"All I’m saying is that to liberate the potential of your mind, body and soul, you must first expand your imagination. You see, things are always created twice: first in the workshop of the mind and then, and only then, in reality. I call this process ‘blueprinting’ because anything you create in your outer world began as a simple blueprint in your inner world.” ~ Robin Sharma

Catch you tomorrow, Thursday

The body's capacity for recovery is phenomenal. All of us have a miraculous capacity for regaining health from poor physical condition caused by lack of activity or poor diet. Practicing yoga regularly keeps muscles supple, prepares us for movement, and helps us break the daily routine of a sedentary life. Discover the benefits of movement through yoga and join me for a class this week.

"One of the means of honoring the sun is through the dynamic asana sequence Surya Namaskar (better known as Sun Salutation). The Sanskrit word namaskar stems from namas, which means “to bow to” or “to adore.” (The familiar phrase we use to close our yoga classes, namaste—te means “you”—also comes from this root.) Each Sun Salutation begins and ends with the joined-hands mudra (gesture) touched to the heart. This placement is no accident; only the heart can know the truth.

The ancient yogis taught that each of us replicates the world at large, embodying “rivers, seas, mountains, fields…stars and planets…the sun and moon” (Shiva Samhita, II.1-3). The outer sun, they asserted, is in reality a token of our own “inner sun,” which corresponds to our subtle, or spiritual, heart. Here is the seat of consciousness and higher wisdom (jnana) and, in some traditions, the domicile of the embodied self (jivatman)."

"...lower back strains were the most common single diagnosis reported in the data for ER visits relating to yoga for 2010 (from the NEISS report). In fact, back strains are also a common workplace injury and much research is focused on the prevention thereof. Nevertheless, people still often strain their back at work, especially during situations in which they forget or are unable to implement preventative measures."

Thank you so much for this post and all of your wonderful posts. Your illustrations with the arrows and your precise explanations and instructions are so useful. I can hardly wait for "Part 2 of preventative strategies for lower back strains in yoga" next week. Thank you for sending out all of your…

Yin yoga targets the deep connective tissues of the body and the fascia that covers the body. Postures are held for 3-5 minutes allowing the practitioner to release tension in the joints and increase flexibility. Join me at 7:30pm every Monday and Wednesday at for a deep mind-body practice that will allow you to open up the body and become more centered & relaxed.
