Half Lotus Tree Is the Yoga Pose of the Week
If your hips and knees allow it, this half lotus tree pose makes for a nice variation. It's also the first step to getting into flying crow, in case you were wondering just how the heck to approach that one.

Slim Calm Sexy - What Are Your Adjectives?
While writing my review of Slim Calm Sexy Yoga, the new book from yoga teacher Tara Stiles (of New York and the internet), I began thinking about which three analogous adjectives describe what yoga does for me. I came up with Strong, Sane, and Confident. Not quite as catchy as Slim, Calm, and Sexy, but more accurate to my experience. What are your adjectives?

Anjaneyasana Video
I'm very excited about a crop of new yoga videos now live on About.com. Each of these short videos features demonstration and instruction by Joelle Hann, a wonderful New York-based yoga teacher and writer. You can check out her work on her blog, Yoga Nation, and enjoy her great alignment and clear explanations in this video on anjaneyasana (cresecent lunge).

Bird of Paradise Is the Yoga Pose of the Week
Bird of paradise is one of those poses that seems completely improbable until the day comes, quite unexpectedly, when you find yourself standing there on one leg, all bound and balancing. What I like about this pose is that it can easily be broken down into stages, beginning with bound side angle. As you become comfortable with each step along the way, you are working your way up to the full pose.

Yoga on a Budget Advice
A reader wrote me this week complaining about the high cost of yoga classes. Believe me, if this yoga guide gig came with super powers, I'd wave my hand and make all classes affordable, studios profitable, and hamstrings flexible. Unfortunately, it's beyond my control, but I can offer you some ideas on how to do yoga on a budget. Donation-based studios are the big news lately, as more teachers become committed to keeping the cost of yoga reasonable.

Yoga for Kids
As yoga's popularity grows, more and more avenues of this ancient practice are being explored. Yoga for kids, quite a modern concept, grew out of parents thinking their children could enjoy some of the same benefits of yoga that adult do, such as improved body awareness, coordination, and stress relief. Traditional yoga practice is definitely a grown-up activity, but yoga is flexible enough to accommodate young students as well when the teaching is approached in the right way.
