Yoga Thread 3

[happynlove]

Hi mga sis, plan ko magyoga pero wala pa kong idea how to start. Sino sa inyo pumupunta sa Life Yoga bgc? Malapit lang sa office namin to eh so pwede ako before pumasok. I plan to enroll thru KFit. San nga pala kayo bumibili ng yoga towel? Would you recommend a towel or yung nabasang kong toesox? Do you bring your own mats?

[Missus O]

^ I'd suggest check out the rules in the studio that you wish to practice in. It's always advisable to bring your own mat, I'm not that fond of lying down on a mat with someone else's sweat on. But to each his own.  If you're a heavy sweater, then it might be  advisable to bring a yoga mat towel.  I normally buy from Amazon ( but then I'm not based in the Phil.), I definitely recommend Manduka yoga mat towels. I own 2, and they absorb the sweat really well.  Good luck.

Mga sis, ako sa Cashcashpinoy lang bumili ng yoga mat towel yung skidless kuno. Meron din binebenta sa Urban Ashram, Made for Movement ang brand. Meron din sa ROX na mga Gaiam towels tsaka sa Aura Athletica (Ninja something, nalimutan ko ang brand).

Pero bet ko talaga ang Yoga Paws. Gusto ko talaga magkaroon nito...

Life Yoga BGC provides mats, straps, and blocks - so I just bring my own towel. you wouldn't want to lay down your forehead or face sa mat di ba.

sa Bikram i bring my own. bukod sa for rent ang mat mejo smelly ang mat nila.

aquazorb yoga towel gamit ko, eto kasi mura pero ok naman (P500). 

[happynlove]

thank you mga sis. Nabasa ko nga sa Life Yoga sabi you just need to bring a towel since may mat na. I'm wondering lang kung ano normally ginagawa ng iba pero sa dami nga ng gumagamit ng mat mukhang I need to bring my own. Meron na kong mat nabili ko lang sa Runnr, not sure how it compares in terms of quality sa nasa studio since I bought it for the purpose of home workout in mind This month ko lang naisip magyoga sa studio talaga eh 

^May aquazorb pala sis na yoga towel? Nagcheck ako sa Certified Calm online, nasa 2k din pala, eh yung mat ko nasa 2300 na yata wah 

[riandrew]

^ im not a regular sa Life but whenever i attend a class there, yung mga students dun towel lang dinadala. they dont bring their own mats. oh well, siguro di ko lang nattyempuhan in case may mga nagdadala ng sarili nila.


ang ganda naman ng mga gamit mo. anyway see you sa Life. thru kfit din ang bookings ko.

Mga sis have you heard about the Urban Yoga 2016 with Joan Hyman of Urban Ashram? Meron ba dito a-attend? Join ako if meron hihi!

[happynlove]

Meron ba sa inyo mga sis na hindi nagssleeveless for yoga top?hindi pa ko confident sa tummy ko eh plus ayoko makita ua ko hahaha anong top ginagamit nyo?

[honeybunny]

^i always wear sleeveless sis. Most  of the teachers do too. Kaya hindi nakaka-conscious mag sleeveless kasi sila hindi din sila conscious and wapakels din sa UA nila. some i see tiny UA hairs din. So i was like "oh, ok lang pala yun?" That it is a normal thing pala to have UA hairs and kahit hindi makinis ang UA mala-anne curtis

[krabby_patty]

Is Birkam Yoga Eastwood still open? Passed by the area recently pero parang closed na. Or baka under renovation lang?

[happynlove]

ah talaga sis honeybunny? Last thing na naisip ko ua ko eh habang naghahanap ng top. Naisip ko what if natapat yung class ko sa tamad days  plus hindi talaga makinis tapos baka yung mga kasabayan ko ang gaganda ng ua 

[Missus O]

^actually when you're doing yoga, you want to wear something comfortable wherein you can move freely. Most of the time, practitioners are busy trying to perform an asana. Trying to be focused on doing certain poses,  nobody's paying attention naman kung ano ang ichura ng arms mo.   

[snowkeis]

@honeybunny: Sis, for the whole month of April sa beyond fairview si teacher Dianne. Sya yung teacher ko sa Ashtanga. Try mo sis sa kanya if you have time.

[honeybunny]

^strict ba sya sis? They say kasi si KQ daw very strict sa ashtanga. hehe tagal ko nang hindi nag yoga. 1 month na. I am still in vacation. I wanna go back soon na rin. I tried doing vinyasa at home pansin ko nawAwala na flexibility ko

[snowkeis]

@honeybunny: Aww kelan balik mo sis? Sana ma try mo sya sis. Okay lang naman sya sis, strict na hindi.  Pero magaling sya for me. 

2 weeks ata ako hindi nakapag yoga grabe para ako hihimatayin nung bumalik ako haha. Back to zero at sobra sakit katawan pero after 2 practice okay na ulit.

[choco_loka]

^ same here! halos 10 days wala akong yoga, bumalik ako last Tuesday, halos di ko kayanin ang Bikram.. nahilo ako after pero nung shavasana medyo ok na ko hahaha.

Krabby_patty,

No its closed na:( But the owner is still conducting classes in her private home in Valle Verde. They only have 2 schedules per day now and you have to confirm your slot. I heard classes can also get cancelled like an hour before the schedule if they a few students lang. Check Oxygen Studio in Facebook, thats the owner:)

[krabby_patty]

Thank you for the info sis @Rowan Very sad to hear they've closed down but I'll check out the owner's FB page.
