A really good online Yoga resource

Just wanted to pass this along to the other Yogis. Yoga Journal's web site has an excellet section on their site devoted to poses. The site explains the pose in good detail and also gives the poses to do in preparation and the poses that the pose "leads" to.

I take classes but this is helpful for my personal practice. Here's a link to the site

Thanks for posting this. I love my yoga classes but have not done much research on the subject; I look forward to exploring this site.

Thanks for posting the link! I just started a yoga class 2 weeks ago and would like more info on poses (I realized I need to learn my right from my left...) :rolleyes: ;) :D

What a fabulous site! I especially love the search function.

Thanks, Susan, for sharing this with us!

Thanks...I registered for the SELF challenge, and I have to stretching 2-3x's per week, this will be a big help.

Thanks for the site. I've been taking yoga classes for over 5 years at the same school and need to go farther than the class I'm in as it really is geared for beginners. Since I live in a rural area, this is just what I am looking for.

I've also just discovered a great set of videos if you're looking to push yourself a bit beyond basic practice. Brian Kest's Power Yoga, vol. 1, 2, and 3. I ordered mine from Amazon (and only paid around $21 for all three tapes). He approaches some of the poses a bit different (like moving up instead of down into triangle), but the three volumes work up in difficulty so you are constantly challenged. I have only gotten up to #2 so far!

This is such a timely thread for me - I took my first yoga class last night and it was GREAT! I didn't feel weird or out of place, even though many had obviously been practicing for a long time. I'll enjoy looking through this link - thanks!
