| Non-Slip Yoga Mats - The Basics Posted: 11 Feb 2012 07:00 AM PST Article by Stewart Ames Non-slip yoga mats come in a wide assortment of styles and materials. Choosing the best selection of yoga mats greatly depends on your needs and style of yoga. For example, older individuals are usually more comfortable with thicker non-slip yoga mats. Additionally, yoga mats come in various lengths, widths and of course thickness. Yet for many, the most important factor in yoga mats is the material of the mat itself.Standard or Sticky This is one of the most popular yoga mats. Sticky yoga mats or otherwise known standard non-slip yoga mats, can be found at just about any major retailer. This type of yoga mat is popular, because it's the cheapest kind of yoga mat available. Many beginners start with a sticky mat. Unfortunately, this mat is also the most harmful to not only the individual's health, but to the environment as well. Major chemicals used to make sticky non-slip yoga mats include lead, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), cadmium and phthalates. While PVC is an environmental toxin, the other chemicals increase the risks of health concerns such as the disruption of an individual's endocrine system and much more.Rubber For a healthier option there's natural rubber non-slip yoga mats. Natural means the rubber was made from actual rubber trees, not synthetically made. Not only are these mats safer for the environment, but they last longer than sticky mats. Of course that means they are also a little more expensive. Additionally, some individuals may not appreciate the strong order that rubber mats give off and if left too long in the heat or sun, these mats will deteriorate.Travel SizedA travel-sized yoga mat can be the perfect solution for those who want to practice yoga while away from home. Travel non-slip yoga mats are easy to transport from location-to- location and are extremely light. The downside of this, is because travel yoga mats are meant for easy transportation, these mates tend to come with minimal cushioning.CottonWhile doing intense or action style yoga, like Ashtanga for example, cot! ton yoga mats may be ideal. The reason for this is the cotton material will soak up the sweat produced during a yoga session. This in turn, prevents the individual from slips and slides on the mat. One should be mindful though if they are using cotton mats on hard surfaces, such as wood floors. While the student won't slide around on the mat, the mat can easily slide on the floor which could lead to injury. Jute and CorkThese styles of yoga mats are perfect for the environmentally conscious. And they're usually reasonably priced. Other than that, many prefer not to use non-slip yoga mats made from jute or cork. One reason, is these mats are extremely porous absorbs sweat and when the mat dries it begins to smell. Furthermore, jute or cork mats are not as sturdy as the other yoga mats, which will require the individual to replace the mat more often.

| Discovering The Beginner Yoga Positions Posted: 11 Feb 2012 06:00 AM PST Article by chris binnie Discovering The Beginner Yoga Positions If you want to start yoga, you need to start at square one. You have probably seen the wild and crazy yoga poses that some of the advanced yoga students can do, but it will take time to warm up to those poses! Practice makes perfect, but much like any other physical activity, you have to prepare your body before doing anything too rigorous. Many people do not believe that yoga is a rigorous sport, but try any of the advanced yoga positions before your body is ready and you will definitely say otherwise! Here are some places where you can find beginner yoga positions to help you get started with your yoga. Take A Class The best way to start yoga is to take a beginners yoga class. In a beginners yoga class you will learn everything you need to know about yoga. Your instructor will teach you how to do beginners yoga positions. Having an instructor that you can physically see can be extremely helpful for people who are just starting off in yoga. Even the earlier beginner yoga positions that might look easy can be surprisingly difficult to pull off. When you see a picture of someone doing a beginner yoga position, it hardly looks like they are stressed at all. But if you are weak, overweight, not flexible, or simply uncoordinated, it can be very difficult to pull off a beginners pose. Instead of throwing in the towel, a class can help you to master these beginner yoga positions with ease so that you can move on to more difficult positions! Buy An Exercise Video Many people work well with yoga through an exercise video. While you do not have the personal instructor there to help you with your yoga positions, you still have the benefit of watching an actual person perform these beginner yoga positions. You can watch as they get into the position, hold it, and release. Instead of reading about how to do it or trying to decipher these yoga positions from a printed picture (that is not recommended at all for beginners yoga!), you can vi! sibly se e how to do it. Another benefit of using an exercise video is that you can pause and make the video go in slow motion so that you can really figure out exactly what to do. These videos are also great if you are self conscious about how you are doing your yoga and do not want to look silly at a class! After all, once you master these beginning yoga positions you can then move on to taking a class. About the AuthorCheck out bible study topics and more Youth Ministry Resources.

