Parivrttaikapada Sirsasana and the Core of Self, Part One of Two

October 13, 2010 by Sean Rogders

Parivrttaikapada Sirsasana and the Core of Self, Part One of Two

Time and time again, Yoga emphasizes the value and importance of realizing who we really are as opposed to who we think we are.  A pose that can help focus and reveal our true nature is Parivrttaikapada Sirsasana, or Twisted Split-Legged Headstand… (The Tao of Sean) As I sat performing a wonderful out loud chanting […]

Surya Namaskara – A gift for you

Surya Namaskara – A gift for you

Believe it or not, it was a little difficult coming up with a satisfactory way to start this article.  I’ve wanted to do this piece ever since Charlotte (this beautiful website’s creator) was kind enough to send me her 108 Yoga Pose Drawings as a gift some time ago.  In looking for that perfect article […]

To do Yoga…the search for food.

September 3, 2010 by Sean Rogders

To do Yoga…the search for food.

Doing Yoga of any kind is beneficial.  Is there any one type of Yoga that can claim to be superior to all others?  I believe there answer to this is no.  Think of Yoga as food – for the body, mind and spirit.  We each like different food…we each have different reactions to various foods […]

Garbha Pindasana – Womb or Embryo Pose

August 12, 2010 by Sean Rogders

I had no plans to move off topic today, until I happened to overhear one of the men who live in the same rooming house I occupy talking with his son. I should explain a bit here first – I chose after the experiences of my forty day retreat from the world to dedicate my […]

Laughter Yoga

Laughter Yoga

After a very rough week with multiple tooth extractions, a root canal, and numerous emotional issues that arose from nowhere, I found myself in need of something to pick my spirits up.  My physical activity has been down; no mountain hikes, no long bike rides…sadly even walking jars my mouth too much. Am I whining…?  […]

Vrksasana…or Tree Pose

July 4, 2010 by Sean Rogders

Vrksasana…or Tree Pose

The first Yogis looked at the world around them and understood the natural, effortless way in which everything in nature moved and accomplished the fulfillment of its purpose. This realization led to the development of Yoga and its many obvious benefits. It is easy when trying to balance for long periods, or attempting a new […]

Finding Grace in King Dancer Pose

April 26, 2010 by Charlotte Bradley

Finding Grace in King Dancer Pose

Natarajasana (pronounced not-ah-raj-AHS-anna) is Lord of the Dance Pose or King Dancer Pose. Nata means actor, dance or mime and raja means king. Dancer pose is a balance posture that also requires both strength and flexibility – there is a lot going on at once! I really love this posture. On days when I get […]

Letting Go with Janu Sirsasana

December 4, 2009 by Charlotte Bradley

Letting Go with Janu Sirsasana

Letting go is not easy. In most of our daily activities we are doing just the opposite. We are working towards a goal. We are trying to strengthen. We are always pushing. In Janu Sirsasana (Head to Knee Forward Bend), we practice letting go. By lengthening the exhalation we can learn to relax during the […]

Head to Knee Sequence with a Twist

Forward folds are quite calming. They turn your focus inwards. Add a bit of twisting to compress then release the flow of energy and you have a great little combination. Here is a short head to knee sequence. You can do it as part of your regular yoga routine or on its own to relax […]
