The stress of the modern corporate world is usually a counterproductive thing, it puts people on a knife-edge and frequently leads to mistakes that a calmer more relaxed person would not make. Yoga is known to be one of the most effective forms of stress relief. Yoga is a special type of discipline that can be utilised on a number of different levels, places and situations. A perfect example is the Yoga breathing exercises such as Anulem and Vinolum. These are used to calm the thought process and allow you to maintain focus when overwhelmed with too much information or too many thoughts and problems at once. And because they are merely a deep and focused way of breathing they can be performed sitting in a chair, standing in an elevator or even while driving a car. Cramps and bad back posture are also often treated with nothing more than a steady breathing exercise with some quite spectacular results in some cases.

The simplicity of being taught to breath properly may strike some corporates as strange. Nobody teaches us to breath, or sit or even stand. These are simple things that we spend our whole day doing, yet at no point in our lives are we actively taught them. Incorrect posture when sitting is a very serious problem if you are in front of a monitor all day, but simply learning the correct way to breath can align your body properly and solve many of the problems associated with this bad posture. If you take deep breathes and focus on them your body is pulled in to shape by this most natural of human movements.

Where specific problems such as Obesity or joint pain are present, a Yoga class can be specially tailored to address them. Blood pressure problems and ailments of the kidney can be treated with Yogic Kriyas. Poor agility is a result of poor balance and this issue is frequently confronted and quickly overcome with a range of balance-enhancing Yoga exercises. Some people who have reported daily occurrences of problems like anger, tension, hypertension, stress and headaches have achieved very good results simply from using Yoga to it’s full potential. The increased flexibility that Yoga provides is a godsend for people in sedentary job environments.

The mental advantages of Yoga are also quite clear. Yoga has an ability to redirect our thinking to a more positive frame. The most common form of Yoga used in corporate stress management is Hatha Yoga because it is a particularly potent form of physiological and psychological cleansing. In any environment stress is a normal occurrence, what differentiates a successful person from an unsuccessful one (and by extension a successful business from an unsuccessful one) is how we deal with that stress. Hatha Yoga, and Yoga in general provide executives with the tools they need to deal with stress on a daily basis.

Some businesses will go as far as getting a staff medical done and passing the results on to a Yoga instructor who will formulate a customized program for an individual based on their health needs. Different Yoga techniques deal with different problems and a qualified instructor will be able to find those best suited to an individual’s personal situation. Through recognizing Yoga’s ability to deal with the individual needs of employees and incorporating it into part of the daily work schedule businesses are creating a happier work environment and being rewarded by their employees by increased productivity and a greater loyalty and appreciation of their employer.

Even among lightworkers and healers, many are finding it increasinglydifficult to rise above the persistent negativity. I have heard manyhighly evolved people say that they are feeling an increasednervousness, uncertainty, or a reluctance to act.

In society at large, there are more advertisements than ever forpharmaceutical sleep aids, mood lifters and sex-enabling drugs. Drugand alcohol abuse and addictions are on the rise. Many people arecaught up in addictive thought patterns, worry, doubt, fear or otherforms of neurosis. These dangerous habits of thought have become partof our collective psyche.

Many of us have a sense that we have a higher purpose, but are notquite sure what we are being called to do, and the uncertainty makesus restless and unsettled.

Whatever the symptoms, it is essential for our collective welfare thatwe move beyond the malaise, melt away the fear, and thereby move intoa more peaceful and more gratifying way of living.

Yoga can and will help, guaranteed.

Why Yoga?

Quite simply, yoga makes us feel better. Not just temporarily. Yogahas the power to rewire the circuitry so that we become happier,healthier, more peaceful and more loving human beings.

Yoga is just one of many paths that, with focused attention andpractice leads to enlightenment. Enlightenment is simply a remembranceof the truth of who we are.

It is this realization of the truth of our being that so many peoplecrave. And it is the absence of unconditional love in our own heartsthat obscures the truth of our being. We forget who we are when wethink that we are separate from others and from the universe. It isthe prevailing sense of separation that yoga heals, at the cellularlevel. When we see the truth of our being — our connection toeverything — the fear disappears. The desire to numb ourselves slipsaway. Humanity evolves.

This realization may not be immediate. For many, it is gradual andhappens at deeper and deeper levels. The important thing is that ithappens.

Be Still, My Mind

“The power of now” is a great concept, but how many of us have triedto stay in the present moment, or meditate, only to have the mind takeoff like a jackrabbit or the body scream in discomfort or restlessness.

