Okay, there’s a lot of kinds of Yoga. And I am having a hard time choosing one. I just want to know the most basic form of yoga, the type that other kinds of yoga base upon; so that I will be able to stick to one practice and instructor. Thanks.

Question by Adam: What are some good yoga poses/stretches to do at work?
I have kyphosis (Curved spine) and I have a desk job where I am sitting 8 hours a day.
What are some good yoga stretches I can do to prevent my low back, butt, hamstrings and hip flexors from getting so ungodly tight?
Thanks

The sun salutation is a good overall body stretch that warms and loosens tight muscles at the same time. I would do that repeatedly until you feel relaxed. it works for me.
Have you thought about getting a treadmill desk? I walk between 5-10 miles a day while I work (I walk anywhere between 2-2.5 miles per hour). Its the best thing I have ever done!

Question by yup: What kind of yoga mat should I use for bikram?
I’m starting to do Bikram Yoga (hot yoga). I have a regular sticky mat and a manduka towel, but I’d like to get a yoga mat more suited to Bikram. What brand/mat do you recommend?
Best answer:
Answer by Dances with Buddha
Many lay a fabric rug or even just a bath/beach towel over their sticky mat.
This absorbs the sweat which otherwise would make even a sticky mat slippery.
Having the sticky mat underneath helps keep the fabric from sliding around the floor.
I don’t think you will find much difference between brands.
Just anything that is mostly (if not 100%) cotton.
(I don’t know if any other natural fibers would be as good as cotton).

Question by Alex: What is it called when you reach complete balance through yoga?
Sometimes, very rarely, while doing yoga for extended periods of time, when I totally relax, an incredible feeling washes over me. The closest metaphor I can make of it is having an orgasm of total happiness… Does anyone know what this is called?

Answer by Morpheus
Complete balance is when we stop falling over all the time from being unbalanced.
Don’t know the name of this orgasmic state – but good work – sounds great. The essence of life is intense beauty – not too many people know that and spend their lives never feeling it.
