Lower back pain is perhaps the single most commonly mentioned reason why people join yoga classes. There are several yoga poses that are recommended for taking care of lower back pain – for example, Marjarasana (cat & cow), Pawanamuktasana (wind-relieving pose), Balasana (child pose), all twisting poses etc. One of the poses that I […] Virabhadrasana (Warrior2) I am pleased to announce the next 21-day Yoga Immersion program. The past programs have been very well received by all the participants. For most of them, it has been truly a life-transforming experience. I invite you to join me on this exciting and deeply rewarding 21-day yoga journey. Here are […] Padmasana (Lotus Pose) As you may be aware, I have been offering the combined pranayama (breathing practices)/meditation intensives for some time now. Lately, based on discussions with some of my students, I have decided to offer the pranayama and meditation intensives separately. This will allow me to go deeper into each of the […] In a previous post, I described a few stretches to help release tension from the neck muscles. As we know, the neck and shoulders are closely tied together through the nervous system as nerves from the neck pass through the shoulders and down the arms. As such, stretches for the neck and shoulders are usually […] Pawana Muktasana Pawana-muktasana (PMA) – पवनमुक्तासन – is a simple set of asanas, easy to practice, and yet has many far-reaching benefits.

It is also a great stretch for bringing relief for lower back pain. I hope you will enjoy practicing with me using […] Vishnu Mudra As you may be aware, I have been offering the pranayama (breathing practices)/meditation intensives for some time now. Lately, some of my students have suggested that I offer the pranayama and meditation intensives separately. I am pleased to announce the next Pranayama intensive. In this program, we will be […] Agni Stambhasana (Firelog pose) If you haven’t tried the pose before and you look at a picture of the pose, the Agni-stambhasana may seem deceptively simple. However, if you have tightness in the hips, knees or the ankles, this pose can become quite challenging. The word agni-stambha (अग्नि-स्तम्भ) is a composite of two […] Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) An excellent backward bending pose, Bhujangasana –भुजङ्गासन – (Cobra Pose) is a beginner level asana which can either be done as part of the Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation) routine or as an independent asana. It provides a great stretch for the whole back. The word “bhujanga” in Sanskrit […] The sectional breathing techniques are used as a preparation for the full, deep yogic breathing practice called Ujjayi Pranayama.
