Break Through Your Negative Stress with Yoga
Will you be able to manage the stress in your life?
It seems that everyday brings more and more stress. Yoga
is a terrific way to counter all the stressors in today's
fast-paced society.
Now it's clear, not all stress is equal.
All stresses place demands on your life. Stress turns negative if you perceive that demand to be outside of your control.
Yoga is a powerful way to bring control back into your life,
allowing you to change the way you perceive demands reducing negative stress in your life.
Your yoga program will directly confront the negative stress in your life, making you more prepared to take on the demands of positive stress - helping you to grow spiritually, emotionally and intellectually
The more relaxing Hath Yoga could easily be used to wind down from a very stressful day, or you could choose forms of power
Yoga such as Ashtanga where you can loose yourself in yoga poses that help you build strength and stamina.
Too many people turn to harmful methods to help overcome the lack of control in their lives.
They turn to alcohols, cigarettes, overworking, and drugs or simply giving up on their dreams and ambitions in life
will you escape the life of the captive monkey who eventually gives up trying to escape their prison?
Will you open your mind, heart and schedule to Yoga?
Use relaxation yoga to free you from life's negative stress,
you will be amazed at the results.

REDUCE STRESS
Deep breathing is a great way of promoting relaxation and reducing stress. Yoga, meditation, martial arts, and trained voice are some disciplines that recognize the importance and effectiveness of deep breathing. Use the following deep breathing technique during any of the above activities or whenever you want to relax and energize your body. It is natural to breathe using the diaphragm or lower abdomen. If you watch babies, you will see that they breathe this way. As we get older, stress and inactivity cause us to draw shorter, shallower breaths. These short breaths use only the upper chest instead of the lower abdomen. In times of stress the abdominal muscles tense up and make it almost impossible to breathe deeply and naturally. At first, the shock your body feels because of the increased oxygen intake during deep breathing exercises may cause you to feel some dizziness. A short breathing exercise: Close your eyes, and hold your hands over your lower abdomen. Breathe in deeply through your nose while you slowly count to 4. Feel your belly push out on your hands. Let the air in your abdomen expand your belly without any muscle tension. Breathe out through your mouth, feeling your hands moving back into your body. Repeat this pattern until you feel peaceful, calm, and relaxed. You may find it helpful to play calming and relaxing music during this exercise.

BEATING YOUR NECK,BACK AND SHOULDER PAIN
Beating Your Neck, Back and Shoulder Pain
Suffering from neck, back and shoulder pain? If you are, you’re in good company. Millions of people wake up every morning and endure every day experiencing pain in their necks, backs and shoulders. While neck, back and shoulder pain used to be thought of as conditions affecting only adults, due to more parents scheduling routine doctors visits for their kids, it’s becoming increasingly apparent that children and teenagers are also suffering from the symptoms. So if it’s not age that causes this severe discomfort, what is it? Believe it or not, the culprit may be your sleep habits and the position you sleep in.
Each and everyday, you are putting stress on your spine, which directly impacts the tension in your neck, shoulders and back. Even simple, everyday tasks like sitting at a desk, driving, and bending over can contribute to wear on these sensitive parts of your body. Your sleep time is supposed to be the time of day when these areas of your body are allowed to relax and regenerate. However, if your neck isn’t properly supported while you’re sleeping, your body doesn’t have a chance to recover from the stress it endured throughout the day. Improper neck support while sleeping can cause increasingly severe neck, back and shoulder pain over the years, to a point where it becomes unbearable.
Neck, back and shoulder pain can actually begin a vicious cycle. You’re in pain, so you can’t sleep, but you need to sleep (and sleep right), to be able to get rid of the pain. A continuous lack of sleep can even lead to further problems like depression, chronic fatigue, and believe it or not, even weight gain has been linked to a severe lack of proper sleep. Fortunately, scientists and health
professionals take the causes of neck, back and shoulder pain seriously, and have consistently worked towards finding methods and remedies that will alleviate the wretched symptoms.
