Why Internet Marketers Need to Use Skype

Virtually everyone wants to save money. For Internet marketers, saving money is critically important. As my frequent readers know, there are many free Internet tools at our disposal which, when properly used, can really help you make some serious money.

One such Internet tool that can really help in this regard is Skype.

Once owned by eBay, who paid billions to acquire this Internet phone company, Skype has become an alternative way to make long-distance phone calls. In the process, Skype helped usher in an era where there were more and more options.

Gone forever are the days of "Ma Bell." The replacements for the traditional phone company have become increasingly interesting over the last two decades.

Part of Skype's magic is that it allows users to make phone calls via the Internet. If two users each have Skype software on their computers, then they can communicate with one another. This is yet another example of the free tools currently available on the Internet, and the new possibilities that have emerged.

In terms of possibilities, Skype has branched out recently with "Skype-to-Skype," which allows people to make unlimited phone calls on BlackBerry and Android 3G phones. Additionally, Skype is even poised to revolutionize the world of video calls by making video calls cheap and easy.

In terms of saving money, Internet entrepreneurs and Internet marketers would be well served spending some time to explore how Skype might be able to help them. It may very well be possible to save serious money by incorporating Skype into your long-distance phone calls.

All of this may sound great and it is indeed fantastic. However, there are some issues. Often people have technical difficulties setting up Skype. Then there is the issue of customer support, which many feel is not really adequate. Overall, however, the good certainly seems to outweigh the bad and that is why Skype is worth a look.

In 2007, I found myself starting over, as both of my successful businesses failed, due to the real estate market collapse. In a word, I lost everything. I was forced to start over and free and low-cost Internet tools were of great help.

I am a major proponent of the importance of staying calm in a crisis. If you don't stay calm, you can't make the best decisions and you can't determine how to solve your problems.

My years of happinesslifetime.com yoga training, as I worked as yoga instructor for years, had a great amount to do with being able to stay calm, keep my focus and plot out a new direction. Making smart moves, such as finding low cost ways to make your dreams come true, is necessary for success.

I believe that everyone can find the moneymaking success that I have found. All you need to do is use the right tools in the right way.

People today are more health-conscious and more than willing to spend time exercising. Not only do we understand more clearly the dangers of obesity; we're now more aware of the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. At Oneonta, New York, a lot of enterprising businessmen have taken notice of this growing trend and set up well-equipped fitness centers that are open twenty-four hours a day. Below are the top three.

SEO Keyword Research Tips For Yoga Studio Businesses

SEO can be broken down into 2 main categories - on-page and off-page, also called on-site and off-site SEO. This article focuses on on-page SEO for a yoga business such as a yoga studio to improve a yoga business marketing campaign.

What is on-page SEO?

It's researching and properly placing key search terms in each page of your website. Key search terms are also called keywords.

It's critical that your yoga studio website use the very keywords that your prospective students will use to search for the yoga services they want. If your website is found by people who aren't interested in your site, then you don't have the optimal search terms.

Keyword research is a refining process. It's never perfect; it's a constant work in progress. You measure success by results. Results are the number of visitors to your website and the percentage of visitors who contact your yoga studio.

What are good keywords for a yoga business?

A good starting point for keyword research for a yoga studio is thinking of the required keywords in 2 categories:


Your location: your town, the nearest large city, surrounding towns, your county, your state, and any other commonly referred to geographic names in your area.
The yoga styles you teach: yin yoga, hatha yoga, kundalini, Bikram, etc.
General benefits: yoga, meditation, wellness, health, fitness, yogi, happinesslifetime.com yoga teacher training, etc.


Keep in mind that the term "keyword" refers to a single work and phrases.

Where to research the best keywords?

You want to try a variety of searches; some with your geographic terms, and some without. Don't be discouraged if phrases with geographic terms have very few monthly searches (i.e. 50); if it shows a number that's great. Remember that specific geographic search phrases (i.e. "Bellingham Yin Yoga") with your yoga style will likely rank very well. That means those 50 searches in the future will list your site.

Where to place keywords in your site?

Your keywords, including phrases, must be placed the meta titles, headings, and used in the written content of a web page. Every page in your website is an optimization opportunity. Do not solely optimize your home page. For any yoga studio, you should be able to create a list of 50 to 100 keywords / phrases.

Here's the thing, each web page in your site should have no more than 2 to 3 keywords. 1 if your keyword phrase is 5 or more words. This means you must methodically plan out on which pages you will place which keyword phrases.

Now you can see why a blog is so valuable; you can create as many new posts as you want and each post can be optimized for a new keyword phrase. Take for example a 15 page website with a blog that has 50 posts. This site has a total of 65 web pages. If each page (a post is a page) has 2 keyword phrases, that site is optimized for 130 keyword phrases. Without the blog, the site could only be optimized for 30 keyword phrases.

That is an overview of on-page, aka on-site SEO for a yoga business. Remember, on-page SEO is only part of the SEO equation; off-page SEO is equally, if not more important than on-page SEO for building tons of quality traffic to your site and blog.








Check out this off-page SEO article reviewing 3 yogabaron.com/2010/01/3-top-seo-services-your-seo-expert-doesnt-want-you-to-know-about top SEO products for off-page SEO by visiting Yoga Baron, a yoga blog about yogabaron.com yoga business marketing.

Four Super Easy 10 Minutes Fat Loss Workouts

Time - It's the second biggest quandary for all those who want to drop some pounds or get stronger. How, when and where will you find the time to consistently exercise so that you can reach your desired results (e.g., skinny jeans, lost inches, bigger bench, pumped up arms, dumped pounds, etc.) and don't have to experience that dreaded rebound? Well, that's what I would like to share with you today: Four time-buster workouts for four different types of people.

Because you are short on time, that means that the rest intervals in your exercise program are going to go out the window. There's no rest for the wicked, as they say. Only in our instance, there's no rest for the time-crunched.

Without further ado, here are your short-burst, high-intensity workouts.

Outdoor Type:

Push-ups + Hills Sprints + Squat Jumps

This one is simple.

