Running & Ashtanga

feeds@yuku.com (leapintolotus) — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 13:59:37 GMT

I noticed in the Stamina thread that one or two people mentioned that they run as part of their fitness routine... I just recently took up running for a charity event and am keen to continue it alongside my other activities but I'm a little worried about the effect on my muscles - I know runners generally have quite tight hamstrings, for instance, but if I was continuing my yoga alongside regular running, that surely shouldn't affect my practice? I'm worried that running regularly...

Need advice on teacher

feeds@yuku.com (asubmani) — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 12:36:22 GMT

I met Guruji and Saraswathi in Feb 2008. Guruji even offered me a cup of Coffee. I am an Indian and this is what I was told: (She interjected Guruji IMHO)

She metioned that seperate classes are held for Indians and seperate for foreigners. (Evening for Indian's and morning batches for Foreigners)

Since I am quitting my work to seriously pursue Yoga (I am also undergoing a 6 week certificate course from Kaivalyadham) I wanted the opinion of seasoned visitors to Mysore....

Practice after caesarean section

feeds@yuku.com (lastlostmonkey) — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 03:36:38 GMT

Hi. Bit of a specialised question, but has anyone resumed practice after a caesarean section? I'm about to have a baby and it might have to be by c-section (baby's breech at the moment and may not turn). Among my (many) worries about the section is whether I'll be able to resume a normal astanga practice again. I was doing primary up to November, but have been doing more breathing etc. since then, rather than full asana practice. I hoped to resume about three months after the...

Headaches!

feeds@yuku.com (Javaspeak) — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 15:49:41 GMT

Okay, I know this sounds crazy--but does anyone else get intense headaches after they practice? Seems to happen to me pretty consistently. I've tried buckets of water--Gatorade--nothing seems to make them go away after I get them (I've experimented with all kinds of OTC stuff--Tylenol, Ibuprofen, etc..)

Is it just me or does anyone else suffer from this?

AYRI Jan/Feb 2009

feeds@yuku.com (rocketgirl) — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 11:29:58 GMT

I'm planning on going to Mysore for the first time in early 2009, does anyone know if the institute will be open during this time? How likely is it that the shala will be over-booked? I'm worried I'm going to spend all this money on a plane ticket and then not be able to practice. Any info. is greatly appreciated!

Ankle pain in Marichiasana

feeds@yuku.com (yogithomas) — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 02:59:32 GMT

Hey Guys, I'm hoping someone could give me some advice with an injury/pain I've acquired recently…

About three weeks ago I introduced Marichiasana B and D to my practice. I'd been unable to do them before because my hips were too restricted. When I first started B felt really satisfying and relatively easy - I...

Heel pain

feeds@yuku.com (bjs435) — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 02:25:35 GMT

I have been practicing Ashtanga on my own every morning for about four months. I've been using David Swenson's Short Forms DVD. I feel confident in what I'm doing and am careful not to overexert myself. About a week ago I started experiencing pain in my right heel during the downward dog. I am assuming this is a symptom of a pinched nerve--though someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I have had lower back problems in the past, which is why I started yoga in the first...

Turned Around In Savasana

feeds@yuku.com (Ronin) — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 11:34:22 GMT

i appologize if this has been addressed already. i take savasana with feet at the 'front' of the mat, but i occassionally see people take savasana with head at the front. i asked the one person i know who does this, if there is a reason and she was unable to tell me. anybody know if there is a 'proper method' in terms of which way you take rest?

Sharath to take a couple of years off

feeds@yuku.com (YogaVane) — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 06:40:30 GMT

So, according to my friend who heard it from a friend who is/was in Mysore, Sharath recently announced that he intends to take a couple of years off (from the end of 2009?) to concentrate in his own practice.

Can anyone that is/was in Mysore confirm? If this was an announcement, surely it's not a secret. Come on, people, let's all share the knowledge and help others who might be planning their future trips. It's nice to have friends who heard, or teachers who know, but...