In fact, our lives on the material plane, which rely so heavily onsensory perceptions and body gratification, seem designed to keep usharnessed to the ego. Our society in large part is designed toreinforce the ego’s misidentification with “my body,” “my stuff.” Butwe are not our bodies. And we are not our stuff. Yoga allows us toresonate with our own true nature rather than with the ego’sperceptions of who we are.

A consistent yoga practice will actually still the disturbances of themind. In this way, yoga is a valuable spiritual practice, especiallyat this time in our collective evolution.

Yoga’s ability to still the mind allows us to see more clearly thetruth of our being and thereby feel true happiness. The happier weare, the better off we are. This is not selfish. On the contrary. Ifwe are to heal the mass neurosis of our times, we have a God-givenobligation to feel good.

As a friend once said to me: “If I knew feeling good felt so good, Iwould have made it a point to feel good a long time ago.”

I encourage anyone who has not developed a disciplined and holisticspiritual practice by now to look into yoga. Try a few poses on yourown or go to a yoga class, and sit for meditation. It might not feelentirely right at first, or it might be love at first asana.

Whatever the case, yoga can’t not work. If yoga is a practice thatresonates with you, you may be about to embark on a life-long loveaffair that will transform your life and the planet.

Namaste!

Yoga has been practiced by ancient mystics and philosophers for thousands of years. Most people who hear the word yoga immediately think that this particular activity is simply a way to increase flexibility. In reality however, yoga offers so many more health benefits.  Aside from its weight loss properties, yoga is also known to offer certain preventative medicine properties.

People who undergo regular yoga training can expect to see health improvements in the following areas: balance, back pain, bowel function, lung capacity, weight loss, psychological health, cholesterol levels, bone strength, and menopausal symptoms. A yogi, which is a reference to someone who does yoga, can also experience reduced joint pain, increased stamina, and greater overall strength. Certain other studies have shown that people who are involved in this particular physical activity can benefit from improved sleep. So as you can see yoga offers medicinal benefits far beyond flexibility. Therefore, the next questions we may ask are “how can I get involved” and “what do I need to get started?”

Well, there are different ways that you can become a part of the yoga community. You can either try it on your own or with a group of people. When trying yoga on your own you will need to purchase a rubber mat and an instructional video. Once you have purchased the necessary equipment, the beginner’s video will lead you step by step through the process. However, if you would rather make yoga a more social event, the gym might be the place for you. Almost all gyms currently offer yoga classes for beginners as well for the experienced individuals. In this case you may not have to purchase the rubber mat; all you are responsible for is the monthly gym membership. So if you ever wanted to improve your overall health or simply lose weight and increase flexibility, yoga is the activity for you!

How to choose the right Yoga Mat?

Edit Article |

Posted: Oct 30, 2010 |

You need a solid, supporting surface to exercise on, and for that reason, we recommend that you use a yoga mat for your safety. Mats give you padding, comfort, and protection, especially for your knees and spine. However, it isn’t necessary to have a yoga mat when you do yoga-with-weights exercises. You can exercise on a solid, non-slippery, close-weave type of carpet or clean, dry floor.

If you’re taking a yoga-with-weights class in a gym, we recommend bringing your own mat for hygiene purposes. Most gyms offer yoga mats, but they can get very sweaty. Rolling around in your own sweat is much more agreeable and hygienic than rolling around in a stranger’s sweat.

When you shop for a yoga mat, look for one that stretches a little and gives you good support. Like Goldilocks’s porridge, the mat shouldn’t be too thick or too thin. Mats range from a fraction of an inch to an inch deep, but depth isn’t the real issue — cushioning is. The idea is to get some relief from the hard floor, and although comfort is fine, a spongy mat can be a nuisance because it doesn’t give you a solid base to work on. For your purposes, a quarter- to half-inch-thick mat is best because it offers comfort and stability; if you’re uncomfortable sitting on the floor or on your knees, get a mat that’s on the thick side. Also, the mat should be as long as you are tall plus about 6 inches; in other words, if you’re 5’6″, find a 6-foot yoga mat.

Don’t select a foam mat; they’re too thick and too short for yoga-with-weights exercises. Foam mats are made for aerobic exercising.

In the yoga community, some ecology-minded practitioners object to using synthetic materials. You can now buy natural rubber mats and mats made from hemp. These mats are considered more “earth friendly.” Look for a dense, sturdy mat without a slippery surface.