-Start at the bottom of the hill and do 10 push-ups.

-Get up, sprint to the top of the hill, and immediately transition into 10 squat jumps.

-From there, walk down and repeat for a total of 10 cycles.

Home Exercise Type:

Band Thrusters + Power Rows

This a great sequence for those who want to train at home or on the road using only a simple elastic band.

-The sequence is 30 seconds of thrusters, 30 seconds of power rowing , and a 30 second rest.

-Repeat for 7 cycles. Yeah, I know this is more than 10 minutes, but the extra 30 seconds aren't going to kill you. If you absolutely need to reduce the time, cut out a 30 second rest cycle somewhere along the way.

Yoga Type:

Bridging + Divebomber + Overhead Lunge

These are three of my favorite full body movement exercises.

-Perform 2 complete cycles of all three drills:

-Cycle 1 - Do 10 reps of each drill.

-Cycle 2 - Do 5 reps of each drill.

As you get a little more proficient at the exercises, you may add some reps to the second cycle.

Serious Type:

Kettlebell Swing + Kettlebell Press

This mini-workout combines two of the core Kettlebell lifting exercises.

Here's what you should do:

-20-30 two-handed swings.

-3 reps of the presses on each side.

-Repeat for 10 cycles.

While I have labeled these workouts to give you a way to define the different types of workouts, all of them can be done by any 'type' of person regardless of his/her goals. I have used every single one of them at various times to provide a quick, in-a-time-pinch workout. That being said, these workouts are NOT meant to take the place of your normal training sessions. However, they do have enough results-producing octane to keep you moving towards your fitness goals.

Enjoy!

Training for the Biggest Event of All: Life

"I don't need to exercise, I run around all day." Wouldn't it be great if that were enough? Unfortunately, although most people might consider themselves quite active at work and during their daily activities, seldom do they actually get the right amount and type of exercise.

Don't get me wrong; it is a wonderful thing to be active every day. The more active you are, the more calories you will burn. Also, being active (as opposed to sitting at a desk or on the couch all day) can help improve your posture and lower your chances of experiencing neck, shoulder and back pain.

However, in order to be at your best, you really need structured exercise that includes cardiovascular or aerobic training, strength training and stretching on three or more days a week.

Imagine yourself training to be in a marathon. You would not simply go about your business as usual and then show up on race day expecting to run 26 miles. You would begin months before, with a training regimen so that running all those miles is much easier than if you had not trained.

Running marathons might not be your cup of tea, but in reality each of us is in "training" for a very special event called "life." In life, we will have to walk from here to there, lift things and reach overhead to accomplish all the tasks we take on every day. If we train for these "events" they become that much easier to do.

For instance, you may find that you are out of breath when you walk or climb stairs as you go to work, go shopping or even just around the house. This is an indication that your cardiovascular system needs some training. If you practice this task, by walking 30 to 60 minutes a day for three or more days per week, you will find that you don't tire as easily and that you breath much better.

The same holds true for your level of strength. Activities that can be difficult if you don't have enough strength include picking up your children/grandchildren/nieces/nephews, moving furniture to clean, hauling big rocks or piles of dirt while gardening, and carrying grocery bags. Performing strength training several times a week will make those tasks seem much easier than they used to.

Adding a stretching program, such as yoga or simple static stretches, will round out the entire package. Stretching keeps your joints healthy and helps to prevent injuries such as torn muscles and back pain.

Now that you know how to train for the events in your life, get out the calendar and start scheduling some time to make it happen!

A TACFIT Commando Program Review

TACFIT Commando is a bodyweight-only training program that delivers cutting-edge workout methods employed by some of the most dangerous and heroic individuals on the planet, including the likes of bodyguards, SEALs, MMA fighters, Special Ops personnel and counter terrorists. The system is authored by an accomplished, championship-level fighter who's spent years mastering these unique training methods and now shares his wisdom by teaching the previously mentioned warriors how to prepare for any scenario they may encounter in their day to day professions.

With undeniable credibility behind the creation of this workout system, it's no surprise that I was blown away with this training program.

TACFIT Commando is taught in a special ops theme that is unwavering throughout. For this reason, it's a one of a kind program that's highly engaging and provides added motivation as your strive to accomplish your "missions."

Overview of TACFIT Commando system:

Bodyweight-only training program that allows you to train anywhere, anytime and without needing any fitness equipment.

TACFIT Commando workouts take just 20 minutes and focus on intense, functional exercises that not only build a lean, ripped body, but allow you to perform like an undercover spy.

Weekly workouts include demanding fat-melting bodyweight circuits, active recovery and injury prevention sessions, motor skill development work that allows you to better cope with stressful situations and much more.

The TACFIT Commando program includes:

-Easy to read, comprehensive mission-ready training manual

-Mission calendar that makes organizing, following and tracking your TACFIT Commando workouts a cinch

-Video tutorials of each and every exercise to ensure proper form and technique is used during all workouts

-Recovery techniques video series that includes joint mobility routines and Prasara yoga techniques for unparalleled warm-up, cool-down, recovery and injury prevention

In addition to everything above, the TACFIT Commando Deluxe Edition includes:

-Plug and play, follow-along mission simulation videos that allow you to workout alongside one of the industry's top and most specialized trainers

-Breathing and recovery secrets utilized by the special ops

-Commando diet plan that synergistically enhances results seen from the training program

-Warrior recipes eBook with endless hard-body-worthy meal and snack ideas

As you can see, the TACFIT program is extremely comprehensive and it was apparent in my review that team TACFIT was very diligent and tactful (no pun intended) when it came to product creation.

All in all, TACFIT Commando is a rock solid training program that is ideal for anyone looking to enhance both their physique and their ability to perform. If you've ever wanted to have the ripped body of an MMA fighter or the smoothness of James Bond character, the TACFIT bodyweight training movement can and will deliver.

If, however, you're opposed to short bouts of hard work and if you'd rather have beach muscles with no ability to protect yourself in a dangerous situation, this bodyweight-only training system is probably not your cup of tea.

Your Olympic Stars Take Breaks Too!

