[mama squeak!]

New home!

Link to thread 2 here.

I practice yoga twice a week at Nomads in Merville. Our teachers are from Ananda Marga. If anyone is interested to join us just let me know.

Who has tried the anti gravity yoga? Sa beyond lang ba meron nito? Where else is this offered?

[Girltalker2]

^ i think that is too much for me. ok sana, kaso ang problema ko may slip disc ako so I have to take it slowly. I am into Yoga pero basic yoga lang and now trying hot yoga. Both of which are really good, I think. Mas mahimbing ang tulog ko sa gabi. Mas masarap matulog. 

Nakaka relieve din ng stress.

[yssayjayla]

may yoga center ba in mandaluyong? thanks.

[purple.strawberry]

I saw some cheap yoga mats in Landmark, I think nasa 500 lang ang price. Any feedback on these gals?

Next month provided na medyo maluwag ang sched sa project, I want to start na on bikram yoga. Last year pa dapat kaso I had an operation sa bandang wrist so I put it off and ito, super tagal ng panahon ang lumipas. Haha. To those who have lost weight in bikram, how frequest are your sessions and ilan nalose niyong weight?

Btw, thanks to the gt sis who shared the free yoga class schedule in Makati. Will try it out with another GT sis possibly this month.

Tried anti-gravity yoga at beyond yoga. OK naman sya. enjoyable. ampangit nga lang ng itsura pag nakapatiwarik. parang un skin hinihila ng gravity. Dont expect to look like iya villania pag nakapatiwarik, i dunno how they manage to shoot her so beautifully in that position for the ad.  Beyond yoga studio has good ammenities. Medyo pricey nga lang yun anti-gravity. I think PHP 600 per session.

With regards to yoga mat, yun tig php500 sa landmark di sya ganun ka sturdy.  pero its good for entry level yogis para di masyado mahal incase magsawa ka sa yoga di masyado sayang.

^ I attended Bikram only for 6 times in a span of 10 days. Nakakapagod sya but I really liked it than normal yoga.

Mas strict yung mga instructors (case to case kasi pag regular yoga), but in Bikram, at least sa na-attendan ko, super strict sila.  Like kung kelangan magkadikit palms mo, dapat buong palm all the time.

Make sure you hydrate yourself well - before and after class. During class naman, bring a bottle of water.

sis, saan branch ang pupuntahan mo, what are their rates?

[purple.strawberry]

^Sis baka sa bikram yoga manila since yung makati branch nila is malapit lang sa office. Saan ka nagbikram?

[pinkpie]

I'm also planning to visit Bikram Yoga in Libis but I'm curious kung paano ba ang process for beginners, as in first timers? Parang nahihiya kasi ako baka hindi ko masundan yung papagawa. Any advise please.

[mhae_0615]

^ sis pinkpie, i tried bikram yoga last year pero wala pang 10 sessions naattendan ko. ang dami kasing gala nung panahon na yun. (palusot,hehe)

anyways, mababait sila sa mga beginners. lagi mo lang susundan yung mga nasa paligid mo tsaka pakikinggan yung instructor. ang goal lang on your first vist is to remain inside the room. nung 1st time ko kasi parang nahihilo ako tsaka masakit sa ulo pero sabi nila normal lang daw since yung oxygen umaabot na sa brains natin kaya nagaadjust pa.

btw, sa bikram yoga manila ko pa lang nattry. balak ko sana mag-eastwood this month kasi malapit sa office.

First-timer here! My doctor said that my overfatigue/overwork/overstress is causing my back pain and that i should find a way to DESTRESS. Hahaha! He said i could try yoga or pilates. So here i am!

First off, i have an impression that Yoga is an expensive program kaya medyo hesitant ako. Anyway, we'll see. I can probably shell out P500/session, 1 session per week. may pasok ba sa ganitong budget?

I'm based in Makati. Sana may beginner's class for people like me.

[QueenDC]

sis meimei, you can try urban ashram along ayala, 6780. meron sila for newbies 1500 for 15 days unlimited, then if you want once a week lang may flexi pass option sila. you can check out their website as well.

[milishiu]

I've been doing Bikram Yoga for 4 sessions, 1 per week. It was introduced to me by my friend. The location of the Yoga place that I go is at Tomas Morato, Quezon City. Bikram Yoga at that branch are very friendly and also their staff. They are very accommodating and welcoming with beginners. P650 per session. I just recently enrolled 5 sessions for 1 month for P3000. I'm hoping to make it a regular routine for me to do yoga once a week, hopefully other people would also be interested in Bikram Yoga.

Thanks sa info

Weird question.. sorry.. is it true that yoga has chanting? I mean of course aside from the "Om" thing.

[freiavida]

i have tried Beyond Yoga BGC. Na-ah. i don't like the instructor at all. Hanap na lang ng iba.

[khymmmm]

I love yoga+ in BGC, particularly their hot yoga sessions. 

[ehna]

yoga plus offers 1500/week unlimited. they provide everything including water, mat, toiletries, towel so you dont need to bring anything. their teachers are good

[mixxy16]

Yoga+ has a promo, 2months unlimited for only 6k. Tempting

I used to have back pains due to scoliosis and my desk job made it worse to the point that I regularly have to undergo physical therapy pero I don't feel pains now after months of regular yoga practice. Movement lang pala ang katapat.  Try yoga sis, it is expensive but think of it as investing on your body and health.
