What is Heavy Metal Yoga
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 8. 07. 2024
- You may have recently heard about this "death metal yoga" trend and wondered about the purpose of rage yoga. Not only that, but why would someone do heavy metal yoga to begin with? As I mention in the video, I don't want to come from a place of "right" and "wrong" regarding the point of heavy metal yoga (FYI - rage yoga/heavy metal yoga/death metal yoga are all interchangeable) as everyone is walking their own path in this life.
So why would someone do rage yoga? Well, I imagine that they might resonate more with a loud and gruff lifestyle - surely by now we've all heard about the benefits of yoga, but these folks feel more comfortable blending yoga with the interests they already subscribe to.. to define heavy metal yoga, it's wearing black rock n roll clothing, listening to metal music, swearing and flipping up the middle finger while doing yoga poses.. lol.
The purpose of heavy metal yoga, I believe, is to serve as a powerful emotional release. Yes, traditional yoga can offer that too, though the methodology is considerably less aggressive that what appears to be offered in a rage yoga defined class.
I'd be interested to hear how the actual practitioners would define death metal yoga and to ask them "why would you do heavy metal yoga?" Even though it's not traditional yoga, I think any reason someone steps onto their mat is a good one, even if I don't personally subscribe to the point of rage yoga.
It's natural to wonder whats metal yoga versus other forms of yoga.. remember the time when beer yoga was a thing? Strange indeed, haha. To explain heavy metal yoga, well, perhaps it would make more sense to watch a clip of it online to really get an idea of what it entails, and you'd see death metal yoga defined in a nutshell.
Also, what is rage yoga to the practitioner? Perhaps the folks actually doing it view it in a different way than a practitioner of traditional yoga. Another curiosity.. is heavy metal yoga defined as "real" yoga? In my opinion, in short, I'd say no, because they're taking only elements of traditional yoga and blending it with other elements that are not yoga, such as yelling, swearing, throwing up the bird, and so on. However, that's not to say that I don't believe that the practioners enjoy their own benefits from the energetic release of their take on the practice.

Would you try this if it was offered in your city? If so, why would you do rage yoga? Why not? And can it be considered "yoga" at all?
As always, it's a curious discussion around some of these unique trends and I'm interested to see what your thoughts are! Drop 'em in the comments section below.

Would you try heavy metal yoga if it was offered in your city? đ
heavy metal and yoga are sin.

I'd go to watch and record, but I wouldn't last more than 3-5 minutes in that kind of environment without panicking and needing weeks to recover. I can't believe people would expose themselves to that chaos, and I used to be a metal guitarist.
This sounds fucking perfect. If something unorthodox can be someone's entry point into yogic exploration, FUCKING AWESOME. SHOUT OUT TO YOU FOR CHOOSING PANTERA AS YOUR EXAMPLE! I totally get the separation of traditional practices and new ones. Just remember that if we always did things as theyve always been done, or "supposed" to be done, we never would have link wray poking holes in his speaker cones to deliberately produce the now ubiquitous guitar distortion tone that has been instrumental in allowing young musicians to express themselves more authentically, thus inspiring subsequent generations to do the same and to keep pushing boundaries. I understand that practicing yoga is a holistic lifestyle choice and path of development, but this non-conformist concept of rage yoga is extremely appealing to me!!!
I get that! Clearly it was created for a reason and has its own fandom. I honestly thought that the majority of people would think that the heavy metal yoga concept was really silly and too far away from the traditional lineages but it's proven to be the other way around by farrrr! So many people are in the same camp as you and find it really appealing haha. I think there's definitely something to be said about the non-conformist way of doing certain things that's a huge part of the draw..
So interesting!!!!!! Love people who explore new things, thanks for sharing Kinga.
Awesome to hear you enjoyed the topic and conversation! Thanks for checking it out!
I sure would đSounds like my type of yoga. I never knew this existed! Thanks for sharing!!
I'm sure there are still other types that I haven't heard about myself yet, lol!
I love yoga and had never heard of heavy metal yoga. Thanks for sharing!
Happy to share about it! Thanks for watching!
I didnât even know there was different kinds of yoga đ€Ż. Very informative
Yes! There are SO many different styles, even traditional lineages, much less these moderns "trends". :)
A different twist of yoga. Thanks for sharing. It's definitely worth trying.
One of many twists on yoga that are out there - something for everyone ;) Thanks for watching!
I've never heard of this type of yoga. Very interesting!! :D Letting it all out sounds nice
Haha letting it all out is important for our sanity! In healthy ways, of course :)
KINGA!!! I could get used to this type of yoga. Great video!!!đ
Haha I appreciate the enthusiasm!! Thanks!

