| Article Title :: Yoga Teachers Lead by Example - Part 2 |
| |
|
It is a shame that proper behavior, respect, and ethics do not
make great headlines in the newspapers. Just watch the news, and
read the newspaper for a week, to confirm what makes "good
copy." It will not take long for you to find a dozen, or dozens,
of scandals.
We all make mistakes, and none of us wants to have them in
print, but some are preventable. Here are some guidelines for
Yoga teachers to consider when teaching their students. As a
leader and role model, your ethical behavior will be duplicated
by your Yoga students.
There is no need for an air of superiority within the Yoga
class. Everyone is good at something, so why waste time and
energy trying to impress your students, or t (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Yoga in Practice: Turning Arguments into Treasure |
| |
|
Ever wish you could take harsh words back? Do you wonder how you
could have prevented an impending conflict? How could an
argument turn out to be a hidden treasure?
We cannot always use the following principles, we are only
human, but you will see they work. You will also notice that you
can learn from arguments and even diffuse them into mild
disagreements.
Firstly, let's look at the structure of an argument. An argument
is a difference of opinion, and nothing more. It is actually
healthy to listen to outside opinions and learn from them.
Personally, I get tired of hearing my own thoughts and want to
hear fresh ideas. Sometimes you can put a "new spin" on a fresh
idea and come up with a (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Yoga in Practice: Projecting Happiness |
| |
|
We are all human, living life with its many "ups and downs," but
how can we keep our spirits up in difficult times? There are
many types of Yoga, and not all are physical styles, like the
many popular Hatha Yoga sub-styles. To name one that is not
Hatha, and classified as one of the nine main Indian Yoga
styles, there is Bhakti Yoga - the union of love, devotion, and
worship.
The principle of Bhakti Yoga is universal to all people of all
religions. A person who sings, prays, worships, and helps
another person is practicing this form of Yoga - whether they
have heard of Bhakti Yoga or not. It does not matter what
religion you are because singing, praying, worshiping,
forgiving, and helping (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Yoga in Practice: Excuses for Lack of Practice |
| |
|
At one time, or another, we all think, "Why am I here?"
Sometimes we think, "Why do I even bother?" Thinking about
giving up is a temptation for all of humankind, but we continue
to pursue our goals just like our ancestors did.
My wife, Marie, puts it bluntly, "You have two choices, push
forward or give up." Sometimes, it is a joy to sit in the back
of her Yoga classes, so I can listen to a candid approach to
life and teaching Yoga.
Look at how far we have come as a species in regards to Yoga,
art, holistic health, medicine, technology, and much more. It is
easy to look at the downside of humanity, but a lot of our
ancestors did not give up. In fact, they recorded past failures
and achiev (read full article) |

| Article Title :: What's the Right Physical Training Frequency? |
| |
|
As controversial as what physical training methods to use is the
topic of physical training frequency.
Physical training frequency is how often you should physically
train to get optimum performance improvements to reach your
fitness training goals.
Let me first ask you a question...
Why do we participate in physical fitness training programs in
the first place?
No, I'm not talking about all the benefits of exercise that we
commonly hear or even the desire to look better.
I'm talking about what makes it necessary for us to add physical
training into our daily lifestyle.
Why can't we just do without it?
For the answer, we must look back in time...

| Article Title :: Stress Reduction - 30 Easy Things That You Can Do |
| |
|
Stress affects the whole person - body, mind, feelings, and
behavior, and just as symptoms can take many forms, so there are
many simple actions that you can take to relieve these symptoms.
Take Action on Stress. Ask yourself "Am I stressed, or am I in
denial?" Simply making a conscious decision to act upon your
situation will bring to you, such a sense of relief that this
unpleasant situation is going to change, that you will
immediately start to feel some benefit. Chunk Down. Chunking
down helps you to define what the problems actually are. It
helps you to divide the problems causing you stress into smaller
and therefore more manageable parts. You can then look for
solutions, options and (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Exercise Bikes - What's on The Market |
| |
|
There are available two types of exercise bikes. The upright
bike is stationary and it resembles a typical road bike. Added
stress is put on the joints because the pedals are positioned
below the rider. The pedals of the recumbent bike are out in
front of the rider so that pedaling is more natural and less
stressful on the hips and knees and the seat resembles a chair.
There are other styles of bikes available as well. There are
double action upright exercise bikes that have moveable
handlebars or arm handles. Your arms as well as your legs are
used on this bike. This bike will provide you with aerobic
activity and upper body toning. Some variety can be found with
resistance bikes also.

| Article Title :: Vitamins Nutrition Supplements - Are They Really Needed? |
| |
|
Are vitamins nutrition supplements really needed? Vitamins
nutrition supplements should be considered nutritional
substances that provide health benefits. Ideally, these benefits
will have been proven by clinical studies.
What we consume each day is important, and eating a balanced
diet makes sense. Assuming that happens on a regular basis, one
problem today is that nutrient values of foods have been
declining for decades due to soil depletion. And as for what we
eat, for example, the USDA food pyramid recommends consuming
2-1/2 cups of vegetables a day for women and 3 cups a day for
men. In reality, most adults just do not consume these minimum
amounts, and thus the need for high-quality (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Why Bother to Keep a Sleep Diary? |
| |
|
Copyright 2006 Wendy Owen
Do you sleep well? If not, do you know why?
Keeping a sleep diary will allow you to find patterns in your
sleep habits. For instance you may find, for instance, that you
sleep better after a meal that is high in carbohydrates as
opposed to one that is high in protein.
Or you may find that a short nap in the middle of the day keeps
you awake at night. Others may find the opposite - a nap during
the day helps them sleep better at night.
Only by keeping a regular record of the things that affect your
sleep will you be able to pinpoint and avoid the "sleep
stealers" that you may not have previously been aware of. It
only takes a few minutes a day and can pay divide (read full article) |
