The Yogic Boner
My female friend who is a yogini is not by any means the sexiest creature throughout the Milky Way. She is not as busty as Julia Perez or Castano, whoever she is now married to. She is not even close to Sophia Latjuba, her idol. Latjuba is a celebrity she is so desperately aspired to… Continue reading

A Hobbyist Yogi’s Rants
It’s confusing for me to answer questions like:”How long did it take you to master this pose or that pose?” or “Can you now do pose X or pose Y?” or “How’s the progress of your practice? Do you manage to do the advanced options now that you have mastered the basic?” I came… Continue reading

Yoga Gembira Community Featured on Dahsyat
No one thinks “Dahsyat” (literally means “magnificent”) as a serious TV program we yoga community should go to to spread our healthy and balanced lifestyle message. But what is the medium, if you can tell more people about the cause? As you can see, Olga Syahputra was seen in pain doing navasana or boat pose… Continue reading

Stop Thinking B. K. S. Iyengar was Born That Flexible. He was NOT!
B. K. S. Iyengar is widely known for his masterpiece “Light on Yoga”, a thick how-to book that most yogis and yoginis refer to as ‘yoga bible’.
