What if you forget a pose or two

When external systems collapse, the practice becomes meeting what’s actually happening instead of clinging to what was promised

Guys! Let’s start with a BONUS issue focused on handstand, right HERE! Functional Ashtanga Range Conditioning- Handstand A handstand is a line. That’s it. Spine, shoulders, wrists, hips — all stacked. The hard part isn’t strength. It’s that every joint in the chain needs enough range to get there, and most of us are short somewhere. This is the Functional Range Conditioning approach to building one. 🦴 The Big Questions Three joints run the show.

Yoga Filter: Algorithms, Translation, and Who Controls What We Know

Michael Joel Hall reflects on who controls information and how algorithms sort, predict, price, and exclude, arguing they don’t remove bias but relocate it into opaque systems that resemble an old “digital caste” logic. He highlights Matthew Luko’s work translating government bureaucracy as a model for yoga teachers demystifying practice and notes his new “Tech Support Tuesday” answering Ashtanga questions. He connects this to real-world community as an antidote to tech-driven loneliness, describing how the yoga club mirrors “incidental intimacy” found in run clubs and other offline meetups. He then turns to memory research showing scientists can delete or alter mice memories, questioning what happens if suffering is removed, and contrasts deletion with yogic practice: working with samskaras, acceptance, and changing one’s relationship to pain rather than erasing it.

This is Ashtanga Yoga Tech Support. Real questions from the yoga community, answered. The Question submitted by /u/Which-Acanthisitta24 — via r/yoga Our Response Yeah. That's going to happen for a while. Savasana is stillness. And stillness is where grief lives. When you're moving through postures, you've got something to do — breathe here, reach there, balance. Your body is occupied. Then you lie down and there's nothing between you and whatever you're carrying. Of course you cried. That's not a problem with your practice. That is your practice.

Automated systems don’t remove human bias—they move it, and they hide it from view

Automated systems don’t remove human bias they move it, and they hide it from view. I grew up in small-town America. The kind of place where you knew the person behind the counter at the hardware store and bought your milk from someone whose name you could actually remember. It wasn’t romantic — it was just how commerce worked. You exchanged money for goods, and nobody was quietly adjusting your price based on what phone you carried or how long you lingered in the dairy aisle. That world is vanishing.