"When we train everyday, sometimes there are workouts you don't like, don't want to do. Bob says you're putting money in the bank. I guess I put a lot of money in the bank over the last four years, and we withdrew pretty much every penny in the bank. After Bob and I both grab a little break, it'll be time to start depositing". --- Michael Phelps

The Beijing Olympics is arguably the best Olympics in history because of the number of records broken and the glamour that the Chinese government put into the ceremonies. I was personally amazed by the feats of Michael Phelps, Usain Bolt, Nastia Liukin, Shawn Johnson, Alicia Sacramone, Yao Ming, Manu Ginobili and Guo Jingjing. These athletes stood out from all the rest because of the character they showed in victory and defeat. They worked hard to represent their respective countries and they deserve all the admiration of the world. The above quote by Michael Phelps says it all--- it's all about "depositing and withdrawing" and look what he has achieved. What struck me the most is the fact that he mentioned "taking a break". Yes, that's one of the reasons why he is successful!

Athletes are credited for their supreme performance. Their training regimen is usually mentioned in commentaries. What the commentators fail to mention is the fact that these athletes take breaks as well.

Breaks have physical and psychological benefits. Rest is part of the success triangle which includes intense workouts and proper nutrition. Without rest, you will go NOWHERE!

PHYSICAL BENEFITS: The body needs to recoup. If you don't give it time to recover, you will be fatigued and chances are, you won't perform to your peak performance. When people ask me if training 8 hours a day is what a boxer does to maintain peak form, the answer is NO. A boxer trains with a lot of intensity: running in the morning and general boxing specific workouts in the afternoon. When they are not scheduled for a fight, they tend to disappear from the gym scene. The bottom line is, if they do this (intense boxing activity) 365 days a year/ 8 hours a day they are headed for disaster. The same principle applies to you. Take breaks during the week, don't overtrain and avoid the plateau effect. There is no physical benefit in terms of improvements to an over- fatigued body.

PSYCHOLOGICAL BENEFITS: You only get to be "in the zone" for so much time. The mind should also be given a break or else the athlete will crash. Boxing is a sport that requires a lot of sacrifice. Dieting while working out intensely is hard for the mind and body. Although it would keep you focused on the price, being in this situation 365 days a year would be too much. I value intensity but the mind deserves to relax. Consider doing yoga, meditation or anything relaxing to provide balance to your life.

I appreciate the fact that my students work hard in the training. It is good to push the body to its limits but it is not healthy to keep on doing that day in and day out. Take a break from your usual routines--- take days off in between workouts--- recoup, sleep and enjoy the rest of your day.

Learn from the Olympians. I am sure that after the hardwork that they all put into the Olympics, and all of the fun things that they weren't able to do while in training for the biggest worldwide spectacle. Listen to the news online and on TV about these athletes---- then do the same thing. I'm sure it won't cover anything much about working out.

Let me leave you one of my philosophies in training: You workout to prolong your life so enjoy it!

Bhakti Yoga, The Yoga of Love

Bhakti Yoga, the most direct path to Cosmic Consciousness, to awareness of the Absolute, is the yoga of love and pure spiritual devotion to God, Who is Love. It is the yoga of blissful exhilaration, of purest love. In Bhakti Yoga, the devotee is the lover and the deity, the Divine, the Godhead, is the beloved. Bhakti Yoga causes its devotees to be fully aware, to be fully and ever conscious, of the fact that all is the manifestation of the Divine. It causes the veil of ignorance, the veil of the sense of separateness from the Divine, to fall from the eyes, from the consciousness, of the devotee. It makes the devotee aware of the fact that ego and material consciousness are of no importance whatsoever. Why be egotistic of the petty materialistic body or mind, when of far greater value is awareness of the Cosmic Mind? By overcoming the pull of the ego, of petty personal concerns, the devotee is able to become enthralled in the feeling of being united with God Consciousness.

The doctrine that "God is Love and Love is God" is the base of Bhakti Yoga. It is the bliss of love that will enable the devotee to transcend petty concerns, because the bliss of love will make them seem as unimportant as they really are. What drives the devotee is the feeling that his Self is separated from the divine and the consequent desperation of his wish to achieve union, or, better put, the consciousness of union (for union is always there - it is just that the devotee has forgotten that, that he no longer feels it before practicing Bhakti Yoga) with the divine. When upon his quest for reunion with the Godhead, when filled with love for the Divine, nothing else matters for the devotee, not food, not sex, not wealth, not any earthly pleasure or even responsibility. His love makes his quest by far the most important consideration.

Bhakti Yoga is the fastest way, indeed the most direct way, of attaining God Consciousness. This is because love is the strongest emotion an aspirant can feel and it puts other considerations, even knowledge of the scriptures, into second place. All types of yoga, all forms of knowledge, are based on true faith, true devotion, on true Bhakti Yoga. For without love for the Divine, one hasn't the motivation to make the sometimes incredible efforts to achieve consciousness of the Divine. No amount of intellectual training, no amount of physical training, can achieve this one its own, without love. Love is the highest thing there is and the religion of love is Bhakti Yoga.

The Divine is immanent in all things. The Bhakta, however, may, according to his temperament and experience, find the Divine in one or in another form, but the fact is that all forms of the Divine are magically present in all things. In the bliss of love, the devotee achieves God Consciousness and when that happens, the form, the Divine and the devotee become one. For the reality is that all are One: The devotee and the deity, the subject and the object, the known and the knower.

Why Do Yoga?

For thousands of years, people have relied on yoga to maintain their minds, bodies and spirits. There are many health benefits associated with yoga, from improved flexibility to healthy weight loss. Many yoga practitioners also report being happier, less stressed and feeling a greater sense of balance in their lives after beginning yoga training. But is yoga right for you? If you're unsure, here are some great reasons to consider yoga.

First and foremost, yoga is an outstanding way to improve your physical fitness. Though it might look easy, moving through a set of poses is actually a powerhouse workout. Depending on the yoga discipline you practice, you can burn up to several hundred calories per class.

