In the article Elbow Platform – Tough Power Yoga Pose, I detailed for you this unusual yoga pose, which is great for those looking to enhance their power yoga routines. Today I will present to you a free online video of this great exercise, which should give you a clear picture and demonstration of how to practice this pose.
In our busy lives, it is not always possible to do 2 hours of yoga daily. It would be great if we all had the time for such devoted practice, and even if some of us were lucky enough to be able to accommodate such a practice, there would inevitably be phases where time would be limited and we would have to make do with a shorter practice. Today I would like to present you with a great set, composed of many of the top yoga poses, which is ideal for meeting the needs of a quick yet complete yoga routine.
Although it is not springtime, I seem to be getting a lot of emails and requests from guys looking to enhance their sexual prowess and performance in bed. So for this month’s Learn Yoga Asana series, I thought it would be good to learn a pose which is known for improving male sexual health and virility. This pose is Chair Yoga Pose and I am quite a fan of it myself.
It is wonderful that yoga is growing in popularity world wide and that now there are so many yogis amongst us. A yogi is anyone who practices yoga. So although there are so many different types of yoga, Kundalini Yoga, Flow Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Power Yoga, Bikram Yoga, etc, etc., all of us are yogis. The question is, how many of us meet the requirements of being a good yogi, or put another way, what is the foundation of a good yoga practice.
I love the great variety of exercises and poses that yoga has to offer. There are complex ones, most of which have reasonable modifications, and there are also simple, easy exercises which are great for beginners, seniors, kids and those looking for more moderate workouts.
These easy yoga poses should not be dismissed just because of their simplicity though. They are still very beneficial and, if done on a regular basis, can keep you healthy and fit. Furthermore, they are excellent exercises to use as warmups, either prior to doing more advanced routines, or prior to playing vigorous sports.
A few months ago, I shared with you the remarkable story of Ray, who using natural treatments and yoga was able to recover from a very dire prognosis of Brain Cancer. You can read that article here, Yoga and Cancer, A True Cancer Recovery Story. Today, I would like to share with you another inspirational and uplifting story. This one is about a person’s fight against depression and severe anxiety, and how yoga and meditation were instrumental in helping her recover and regain her life.
Today is Diwali and along with wishing each and every one of you a very Happy and Healthy Diwali, I also want to share some of my thoughts on what is the esoteric meaning behind this glorious occasion.
For those who don’t know what Diwali is, it is the day when Lord Rama returned to his kingdom Ayodhya after 14 in exile and after defeating the demon king Ravana. It is celebrated with a great deal of enthusiasm in India and the reason it’s also called the Festival of Lights, is that on this day diyas (small clay lamps) are lit in abundance to greet the return of Rama.
A wonderful thing about yoga workouts and poses is that they work on you at many different levels at once. Not only are they great for your physical dimension, but are also often designed to work on your emotional or mental dimensions as well.
When I was in high school, I was a member of the ski club and in preparation for the upcoming ski season we would start to do a wide range of exercises to prepare the body. Now that we are heading into winter here in the North East, and my kids are a little older, I plan to teach them skiing this winter and so have decided to revive my high school tradition of preparing for ski season.
My latest series of Yoga Videos have almost all been uploaded on YouTube and I happy that they have been very well received by the YouTube community and blog readers. The fact that these videos were found to be beneficial has of course inspired me to continue with this project, so soon I will be creating and uploading a new series of free yoga and meditation videos to both the blog and YouTube.
Here is a comment I just received today on my YouTube channel and it is such feedback that makes all the effort worth it :-).
