Music during Yoga Class: Threat or Opportunity?

November 30, 2016

In all honestly up until few years ago I did not realise playing music in yoga classes was something that a) happens and b) is a preference for some. Now, I don’t mind either way. I sometimes practise at home with music on the background, and I have been to great yoga classes accompanied with well thought through music (think drum’n’base during a strong Jivamukti class at 7…

About Yoga Mats

November 18, 2016

To practise yoga, you really do not need anything else but the willingness to be present in the now and the yoga mat as we know it is a rather new Western invention. However it can bring a new aspect to the practise by creating a space for your meditation and adding cushioning and stability for the asana. These days there is a wide range of mats available,…

Yoga Tourist in London / Joogaturismia Lontoossa

October 12, 2016

I’ve been spending the last few days in London, making the most of the yoga classes the City has to offer. My goal was to try different classes and get inspiration from different teachers. Olen viettänyt pari viimeistä päivää Lontoossa. Muiden asioiden hoitamisen lisäksi suunnitelmani on ollut käydä erilaisilla joogatunneilla ja inspiroitua erilaisita opettajista ja heidän tyyleistään. A friend and a fellow yoga teacher in Cyprus recommended TriYoga…

Lisää lukemista joogan terveysvaikutuksista

October 5, 2016

Ystäväni kysyi minulta lisää linkkejä artikkeleihin jossa keskustellaan joogan hyödyistä, sekä niistä päänsisäisitä että fyysisitä. Kokosin eilen kasan englanninkielisiä linkkejä postaukseen. En suoraan sanoen uskonut löytäväni kovinkaan paljon suomenkielistä materiaalia jota en olisi jo käynyt lävitse mutta löytyihän niitä. Löytyi tosin paljon muutakin hämärää joogaan liittyvää mutta keskitytään nyt näihin tieteellisempiin linkkeihin. Liinanblogissa on pari hyvää kirjoitusta joogan ja terveyden yhteyksistä, joissa kummassakin on lopussa viitteet lähdeaineistoon. Jutut…

So what can yoga do for me?

September 29, 2016

Last week I wrote a piece about what yoga is (or can be.) I promised a follow up post on the benefits as well so here we go.

Before anything we have to do a…

Few words about… Yoga Injuries

September 19, 2016

When New York Times in January 2012 published an extract of William J. Broad’s upcoming book, titleing it ”How Yoga Can Wreck Your Body” it caused a big stir in the US. Although yoga injuries have always been around, until then they had remained unknown for the wider public yoga who associated practising yoga as something that heals and cures, not the opposite. The yoga community wrote several…

Yoga books I like

September 12, 2016

I had a chat about yoga books with a friend yesterday and this old post of mine came to mindf. As nothing has changed since I first published this text, here you go again: some of my favourite yoga books. Yoga books are nothing new. The first systematic presentation of yoga in a written form, the Yoga Sutras by Patjanhali is said to dated circa 400 CE (I…
