How can kink/BDSM reflect the practices that go on in our modern yogic communities, where power plays abound? I spoke to someone on the kink scene to find out a little more about how self-aware practitioners combat consent issues.
When attending yoga, you might choose to go to a class in a yoga studio, a gym, or a community-driven class in a church hall or similar. But what if you’re finding a particular pose hard, and you can’t catch the teacher afterwards, or you’re not getting what you need from those gym classes, you might like to consider hitting someone you like up for a private sesh.

When practicing yoga, you may have been guided to micro-bend your knees or elbows, in order to avoid hyper-extending (or ‘locking’) into the joint. But what does this actually mean?
Knee pain is a common complaint in yoga classes and beyond, but you might be surprised to discover that quite often, the culprit is, in fact, not the knees at all, but instead, your hips and your bum.
I just wanted to talk a bit about downward-facing dog, because, well, it's a really hard yoga pose, and one of the most well-known out there. If I had a pound for every time someone told me they couldn't stay in it, or that they'd left a yoga class after the teacher harassed them for not being able to do so, I'd be... well, not rich, but I could buy a Nandos?
