing a venerable Colorado yoga studio for a bad adjustment that he claims

I finally got the chance to see Enlighten Up!, the yoga documentary I first told you about last spring. The DVD will be released November 10, so read my review to see if you'll want to add it to your collection.

Calling out my best-loved yoga poses sometimes feels like playing favorites with my kids (I love them all equally! I do!), but I'm going to step up and admit that I prefer forearm stand above all other inversions. A little more than a headstand, a little

Our new Show and Tell feature allows you to submit your own photos for publication on this site. How cool is that? Since there has been so much good feedback on sharing home practice tips, I thought it would be great to see your home practice spaces and h

My abiding interest in yoga pants is well documented, but I can't seem to get as excited about yoga tops. They all seem too strappy, too skimpy, and not supportive enough. I don't like spaghetti straps, racers backs, or uniboobs. Am I missing something he

I've never heard karnapidasana called spider pose, but according to the all-knowing internet, it is (trick? or treat?), so we'll go with that since Halloween is this week. Try it as part of this invigorating sequence of inversions.

If you've been waiting for the perfect time to get your own yoga mat, that time has arrived, my friends. Forget shared sweat, forget foot fungus, if you are using a communal mat, you are unnecessarily exposing yourself to others' germs, which this season

Seems like lots of yoga stories in the media feature a former lawyer/international banker/business executive who has traded a soulless life in the fast lane for a more fulfilling career as a yoga teacher. I even reviewed a book with that theme (The Yoga T

I just updated my round up of yoga apps to include this new game. As the Yoga Teacher, your job is to correct the alignment of the yogini on the screen. It's fun to test your asana knowledge, but the controls are a little clunky, and with only 10 poses in

If I had to pick a desert island yoga pose, I'd have to go with cat - cow stretch. Ok, it's two poses, but let's not get too technical. This nice, simple rolling and unrolling of the spine would pleasantly pass the time while waiting to be rescued and he

I've recently noticed that I've picked up a bad habit: putting more weight in the outside of my foot than the inside when I'm standing. I think it's something I...
