Well, the answer is Yes AND No. Let’s look at why the need for this distinction has arisen and its applications and implications. Ultimately this distinction between Yoga Therapy and a Yoga Class is making sure that we practice the Yamas and Niyamas, in particular Ahimsa (not harming others) and Satya … [Read more...]

Is It Good to Go Deeper in a Yoga Pose?

January 11, 2018 by Lucinda Staniland 1 Comment

by Lucinda Staniland For all the years I’ve been practicing yoga, I’ve always strived to ‘go deeper’ into the poses. In fact, I thought this was the point of asana. In the name of depth, I’ve pursued an ‘open heart’, and ‘release’ in the hips.

I’ve stretched my hands to my toes in standing forward bends, sunk deep … [Read more...]