You have such an energetic personality! Love it! I also like your background - looks so cool :)!
Thank you đ I decorated my wall specifically for the YT set haha I'm glad you like it!
Iâve never heard of heavy metal yoga before. Sounds fun
Different strokes for different folks, no doubt! Would you try it?
I've never even heard of heavy metal yoga! OMG so cool. Thank you for the great info!
Haha it's interesting isn't it! Would you try it?
@@KingaGorski TOTALLY
Thank you for sharing this obscure yoga!!
Thanks for checking it out, boo đ
oh I have NEVER heard of this and loved to listen and hear it from you ! Subscribed too.
Thanks so much! Happy to have you in the community :)
Haha I wish you were talking in a pirate accent! Really good to know about yoga being so fluid with whatever you like!
Haha! I'd need to work on a pirate accent a little bit more before throwing it down to live forever on the internet đ
Thats so interesting I've never heard of heavy metal yoga but I completely agree with you. To each their own.
Exactly, as long as you're not hurting yourself or anyone else.. party on Wayne đ
She is real authentic yoga teacher
Much love fellow yogi đ
I definitely get some more Yoga in. Thank you
Thank you for watching!
Never heard of heavy metal yoga before! That's awesome how much you learn from the world of CZcams. Thank you!
Haha right! The school of CZcams never fails to teach me something new every dang day đ
Interesting. I didn't even know this was a thing. I'm intrigued. Thanks for this!
I know right, there are so many random things out in the world lol. My pleasure in sharing!
I just came up with this in my head and had to see if it already existed!
No small coincidences đ Awesome that your thought led you here!
damn, I need to do some rage yoga! Super interesting video, thanks for sharing :)
Haha thereâs something for everyone - Iâm sure itâd offer a significant release đ€ thanks Nicole!
Bonjour mon ami Kinga Gorski.
belle vidĂ©o, bonne chanceđđđ
Merci :)
@@KingaGorski good luck
Cheers! đ
Heavy Metal Yoga! Something interesting to explore.
Hah, yeah add it to the list of strange yoga trends!
Iâve been lifting but would love to get more into yoga as well! Thanks for sharing!!
I love weights as well, any way to move the body is great, and yoga is amazing because it's so low impact, works on strength, flexibility and overall functional mobility
never heard of this before.. super cool
It appears most people haven't! Would you try it?
I never even knew rage yoga was a thing! Love it!
Right! A wee bit random haha.
This would be a good song to do heavy metal yoga to:

Lolllllllll well played đ€
Great vid btw. Love hearing you speak!!
Thanks buddy! And as always I appreciate your support!
Hey Kinga! I appreciate the video on metal yoga. While you mention some things that may be true for certain teachers, I feel your summary of metal yoga wildly misrepresents what really happens in class and what the main point is. Yeah, sometimes there's swearing, punching, flipping the bird. But the purpose of metal yoga is to, as we say at Black Widow Yoga, "Honor Your Darkness", and allow yourself to feel the range of things we are meant to feel. Metal yogis and metal yoga teachers are not as "kitchy" as you're making it out to sound.
That being said, you are more than welcome to come to our classes linked in our welcome video, or check out a previous class from our CZcams library.
Hey there! Thanks for taking the time to check out my video, and for sharing more of your firsthand experience and perspective on metal yoga. I'm always open to expanding my own lens, and I do believe you're offering a meaningful service to your practitioners in "honouring their darkness". I appreciate the invitation to check out some of your classes on CZcams, I'll be sure to take up your offer on that and see more of what you're up to. Wishing you an amazing holiday season ahead. Namaste. :-)
whooaaaaaaa i LOVE THIS!
Haha would you try it?
This is such a unique concept I've never heard of heavy metal yoga! So interesting! I like your perspective and the alternatives you suggest â€ïž
Thanks so much Naza! It's quite the creative take on yoga hey? Lol. ;)
Superb..hod bless you dear frnd..đđđđâ€đ„°
Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words! đ
I agree 100% my mother was a yoga instructor back in the 70âs so I grew up with the practice and the ways.
Right! I'm admittedly surprised by the amount of people who are actually keen to try this out at some point!
I love YOGA but never heard of Heavy Metal Yoga. Interesting. I agree 100% with you... adding these other actions to oneâs yoga practice will take away from the real benefits of yoga and itâll be too distracting (at least for me) in my opinion. I learned something new thanks to your video.
It can be a layered conversation for sure, as yoga is very much about non-judgment as well. The traditional yoga practice is what it is, although who's to say what's right for someone else if they enjoy the heavy metal yoga and receive benefit from it? Thanks for your thoughtful comment :)
I think Kinga would agree when I say, pay attention to the basics.
Agreed, Ed!
Love the idea of Heavy Metal Yoga! lol, can't beat an 'F'bomb to feel better. Love your energy, great video
Admittedly this yogi enjoys a good Fbomb on occasion too lol. Human first, teacher second I always say. :)
Great Content! Different strokes for different folks! Big thumbs up from a fellow creatorđđ
Haha absolutely those strokes be different for everyone. Thanks for swinging by, appreciate it! âïž
Very interesting video!
I appreciate you watching!
Lovely video my friend đđ€â€đ LIKE
Thanks for the love!
OMG, lol! I haven't heard of this, swear like a sailor! :D All very "metal element." Haha, you're funny! :D Subscribed!
Lol, thanks Pauline! I always try to make it edu-taining đŹ
There's a class for everyone!! haha New sub!
I truly believe there is haha, thank you! :)
I've never heard of this type of Yoga would love to try it tho.
I'm fascinated by how much interest there is to actually try it out at some point!
This is my first time hearing of this l! Very interesting though and thanks for the awareness of thisđđŸđđŸ Seems so coolâŒïž
That seems to be the common comment, it's new to everyone apparently lol! It's an interesting idea that's for sure đ
I could totally see how this could help my mental health. That way I'm not swearing while driving while my kids are in the car! (Note: truly, that's the only time I swear!)
No judgment - I don't have kids but I swear fairly regularly, usually outside of the car but sometimes in it too lollll
Hello, i just found your channel and it really helped me out. just one tipp maybe: thumbnails are very small so having small text with a textured background makes it less easym to read and less pop, maybe you should consider removing the slight transperancy of the white box behind your text in the thumbnail and enlarging the text itself, 1/3 is the minimum of space the title should have on a flyer which is also applyable on thumbnails.
Hi! I'm so glad to hear some of my content has been of service to you. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your thoughts - I'll definitely take that into account for future thumbnails. :)
Very insightful. I don't think heavy metal yoga is my jam. I love the peacefulness of Yoga.
Thanks for checking it out! Likewise, I prefer my loud music and yoga to be two separate experiences ;)
This is an interesting take on yoga!
Isn't it though! A lot of peeps seem to be into it!
I tried a couple of yoga classes in London and really enjoyed them. I've never heard of Heavy Metal Yoga! This was an interesting video.
That's great to hear you enjoyed them in London! Thanks for watching :)
Thanks for sharing your opinion. I can't imagine heavy metal yoga because it's such a zen time for me...but to each his own! Movement is good đ§đ»ââïž
Likewise, I'm with you there! Even more athletic yoga practices have a zen to them. Movement is great!
I love heavy metal and Yoga but not together. Have watched several video's so far not impressed. You make some valid points which is why I am completely agreeing with you. They each have a purpose in my life. Not together.
Thanks for watching and sharing some of your insights, Rebekah! Iâm rowing in the same canoe đ¶đ€
Great Video I subscribeđ. Happiness and Wealth Success đ.
Great Watch looking forward for next update
my friend Abundance Prosperity.
Thank you so much for joining our community here - your support is appreciated!
Wow I never heard of heavy metal yoga before! Lol @ swearing while doing yoga
Haha I may have sworn silently to myself before, like in my head.. but yeah to do it outwardly is a little extra đ
à€ à€žà€€à„ à€źà€Ÿ à€žà€Šà„à€à€źà€Ż à„€