Due to the popularity of yoga, every Tom, Dick, and Harriet has gotten into the yoga-mat business, and some manufacturers don’t really know what they’re doing. People in our yoga classes often complain about the yoga mats they’ve purchased because the mats wear down quickly, slide across the floor during exercises, and get slippery from sweat. We recommend mats made by Airex, Tapas, and Prana; you can buy these mats at sporting goods stores, and the appendix explains where you can find them on the Internet.

Iyengar Yoga Can Promote Well-Being in Women Breast Cancer Survivors:

Edit Article |

Posted: Nov 24, 2009 |Comments: 1
|

Breast cancer is the most prevalent type of invasive cancer attacking women in the United States. Last year alone some 213,000 women were diagnosed with the disease. The good news is that two million women have survived. Many women with breast cancer seek complementary interventions that will enhance their quality of life. Yet research is lacking whether these programs such as yoga, also benefit immune function.

Breast cancer is the most prevalent type of invasive cancer attacking women in the United States. Last year alone some 213,000 women were diagnosed with the disease. The good news is that two million women have survived. Many women with breast cancer seek complementary interventions that will enhance their quality of life. Yet research is lacking whether these programs such as yoga, also benefit immune function.

A new study of breast cancer survivors practicing Iyengar yoga – a form of yoga that incorporates all of the components of physical fitness and focuses on structural alignment of the body as well as mental relaxation – has found that breast cancer survivors who practice yoga have changes in the way their immune cells respond to activation signals, which may be important for understanding how physical activity and meditative practices benefit the immune system. The function of genes in immune cells can be regulated by proteins called transcription factors. Transcription factor nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-? B) is linked to immune cell activation and to the stress response.

Active practice of Iyengar yoga, named for its creator B.K.S. Iyengar, differs from the gentle restorative practices typically offered to cancer survivors as it can include all the components of physical fitness. The active practice of âsanas (postures) can incorporate cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility and balance.

Nineteen women, average age 61 years, diagnosed with stage I-III breast cancer and receiving ant estrogen or aromatize inhibitor hormonal therapy participated in the study. Time since diagnosis was approximately four years. None had any experience with Iyengar yoga. The subjects were randomized to either yoga (n=10) or a wait-list control group (n=9).

Beginning level Iyengar yoga classes were conducted two times per week for eight weeks and included the following yoga poses: standing poses, chest and shoulder openers; and inversions. The women were given a home instruction sheet to practice once a week at home a week at home for a total of three yoga sessions per week.

A survey of the subjects demands of illness and a blood sample to determine lymphocyte NF-?B activation were collected prior to and following the intervention.

Hatha Yoga- Could This Ancient Wisdom Be The Perfect Modern Day Stress Management Technique

Edit Article |

Posted: Feb 15, 2010 |Comments: 0
|

There are a myriad of different styles of yoga classes available to us today. From Bikram and Ashtanga to Hot Yoga. A good starting place is Hatha Yoga which incorporates all aspects of the practice from breathing and meditation to Yoga poses. Hatha yoga is a very effective stress management tool that can help the practitioner relax deeply.

Yoga, like many other practices on earth seems to evolve over time with different peoples adapting a particular style that befits them. Originating from ancient India, Yoga has spread its wings far and wide and today it has followers all over the world. The west for example abound with people who practice it. The westerners seem to prefer a style of Yoga known as Hatha Yoga. This term of course originates from the Sanskrit language and is a composite of two words. Ha- sun and Tha – moon. This suggests that the practice of this form of Yoga is a union between the sun and the moon. The suggestion we get here is a union of opposites for the common good. The mind and the body come together and the result is peace of mind, strength and vitality.

The practice of this class of Yoga is mainly concerned with the physical aspects of yoga and a lot of emphasis is laid on learning and practicing postures, learning breathing techniques and the practice of meditation. There are different energy flows in the body and this practice aims at teaching individuals on how to attain a perfect balance of these. You get to learn on different postures that will be an outcome of knowing how to control movements, conscious breathing, deep concentration together with flexibility. It is estimated that there are over 200 different kinds of postures that can be learned for practice.

When practiced optimally, Yoga exercises are able to help reduce stress by easing your tense muscles, tone up your bodies internal organs and can even improve the flexibility of your body’s many joints. You get to learn to perform each posture slowly and carefully and they range from the simple to the complex, but you move progressively. Learning the movements may take a little time but the results you gat are actually worth the patience you must practice. There usually are no violent movements that could easily lead to the build up of lactic acid.

