^^i think i saw wil's post sa IG na he has to substitute kasi wala yung teacher nyo for that day? he teaches sa fairview too every tuesday i think

sa IG search mo yung beyond yoga na place u will find him, kaso hindi talaga sya mahilig mag hashtag, pero sa places nagtatag sya

[snowkeis]

^ Hi sis! I saw teacher Wil's IG na. Grabbed our pic last Sunday. Have you had classes with him na ba sis?

[snowkeis]

the first time i tried yoga super tagaktak ang pawis ko!  yung face ko was literally dripping sa pawis    i couldnt understand it nung una.  kasi i go to the gym and attend dance classes.  after an hour of dancing pawis pawis nang konti sa likod pero super tagtag na katawan ko nun.  pati utak ko naalog na kakasayaw.  but when i started doing yoga, ang bagal naman ng mga movements, puros stretching lang naman ang nangyayari.  pero kung pawisan ako buong katawan!  kaya i got hooked sa yoga.  so aside from the dance classes, i also do yoga three times a week.  hinahanap hanap na ng katawan ko yung yoga

I agree with you sis. Chaturanga pa lang pawisan na ko sobra. And yes nakaka -adik sya din for me. Thrice a week na ko nag ppractice. Kung pwede lang sana everyday kaso yung mga buto buto ko hahah

yes every tuesday and may monday din once na nagturo sya nagsubstitute sya sa isang teacher.

@selyado - i tried headstand for the first time with kristine, and magaling sya mag guide on how to do it step by step. so nagawa ko for 10 seconds yata haha

then i tried it again with ashtanga yesterday, super pagod ako sa chaturanga at vinyasa kaya hirap na hirap ako gawin yung headstand haha

[snowkeis]

^ sis honeybunny nag start din ba kayo na meron guide sa wall or diretso wala na? TIA

[selyado]

si yoga teacher kasi told me na dapat daw may cardio din ako aside from yoga.  so MWF before my yoga class i attend the dance class.  retro, hip hop, modern dance classes MWF, an hour of dance class before yoga.  Tues and Thurs naman, 2 hours of dance class.  wala akong hilig gumamit ng mga machines sa gym.  treadmill nga lang i get bored.  30 minutes of treadmill feeling ko nasayang lang oras ko. 

off topic:  i've tried H&M's sports bra and racer back pang yoga.  okay naman, hindi nalilislisan ng top kapag nagtututuwad na sa yoga

@snowkeis - i've ben practicing yoga for some months na, mag 1 year na pala hehe, I still use the wall when doing bound headstand, forearmstand or handstands. Although now lumalayo na ako paunti unti. The thing with yoga, don't force it. It will come in due time with continued practice Namaste sis.

yes sis. Thank you. Good thing about my ashtanga teacher is she never forced us. Headstand pa lang ako and still nasa wall pa din. Siguro twice ko pa lang nagagawa since nito lang din nya pinagawa sakin. Where do you practice sis?

[stradivarius]

Does anyone go to Urban Ashram BGC? Dun ako ngayon

[snowkeis]

Sissies, help. Where can I buy spray mist / aromatic for my yoga towel and healing cream as well. TIA

[honeybunny]

^ sis honeybunny nag start din ba kayo na meron guide sa wall or diretso wala na? TIA

yung kay kristine (yoga start), walang wall but i didnt get scared. yung sa ashtanga, wala ding wall but super pagod nako to exert effort haha

some teachers kasi pushes you sa position minsan kasi akala mo hanggang dun na lang yung bend mo yun pala kaya pa pala when they pushed you.. 

like yung binding, i didnt know i can do it until the ashtanga teacher helped me to bind.

[snowkeis]

^ Teacher Dianne (subbed for ashtanga sa beyond qc this march every mon and fri) lahat kami pina start nya sa wall. Kanina lang din ako nag backbend before bridge pose lagi pinapagawa.

Who teaches Ashtanga sis sa beyond fairview?

[honeybunny]

^si teacher Ria. meron din si KQ kaso mas strict yata sya kaya takot pa kame to attend her class.  i tried vinyasa 2 yesterday and it is challenging din like ashtanga but not as stressful haha mas gusto ko na vinyasa 2

yung mga kasabay namin sa ashtanga magagaling na sila, and we try to keep up with every position kaya hinihingal kame, while sila chill lang hehe sabi nga nung teacher samin "guys this is not a competition" lol

when i checked yung ibang pics ng igobeyond, maraming tao and crowded yung class, sa fairview kasi (the only branch na i get to go to) hindi super dami, hindi pa kame lalagpas sa 10 minsan, unless pag sunday morning. well i attend lang naman sa umaga, so i dunno if mas maraming tao on a different time.

i just think mas ok pag mas konti yung students. hehe

[snowkeis]

^ lagi nila sinasabi yan haha no competition. try ko umattend ng class ni teacher Ria. Every weekend lang kase ako sis sa beyond.

What's the challenging pose for you sis? Ako hirap sa one foot standing balance.

[stradivarius]

Sissies, help. Where can I buy spray mist / aromatic for my yoga towel and healing cream as well. TIA

I use Messy Bessy sports spray. di ko alam anong exact name ha. Basta iisa lang naman ang sports spray nila, tapos one scent for women, one for men.

ako rin hirap sa one foot standing balance, pero our Indian teacher before taught us to focus on one thing/look at one spot then try not to lose your gaze on that spot para mag balance ka. found his tip super helpful

yung may mga binding. favorite ko yung hip opening, anything na pang hips kasi feeling ko pag naopen na hips ko magkakabalakang nako hehe

yung reverse prayer pose, yung sa likod yung prayer. hindi ko kaya.

[Missus O]

^the reverse prayer pose is a variant chest opener. If you can't extend your wrist behind your back(reverse prayer) you can try rounding your hands into a fist (until the time that your muscles stretch and you can do the asana). It also straightens your back. If you feel na wala kayong stretch sa fists on your back,  you can go try holding both elbows behind you.  If you are doing  a pyramid pose with the reverse prayer pose  (parsvottanasana), it helps to align your back and keep keep it straight, as long as you don't round your shoulders just so your head can reach your knees, then it defeats the purpose.  Try doing the reverse prayer with pyramid pose while maintaining a straight back. Even if your head doesn't reach your shin. Another way to stretch your chest, is to use a strap (if you don't have a yoga strap use an old shirt, your husband's ROTC belt- or any canvas belt- ) Hope this helps. Namaste sis.