haha i may actually try that. maybe its what i need!!!
You think so? Maybe it is, only you would know best lol ;)
OMG I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! You're in Vancouver (I am too)? Do you teach at a studio out here?
Heya! Yes I'm in Vancouver! I teach mostly private and corporate yoga but I have a couple weekly classes at Oxygen Yoga & Fitness Kitsilano :)
@@KingaGorski no way, I've been there a few times! I'll definitely check for one of your classes!
@@BodybyBiggie Hey girl! That's amazing you've been there before, I love that studio :) So heads up, sudden change on my end - I've actually just made the decision today that I won't be returning to the studio at this time due to the current health situation and whatnot. O2 Kits is still reopening first week of July and they're implementing several protocols to keep everyone as safe as possible, so my choice is *not* due to any lack on their part; it just feels best in my conscience to not return right now, but I appreciate your support and willingness to come and say "hey" in person! Maybe we'll cross paths in the future! Til then, I'ma still see you in this online space :)
Mother F#$king hamstrings, yeah!!! đđđ That's great lol
LOL Clifford I've definitely heard something along those lines from my friends and students before.. maybe even myself đ
@@KingaGorski lol nice!!đđđ
cool
Thanks for watching!
Goat yoga next! Thank you for this. Swear yoga! That's how I yoga.
Ha! I had goat yoga (there's also farm yoga that I think includes more variety of animals?) in mind for a future video.. my gahd, so strange lol
Hiee this side Rohit khandelwal ...is it possible to once communicate with you
is there a new content?
Hi Krzysztof, thanks for your interest in my content! YES - there will absolutely be new videos coming to CZcams, though later this year 2022. I've taken the last 1.5 years off building an online course that I'll be launching later this year (hopefully before Summer đ€) Stay tuned!
Lol. No I wouldn't try this. Gotta love these fads, huh? Seems to be missing the point by just a wee bit. I wish Patanjali could weigh in on this. Haha.
Haha, nor would I. It's fascinating to see what folks come up with, different twists and turns on traditional practices. Not that it's necessarily a bad thing..? Yeah I wonder what Patanjali would have to say about it lol. ;)
When she said "smash room", a totally different picture came to my mind đ. If you know what I mean, shame on you! đ
She's pretty
I had never heard of heavy metal yoga before! Sounds super interesting! Thanks for sharing! :)
My pleasure - thanks so much for checking it out!
