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

109 replies

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? Smile

I'd like to throw my support behind a yoga topic too. I have just started attending regular classes (have done Pilates before, and yoga at home) but would love to chat with like minded people and ask all the questions I'm too embarrassed to ask in class!

Meeeeeee!

Trying to get my arse in gear -I'm a lazy sod and you could all guilt me into action--

StillaChocoholic · 12/06/2015 14:15

I've been contemplating when would be a good time to come and ask Grin
Hopefully it will be here soon Smile

HellonHeels · 11/06/2015 17:44

Yes I was wondering about the yoga topic too Smile

MargoReadbetter · 11/06/2015 16:56

I have just done a search for this again, thinking I might have missed the announcement.

Without meaning to be pushy (well, maybe a little Grin), is there any news on when our topic might come online?

MrsHarveySpecter · 31/05/2015 22:09

Great news and sorry to took me a while to get around to finding this thread to add support.

I'm a bikram fan but looking forward to learning about other disciplines.

Namaste

Late to the party, as usual, but I second (actually, "fiftieth" is probably more accurate) the request for a yoga topic.

I do Bikram, vinyasa flow, power flow, yin... and I think a topic just for Yoga, separate from Pilates, Tai Chi etc, would be really good. Yes, they all fall in the same sort of category, but they don't have enough in common to all be lumped together. Yoga is so diverse that it really deserves its own topic.

Thank you for the PM, CoteDAzur.

I haven't done any Kundalini (living in a small town)- what is it about?

chickensaresafehere · 27/05/2015 13:38

Kundalini's my favourite,anyone else??
Ps sorry I'm a bit late to this!

Ubik1 · 23/05/2015 22:25

My first session involved teacher helping me to do a headstand - it was amazing!

In a year it will be my party trick.

I stopped Bikram because the heat was making me feel quite unwell - vinyasa is great as still challenging, dynamic but also very relaxing.

I love it

ubik - I do vinyasa flow, too. I started out unable to touch my toes and with a knee cap out of place, with mild cartilage damage (I had had cortisone & hyaluronic acid injections into the knee some months before). Less than a year later, I'm acing the trigasana and can do a headstand.

DC are seriously impressed Grin

Yes we can trial this, no problem - with usual proviso that we'll need to have a cull at some point on usability grounds - and the least used will be most likely to go - so bear that in mind.

We'll confirm topic name and get it up asap.

TalkinPeace · 22/05/2015 20:56

Hi Becca
THank you for the input.
Yoga / holistic is something that has been dispersed through MN
but as many of us get older
and more people want to stay healthy for a long term
then the holistic forms of exercise will become more and more popular

MN can get brownie points for encouraging such :-)

kateclarke · 22/05/2015 18:14

I would like a yoga etc topic too

BeccaMumsnet · 22/05/2015 16:00

Hi everyone. Thanks for posting. We'll take all of your comments into consideration and have a think.

chickydoo · 22/05/2015 15:53

Hi
Sorry cote didn't respond to your pm
I've been teaching yoga for donkeys years ( at least 15)
Run courses, workshops etc
Will (hopefully be running TT courses soon)
Glad to chat on MN about yoga, share ideas, & answer questions.
There are lots of yoga forums theses days, & several good FB groups for yoga related chat, but happy to join in here from time to time.

Please Mumsnet can we have a yoga/ pilates topic. I have been doing yoga now for several years and have found it has helped my physical as well as my mental wellbeing.

EthelCardew · 22/05/2015 14:50

I vote for this too!
