If you know me in person or have been following my blog, you know I have a thing for Downward Facing Dog. It’s nothing I need to get therapy for (yet), but I *can* talk about the fine details of this pose from sunrise to sunset. So, this week and next, I’ll be teaching a Mini [...] Tonight I found out that YogaDork was running a t-shirt design contest to raise money for Haiti, and I immediately opened up my Photoshop program. I knew exactly what I wanted to do. Back in early November, I submitted a design to a Yoga Journal contest for a freebie to a YJ conference, and I used then [...] As some of you might have read in my previous post or newsletter, I am, to put it lightly, “friggin’ stoked” to be teaching the Intro to Yoga series at Taj Yoga, a studio directed by Theresa Elliott, who’s also the co-director of Pacific Yoga Teacher Training, a Teacher Training program that’s in its 13th [...] Lately, I’ve been out and about with the Christmas and New Years Festivities, catching up with friends, reflecting on the old days, planning, hoping, dreaming for the days ahead. One thing that would undoubtedly come up in the conversation is yoga. “How’s yoga going?”, is a popular question. “Do you teach hot yoga?”, is another popular [...] Taj Yoga in the Crown Hill neighborhood of Seattle is where I completed my 200-hour teacher training, where I’m currently doing my 500-hour training, and where I have spent many, many more hours studying and refining the craft with senior teacher Theresa Elliott. So, it was a defining moment of my teaching career when Theresa [...] Gentle blog readers of Yoga with Nikki Chau, can you hear it? The grumbling, the rumbling, the bottled-up shakti shakin’, the face-off of the century (so far) in the yoga world: is yoga a sport? Can it be competed? Can it be in the Summer Olympics? Hell, why not in the Winter Olympics too? In the left [...] As modern yoga seekers, we are often bombarded with a million pieces of information about yoga, sometimes some of them downright contrast with each other. In this post I want to talk about two seemingly opposing viewpoints: the importance and unimportance of the fourth branch of Patanjali’s Classical Yoga: the Asanas. One thing that you may have [...] If you’re a regular reader of this blog, or if you’re a student in my class, you may have noticed that I talk a lot about pain. “Are you some sort of masochist?”, you might wonder, “What is the deal?” I can’t offer any good reason for my proclivity towards pain, other than the fact that [...] A couple weeks ago, I joked that “it’s gettin’ hot in hurr” when I wrote about Be Luminous, a new yoga studio opening in the Whole Foods complex in Denny Triangle in downtown Seattle. Little did I know how heated it really was going to be. This afternoon I was talking to my friend Eric over [...] I recently read an article titled 10 Things Your Yoga Instructor Won’t Tell You from Smart Money Mag, and naturally have a thing or two to say. (Let’s forget for a moment the blind cowboy “buy now” advice, and that not everyone heeds their words, but I digress big time.) (Caution, long post ahead, brew some tea [...] |