Yoga meditation is a very vast and effective meditation technique. It requires your mind to focus on any one thing and control its thought process. Yoga meditation is a powerful meditation technique that anyone can use to increase physiological balance, clarity of mind and awareness. Yoga meditation is not merely about the physical postures. The modern day Yoga class focus on merely the postures. Anyone who has taken a few yoga classes will attest that even the gentlest series of yoga postures, if gone through under the guidance of an experienced teacher in a pleasant environment, can make you feel much better at the end of a yoga session than you did at the beginning. The yoga practice is merely more than a structure of physical exercise for health. It was an ancient course to spiritual growth which originated from India it is widely practiced.Come to Yoga retreats to leave behind a world that is hectic and fruitlessly runs after materialistic things that might have no value at all. Rather communicate and connect with the inner self and be relaxed and happy all the time. All of this and much more is possible at the wonderful Yoga retreats.

Safe Yoga is different from traditional yoga in that the poses link in a fluid heat-building way. Breath is linked with movements heating your body the natural way and without chemicals. Rest is encouraged whenever required. Warm ups are very important as fitness rooms are usually chilly. Warm up the body totally with large body moves before participating in any complex or flexibility oriented posture.In modern times it has become a money making industry around the globe. In the western world today, it is used to help improve a persons health with exercise in the form of yoga positions and poses, to make the body more flexible and to help with the control of the body and mind by the individual.

What causes this feeling, which can actually border on euphoria? Recent science points to several causes of the “feel-good” effect.The modern yoga is associated mainly in practicing Asanas. It came from the Sanskrit term “Asana” or practicing the corporal postures or poses of yoga itself. Every Asana pose has its distinctive benefits and is held for a period of time and is coordinated with breathing exercise. Its full session has a combination of relaxation, meditation and Pranayama (breath control).The asana should be steady and light. The breath is the key, and will indicate with either a steady breath, or an erratic one, or not at all, as in holding the breath. In the last two cases, the body is not comfortable in the position, and the mind will not be steady either. Such health benefits are numerous, but what mainly draws people towards laughter clubs is a simple realization that they seldom laugh and they want to laugh more.Yoga is still immensely popular all over the world as a physical fitness regimen primarily because of the strength and flexibility gained by regular practice.

The Benefits Of Using Yoga Mats

Edit Article |

Posted: Oct 02, 2010 |Comments: 0
|

Yoga mats are utilized for people who would like to practice yoga, an exercise routine that channels a person’s energy into creative areas. These slim cushions are shaped like rectangles. The Yoga Mats aid your yoga ritual by getting rid of slippage while you carry out various poses and movements. They can also characterize your own space as you exercise.

There are various kinds of exercise mats used for yoga which are available for practicing yoga positions. The mats are typically made from cotton, though they could sometimes be made from animal skins. In today’s world, however, the majority of mats are composed of synthetic materials that are decomposable and thus are eco friendly.

The mats are usually 24 to 68 inches long. Their thickness spans from 4 to 5 mm. As should be expected, thicker, longer, and wider varieties can be found at most yoga outlets. Individuals are recommended to purchase mats that can easily accommodate the size of their bodies.

For the best yoga routine and experience, you need to make sure that the mat you buy could be cleaned. Bacteria forms after many yoga classes where you end up sweating. You therefore have to ensure that dirt could be removed from the mat with no problem, that it could be washed either by machine or hand, or that you can use a cleaner that is specifically made to clean yoga mats. It is critical that your mat, as important as it is to the yoga experience, is kept in decent condition.

Your yoga sessions will be furthermore enriched by a mat that easily rolls up, in the event that you desire to carry it to and from classes. Most of these could be folded up, and they are ideal even if you do not plan to go outside of your home to practice yoga. Lightweight mats can easily be rolled up, and they do not require a lot of effort to carry.

On a final note, flat lying yoga mats are more comfortable than those which are not flatly laid out. The mat should also have a non-sticky texture that enables you to keep a hold of your grip. Nonetheless, the mat should not be too sticky. This is since once that is too sticky will grip and catch onto your skin. You can squeeze the mat between your thumb and forefinger to ascertain that it is flexible. You should also make certain that you can still grip on to the mat in the event that you have sweaty hands.

In conclusion, yoga mats enhance one’s yoga experience. Following the above tactics will ensure that you find a mat which is very comfortable and suitable for your unique yoga routine.
