Q&A: Jason's Thoughts on Warrior I, Navasana, and "Advanced" Yoga

Jason's back on the podcast this week answering some of the best questions we've gotten in about yoga postures. (Yogaland listeners are a smart, inquisitive bunch!)

We dive into:

* Why he rarely teaches Virabhadrasna I (Warrior I Pose) and how he feels about "squaring" the hips

* What Jason teaches instead of Warrior I (and what a relief it is)

* The differences between Paripurna Navasana (Full Boat Pose) and Ardha Navasna (Half Boat Pose) and which one is better for strengthening the core muscles

* What to do when you can't breathe deeply in twists

* What it means to be an advanced yoga practitioner
