Booking a yoga 1:1: what to expect

When attending yoga, you might choose to go to a class in a yoga studio, a gym, or a community-driven class in a church hall or similar. But what if you’re finding a particular pose hard, and you can’t catch the teacher afterwards, or you’re not getting what you need from those gym classes, you might like to consider hitting someone you like up for a private sesh.

Hypermobility and yoga

When practicing yoga, you may have been guided to micro-bend your knees or elbows, in order to avoid hyper-extending (or ‘locking’) into the joint. But what does this actually mean?

Knee pain in yoga: it's probably your hips and ...

Knee pain is a common complaint in yoga classes and beyond, but you might be surprised to discover that quite often, the culprit is, in fact, not the knees at all, but instead, your hips and your bum.

WTF, downward dog? Why is it so hard?

I just wanted to talk a bit about downward-facing dog, because, well, it's a really hard yoga pose, and one of the most well-known out there. If I had a pound for every time someone told me they couldn't stay in it, or that they'd left a yoga class after the teacher harassed them for not being able to do so, I'd be... well, not rich, but I could buy a Nandos?

Culture of consent: yoga and kink

How can kink/BDSM reflect the practices that go on in our modern yogic communities, where power plays abound? I spoke to someone on the kink scene to find out a little more about how self-aware practitioners combat consent issues.

One of the issues with exercising after recovering from injury, even if that injury was years before, is that sometimes, as in my case, it can make your muscles weaker and more prone to what I call 'pinging'.

What. A. Week. Left my old job and started a new one, interviewed at a third, got my hair cut, did a load of yoga... I'm totally shattered. It's been great, if emotionally taxing.
