How to practise yoga by yourself?

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.

anyone else find that nidra is the practice they never skip? even more than asana?

This is Ashtanga Yoga Tech Support. Real questions from the yoga community, answered. The Question something I've been thinking about lately I've had an on-and-off asana practice for years. some weeks I'm on the mat every day, other weeks I talk myself out of it constantly. you know how it goes but yoga nidra? every single night. haven't missed in months. it's become the most consistent practice I have by far I think it's because it requires zero activation energy. you're already in bed. you press play. you lie there.

The Reading List That Actually Matters

The Reading List That Actually Matters

The books that change your practice aren’t always the ones everyone mentions—they’re the ones that make philosophy feel like practice.

Someone on Reddit asked where to start learning about yoga philosophy. Simple question. Deep rabbit hole. In a Tech Support post on Ashtanga.tech, we mapped the territory—books that actually deliver, not just the ones everyone mentions because they’re supposed to. There’s a difference. The reading list below isn’t exhaustive. It’s curated. These are the books that keep showing up in studios, on bedside tables, in the hands of teachers who’ve been at this for decades. They’re the ones that don’t just explain yoga—they change how you practice it.

Big Toe Joint Pain in Ashtanga: Risk, Reward, Conditioning

Big Toe Joint Pain in Ashtanga: Risk, Reward, Conditioning

Big toe joint conditioning can be a missing link in Ashtanga yoga, especially when you’re jumping back and putting weight onto a joint that isn’t prepared. In this Shala Daily, we look at why so many practitioners get screened at the big toe joint and what it means for injury risk.

The video explores a practical question: what is the risk-to-reward of big jump-outs, and is it worth it for you? We talk about how the hallux joint can be conditioned, and how that may help you approach hard landings and transitions with more awareness.

Alongside the physical work, the study guide theme is surrender. What can we accept? How do we change perspective and let go when stressors are present, even if others can’t see them? That same acceptance shows up in practice when a flinch or reset appears, even without pain, and you have to acknowledge what’s happening before you can smooth it out.

If you want to learn skills like jump-outs, the message is clear: want what you want, then take calculated risks and do the conditioning work for toes, wrists, and ankles.

Coding Elite and Cybertariat

Coding Elite and Cybertariat

Algorithmic sorting doesn’t just reflect class—it actively produces new forms of social stratification

Jenna Burrell and Marion Fourcade describe an emerging split between what they call the “coding elite” — those who build and control algorithmic systems — and the “cybertariat” — those who are subject to them. This isn’t just a digital divide in the old sense of who has internet access. It’s a divide in who gets to be a subject versus an object in algorithmic systems. The coding elite set the parameters. Everyone else is a data point.

The Digital Poorhouse

The Digital Poorhouse

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.
