I both love and hate pigeon pose. So good for opening my hips but sometimes it feels like too much.
I also love all the warrior poses, they make me feel so strong!
And downward dog is always a good one =]0 -

Love yoga.
Frog is my move of pain & suffering.
I love Warrior, especially #30 -
LOVE yoga! So beneficial and relaxing. One of my favorite poses is a restorative one: Supported Fish with Bound Angle. I feel totally open and ready to receive.

Nothing wrong with stretching. I've just never called it yoga. That came in with the Beatles and a western discovery and manipulation of eastern practices.0

vinyasa flow...the transition from plank to chaturunga to updog then downdog..... and in a 110 degree room.... even better!0

I don't care for yoga. It makes me hurt, and it doesn't feel good to me. My boss is from India, and he gave me some really good tips, that have helped a lot. But, still, I don't really like it that much. I am not a flexible person at all. I'm just not. So, some of those poses are very uncomfortable for me. I do, however, like simple stretching.0

I guess a peacful mind and happy muscles after a long workout is not for everyone0 -
I LOVE YOGA and I am a yoga teacher
Also love pigeon pose! Another fave is bound half moon. Yoga can be all different things to different people. For some it's a very spiritual experience, while others enjoy the physical benefits most. There are so many types of classes, something for everyone! I teach vinyasa, but also teach classes where it is a vinyasa flow style class but with twist on it, doing hip-hop yoga or black light yoga.0 -

perhaps a case of too much too soon?0 -

that sounds fun0 -
I just started doing the P90X yoga... man that is difficult!! EVERY position is muscle-tremor sweaty torture. But, I can definitely see how it will become super rewarding.0

thats one type of yoga but there are others hatha yoga is for deep streching0 -
I'm a huge fan of yoga! The stretch is amazing! I thought one was born flexible... not true at all! I don't love the calorie burn but the way yoga works the muscles, it's so undeniably beneficial! I have Fibromyalgia so doing yoga was really hard but incredibly worth it!!
Triangle pose is my favorite. However pigeon, butterfly, and "the transition from plank to chaturunga to updog then downdog" I learned from P90X is so good!0 -
I love yoga!
My favourite poses are pigeon pose, camel, and full bridge. I also like the plough and spider.
I really like poses that stretch my back
My least favourite is downward dog. The blood rushes to my head and I get a bit dizzy.
For relaxation, I love child's pose0 -
Standing bow all the way baby!0

My favorite pose always changes. I like balance poses and most of the standing poses, backbends, arm balances, and wide-legged forward bends. I tend to not like twists and abs.0 -
The simple downward dog kills me!! My arms burn and my calf muscles hurt!!
Is it just one of those "suck it up and keep going" things, or am I doing it wrong?? Even during Pilates, those are the moves I dread!!0 -
I LOVE yoga!!! It helps my body re-set every week (if that makes sense). If my back is hurting, I know that by the end of yoga.... everything will feel good again.
Although I love Yoga.... I do not always love my Yoga teachers... I have had EXCELLENT ones.... when I leave the class I cant help but smile because it was SUCH a good workout (endorphins) and I have had teachers go through the poses like they are a dance routine (quick quick quick). Personally, I like to stay in a pose for an extended period of time... it makes my muscles work harder... and it makes me loosen up faster so that I can stretch deeper.
HAVE YOU GUYS EXPERIENCED THIS? What do you prefer?
My favorite yoga poses are: Tree Pose, Extended Hand to Big Toe Pose, Cat and Calf, and last but NOT least... Childs Pose.0
