Yoga Nidra meditation

December 2nd, 2010 Posted in Yoga therapy | No Comments »

Yoga Nidra softens the particular nervous system along with releases stress that you may not know features accumulated. And also, through organized relaxation strategies, I was capable of dig just a little deeper directly into my mind and body. This power to stir upward change whilst in an entirely safe and sound place, is exactly what keeps us all learning about our self and the much more we discover, the more secure we turn into in our very own skin. And all sorts of this without having moving in any way. Yoga Nidra is really a guided pilates practice in which the practitioner merely lays on the mat through the entire practice as well as follows the actual guidance of your trained coach.

The body as well as the mind tend to be completely attached so when mental performance is burdened, the body will be stressed along with vice versa. Simply by relaxing the entire body and head all the way into the cellular level, you happen to be less likely for you to fall victim to a single of the biggest murders out there, strain. Stress is probably the main factors behind sleep troubles, which can improve your susceptibility to an array of diseases in addition to breaking down your own immune system.

Through setting a great intention prior to your train, you’re able to function with trying concerns like weight reduction and other habits. This interior inquiry may promote not just relaxation, it could promote a different way of considering which allows us all to rid yourself of the “I can not” attitude.

Nutrition from yoga perspective

November 3rd, 2010 Posted in yoga diet, Yoga therapy | No Comments »

The human body is a body that is perfect, however, helped in the difficult work of digestion, assimilation and elimination of food, if you avoid unnecessary or harmful to the body labors will not be an obstacle to the mind and the mind will not be an obstacle to meditation. If the diet is pure mind will be clean and pure even if the mind will be pure intellect. A body is weighed down by a poor digestion due to discomfort and ill health, but is also an impediment to transcend.

Kundalini Yoga provides the skills needed to live healthy, but poor nutrition can make useless the job done: the subtle energy that circulates in the body following the exercises of yoga may find obstacles in the organs of digestion burdened by toxins accumulated, in fact, inadequate and unhealthy foods toxic substances accumulate in the body that require a great effort to be eliminated

Would be sufficient to adopt simple habits such as, for example, choose foods and natural light, easily digestible and not adulterated, to improve the quality of life, rediscovering the well-being, vitality, good humor, disease resistance, but unfortunately a day today’s meals have become for many a break in working time, are imposed by social habits, caused by nervousness, boredom, stress. The teachings have come down to us, however, reveal “that the yogi does not eat only to stay alive, but to maintain good health and higher consciousness.”

Yoga as a Lifestyle

July 19th, 2010 Posted in Yoga therapy | No Comments »

The practice of yoga is more than just gymnastics, it’s a lifestyle. For Dr. Lionel Coudron – graduated in acupuncture, nutrition, biology and sports medicine – who taught the subject for over thirty years, “it is especially a coherent whole that can help heal many disorders, they whether physical or psychological. According to him, yoga can help people to truly be themselves or to regain, maintain their health and develop their resources. * In his last book, he gives very specific examples including the fight against back pain, chronic digestive problems or to live better in spite of musculoskeletal problems, respiratory or neurological disorders, most importantly without requiring special hardware or a sophisticated environment, since only two square feet!

Yoga is known for his positions. This is also a real physical activity. The exercises can be practiced in many ways, says this expert, but this is an activity that moves the body in all directions and which contributes to its maintenance in exceptional circumstances. With minimal time and with maximum efficiency. As for the control of the breath is “particularly original dimension of yoga is its essence, the royal way to manage emotions,” he writes, noting that it is used in all disciplines designed to control these emotions famous.

For Dr. Coudron, as indeed for all specialists, the practice of yoga does not matter how. “There is a moral and psychological composed of ten rules governing our relationship to ourselves on the carpet and our relationship with our surroundings,” he writes. “Physical activity, breathing, meditation, nutrition and lifestyles find their justification in the fact that they help us build a better life, full of meaning. If this did not allow us to maintain and develop better relationships with those around us, then, it has no interest.”

Influence on the abdomen of proper breathing

October 21st, 2009 Posted in Yoga therapy | Comments Off

The effect of breathing reaches further than the lungs and heart: it is impossible to move the diaphragm up and down without producing an effect on the abdomen. The increase of the thoracic space during inhalation acts on the inside of the abdomea and the intestines. As a result other organs such as stomach, liver, gall bladder and pancreas are massaged as they should be and without which they cannot function properly. This natural massage is absent in the case of obese people who breathe only with the thorax and who find abdominal breathing exhausting and unpleasant and therefore get increasingly fatter. Not only do they have a great deal of stale air in their lungs but these are only working with part of their surface.

The obese person also carries around digested food and it is nothing out of the ordinary to find that his intestines contain the remnants of up to six or more meals of the last 48 hours. These remnants which tend to ferment and putrify, consist of partly decomposed food. They become more and more poisonous, and when toxic gases or liquids are absorbed by the intestines they pass into the circulation where they produce devastating effects. The faeces become dryer and harder and through mechanical friction cause injury and possibly piles. It is therefore not to be wondered that in just those parts where the hardest and most poisonous faeces are carried around, cancer of the intestines is frequently diagnosed.

The obese person is aware of the results of this poisoning and tries to get rid of it by taking chemical laxatives which lead to explosive evacuation but create really an unnatural solution as they do not allow the body to work for itself.

Yoga Exercise: 12-Step Salute to the Sun

April 2nd, 2009 Posted in Yoga therapy | No Comments »

One of the versatile yoga exercises is the 12-step salute to the sun. Make it once or twice when you get up in the morning to help relieve stiffness and refresh the body. Various repetitions at night will help you to relax; insomniacs often find that six to 12 rounds help them fall asleep.

1. Position with your feet slightly apart, palms together, thumbs against your chest.

2. Breathe in deeply while slowly raising your hands over your head, and bend back as far as possible, while tightening your buttocks. Hold for three seconds.

3. Gradually exhale and bend forward, keeping your knees straight, until your fingers touch the floor outside your feet. (If you can’t touch the floor, go as close as you can.) Bring your head in toward your knees.

4. Inhale slowly, bend your knees, and if your fingertips aren’t outside your feet on the floor, place them there. Glide your right foot back as far as you can go, with the right knee an inch or so off the floor, (a lunge position). Then look up as high as possible, arching your backside.