| Posted: 11 Feb 2012 04:00 AM PST Article by chris binnie Ancient History of Yoga Although yoga has only recently become more popular in the west, the practice of yoga has been used in the east for thousands of years. The history of yoga begins in the times of ancient Indian asceticism, which was found in the Indus Valley civilization which existed in 3300 to 1700 BC. When examining historical sites where there are ruins with figures in artwork and on walls, the history of yoga can be seen since there are often figures that are in positions that are distinctly yoga poses that are still used today. There are other picture histories that show many different yoga activities that confirm the history of yoga in this, very ancient, civilization. The Next Civilizations There are some other practices of yoga mentioned in the Vedas, which are found in 800 to 100 BC and are still used in different meditations. The history of yoga continues into the recent times as the practice of the different forms of yoga has been refined and reconfigured throughout the ages. There are many different types of yoga that have been passed down through the years in the history of yoga. There is the Hatha yoga style which is usually slow paced and gentle in comparison to other styles and is a good introductory style for users to practice when beginning. There is also the Vinyasa style of yoga in the history of yoga. This type of yoga provides a combination of the yoga poses and the breathing techniques that are practiced in this form of yoga. This style is a little more vigorous than the Hatha style, and there are some combined poses that follow one after another in a series. One common series is called the Sun Salutation, which is often used in repetition to warm up or warm down in a yoga class. Another style of yoga in the history of yoga is called the Iyengar style, which emphasizes not just the poses, but also the alignment of the body in the poses to make sure that the person is doing them correctly. The Kundalini style is one that uses the breath! ing meth od of rapid breaths in conjunction with the physical poses to create a freeing of the energy in the body, thus making it healthier. Finally, there is the style of yoga that is called Bikram yoga, which is practiced in very hot conditions and is very vigorous. The room should be about 95 to 100 degrees so that the participants sweat a lot to let out toxins. About the AuthorCheck out bible study topics and more Youth Ministry Resources.

| Height Increasing Exercises Part 3 – Yoga Posted: 11 Feb 2012 12:00 AM PST Article by Grow Taller Yoga is a traditional physical and mental discipline which originated in India. In Sanskrit, yoga literally means to control, to contemplate and to unite. Yoga is an ancient practice which strives to create a sense of union and balance between the body, mind and spirit. Though ancient, the practice of yoga is still very much relevant in today's society. At least 11 million Americans are enjoying the health benefits of yoga. As a mental discipline, yoga promotes relaxation and better concentration through breathing exercises. Spiritually, yoga promotes the interdependence of the body, mind and spirit. Yoga is also a physical discipline. The postures in yoga, called asanas, are extremely effective in increasing flexibility and suppleness of joints, ligaments and tendons, toning muscles and detoxifying in the body. Physically, yoga helps create a toned and flexible body which improves physical performance. As discussed in previous articles, the body needs to develop and strengthen the spine and the muscles to grow taller. Yoga, having been proven to be able to do these, is a great way to grow taller while becoming mentally and spiritually balanced. Ideally, people can make the most out of increasing their height with yoga during their puberty – the age of awkwardness, hormones and growth. The stretching postures of yoga actually stimulate the release of the Growth Hormone (GH) from the pituitary gland. However, people past their growth years can still benefit from yoga. Even if you are no longer growing, certain yoga postures can help elongate the body and accelerate metabolism to have better height. The breathing exercises in yoga also helps relieve the tension and stress of the back muscles. Aside from relieving tension, yoga also stretches the back to its full range of motion, mimicking a variety of stretching exercises which decompress and strengthen the spine. A strong spine will also help maintain good posture, another key to growing taller. The benefits of good! and pro per posture will be further discussed in later articles. Yoga emphasizes flexibility, and while many may not be too keen to start yoga as an exercise, GrowTaller4Idiots shows that you don't have to be an experienced yogini to do the yoga postures that will help you grow taller. 