YOGA

Oh man, great thread! I love yoga. I do the Bikram style of yoga:

www.bikramfh.com.

It's done in a very hot room (105 degrees) to promote sweating & release toxins. People walk out of the class literally dripping. It's not the most popular style of yoga for this reason, but I find that the heat helps me to stretch better, and with less injury.

Yoga is great, but I have to avoid certain postures because of my other sports. Too much mobility in the lumbar spine is bad when you're squatting heavy.

I loves the Yoga. It's the only thing that'll get the kinks out of my neck/back and keep them away for a reasonable amount of time, and I always feel SO refreshed afterwards. <3

I used to do yoga everyday, and I really want to get back into it.

I just don't have anyone to do it with,

and I would like to go to a place where there are instructors

but don't know of any good places.

I can't do yoga, Rev. It bores me to tears...I will fall asleep..

I love my Yoga and my Yoga instructor, she is so awesome. Without it I would be SO unbalanced. I decided against it last winter semester- YHA BIG MISTAKE!!!

I mostly focus on my Yamas, the two main ones for me being Ahimsa and Satya.

It has been more then helpful.

I don't remember many asanas but I might get back into the actual stretching sometime because it helps elevate my mood and lift more weight.

I know different techniques with Kundalini and Jnana Yoga, currently favoring Jnana and Westernized variant of Karma Yoga as a practice. For what its worth, I also know some different Kundalini symptoms, including severe ones which seem perceptual or dealing with the head, and different ways to stop or potentially stop them.

Since the West sees Yoga between stretching and philosophy, I follow Ramana Maharshi's philosophy of the different samadhis. Though I've heard different definitions for Nirvikalpa and I'm unsure about whether it includes or rejects physical bliss, or can have either. And added onto that confusion, physical or nervous system-based bliss is probably not the sum total of what ananda or bliss means in mystic traditions.
