Fun With Props: Use what you have
http://funwithprops.blogspot.com/2014/11/use-what-you-have.html
Ways use props in your yoga practice. Monday, November 17, 2014. Use what you have. I have heard that BKS Iyengar started using props that he found. Cement bricks became the foam or wooden blocks that we use today. He used what he could find. So what about those times when you travel and you don't have your belt and three blankets, how will you do your inversions? I travel by train. Here is a picture of my yoga room for the next 24 hours. I used the luggage rack for viparita karani. Iyengar Yoga in Austin.

Ways use props in your yoga practice. Tuesday, February 10, 2015. If you have ever taken a class at an Iyengar yoga studio, you know about the rope wall. However, you may not be ready to change your entire living space to have a rope wall in your home. Or perhaps, you are not ready for the questioning looks you receive when a guest sees something like this in your house:. If you want to build something like this, click here. All you need is a dowel and two straps:. First, attach each strap to the dowel:.

Fun With Props: Closing the gap in Parivrtta Parsvakonasana
http://funwithprops.blogspot.com/2015/01/closing-gap-in-parivrtta-parsvakonasana.html
Ways use props in your yoga practice. Tuesday, January 20, 2015. Closing the gap in Parivrtta Parsvakonasana. In Parivrtta Parsvakonasna, I'm working to close the space between the thigh and the torso. Here's what it looks like with no warm up - large thigh gap! In Light on Yoga. There isn't a gap between his chest and his leg (and his back foot is on the ground, and his back thigh is more lifted, and his torso is turned more; you get the idea). Clearly, I have a long way to go. One of my favorites is th...

http://funwithprops.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Ways use props in your yoga practice. Sunday, August 10, 2014. Carry a big stick. This blog was quiet for a little bit, while I was enjoying workshops with Arun. I'm still getting ready for Intro 1 assessment, which is less than a month away. Earlier this week, I saw this picture on the IYNAUS facebook page:. I thought it looked wonderful and couldn't wait to try it. I reposted it on my page and some friends suggested trying the dowel in Utthita Trikonasana and Bharadvajasana. What a great idea! Simple t...

Fun With Props: July 2014
http://funwithprops.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Ways use props in your yoga practice. Thursday, July 10, 2014. Dog days of summer. I know many schools of yoga do not use props. Sometimes props are thought of as a crutch, a way to make poses easier. And that is true. Sometimes. Other times props are used to bring awareness to poses. Sure, I can get my hand down to the floor in Utthita Trikonasana, but what am I giving up to bring my hand down to the floor? What changes in the pose when I put my hand on a block? Working on the other end now, place a str...

ron d hicks: The Aggressive Badger and the Transparency of Our Foibles
http://rondhicks.blogspot.com/2015/01/the-aggressive-badger-and-transparency.html
Tuesday, January 27, 2015. The Aggressive Badger and the Transparency of Our Foibles. For the most part I find my interactions with others in my world of relationships to be better than it has ever been my whole life! I think that the neighbors in my dreams were aspects of myself telling me to turn my focus back to those sources that provide me with health, with care, with nurturing, and from this one can stay the course towards healing which is never ending.
