A topic for YOGA - Would anyone here be interested?

I want to ask MN to create a topic for yoga. Would you be interested to share ideas, tips, and achievements in our practice on a Yoga topic?

I do Forrest and Yin yoga and it would be great to be able to talk about both here.

Lammy7 · 22/05/2015 08:11

Yes! Great idea Cote and I am very interested.

I am very interested in a Yoga Topic thanks.

I have been going to classes for many years, and appreciate teachers who are technically skilled and who do adaptations for people like me with a dodgy knee.

Yoga has been a lifesaver to me, as it de stresses and makes me appreciate being in the here and now.

Fave postures - downward facing dog, triangle, tree (with branches, as long as I'm not wobbly and make an idiot out of myself)

Least fave posture - camel week it's the kneeling I can't do!

I do a Thurs class and a Sat morning hour in our village hall.

a memorable session last year was a 1 hour outdoor class at Champneys. It was lovely being barefoot on the grass hearing the birds tweeting while we did our practice!

Namaste.

... from newcomers to this thread and the one on Site Stuff.

Please remember to post your support on the Site Stuff thread where we are asking MNHQ to create a Yoga, Pilates & Tai Chi topic.

Me too

ladydepp · 21/05/2015 23:01

Me too please, I love yoga and Pilates and the latter has been the saviour of my dodgy back....

JoylessFucker · 21/05/2015 21:30

Going to add my hearty YES PLEASE in both places. More a pilates gal than yoga, but really need to get back into the regular practice and would be great to have an MN boost.

Thanks for writing this not only here but also on the Site Stuff thread, Trills.

As I replied there:

We would like a place where we can pool our resources and experience, have multiple threads about different kids of yoga (hatha, vinyasa, ashtanga, bikram, iyengar, kundalini, yin yoga, etc) as well as pilates and tai chi. Where we can talk about our physical challenges and ask for advice. Where we can post photos of our progression and encourage each other to do better.

A community, in other words.

There are enough topics already and no bugger uses them, so everything ends up in AIBU.

If there are this many people who want to talk about Yoga then the Sports topic would be a perfectly good place to go, and it's not so busy that yoga-related threads would get lots.

  1. I think the more use the mat gets the less slippy it is. Practice and all is coming :-)
Bexicles · 21/05/2015 19:35

31, brilliant idea.

Karbea · 21/05/2015 19:34

Oh yes this is an excellent idea!

We are now 30 MNers who are enthusiastic about a topic dedicated to Yoga, Pilates, etc Smile

Would the newcomers please take a minute to come to the thread on Site Stuff where we are asking MNHQ to create a topic for us? It would be great if you could write a short post of support, to show that there are many of us interested in a Yoga topic?

OP posts:
antimatter · 21/05/2015 18:35

Definitely!

3dogsandaboy · 21/05/2015 18:10

Thats a good idea talkin

3dogsandaboy · 21/05/2015 18:09

Yes I would. Very new but very keen! :)

TalkinPeace · 21/05/2015 18:09

"Holistic exercise" possibly?

as then it would include yoga, pilates, tai chi and edge into bodybalance

so basically all of the forms of exercise that have a significant mental aspect to them?

MrsSquirrel · 21/05/2015 18:01

Yes please, I'll join Smile
