Why Bikram Isn’t the Only Heir To The Ghosh Lineage

Yoga Cure Institute

By Tom Sutherland, Traveling Yogaman I left my small, humid, rotting Calcutta hotel room at 6:00am and set out on a mission to find the historical center of yoga therapy established by the late Yoga guru Buddha Lall Bose in 1937, the Yoga Cure Institute. Publicly, little is known about the Yoga Cure Institute. However, my teacher, Tony Sanchez, and his wife, Sandy, recommended that I visit Buddha Bose’s yoga school during my three-month yoga study tour of India. Although I planned to spend … [Read more...]

How I Practiced Hot Yoga for 100 Days Straight

October 18, 2013 by Guest Author 2 Comments

Anthony Light - Completed 100 yoga classes in a row at Flow Hot Yoga in Christchurch

by Anthony Light Editor's Note: Anthony recently completed 100 days of yoga classes at Flow Hot Yoga in Christchurch.  Downward dog can actually become a resting posture. Sound a little exaggerated? Well it can sound that way on days where I am feeling tight or tired. But for most of the time I’m now content hanging out in Downward Dog and observing how my body and mind adjust to the posture. If you had said that to me before a few months ago, I would have laughed with a small … [Read more...]

The end of the 40 Day Hot Yoga challenge… the beginning of a new me

March 17, 2012 by Guest Author 1 Comment

by guest author & freelance writer Hazel Slade There is no real way to describe how amazing it feels to successfully complete a 40-day Hot Yoga challenge... But I will try to put it into words. As I bowed my head and thanked myself, my classmates and my teacher at the end of my final class on the final day of this immense six week challenge, I felt both hugely happy and super sad. It is pretty obvious why I felt happy. I had made it to the end, proudly stuck up all my 30 stickers … [Read more...]

Hazel’s 40-Day Hot Yoga Challenge: She’s counting down

March 2, 2012 by Guest Author 2 Comments

by guest author & freelance writer Hazel Slade As I head into my last week of the 40-day Hot Yoga challenge, I have to start by telling you about something I overheard. While waiting to head into a class I was listening to a woman telling one of the teachers (or guides if you prefer) how she had already finished her challenge... ages ago. And, as if I wasn’t wowza-ed enough by that statement, she then went on to say how she was still going strong and using her stickers to finish … [Read more...]

February 18, 2012 by Guest Author Leave a Comment

Hot Yoga Teacher Lou gives student Hazel an adjustment

 by guest author & freelance writer Hazel Slade “Hazel... Are you mad?” This was the reaction of one of my friends when I told her I was entering into a 40 day Hot Yoga challenge. And, I have to admit, over the past 10 days I have often asked myself that very same question. At the beginning of last week, just days into the challenge, it would have been an unequivocal yes.
