Picture a yoga class. Someone kneels on their mat, spreads their fingers wide on their knees, breathes in deeply, and then lets out a loud roar. Tongue out, eyes rolled up, mouth wide open. A few people nearby start laughing. That’s a normal reaction, and that’s actually part of the...
Most of us don’t think about how we breathe. We just do it but watch yourself for a minute. Your breaths are probably quick and shallow and your shoulders might be a little tight. Yoga for lungs is about slowing that down. Below, you’ll find easy poses and breathing practices...
Matsyasana means ‘fish pose‘. “Matsya” is the Sanskrit word for fish. It is a backbend, and it gently opens your chest and throat while you hold it. This pose is old. It comes from the Gheranda Samhita, an ancient yoga text, and yogis still practice it the same way today....
Plank Pose is one of those postures that looks easy until you actually try holding it for thirty seconds. Scroll through any yoga class and you’ll see it everywhere, included between sun salutations, used as a core exercise, taught on day one to complete beginners. There’s a reason for that....

Yoga sequencing is the order in which you arrange poses in a class. A good order helps students warm up, move with care and end the class feeling calm. A weak order can make a class feel rushed, hard or confusing, even when every pose is fine. This article covers...

Virabhadrasana is one of the most recognised poses in all of yoga. Walk into any class, anywhere in the world, and you’ll find it in practice. And yet, even people who practise it daily are only familiar with the posture and its name. Not the meaning behind it. Here, we...
