Yoga Instructor

I am starting to practice yoga at home. What is the best way to incorporate different yoga poses. I have just started out with the sun salutations A and B. It seems most videos do the same poses and I want to expand my knowledge about poses. THX

There are a lot of great yogi's you can follow that I can think of, but I recommend checking out Kino McGregor on YouTube. She does little tutorials on pretty much every posture. She also has classes on CodyApp, which was the second thing I was going to recommend. It's available in the App store, and you can deepen your practice through that. There are many good teachers on that App. I also recommend checking out my friend Talia Peretz (she also goes by Talia Sutra on Instagram).

That last question was supossed to be how do you put more weight on your hand instead of your feet on downward facing dog.

It sounds like maybe your hands and feet are too close together. If you are practicing on a yoga mat (depending on your height), you want to have your hands closer to the top of the mat and your feet closer to the back of your mat. Feet need to be hips width distance, and hands need to be spread wide at shoulder width distance.

here is a great video

I have rheumatoid arthritis and the joint affected is my hips so I do yoga poses that concentrate on hip but doing the same yoga poses daily is making me tired like I am not able to do it anymore what should I do and what is your opinion

Asked by Prateek almost 7 years ago

I would recommend not doing hip opening postures everyday. It's better to change up the sequence of poses each day, so that some days you are more focused on strengthening the hips. There needs to be a balance of stretching and strengthening.

Can I teach yoga kids just using videos?I dont have proper training yet but I love yoga and wanted to include in my class.

Asked by Maricel almost 7 years ago

I would be careful with that because you don't have the proper training yet. I used to teach yoga to a 1st grade class in Manhattan, and the kids loved it. There are lots of teachers who will come to your classroom once a week and teach the students yoga for a reasonable fee. The school paid me for my time and the kids benefited greatly from the yoga.

What type of yoga is best for debulkung muscle and become slimmer overall? Also, what type will give me an elongated stomach/body? (Like slim body)
PS: my goal is a body like Sophia Miacova or Odette Hughes. What type of yoga will help me reach that?

Asked by JustLove about 7 years ago

I would recommend Bikram Yoga for that.

Im a beginner and I got hurt on my head(straight on brain part) while doing headstand, the impact was powerful. there wont be any internal injury right?! Im having a little bit of headache like my head got heavier than before, what should i do?!

Tejal,

You should go to the Dr. and have it checked out immediately. Don't do anymore headstands until you get it checked out.
