Yoga Was a Lifeline for This COVID-Infected Couple

Posted on March 30, 2020March 30, 2020 by yogacentral

There is little that occupies our minds and days today other than the COVID-19 pandemic that has most of us locked up indoors. Obviously, my yoga class is also under lockdown till 14 April along with all else.

Yoga Won’t Kill the Coronavirus, But It Can Help – Here’s How

Posted on March 18, 2020March 23, 2020 by yogacentral

These are uncertain, and frankly, scary times we find ourselves in right now. The world has never seen the likes of the COVID-19 pandemic that has engulfed us all at this time. It was with a sense of regret that I announced the closure of my yoga classes till the end of March 2020, after considering the opinions of experts and my students. I am hopeful the situation will impro...

Okay, right at the start let me just say that it isn't as if yoga has the power to transform a regular person into a creative person. I am not talking about some magical transformation. What I want to talk about today is about how yoga and meditation let us tap into our own inner selves and discover depths that we may not fully be in touch with. My point is that yoga can help ...

The Difference between Yoga and Yoga Therapy

Posted on March 1, 2020February 26, 2020 by yogacentral

While I have been conducting my yoga classes for many years now, I have been a yoga therapist for some of that time. In other words, my work as a yoga therapist began later; after I had gained significant experience and insight into teaching yoga. This was the result of the conviction that yoga is not only good for fitness and physical health but also has the potential to be t...

Puppy Yoga – May Not Be for Everyone but It’s Fun

For those who love dogs, the very idea of having puppies around is a heart melting concept. Those bright-eyed, frisky, curious, playful little creatures never fail to gladden the heart and put a smile on the face. So, when I heard about puppy yoga I thought to myself that I’m not a big dog-lover, but this would be a great concept for a lot of people. What is puppy yoga?...

Fasting in Conjunction with Yoga – Recommended or Not?

Posted on January 11, 2020January 14, 2020 by yogacentral

A Muslim student in my yoga class once asked me whether it is OK to continue to do yoga during Ramzan (or Ramadan). This got me thinking about the suitability of yoga during such periods of fasting, when the body is denied food and water for long periods of time. Of course there are several other types of fasts that many of my other students also observe – for religious reason...
