Yoga bandhas. For example, traditional jal basti, vamana dhauti, nauli kriya, and agni sara kriya can not be done without first mastering uddiyana bandha. Thus these kriyas (along with the rest of the shat karmas) are taught at the very beginning of any traditional hatha yoga training. Unfortunately, it is not well known in the West that all the bandhas may be used very effectively during asana practice as well as well as pranayama and as a preparation for meditation. The average student in the West are not interested beyond these preliminary stages. Then when there is sincere spiritual interest or passion (tapas) the more advanced pranayamas are taught which involve kumbhaka (retention) as the next step.
Always as we start to talk more "developmental", there will arise contradictions as to the "rules" set out for the beginner. Later nadi shuddhi is developed further to sukha purvaka where one applies mulabandha at the end of the inhale then jalandhara bandha (holding two bandhas). Jai Ma! Ethical Clothing For Ethical Yogis. I recently called for a boycott of Lululemon. I did it because I felt that the corporate face of yoga should adhere to some small part of yoga philosophy. But as I researched the company I realized that their business methods should not be supported by anyone that has an interest in preserving our planet and our humanity. The response was mostly positive. But many people claimed that the use of sweatshop labor was the norm, that the production of textiles and garments will always produce pollution, that businesses simply operated in this manner and there was no other alternative.
And this isn’t true. There are hundreds (if not thousands) of ethical companies that pay their workers well, do their part to preserve the environment, care about their communities, and care about their customers. Yes, we can shop from second hand stores, and trade with our friends. Supporting these companies now will only set a precedent for the future!

Top 20 Curiously Perfect Songs to Include on a Yoga Playlist. Yoga playlists fascinate me. They are so personal and reflective of the teacher who makes them; their mood, what they are trying to communicate, what speaks to them and what they’re hoping will speak to you. As a yoga instructor, I know when I put my playlists together I’m trying to find a balance between originality, inspiration and appropriateness. I’ve made a lot of mis-steps: Imogene Heap and Digable Planets haven’t resonated with my seniors, and conversely, when I sneak in some Style Council or Chet Baker I can feel my high school students blanking out as they hum a few bars of Sweet Disposition from the Temper Trap just to get through that last sun salutation.
It’s easy enough to play a whole album by Soulfood and just keep everyone generally happy, but when I want some diversity and unexpected infusion of energy or beauty, these are 20 of the songs I gravitate toward. 1) Anything by Habib Koite Habibe Koite is an African musician who, in my mind, can do no wrong.