1. Sukhasana Sukhasana is the most basic of yoga postures from which all other forms are based. The Sukhasana helps to open up the hips, relieve mental and physical tension, and most important of all, lengthen the spine. It also helps control breathing and tones the lower back. The Sukhasana is quite similar to sitting cross-legged on the floor. However, instead of slouching, keep your spine straight and aligned by pushing your buttocks on the floor, your knees steady and aligned to the floor and your arms resting on your knees. Separate your knees and maintain a comfortable space between the feet and the pelvis. While in this position, take several deep breaths. As you inhale, raise your arms over your head. Slowly bring your arms down as you exhale. Try to keep your hips, legs and torso still as you do this. Repeat for at least 5 times. If you have a hard time doing the Sukhasana, start by sitting on a cushion to elevate the hips. This will make the pose more comfortable. 2. Trikonasana The trikonasana, also known as the triangle pose, is a great way to stretch the muscles of the entire body. It is also stimulates blood circulation to the spine, aiding in increasing its flexibility while targeting the spine and abdominal muscles. With a properly developed back and abdomen, the body gains additional inches in height. Begin by standing with your feet apart and parallel to each other. Raise your arms at shoulder level, with the palms facing downward. Slowly turn your face to the right, simultaneously turning your right foot 90 degrees outward while inhaling. Slowly exhale and bend sideways. Reach for your right ankle with your right hand while extending the left arm upwar! ds. Try to maintain the position for 15 seconds before coming back up to the starting position. Repeat the process, this time mirroring the position on your left side. 3. Ardha Matsyendrasana – Half Lord of the Fishes Pose This pose is also known as the seated spinal twist. Seated twists have a variety of benefits, including the lengthening of the spine, increasing spinal rotation and developing back muscles. It also helps to open up your shoulder and hips which help you stand taller. Assume the Sukhasana pose to begin. However, instead of having your knees aligned to the floor, position the right foot outside the left thigh. Bend the left knee and position it near the right buttock. Rest your left arm on your right knee and bring your left hand up near the left ear. Place your right palm on the floor behind you. Slightly twist your body by looking over your right shoulder. Do not overturn your neck – the twist must come from the torso and not the neck. Take a deep breath while stretching the spine and exhale when twisting. Make sure the right foot remains flat on the floor as you do this pose. Hold the twist for at least 15 seconds before switching to the other side. If you find it hard to perform the Ardha Matsyendrasana, try sitting on some padding to ease the stretch. Also, you can keep your left leg extended to make the position more comfortable. You can get started with these three yoga postures at any time. The idea of using yoga to increase height is to explore the body's limits and not to overexert one's self. Once you feel stronger and more flexible, you can always try out more height increasing postures in GrowTaller4Idiots. About the AuthorRead more about how to grow taller naturally Open the Mind

| Different Yoga Poses and Asanas Posted: 10 Feb 2012 10:00 PM PST Article by Rob Owens Classical yoga has developed over time to include many different styles for a range of situations, needs and preferences. However the majority of Yoga styles still fall neatly into either the therapeutic or the meditative category. Both categories have many hundreds of different Asanas,(poses or positions) and all of these are designed to benefit both the body and the mind. Yoga takes the five 'prayer' positions and uses a corresponding yoga position to activate the seven chakras in the body. A Chakra is a type of energy field or is sometimes thought as a key position in the flow of energy throughout our body. Each different type of Yoga and each different Yoga position will have a different chakra as it's core emphasis. All of these positions, which we tend to think of nowadays in Western Yoga as exercises, were in fact originally the preparation for the Yogi to enter a state of meditation. The actual positions or poses of Yoga are known as Asanas and they may seem complicated or difficult to a new Yoga student. It's important not to forget that all of the basic positions of Yoga are designed to improve the bodies strength and flexibility, and as these characteristics are improved it also makes the positions more comfortable and easier to settle into. The deep stretching that is the basis of most Yoga positions is beneficial for trauma disorders, tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow amongst others. Before you begin you may find it beneficial to attain a basic knowledge of the philosophy and theory behind Yoga, however this is not a requirement or essential to your success. It does assist with being comfortable settling into and performing the poses associated with Yoga, and it should be remembered that if you cannot do this then you will probably not benefit from Yoga. There is a common misconception about Yoga that it is only for the tremendously flexible who can contort themselves into weird and wonderful positions. Chanting is often also associated with ! a Yoga c lass in people's preconceptions. Neither of these ideas is true. The