  • Im interested in the book fo shizzle

  • Coming from the Pilates community, this video and part 2 are BRILLIANT! Thank you for pointing out the difference between asana practice and yoga practice, just as we have the difference between Pilates as "just exercise" (where everyone does the same exercises in a group) vs. a method that is built around an individual's capabilities and needs. The Guitar Hero analogy summed it up... who's going to tell the truth when the industries need their respective businesses to boom? Cheers!

  • excellent video.

  • Yoga improves body functioning therefore you wont need drugs, that hurts their industry, that's why they find the apropiate words in their stupid scientist vocabulary to destroy what is good for the human body without doctors.

  • @LMPLibn how does one become a "bodyworker"? im genuinely curious. thank you :)

  • As a bodyworker, I sometimes see clients who have injured themselves while "doing" yoga. This is due to 2 main reasons 1) pushing themselves to achieve (either against themselves or another) - sometimes your body will not go there that day (or ever, for some bodies) or 2) lack of training wherein they enter, exit, or hold the pose incorrectly (in a way that can injure). No exercise is harm-free if done mindlessly or without proper training, warm-up or equipment (where equipment is needed).

  • yoga anatomy is topseller now

  • Perhaps the article should have been named "how you can wreck your body with asana practice." Of course you can. I hurt myself quite a bit with ambitious practice. People do it all the time. Those injuries were valuable lessons in attention. Yoga is dangerous when people follow authority blindly and that happen a lot in the yoga community.

  • fantastic response

  • Thank you for posting this Leslie!