One of the most popular types of yoga for weight loss is Bikram yoga, often referred to as "hot" yoga. In Bikram yoga, the room is heated to over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, helping the calories literally burn off as you exercise. Though this can be an intense workout for yoga newbies, Bikram yoga is excellent for ridding the body of toxins and boosting weight loss. Hot yoga also improves circulation and immune system functions.

Doing yoga elevates the heart rate, classifying it as a cardiovascular exercise. Since it requires you to use your own body weight as resistance, yoga can be considered an effective strength training workout. Yoga is also very effective for stretching and improving flexibility, which is why athletes from gymnasts to football players include it in their training regimens.

Beyond the physical health and fitness benefits, yoga can also improve your mental and emotional health. There's a feeling of accomplishment in taking on just about any fitness routine, but one that relies solely on your own body will help you feel strong and self-sufficient.

Yoga is well-known for helping to reduce stress, improve relaxation and help practitioners feel a sense of peace. Working your way through a yoga routine can help wash away the stresses of your day, while helping you achieve a strong, healthy body.

Yoga's versatility is another great reason to consider adding it to your fitness regimen. Traditionally, yoga is performed in a studio under the eye of a credentialed instructor. The presence of an instructor often helps new members understand their form and avoid injuries, while performing yoga in a class setting helps many practitioners feel more peaceful and connected to others.

If exercising in public makes you uneasy, many instructors and personal trainers offer one-on-one yoga lessons. There are also a number of resources, including books and home study courses, that allow you to reap the benefits of yoga on your own time and terms. Whether you're interested in it for fitness or relaxation, these resources can guide you through a successful yoga workout from the comfort of your own home.

Yoga Certification Online - Expanding Your Continuing Education at Home

Many Yoga instructors have years of teaching experience; but no matter how many years of training we have, there will always be a unique ailment that we are not so familiar with. Not every Yoga teacher is familiar with creating a modified lesson plan for a student with Scoliosis, Multiple Sclerosis, or Rheumatoid Arthritis.

You could take a specialized Yoga teacher training intensive for each ailment, a group of ailments, or take an online course. If you have the time to leave work for a specialized continuing education course, you have no worries, but what if your employer is not very understanding about taking time off?

Should you tell a cover story to receive time off? After all, how many employers will endorse your continuing education in a field that has nothing to do with your job? This is just one of many reasons why Yoga teachers from around the world are taking Yoga courses online.

Even if you teach Yoga full-time, you may not currently have the flexibility in your schedule to take off a week, or a month, to attend an intensive. You could read books and watch DVDs at home, but an online Yoga teacher course will guide you toward key points in your training.

Online Yoga teacher courses tend to operate in a number of different ways. Some of them use the Internet to send you all of the materials, and then you send your assignments back by Email. Practical exam videos can be sent back by streaming video.

Some online Yoga courses will send you a combination of books, DVDs, CDs, and e-Books. They might also have online videos, podcasts, and resources, which you can research any time of the day or night. The main purpose of online Yoga courses is to make learning a stimulating experience.

The rewards of online Yoga teacher training are convenience, significant savings, and the ability to apply newfound knowledge to a constructive purpose. When you have students who need help, they could possibly hang for your next Yoga vacation, but online courses allow you to assimilate knowledge, as quickly as possible. Technology enables Yoga instructors to help students in need, when they need help.

Knowledge gathered from online training courses will allow Yoga teachers to enrich all of their classes. This ultimately helps each student, who attends classes - from the young athlete to a senior who may be in a wheelchair.

My Missed Learning Opportunities - Can I Go Back?

The Problem with Education

Think about your early, mostly ignorant education. The one that was cooperatively forced upon most of us at an age when we were wholly and unreservedly impressionable. It was done 'for our own good', even if we didn't know why.

Expected to endure endless hours of externally imposed discipline and bombarded by well-intentioned teachers, we somehow struggled through those formative years, emerging almost none the wiser.

What If

Now here's the good news. What if, you ask yourself - what if you could take what you know now and go back and get 're-taught' only those areas of subject matter that you yourself deem valuable (and invaluable). 

That's right - not everything you learned in K-8 was valuable. Some of it was pure abstraction with no practical use in your world. Now it's 20 or 30 years down the road, it still hasn't been used, and is never likely to.

And another thing, there were definitely subjects not offered at the time that would have made you a very different person than the one you are today. Mind training, creativity, analytical thinking, yoga and meditation. For elementary school aged students? That's right. How about conflict resolution, entrepreneurship, and accounting?

There are people in this world who received the right type of education at an early age. They come from the two extremes of life - the very rich and the very poor. Rich people have private tutors, like-minded associates, and non-traditional private schools.

People in poverty, while likely receiving no formal education - got what they needed as they went along in the school of life, the living breathing classroom of community, family and culture. Not necessarily television, either, which is an unregulated educational distraction.

For the Rest of Us

The answer for the average person on the planet is really quite simply. Part-time or full-time home-schooling. For yourself! It's inexpensive and practical, and a win-win situation for all parties concerned.

If you decide to teach your own children (or even someone else's), you would be able to introduce proper subject matter to those in whom you have a vested lifelong interest.

Simply being a teacher is one of the most powerful means of learning what you need to know. In this manner, you can absolutely revisit your own education with a much more developed sense of integrity and passion for learning, a sure recipe for success (and fun).

For those of us without children, yet who have a strong desire to learn, consider this: create your own 'home university'. Set up a customized curriculum, select the subject matter, and dedicate a fixed schedule of study. Create a system by which to monitor your progress (you need not give yourself assessments if you don't want to) but definitely try to test out practical applications (this is the most exciting test of new knowledge).

Life is about improvement, so what are you waiting for?

What is Tai Chi?

Here is the famous Tai Chi token, representing many of the basic concepts of Taoist beliefs. It's the Chinese viewpoint of balance and constant change.

