This is Ashtanga Yoga Tech Support. Real questions from the yoga community, answered. The Question I have taken Ashtanga class from a yoga teacher before for 3 months. She had to move to another place and so I had been doing it by playing Ashtanga Primary series on YouTube. I wasn't consistent with this due to various reasons. One of the reasons was that I got bored doing the same sequence. I am now good with the standing poses but the sitting poses and headstand are all still hard for me.

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.

This is Ashtanga Yoga Tech Support. Real questions from the yoga community, answered. The Question I'm keeping this question intentionally open ended. I'm curious if yoga has helped you in your relationships, including the physical benefits but also the mindset of love/lust/romance etc. Has it had any impact on your libido (increased/decreased), stamina, satisfaction, cravings, connection with your partner, calming the mind of outside temptations etc.

Pratyahara isn’t about escaping the world—it’s about reclaiming agency over what gets in

There’s a pattern running through this week that has nothing to do with asana. It’s about what happens when your nervous system becomes a data point—and what yoga practice offers in response.Start with the divide between those who build algorithmic systems and those who get processed by them. One group sets parameters. The other gets reduced to inputs and outputs. Then look at Gen Z women drowning in anxiety—forty percent wanting to leave the country, a third anxious almost all the time. Economic precarity, climate doom, and the relentless hum of being constantly online.

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.

Choose funeral options with transparency and local care—prioritize honest data, ecosystem impact, and rituals that serve grief over glossy promises.

We love a redemptive ending. The body returns to soil, a tree grows from the grave, death becomes compost. Green funerals promise exactly this: natural burials, human composting, alkaline hydrolysis, even those biodegradable pods that turn you into a sapling. It’s beautiful. It’s also complicated. Hannah Gould and Georgina Robinson wrote something sharp about this in Aeon. They’re not against ecological burial—they’re against the way it gets sold. The marketing is sleek. The data is often thin. Some of these technologies are still aspirational, others oversimplify genuine trade-offs.

Yoga and AI alike invite us to notice how we animate the forms we inhabit—and what parts of ourselves are reflected back.

Duan suggests its our presence that animates technologyjust as attention brings asana to life on the mat. From Is AI really consciousor are we bringing it to life? on scientificamerican.com