The first step towards eliminating the discomfort of these symptoms is to correct your sleep habits, and the most important part of this step is to get a pillow that properly supports your neck. Try to find one that is made to be tailored to the position you sleep in, as not all pillows are created equal. Memory foam pillows have been increasing in popularity, and rightfully so. They’ve actually been quite beneficial in relieving neck, back and shoulder pain for a number of people who have been enduring it for years. Massage, yoga, and proper exercise are also methods that have been found to reduce pain in these regions of the body. By incorporating small change like these into your lifestyle, you should have no problem overcoming your ailments.
If a quality elastic pillow doesn’t solve your neck, back and shoulder pain, you might want to schedule an appointment with your doctor as your pain may be a symptom of a more severe underlying condition. Pain is something that affects your entire being, and remedying it quickly is vitally important to your quality of life.

EXCRETORY SYSTEM AND PRANAYAMA
THE IMPORTANT PARTS OF THE EXCRETORY SYSTEM ARE LUNGS,LARGE INTESTINE,KIDNEYS,SKIN ETC. IN THE BODY,CARBON DIOXIDE IS FORMED ALL THE TIME. IN THE SAME WAY, THE EXCRETORY PRODUCTS ARE CONTINUOUSLY EXPELLED FROM THE BODY VIA THE URINE, FAECES,SWEAT AND EXHALED AIR. THE LAYERS OF INNUMERABLE AIR SACS AND THE AREA OF THE BLOOD CAPILLARIES SURROUNDING THEM ARE SO VAST THAT THEY CAN EXPEL CARBON DIOXIDE AND PROVIDE SUFFFICIENT OXYGEN TO THE BODY AND BRAIN. THEIR AREA IS SO VAST THAT,IN COMPARISON,THE AREA OF THE SKIN IS VERY SMALL. ALONGWITH MAN’S INTELLECTUAL ADVANCEMENT, HIS NEED FOR OXYGEN HAS INCREASED. DUE TO THIS, DURING THE PROCESS OF EVOLUTION, THE BREATHING THROUGH THE SKIN MUST HAVE BECOME LESS AND LESS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE LUNGS MUST HAVE BECOME MORE AND MORE TO BECOME THE PRESENT-DAY RESPIRATORY SYSTEM.
DUE TO THE DISCIPLINED, RHYTHMIC AND PROPORTIONAL POORAKA AND RECHAKA IN PRANAYAMA,THERE ARE RHYTHMIC CONTRACTIONS AND EXPANSIONS OF THE BRONCHI,BRONCHIOLES AND AIR-SACS. THESE GIVE THEM THE HABIT OF SYSTEMATIC BREATHING SO THAT, AT OTHER TIMES ALSO,BREATHING CONTINUES IN AN ORDERLY AND BETTER WAY AND THE EXPULSION OF CARBONDIOXIDE,OTHER POISONOUS GASES AND WASTE MATERIAL FROM THE BODY BECOMES EASY. ALSO,IN PRANAYAMA,FULL USE IS MADE OF THE EXTRA RESERVE BREATHING CAPACITY. ONLY DUE TO THE CONSTANT USE OF THIS CAPACITY,IT IS READILY AVAILABE FOR ANY WORK AT ANYTIME,WHENEVER IT IS NEEDED.HENCE,THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM CAN NOT ONLY FUNCTION IN NORMAL LIFE BUT IS EVER-READY TO SUCCESSFULLY FACE EVEN VERY CRUCIAL SITUATIONS.
