This Yoga Day, let’s make it about what you truly need
-
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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Hi everyone,
I recently joined MYT and have been teaching yoga for almost a year. Much of my learning has come through self-study and online resources.
Since International Yoga Day is coming up on 21st June, I thought it might be interesting if we used this group to share some lesser-known or rarely taught asanas. Most of us are familiar with common vinyasa flows and popular postures, but it could be a great opportunity to explore something different and learn from each other’s knowledge and experience.
If anyone knows an uncommon asana, its story, benefits, variations, or teaching cues, perhaps you could share it here. It would be a nice way for all of us to expand our understanding of yoga beyond the usual sequences.
Let me know if this sounds like a good idea!

Hello everyone,
We’ve started putting together something special around International Yoga Day, and we wanted to bring the community into it early.
We’re still in the planning phase, but the idea is to create sessions that feel meaningful and genuinely helpful — not just something you attend, but something you take away from.
These could be sessions around things like:
• managing back or neck pain
• building a simple daily yoga routine
• breathwork for stress and better sleep
• beginner-friendly flows
• improving flexibility or mobilityBefore we shape this further, we’d love to hear from you.
What kind of session would you personally find most useful or interesting?
Feel free to share your thoughts — we’ll build this based on what the community needs.
Looking forward to creating this together.

Thats a nice way… and I love doing it. I love the stories behind the asana’s and everything is a new thing for me. I am game! Let me know the time and place via zoom, we can get connected or chat about it. Thank you!
