Yoga Yoga Yoga Styles Beginners Poses & Workouts From Ann Pizer, your Guide to Yoga When a heat wave hit the northeastern US last week, I started hearing murmurs (ok, it was on Twitter) that people were passing over their favorite yoga studios, which tend to be unairconditioned, in favor of the cool confines of the gym. Yet another factor in the ongoing gym vs. yoga studio debate... Yoga Studio Vs. Gym - What's Your Style? There are a number of issues that contribute to whether you chose to do yoga at a dedicated studio or at your gym. Since yoga is so much about individual teachers, I think the distinction between the two settings is becoming less of an issue since so many teachers are working at both locales. Yoga Studio vs. Gym - Pros and Cons Take a look at some of the differences between yoga studios and gyms, including affordability, convenience, and community. Cooling Breath - Shitali Pranayama Summer's favorite pranayama. It's a particularly nice way to end a yoga session on a sticky day, and worth a try if you have to venture away from your A/C into the hot, hot world. Pose of the Week - Plank Pose Plank pose is often seen as a quick stopping off point between downward facing dog and chaturanga. It's just a transition, right? Wrong! If you've ever tried to hold plank for more than a few breaths, you've surely discovered that it's a great arm strengthener and that it's really hard to hold your body perfectly straight, meaning your core is working too. So give plank its due- it may not have glamour, but its got plenty of guts.