Yoga positions are generally quite easy to get into but they do have several different depths in many cases. This means that a completely beginner can move into a position and still benefit from it at a great level after many years of Yoga. There are some advanced positions that a beginner should probably not bother themselves with. Just as you are not going to compete with top marathon runners on your first day jogging, but can still get benefits, you are also not going to be able to ease into some of the positions that an instructor is capable of. Likewise if you are pregnant or perhaps have an injury such as a bad back you should inform your Yoga instructor before you begin. There are some positions that can actually be detrimental to certain conditions. Twist exercises with a recurring back injury is one of these. Yoga is something that is most beneficial in a comfortable environment, as the muscles will stretch better when they are still warm. It's important to learn the discipline to enter and leave each new pose or position slowly. Not only does this help avoiding injury but also the movement from one pose to another is often part of the program. Don't hold the poses and positions longer than is natural for you either. As you become more used to practicing the Yoga positions each day the benefits will allow you to hold a position with more ease for longer periods of time. When practised correctly the benefits of Yoga are many. Lubrications of the joints, ligaments and the tendons will result directly from performing the exercises best suited to you. Posture will increase dramatically and you will also experience a sense of wellbeing. There is also a deeper spiritual level to Yoga (it actually has it's own philosophy and code of ethics) that you will move closer towards and enhance each time you stretch and go through the breathing exercises.

| How to Practice Mindfulness Meditation Posted: 10 Feb 2012 09:00 PM PST Article by Kip Mazuy Mindfulness meditation is about opening yourself up to what is here in this moment. You become aware of what is here without trying to change it in any way. It is best to try mindfulness meditation first with your eyes closed so that you do not get distracted by anything outwardly happening. Now with your eyes closed, simply relax into this moment. Allow everything to happen as it is happening. Allow breathing to happen exactly as it wants to happen. Allow the emotions to be as they are. Allow yourself to feel whatever sensations happen to present themselves. And even allow the thoughts to arise and fall all on their own. Mindfulness meditation is the opposite of concentration; it is allowing everything to be as it is, while remaining the witness as much as possible. You are letting go of control. You are letting go of analysis To the best of your ability, try not to get caught up in your thinking. Just notice that thinking is happening. The content of the thoughts is not important. Just leave it as noticing thoughts happening. Allow the thoughts to come and go in the same way you can watch cars drive past you on the road; they come and go all on their own, while you remain watching. In mindfulness meditation, you are not even thinking the thoughts, you see thoughts are happening. You do not need to be involved whatsoever, thoughts simply arise and disappear. Yes, you will get caught up in your thinking. But when you do, just notice that you did and come back to allowing and watching the thinking. It is not a forceful concentrated action, rather it is a letting go of the thinking, letting go of your involvement with your thinking. The key in mindfulness meditation is relaxation, letting go, allowing and observing. In this way, thoughts can slow down by themselves and then you rest more and more into that which is here beyond the thinking, beyond the emotions and even beyond the physical body. You relax into the sensation of simply being. Not being! a somet hing, because that is just more thinking, but rather the feeling of being alive in this moment, the sensation of existing in this moment beyond name and form. Beyond your thinking in this moment, there is a feeling that you exist, a feeling that existence is happening. And the nature of this feeling is unconditional peace. The very essence of what you are in this moment is peace. You do not need to seek out this feeling of being, it is what is left when you let go of the thinking. So it is just about relaxing into this moment, allowing everything to be as it is and watching, witnessing, without control and without concentration. Because you are so used to being involved with your thinking, mindfulness meditation can be a bit hard at first. The eastern secret to making meditation easy is to sit with one who has already mastered deep states of meditation. Simply by sitting in the presence of a fully enlightened meditation teacher, you naturally awaken into deep mindful meditation and bliss. This same "enlightened presence" that you receive from sitting with an enlightened meditation teacher can also be received by listening to some very unique meditation music. Simply by listening to the music, you effortlessly and naturally enter into deep states of meditation and peace.