*This symbol holds the actual key to ascertain the accreditation of a great practitioner!*

Yin and Yang are usually dependent opposites that must continually be in balance. The opposites flow in a normal cycle - always exchanging the other. Just as the times of year cycle and produce a time of heat or cold, Yin and Yang cycles through active and passive, dark and light, and so forth.Yin plus Yang can be additionally explained as being a duality that can't exist without both parts. Within Yang, there's a tiny bit of Yin. Inside Yin, there is a small bit of Yang. Just as in winter, a seed lies in wait to turn into life, so is Yang waiting inside Yin for its turn.

Most of Taoist viewpoint is founded on the idea that everything gets into cycles - the particular years, the months, the times of year, even human living itself. These cycles are usually symbolized by the circle on the Tai Chi, and the movement of time is indicated by the way the Yin as well as the Yang areas rise and decrease as they go around the symbol.

-Greatest Yang

-Increasing Yang Improving Yin

-Greatest Yin

The seasons:

The four seasons - Spring, Summer, Autumn as well as Winter - are connected to Yin as well as Yang.

? Spring - the time of fresh growth, and rising Yang

? Summer - the time of highest warmth, and highest Yang

? Autumn - because the year cools, improving Yin

? Winter - the actual coldest time, greatest Yin

Based on the above mentioned representations of the Yin plus Yang meanings - there's just ONE proper positioning of the particular Tai Chi. The one where the cool sinks and the heat rises. (The black in the bottom and the white on the top. Any other positioning may well symbolize Yin and Yang, but doesn't correctly symbolize the philosophy guiding the image. Without knowing the conceptual perspective of Yin and Yang, one cannot correctly utilize the 5 components. Because the 5 components are the foundation of the energetic representations and therefore are (must be) the only remedies utilized in Feng Shui. The next time you observe an erroneous variation of the Tai Chi, challenge the data you get!

An informed consumer is really a smart consumer!

How do You de-clutter the soul? In the course of life we assemble items collectively. These are the things we need regarding our own daily life, our comfort, our job and to reinforce our relationships with others. 'Things' are a part of living and, supposedly, each has its own function and location. Life is fluid and 'things' appear and disappear, but when they come and DON'T go, difficulties arise, with rooms filling up and life losing its focus. There is the mess with the room and the clutter of the soul and they are intrinsically connected. When you see stagnant accumulations of junk appearing in the room, it can represent trapped fear or pain in the individual's life. These emotions usually immobilize an individual and make them reject change.

Out of Shape? Here's 5 Tips To Help Type 2 Diabetics Get Back Into Exercise Without Excuses!

Was last week's most intense workout was struggling to open that stubborn bag of chips? I'm not here to judge, but if you want to get back on the exercise wagon (as everyone with Type 2 diabetes should), you have to do it right.

Do you ever wonder why you alternate between couch potato and gym rat? Looking for your exercise regimen to get some traction?

Then follow these tips and watch your exercise plan stick like superglue:

1. Ease Into It: I see many out of shape people hit the gym for the first time in months and absolutely kill themselves with a 3-hour marathon session. The only thing this is going to do is make you too sore to walk the next day.

Instead, get back into exercise with a light activity like speed walking or hatha yoga and work your way up.

2. Try Interval Training: I'm a huge fan of interval training for people with Type 2 diabetes. Not only does it help burn away inflammation and insulin-resistance causing belly fat, but it takes less than half of the time of traditional steady-state cardio.

Of course, waltzing into your gym and interval training violates tenet No. 1: 'ease into it'. However, interval training should serve as a benchmark for you as you get into better and better shape.

3. Get Schooled: With gym sessions on your time... whenever it suits you to go, you're actually less likely to go. With a nebulous and ever-changing gym time, it's easy to say: 'I'll just go tomorrow'. On the other hand, with a class, like spinning or cardio kickboxing at a set time and place, you're more likely to pencil it into your busy schedule.

As you know, the guilt from a single missed session can derail your entire plan, so this tip is a crucial one.

4. Get The Word Out: Don't keep your new active lifestyle to yourself. Tell all of your friends that you're going to get into shape, the best shape of your life (don't have friends? Then post on the Internet or rent a billboard... just tell someone).

Studies show that when people are accountable for their lifestyle changes, they are much more likely to stick to them.

5. Mix Things Up Early On: Many people wait until their exercise routine bores them to tears before making a change. Or even worse, some let the boredom drive them away from the gym altogether... and towards their couch with a Sex and the City DVD boxed set. Not good.

Instead of waiting for the mind-numbing boredom to kick in, try mixing up your routine from the get-go. Mix in yoga, Pilates, weight lifting, walking, interval training, working out with friends, working out alone etc.

The more variety, the more you'll not just endure, but actually enjoy your workout.

So the next time you say to yourself: 'I need to get back in shape', follow these tips, so that this time, you actually will.

Fun Workouts Trends

The challenge of motivating people to become active and keeping existing clients faithful to ongoing regimens has triggered an evolution of fitness trends in gyms and health clubs. No longer just a place where fitness enthusiasts pump iron and run on treadmills, health clubs now cater to a wide range of clients by offering exciting training classes, new exercise formats and equipment.

Check out the following fitness trends currently sweeping health clubs:

Outdoor exercises

Exercising outside the four walls of a gym or fitness centre has gained popularity among clients who are looking for a fun way to work out as a group. Aside from the promise of getting a bikini-ready body in time for summer, the camaraderie and fun-filled activities held outdoors keep participants of bikini boot camps motivated amidst rigorous physical training.

Personal training

Inspired by famous celebrities whose physical transformations are credited to personal trainers, one-on-one personal training, and of late, training sessions shared by two clients, are popular requests in health clubs.

Personal trainers are in demand because of the immediate and visible results that one can get from a customised and focused approach. Certified trainers not only help design personalised workout routines but also act as lifestyle coaches and fitness counsellors to their clients.

Mind-body fusion classes

While Pilates and yoga remain popular, health clubs now offer new twists to these mainstays with mind-body fusion classes. Fusion classes combine two or more formats, training methods or equipment choices such as yoga and ballet, yoga and stability ball combinations, and Pilates and tango. People turn to these cross-training classes to get better results or to break an exercise plateau.

