Thanks for your time replying :) I think the sports therapist was being imprecise and suggesting the head of the biceps into its tendon and surrounding fascia. But I'll see what physio says; ultimately its down to me to both protect and mobilise. I'm familiar with the PMA sequences, and am already u...

In general, tendonitis is a chronic inflammation of the tendon (but not always - sometimes it is a tear). Tendonitis is a bane of yoga teachers who tweak/sprain their ligaments or tendons but won’t give their body a chance to heal because they have to teach, and in teaching they re-injure the area ...

I'm working privately with Nidra CDs after home yin practice, and finding it a beneficial combination. I'm doing teacher training at present, and my tentative plans - and when you write that you just know the Gods are smiling - are to supplement that with Nidra training so I can offer that as part o...

thx

Hari Om A question, or possibly a discussion topic if there is no right or wrong. Most yoga texts - I've been doing some holiday reading - and indeed classes, seem to flow through an order of Asana, Pranayama, Meditation/Mindfulness.

I'm currently undertaking a (my first) TTC; its a "generalised" one, even though I am drawn to establishing a teaching practice in Yin, and the main attractions/criteria were: ~ local to me (ten minutes away!) ~ part time - 2, maybe 3, years, suits me, possibly wouldn't suit most ~ the teacher, alth...

The image seems to suggest quite a severe pronation to have the sole of the foot facing outward; thats neither ac...

Liked that article

Thanks Bernie, thats helpful. After I posted the question, I was musing further; the flexation on the knees is exaggerated even further by the Vajrasana / Virasana / Saddle asanas, and whilst there is clearly some differing dynamics there because of the kneeling rather than standing posture, the kne...

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but the previous posts touch on my question a little. When working with a lunge based asana its always taught not to let the knee come forward of the ankle. But in utkatasana - or squat based asanas - clearly the knee does go forward. So my question is what ...

I read this article with interest, and the follow up here. I can't help but feel that more emphasis on encouraging student body awareness is linked to this. For some students locking out or hyper extension will feel instinctively right; for others it won't, but I'm not always sure the balance betwee...