| Meditation For A More Blissful And More Fit Life Posted: 10 Feb 2012 06:00 PM PST Article by Fortius Fitnesz Our world is forever changing and things are happening fast. Even though these changes can do us good us in numerous ways, an increasing number of people are becoming stressed and losing their interest to live. This is no doubt because of the fact that many things in life are not certain such as having enough money and holding a job.

One way to learn to cope with this is by taking the time to meditate and in this article, we will examine the benefits of using meditation in your life. It used to be that almost all people imagined meditation was something that people do by themselves in a place that is isolated. This is not the case now, though, because numerous meditation techniques are now mainstream and employed daily by people throughout the world. The only requirement is that you find time daily to have some quiet time alone. The actual technique you utilize does not really matter as long as it feels right for you and you commit to doing it on a daily basis. The first benefit you should begin to notice is a general feeling of being more laid-back every day. It's possible that you will experience less annoyance with trivial problems and be able to handle larger problems without stressing too much. This can come about as you incorporate the deep breathing practices of meditation which allow you to handle stress better. Alternately, you may have observed that you are having an anxiety attack as you breathe more shallowly because of the stress in your life. Meditation techniques of any sort can make a difference and help to counteract stress reactions. You should likewise experience more vigor and again find enjoyment in day-to-day activities. With meditation, you will get a different form of relaxation than the kind you get after sleeping all night. Obviously, getting good sleep is important, and meditating will help to ascertain you get the best sleep possible. Meditation may b! ring fee lings of relaxation which will help you sleep better ach night and also help you make up for sleep you lost the previous night. One benefit that many people practicing meditation notice is that their creative mind begins to work better and inspirational thoughts frequently appear during or after meditating.

| The Art Of Buddhist Meditation Posted: 10 Feb 2012 05:00 PM PST Article by Sandra M Markcrow The objective of Buddhist Meditation is to remove from our minds our desires and cravings. To seek the truth, not just from an intellectual point of view but to pursue a holistic concept of life and death. To remove the veil of delusion and ignorance thus allowing us to truly see the nature of all things. The experience of having incredible visions, seeing spectacular light shows or feeling ecstasy during the meditation is considered common by Buddhist meditators. It is not the object of the meditation and should not be considered as being the outcome of a successful meditation session. Buddhist's incorporate meditative states in all aspects of their lives. One can meditate by observing how his or her body moves during the day or observe how our mood changes from one moment to the next. Buddhist meditation is the act of mindfulness, paying attention to our subtle natures, being an observer. Looking at ourselves from one moment to the next from an objective point of view without being critical. By practicing daily mindfulness, we come to understand the true nature of ourselves. Practicing mindfulness, one comes to realize that often our states of being are not due to internal bodily functions but are affected by external influences. The external factors should be considered as existing as a stand alone phenomena of their own, separate to our true identity. By practicing mindfulness of our bodies and mind, we begin to break down the illusion of ourselves and come to understand the true nature of the self. By paying attention, we begin to break the cycle of desire and craving also. Man is judged by his actions. Our selfishness and egotistic natures play a major role in how we are identified by others and how we interact with our environments. By practicing mindful meditation, observing our actions with others and our environments, we begin to breakdown the vicious cycle of selfishness and egotism. Buddhist Meditation is being attentive in all our daily interactions. Our min! ds are o ften scattered. We move from one thought to the next, often very quickly. By practicing mindfulness, observing your nature increases your ability to concentrate and stay attentive to the given situation you may be facing. With practice, you become a master of your own mind rather than a mind that seems to often work independently of ourselves. The untrained mind could be considered as being a wild animal, just waiting for you to tame it. Learning to stay detached from any given situation is liberating for the mind. You no longer have expectations of outcomes. You feel the same about life and death, success and failure, praise or blame. There is no fear associated with any of these aspects of life. The feeling about each is neutral. Mindfulness teaches that everything has cause and effect. In Buddhism, it is called Karma and through meditation we can be observers of this cycle. Much is learnt by observing our thought patterns and positive change is possible. Buddhist meditation in conclusion is the art of observing your mind and body and hence coming to understand the true nature of the self and the true nature of life. Practicing this discipline you will become a master of your own mind and with much practice, release yourself from the cycle of karma. You do not need to sit quietly to practice Buddhist meditation. It is the act of observing your actions, moods and reactions as you participate in your daily life. It is meditation in motion.