IN POORAKA, THE AIR SACS ARE COMPLETELY FILLED WITH AIR. IN KUMBHAK THEY ASSUME STHE ‘AIR-FILLED’ SPACES, LIKE BALOONS AND SUSTAIN THE SAME UPTO THE END OF THE KUMBHAKA,AS PER THEIR CAPACITIES. IN RECHAKA,THE MOVEMENTS ARE PERFORMED LIKE THE ‘PAYMENT THROUGH THE BUCKET’ACTION [IN BOMBAY AND OTHER BIG CITIES,THOSE STAYING ON THE 2ND AND 3RD FLOORS MAKE TRANSACTIONS OF TAKING MATERIALS [LIKE VEGETABLES ETC] AND PAYING MONEY THROUGH BASKETS WHICH ARE LOWERED AND RAISED WITH THE HELP OF THE ROPES TIED TO THEM. WHILE LOWERING THE BASKET IT HAS TO BE LOWERED VERY SLOWLY],WHILE RELAXING THE MUSCLES,IF SUCH CONTROLLED AND SLOW MOVEMENTS ARE THERE,THEN THESE ARE CALLED’ PAYING THROUGH THE BUCKET ACTION’.THESE MMOVEMENTS BRING FLEXIBILITY,FIRMNESS AND MUSCLE TONE TO THE MUSCLES AND,DUE TO THIS,THEIR MINUTE AND DELICATE COVERINGS[LAYERS]ALSO BECOME FLEXIBLE AND FULL OF TONE. DUE TO SCH CONTROLLED AND DISCIPLINED CONTRACTIONS AND EXPANSIONS,THE UNDESIRABLE SIDE EFFECT SUCH AS EXCESSIVE EXPANSION AND INFLAMMATION OF AIR-SACS[EMPHYSEMA] WHICH OCCURS IN EXERCISES DONE IN A COMPETITIVE SPIRIT[ESPECIALLY,WEIGHT LIFTING,DOING STRENUOUS WORK,FAST RUNNING ETC.] DO NOT OCCUR IN PRANAYAMA. ON THE CONTRARY, THESE CONDITONS WHICH CAN OCCUR IN EXERCISES CAN BE AVOIDED BY THE PRACTICE OF PRANAYAMA

THE RELATIONSHIP OF BREATHING
THE RELATIONSHIP OF BREATHING
WITH THE PHYSIQUE
JUST AS THE BREATING IS CONNECTED WITH THE SUBTLE MIND, IN THE SAME MANNER, THE BREATHING IS ALSO CONNECTED WITH THE GROSS BODY AND EACH AND EVERY OF ITS SYSTEMS. WHEN THE BREATHING BECOMES DEEP AND FAST, BLOOD CIRCULATION ALSO BECOMES FAST. WHEN THE BLOOD STARTS FLOWING QUICKLY IN THE BODY,EACH AND EVERY CELL AND TISSU IN THE BODY GETS TH VSN OF ENERGY.IF THEY BECOME STRONG,THEN THE BODY PARTS SUCHAS THE BODY SYSTEMS,CIRCULATORY SYSTEMS,GLANDULAR SYSTEMS,DIGESTIVE SYSTEM,EXCRETORY SYSTEM,MUSCULAR SYSTEM, BONY SYSTEM,LYMPHATIC SYSTEM ETC.WHICH ARE THE CONSTITUENTS OF THE BODY BECOME ENERGISED,STRENGTHENED AND ACTIVE.
ON THE CONTRARY, WHEN THERE ARE MOVEMENT OF THE BODY, THERE IS BURNING OF ENERGY[CALORIES]. THE NETWORK OF MUSCULAR TISSUES WOULD THEN NEED ENERGY.THEIR MSSAGS EACH OTHER BODY SYSTEMS THROUGH THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. BLOOD CIRCULATION IS QUICKENED. BREATHING BECOMES FAST. THE DEGESTIVE SYSTEM AND EXCRETORY SYSTEM COME TO THE RESCUE OF THIS MPORTANT WORK, EVEN BY STOPPING SOME OF THEIR OWN FUNCTIONS. MIND BECOMES ALERT. IN OTHER WORDS, MOVEMENTS OF MUSCLES BRING ABOUT MOVEMENTS IN THE MIND ALSO.
MIND, BREATHING, BODY SYSTEMS AND THEIR SMALL AND LARGE PARTS ARE ALL LINKED WITH EACH OTHER. THIS ARRANGEMENT IS COMPOSED OF MANY CIRCUITS. HOWEVER, EACH SMALL OR BIG CIRCUIT IS ALWAYS IN CLOSE OR DISTANT CONTACT WITH EACH OTHER. IN OTHER WORDS, ALL THE BODY LIMBS ARE INTEGRATED AND WORK AS A WHOLE. EACH AND EVERY PART OF IT,ON ITS OWN,IS IMPORTANT AND NECESSARY.