Danced-based classes

Fun and excitement are great motivators for sticking to exercise, as well as the primary reasons why dance-based classes are always jam-packed. Great music, an inspiring dance instructor and a room full of eager participants make danced-based classes all the rage in health clubs. Dance students lose themselves in the music and dance movements while reaping the cardio benefits almost effortlessly, a contradiction to the "no pain, no gain" mantra of working out.

Other fitness activities that continue to have a following are strength training, Pilates, core conditioning, abdominals, and yoga. Stability balls, resistance tubing and bands, treadmills, elliptical trainers and recumbent cycles as well remain exercise favourites.

With the amenities and array of activities being offered through memberships, realdealfitness.com.au health clubs are ideal for people with special needs, fitness enthusiasts, weight watchers and those who are looking for a healthy lifestyle.








There is one fitness centre Sydney CBD based that checks all of the boxes. Discover why Real Deal Fitness is transforming the way city workers and residents view fitness at realdealfitness.com.au realdealfitness.com.au.

Yoga Teachers - The 3 Key Ingredients to a Passion-Filled, Profitable Yoga Business

A yoga business can come in any shape and size. And this is great! Because each studio owner and teacher brings their own gifts to their business, their own teaching style, philosophy and even a little je ne sais quoi. But there are a few ingredients that lay the foundation for every successful yoga business. If any one of these ingredients is missing, a pot brimming with potential morphs into a recipe for disaster.

So let's get down to it, because I much prefer the savory scent of success to that of dried out dreams, don't you?

Success Ingredient #1: Mindset

There are certain characteristics of successful yoga business owners (teachers, you are the owner of the business of yourself!) that must be present. Not every yoga practitioner should be a business owner. You must have:


a strong desire to help people
communication skills - a love of talking with people
ability to step outside your box to grow your biz and challenge yourself

willingness to invest money in learning new skills (both yoga training and business training)
Check yourself on these, and be honest. Being in business for yourself means facing your fears on a day to day basis, making missteps, and allowing yourself to be uncomfortable. But because of that, having a your own business is the most rewarding self-growth vehicle out there. Homework: Journal why you decided to choose teaching yoga as a career. What was it about teaching? What was it about yoga? Why did you feel you needed to open a studio? Pick up a book by a passionate teacher for inspiration (for ideas on great books email me, I've got plenty.) Reconnect with your own passion through writing, and then review this every day for the next week. Use it to guide your interactions with students in a new way.

Success Ingredient #2: Excelling At Your Craft

Do you offer the absolute best yoga training in your area? If you own a studio, are your teachers friendly, welcoming, and good at what they do? Teaching yoga means you are guiding your students on a very personal journey. Are you, or your teachers, up to that task? Personal here is the key word. Because a teacher can have great technique, but if she is not making a connection with her students on a very individual basis then the student in not getting what they paid for.

Ensure that you are investing in furthering your and your teachers' education, not only in technique, but also in self-study. Be a leader to your students by practicing what you teach (so many studio owners I talk to "can't find the time" to practice yoga themselves!) If it's not important enough for you to make the time, how can you be authentic with your students in encouraging them to further study? You can't. Another check of yourself here, because this may be where you are experiencing an energy disconnect with your yoga business. But there's a simple (not easy, but simple!) answer...you must continually invest time, energy and money into your own yogic studies if you want your students to do the same. Homework: commit to attending someone else's class two times this week. Choose a continuing education workshop to attend within the next month. Meditate tonight before you do the homework under #1.

Success Ingredient #3: Business Skills

Ah, here we go. So many yoga business owners get the "yoga" part but not the "business" part. And that's ok! All the information you need to be successful is out there, if you start implementing it authentically and consistently. Are you willing to invest the time in finding it? Are you willing to invest the money in acquiring help and guidance to make you profitable?

Marketing is fairly simple if you follow these steps:


find out who the likeliest people are to visit your class
uncover what their biggest needs are
offer solutions specific to their needs
get in front of them to let them know how you solve their problems
Of course, there are more advanced steps that you can do once you've done these, to take yourself to the next level. But if you are doing the steps above consistently, you will be profitable, I guarantee it. Where business owners falter sometimes is understanding the strategies associated with how to do each of these steps. Again, this takes some research, or if you're ready to really step it up, hire someone to help you skip the mistakes and accelerate your growth. Homework: pick one thing on your marketing to do list and focus on it until you're consistent. If it's your newsletter, pick the day each week or month that it will be sent and schedule out content for the next 3 months. Read a book about newsletters. Research some articles online. The key here is to pick one thing and do it til your consistent, before you start on the next thing.

You may have caught the theme I've woven throughout these success ingredients. Here it is: the most successful business owners, myself included, understand the value of investing time and money so that they are constantly learning, growing, and improving their skills. In fact, every successful entrepreneur I know consistently reads books, attends workshops of admired teachers, has a coach (or two!) and hires consultants when needed. They do this in the three areas I've mentioned: to improve their mindset, further their craft and to acquire business knowledge. It's a must. If you model the behavior of other successful people, you will be successful yourself!

Yoga Does a Body Good

Busy work schedules, home chores and activities of daily living are more and more causing people to need physical fitness programs that are comprehensive yet effective. As yoga continues to expand in the West, the practice is being described as a comprehensive physical fitness practice that can help with losing weight, building strength, increasing endurance and flexibility. It can be beneficial in these ways but the benefits are often dependent on a variety of factors including one's current fitness levels, goals and type of practice.

Fitness Level: Exercise history can play an important role in the types of benefits that one may experience in yoga. A study sponsored by the American Council on Exercise found that the average person off-the-street who doesn't have a fitness program can improve strength and endurance, balance and flexibility in just eight weeks. The benefits may not be so much for those who have strong physical activity programs already and, weight loss may take a significant effort since a session will only burn 144-237 calories per 50 minutes.

Fitness Goals: While yoga can help with strength and endurance related goals, it doesn't meet the American College of Sports Medicine's recommendations to get aerobic exercise at 55-90% of one's estimated maximum heart rate for 20-60 minutes 3-5 times per week. Although many programs marketing the benefits of the practice say it's an all encompassing workout, it really isn't. You have to get additional cardiovascular training such as walking, biking, swimming or any other mode of aerobic exercise. And the more you make yoga aerobic, the fewer benefits one will get from flexibility and strength.

