 | Yoga is full of specialized terminology, some of it in Sanskrit, some anatomical, and some philosophical. Ashtanga yoga in particular seems to come with a lot of new words. Here is some common Ashtanga vocabulary. | |
Shala
Ashtanga yoga studios are often called shalas. Find out why.
| Moon Days
Show up to the shala on a moon day, and chances are the doors will be locked. Why?
| Mula Bandha
You will hear a lot about engaging mula bandha in classes at the shala (though not on moon days). Just how do you do that again?
| Forward Bend at Your Desk is the Yoga Pose of the Week
 While it's lovely to attend yoga classes as often as possible, there are some days where it just isn't going to happen. For those days, I highly recommend doing this short series of yoga stretches at your desk, in particular this seated version of a forward bend. Actually, why don't you just put your computer down on the floor and spend the rest of the day like this? Your co-workers won't notice a thing.
