Dear MNHQ - Can we have a Yoga topic, please?

109 replies

CoteDAzur · 21/05/2015 15:07

There are quite a few of us practitioners of yoga & pilates on MN and we would love to have a topic where we can exchange tips, discuss our challenges, and help each other improve our practice.

About 20 of us have already expressed enthusiasm about a Yoga topic on this thread today.

So.... please?

Oh there they are. Ignore me...

OneDayWhenIGrowUp · 02/07/2015 14:01

Oh! I had a bunch of smileys at the end of that post to make it sound more light hearted!!!

OneDayWhenIGrowUp · 02/07/2015 13:59

Have popped on to check in as well! Just got back from yoga class. Definitely need to find some lighter yoga trousers for this weather!! Wouldn't it be nice to have a MN yoga topic I could chat about that on

My Trikonasana is starting to wilt in this 30Deg heat, Dawn.
Did topic Yoda get we people lucky?

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 26/06/2015 12:00

I misread this as people asking for a Yoda topic.

A Yoga topic far more sense makes.

Minimammoth · 26/06/2015 11:34

Yes please count me in. Though I am a bit of a purist, and would say that yoga is very definitely NOT a sport.

Hi Cote, hi everyone,

Sorry for the delay!

Some of you may be aware that we're undergoing a major topics cull to clear away some of the dead wood and make room for the shiny new topics, Yoga being one of them.

Hopefully it'll all be done and dusted next week. Can you all hold your poses until then?

It's been a month since MNHQ said "Yes" to our topic. I'm wondering if they misunderstood us and are building this yoga area physically, with brick and mortar It would have actually taken less time to build a one-room yoga studio

It was a significant abite injury on my forearm so meant most yoga was out for a while. The doc couldn't give two hoots about what I did tbh!

My yoga teacher however was great at stopping me from overdoing it on that arm and giving me alternative poses if needed. I'm going to an 'easier' class than usual at the moment whilst I get back into things.

So where's this yoga topic then, hmm?

HellonHeels · 21/06/2015 23:11

Happy International Yoga Day everyone. I didn't practice today but helped my boyfriend work on his handstand

OneDay - What was your injury and what was the doctor's recommendation? I'm recovering from an injury, too.

OneDayWhenIGrowUp · 21/06/2015 07:45

Posting so I get an update when this comes to fruition (bump bump, MNHQ!)

I do hatha and vinyasa classes at a local studio, recently had a break due to injury. I'd like to do more daily practice at home as well.

PoorNeglectedBike · 19/06/2015 08:30

Ooo I'd like to too. I was dragged along to a class but I'm really loving it. I'm very fat and unfit and simply cannot hold my breath. I'd love to chat with others to see if I'm doing all I can to be able to one day do a headstand :)

deste · 17/06/2015 16:47

I would quite like a Yoga topic. I have done Hatha, Vinyasa and Yin.

victoria - Try 30 Days of Yoga with Adriene on YouTube. I heard a lot of good things about that program from newcomers to yoga. Good luck and see you soon on our yoga topic. (Soon, right? Come on MNHQ )

SlantyBaws · 16/06/2015 06:58

Another vote here for a yoga topic!

I have a three hour yin yoga workshop on Saturday... can't wait

Yoda topic

OP posts:

howtodrainyourflagon · 13/06/2015 15:31

damn. I opened this thread thinking it was a yoda topic. Wanted to post "enlightened and broad-minded mumsnet is." never mind.

MNHQ

IonaMumsnet · 13/06/2015 15:27

Hi folks. Sorry - these things do take a little while sometimes but sounds like it is in the pipeline and there are lots of you poised to post. We'll chase it along and post here as soon as there's news on this. Namaste!

MargoReadbetter · 13/06/2015 12:50

Until we get our topic. Has anyone read "The Lie" (.99 on kindle)? I'm about 70% through. Stuff happening at a retreat. Not a literary masterpiece by any means but enough of a page turner.
