Flexibility doesn’t come from forcing your body into deeper stretches — it comes from practicing with support and awareness.

Yoga blocks can help you:
• Ease into stretches safely
• Improve alignment
• Gradually build flexibility over time

We’ve put together a guide with 10 simple yoga block stretches you can start with:

You can do.
If you go to any of your past sessions, if you scroll down, there’s a section for you to add your own notes and save them. Only you can see the notes.
You can also search your past sessions eg by the name of the teacher.

I think it would be helpful to categorize the recordings like favorites or any other personal categorization / keywords. Since every session is recorded, I lose track of a specific session which was good, which might have resonated or if there was a new technique that I should refer to. I would like to mark these sessions and refer to them for my own practice. Just sharing an idea.

There are hardly options for classes starting from 5:30pm/ 6:00pm CT. If you can please have some beginner flow classes there. Some teachers expects us to know the name of the poses whithout guiding step-by-step to the pose- that becomes difficult to follow. Some teachers do not talk about the breathing part- when to inhale and exhale- so instructions can be a little more elaborate.

Nm I agree. MYT definitely needs more Iyengar. We have one excellent Iyengar teacher, Trupti, who unfortunately has a lot of demands on her time ATM due to studying. IMO, Iyengar must be the most difficult style to teach, as it requires very detailed, precise instructions due to the importance of correct alignment, and a lot of patience and ability to motivate the students as the pose has to be held for so long. However, for me it is such a good style, as holding the pose is brilliant for strengthening as well as flexibility, so it is invaluable for older people, or people with osteoarthritis. The use of props ensures that less flexible people can enjoy the benefits of the pose, but definitely you need an experienced, dedicated and patient teacher.

I like to see more Iyengar style yoga where postures are explained clearly. I like to hear which muscles are working and what is the benefit to of the posture. More focus on what the correct position of the knee, the feet, the hands are while holding a position and how to use your muscles to bring the posture into the correct position so one does not hurt oneself. I like to have the postures held longer so muscles can relax and the body can sink into the posture. Flow maybe good for some but not for all even for advanced students.

Sound bath seems very interesting. Please have some classes for UK timings. I have requested many times

Hi Sini Defiantly will join you for this class

Vivek Yes. sound bath I never tried and would like to experience that.

I don’t think I have received the personalised plan and I’ve had a few classes already. It sounds good

sessions around sound healing and prenatal / post natal yoga perhaps?

Hello Anirudh I have not experienced sound bath and as others indicated that I would also like to do which I don’t experience in regular class. I would like to nominate few of my yogi fellows to get their feedback. Sini Kumar Swathi K Shveta gupta Tanvi Thacker harshitha Urmila Jyothi Srihari