Practice Type: There are numerous styles of Hatha yoga, the physical form that includes postures, breathing and meditation. Styles range from relaxing and meditative practices such as restorative to physically demanding styles such as Ashtanga. The type of practice will make a difference on the final outcomes. Be sure to research any practice and talk with the teacher about the class components and your goals.

In the end yoga is a great way to start a new physical activity program. It also targets areas of fitness such as flexibility, skill related components such as balance and coordination and relaxation that are often overlooked. It also gives us the opportunity to practice an activity that moves beyond fitness to examine the balance of our mental, emotional and spiritual sides.

Ashrams Nepal - Spiritual Connects Via Yoga

Yoga is one aspect of ashrams Nepal that you may find highly beneficial. It involves a spiritual connection with one's body through a series of positions, pauses, and meditations. Yoga is designed to improve the way people move and feel, and it does so by impacting various areas of the body most people never even think about. It is an ancient art that has been practiced for centuries, and it is now making its way into the mainstream. Here is a look at how you can open your mind and cleanse yourself through something as simple as yoga.

Through ashrams Nepal, you can learn what exactly is going on with your body as you move. With this knowledge, you can move your body in specific ways that will increase your flexibility and blood flow. Not only will this help you lose weight, but it will also cleanse your body of toxins that could be making you depressed. These toxins may also cause health problems in the long run, so getting rid of them early on will help you best ensure the longevity of your health. Repetitive yoga practices can lead to a much more peaceful life, as long as you maintain a passion for it.

A lot of the spiritual connection found in ashrams Nepal comes from the way yoga impacts hidden areas of the body. Various joints, ligaments, and organs in your body can all be influenced at the same time by various moves you do. As a result, you can become more in tune with your body, to the point where you may even be able to detect if you are sick or not, long before symptoms would have normally shown up. Yoga lifts the boundary between your mind and your body, and it betters you as a person from the inside out.

If you are not familiar with yogi-nomad.org/everest_yoga_retreat_himalayas.html ashrams Nepal has to offer, you should look into some training courses in your area. Many of them are completely free, and they can certainly make you feel better if you stick with them. Yoga may be difficult at first if your body is not used to working out, but the pain you feel initially will easily be made up for with the connection you gain with yourself. You will become an entity, not just a mind inside of a body. Allow your spirit to take flight.

Yoga Poses

If you have observed from a distance people doing yoga poses, you would think they are latter day contortionists. You could be wrong, they are wise people who have realized well in time how easily and relatively inexpensively they can keep their bodies healthy, literally fit as a fiddle.

Yoga poses are the best way to maintain the body flexible, supple and toned up without exerting any force on the body. There is a certain subtlety in this ancient eastern system of body maintenance which keeps one in tune with nature.

Modern lifestyle takes its toll in terms of physical and mental health. Hypertension and diabetes are common ailments and the beneficiaries are pharma firms. Resources that should be spent on other productive channels are wasted in shoring up a tiring body that becomes an open invitation to premature aging and a host of diseases.

Yoga has many dimensions

The word yoga means union. It meant a whole set of physical, mental and spiritual exercises developed by ancient Indian yogis as a means of realizing God and being united ('yuj' in Sanskrit, meaning 'being yoked') with Him. The yogis were performing rigorous routine of meditation in forests and mountains and being scantily clad, they devised indoor exercises now known as 'yoga poses' or 'yogasanas' to keep their body healthy and light and make it a willing instrument of their meditation.

Over the years, yoga poses (postures) got separated from the rest of the mental and spiritual practices and has become popular as fitness yoga. Nevertheless, people who practice yoga poses derive benefits of yoga like a focused mind, self-discipline, a composed temperament and a healthy view of life.

The great repose

There are a hundred yoga poses. They have interesting names like Red Indians who named themselves Sitting Bull or Galloping Horse. The poses bear names like The Boat, Crow, Peacock, Lotus and so on. The last mentioned is the pose in which the Buddha is shown seated. It is the pose developed by yogis for their meditation. Legs withdrawn and feet resting on the thighs, hands placed on the thighs turned upward with thumb and forefinger closed, the spine and neck held erect, eyes lightly closed and the normally outgoing mind gathered and centred within - this is the ultimate pose of repose without and within.

But yet, before we could attain that inner repose, we have to slowly master the body through various poses and by regulation of breath which is called pranayama. Regulation of breath is said to energise the body and gradual slowing down of breathing is said to reduce the frequency of thoughts which is the necessary prelude for meditation.

The yogi among bats

There is the familiar joke about bats in a cave. They were all hanging upside down as their wont. But one bat was seen standing on his feet. When the other bats asked him why, he answered, "I am practicing yoga!" That bat is the counterpart of the people who delight in doing the headstand, a difficult but a very effective pose for stimulating blood circulation in the entire body. Its modified and easier version, the "all limbs pose" is also recommended for all ages.

In a way, yoga poses are for people who want to be and dare to be different and pursue what their inner being and instinct of the body prompt them to do. It is by treating the body with respect and dignity, not by pumping iron and straining the muscular and nervous system. In the latter case, we see these people breaking down in health when they stop doing these heavy-handed exercises.

Tips for the beginner

Starting practice of yoga poses is easy. But some words of caution would be necessary.

· Please do not learn from the books. One should not be one's own Guru (Teacher) in matters of Yoga asanas, pranayama or meditation and one might end up worse than before. Look for qualified, committed, professional teachers.

· If you suffer from any ailments or bodily disabilities, obtain medical advice from your physician and from your yoga instructor as to what poses would fit in with your physical condition.

· Age is no bar for practice of yoga poses. You do not have to be a stripling to do it.

· Your yoga instructor will tell you what kind of yoga accessories and props you need. Your dress should be comfortable enough to allow you to stretch and bend freely.

· Like all other physical exercises, yoga poses should be done on a very light stomach and never after a meal.

