WATCH your back.
William Broad's New York Times article yesterday HOW YOGA CAN WRECK YOUR BODY is an eye opener and something no one talks much about. There are too many injuries in yoga, which is why I advocate restorative yoga, and gentle yoga. There is too much ego in doing the posture correctly. Be the posture. Competition (in yoga) leads you nowhere.
This is the one and only body I am going to have, and besides, the physical part is only one part of yoga and was designed to relax the body in order to sit in meditation.
Thank you William Broad and the New York Times.

ReplyDeleteYou are likely going to need some yoga mats, regardless of what kind of yoga it is that you are planning on doing. Mats are generally made of foam rubber and offer a slender layer of protection between your elbows, knees, hips (and any other body part) and the floor.