REGRESS OF ANY PART OF THE BODY MEANS A LOSS TO THE WHOLE PERSONALITY AND PROGRESS OF ANY PART LEADS TO BENEFIT TO THE TOTAL PERSONALITY.THEREFORE, IT IS SAID THAT “HEALTH MEANS HARMONIOUS AND EFFICIENT FUNCTIONING OF THE DIFFERENT SYSTEMS AND THEIR PARTS OF THE BODY”

BEAUTY AND HEALTH EVERY WOMAN
NOBODY CAN lose those extra 10 KG in 30 days - or hit the gym three days a week like you wish you could. But that doesn't mean you can't resolve to be a better, healthier, even prettier you.
In fact, Experts says we should lighten up on strict resolutions and approach with reasonable expectations. Doing so will not only help you stick to your resolve, but the small changes you make can lead to bigger changes down the road - and an ambitious desire to improve your life in many more ways. "If you let the small things add up they will add up to meaningful changes in the overall pattern of your life, and How to sneak age-defying, disease-fighting habits into your life without really trying!"
To help get you started on those small but meaningful changes, here are 10 fast and easy health and beauty resolutions - little things you can do to positively change the way you feel -and the way you look . Try one - or all nine, the following tips ,you'll see the difference way.
1. Go to bed washing your make-up. No matter how tired you are, no matter how late it is, take just 2 minutes to slather on and tissue off a facial cleanser and your skin will thank you. Not only will it help remove surface bacteria that could encourage breakouts, most make up is drying to the skin so removing it will help reduce wrinkling while you sleep. If you can squeeze in 30 more seconds for a quick application of moisturizer, you'll see a definite difference in your face in 7 days or less! 2. Never leave the house without sunscreen on your face. It’s most important anti aging skin care step you can take. It's true - the sun IS the number one cause of wrinkles and aging skin. And sunscreen - well it's the biggest gun in your wrinkle defense arsenal! To make using it easy and automatic, look for either a moisturizer or a foundation.
3. Protect your lips - and look younger and sexier! Want those juicy, sexy lips? You can have them without a lot of muss and fuss IF you protect your pucker with a lip gloss or balm containing sunscreen. When lips are hydrated and protected they will automatically look fuller - and you'll look younger! You can capitalize on the protection if you swap out a matte lipstick for a high wattage gloss in a medium warm pink tone. 4. Whiten your teeth. If you haven't done it yet, this is the one resolution you MUST try! Not only is it the quickest, most inexpensive way to take years off your appearance, it can boost your confidence and give you that polished, well groomed look rich girl - for just pennies a day.
5. Clean out your make-up bag/ bathroom drawer/ vanity - and toss any products you've had more than a year. 6. Keep up with your hair coloring. If you're wearing a shade you just can't bear to change, make sure you touch up those roots every 4 weeks. If the time - or the expense - doesn't permit that kind of attention, then think about having your hair professionally highlighted and low lighted - a mixture of many shades and tones of basic colors like honey blonde, or chestnut brown. The look lasts for up to six months without a touch up. 7. Trade in your shower gel for a moisturizing bar of soap. Most gels contain chemicals, dyes, foaming agents, and lots of drying alcohol - all things your skin doesn't need. Try a daily shower with a moisturizing soap instead - and see your entire body complexion come alive in just 14 days or less. And - you'll save a ton of money too! 8. Eat calcium/vitamin D supplement every day. While many women believe calcium is only important if you're pregnant - or post menopausal - the truth is gals of all ages need this vital mineral to maintain a strong and healthy skeleton - and protect against broken bones. What you may not realize: Studies show women in their 20's need this protection as much as women in their 50's! But that's not all! The latest research shows getting adequate calcium may also help keep skin looking younger longer! And since we're all staying out the sun, the vitamin D is essential to make sure the calcium you take is absorbed. Try it for a month - you'll see a difference! 9. Wear fragrance every day! Even if you're just spending the day doing laundry or cleaning the bathroom, studies show that wearing your favorite fragrance is a great way to lift your mood and keep energy levels high. Starting your day with a dousing of fragrance will also make you feel special - and that can affect how you act and react during the entire day. If you can't afford to use your favorite pricey designer fragrance every day, look for scented body lotions or anoint your pulse points with a fragrant bath oil. For an inexpensive scented body powder purchase any corn-starch based baby powder, pour into an air tight plastic container and sprit the contents several times with your favorite fragrance. Close the lid, shake it - and voila - when you open it you'll have a whole container of perfumed talc for pennies!