· Fix a particular time for your domestic practice to develop regularity and discipline

· Such a discipline does not go with habits like smoking and drinking which have a depleting effect on the physical system

The final test

The ultimate test of any exercise regimen is: Do you feel fresh and energetic or tired and exhausted afterwards? Yoga poses pass this test in flying colours.

On the whole, regular practice of yoga poses tempers and tunes up the body, disciplines the mind and trains the will to apply itself to self-improving habits and style of life and lifts one's perspectives to a higher and nobler level of existence.

Some Different Types of Yoga Poses

The most important part of yoga is the different poses and positions that you can place your body into. True yoga followers understand that this is an important step in their training. Through these different poses your body can promote its healing qualities and improve the energy flow within.

If you slowly execute these yoga poses with some amount of concentration, you'll be succeeding in not only training your body but your mind too. A slow start and daily practice is the way to build up your body as well as the number of poses that you can master. Poses include different things such as warm-up, standing, seated, twist yoga, supreme, inverted postures, balance, backbends and finishing poses.

One of the most basic standing poses in yoga is known as the triangular pose or the trikonasana. In order to execute this pose you should be standing and position your legs somewhat farther apart than your shoulders while keeping your feet straight. Your arms should also be raised up to shoulder level. Next you should lower your right arm and stretch it as far down the right leg as you feel comfortable. You should also raise your left arm over your head too. After this you can straighten your body to the initial position you started from and repeat this for the other side of your body. What this pose will do for you is to tone your legs as well as abdominal muscles and promote your lower back health too.

One of the most popular yoga poses is the lotus pose otherwise known as the padmasana. The lotus pose is a seated pose and it requires flexibility too. You should start off by placing your right foot on your left thigh and keep this foot facing up. The next thing you should do is place your left foot on your right thigh and facing up too. The other thing you should do is place the palms your hand on their corresponding thighs facing up. Then place your left foot on your right thigh and keep that foot facing up too. You should then proceed with laying the palms of your hands facing upwards as well. Carrying this pose during meditation will strengthen your legs and ankles and increase your flexibility. It also helps in relaxation and promotion of good posture.

Another pose that functions by rotating the spine is known as the half spinal twist otherwise called the Ardha Matsyendrasana. To start you kneel down on your heels and place your legs together. You should also sit to the right of this pose and place your left leg over your right foot with your foot on the outer side of your right knee. Next you should try to keep your spine straight and bring your right heel much closer to your buttocks and stretch your arms out to your shoulder level. Next you bring your right arm over the left knee and hold your left foot close. After this you place your left hand on the floor right behind you. Twists as far to the left as you can, this pose ends up toning your spinal muscle and ligaments as well.

Another basic yoga pose is known as the king of the asanas (Sushasana), this is also known as the headstand. When performing this pose you start in a kneeling position and your hands and elbows placed on the floor before you. You then interlock your fingers and place your head in between your hands. After this you should push up on your toes and bring your legs to an extended yet upright position. Try to focus on a point that is in front of you and make sure your body remains straight and balanced. This pose strengthens the neck and back and reduces stress and fatigue too.

Office Yoga - Four Physical Techniques for Corporate Yoga

Which asanas and techniques would work best in an office, when space is an issue for office Yoga classes? Pranayama is most important, but let's look at solutions for Yoga posturing, and getting better blood circulation in the legs, within a finite amount of space.

If you are limited to the confines of your cubicle for space, you can still take care of your back, release muscle tension, and get some circulation into your legs with Office Yoga. There are many Office Yoga postures (asanas), and Yoga exercises, to perform, but here are a four that will help you during the work day.

Leg Circles - You can perform leg circles in a variety of ways. You can cycle a single leg forward and backward - as you would a bicycle. You can also do the same movement with two legs at once. This cycling movement is most commonly seen in shoulder stand, but we are sitting in an office chair for this one. By using two legs at once, the abdominal muscles, and arms, will work a bit harder.

Leg circles can also be performed, similar to the Pilates leg circle. This movement engages inner and outer thigh muscles. Yet, the most important benefit for office workers is getting circulation in the legs, to prevent swelling, due to the pooling of fluid in lower legs, and to prevent blood clotting.

Camel (Ustrasana) in a chair - This is a back bending movement. Office workers should do this four to eight times, or more, per day, to counter pose all the natural slouching from staring at the computer monitor.

However, this back bend should originate from the center of the back. Care should be taken to avoid jamming the low back and to avoid hyper-extending the neck. People with back and neck problems should consult their physician before practicing Camel posture.

Seated Forward Bend (Paschimottanasana) in a chair - You may want to move your sit bones half way forward in your chair for this Yoga posture. This forward bending movement is a good "counter pose" to Camel posture. You should not force your body into a deep Seated Forward Bend posture. Your breath should be your guide for the amount of depth you find comfortable. The spine should be kept as straight as possible.

Seated Spinal Twist - There are many variations of Seated Spinal Twist, but the spine should be straight while holding this posture. Some variations focus on the lower, middle, or upper back. You can also cross your legs or leave your feet flat on the ground. Therefore, you may want to mix it up for best results.

The breath should not be held, while performing a Seated Spinal Twist, even though it may feel natural to do so. Seated Spinal Twist lubricates the spine, aids in digestion, increases the elasticity of connective tissue to the spine, prevents backaches, and massages the internal organs.

Things to Consider First Before Starting an Online Business

There are certain essential business terms and ideas that you should know about. Especially if you are confident in marketing meetings and job interviews and let us discuss some of them now. First is the marketing mix or commonly known as the four P's of marketing.

The first P is the product which stands for the goods and services you offer whether it is a real estate, happinesslifetime.com yoga training, clothing, perfumes, foods and many more. This P includes the design, branding and packaging.

The next P is the place or the location of your business where the product is for sale or how to get there. Also, this is where the product is moved from the producer to the consumer. Thanks to the world of internet place is now actually anywhere. You can order your favorite books, airplane tickets, gadgets, and musical instruments even enroll a college course wherever you are in the planet.

The third P is the price which indicates the charge of your product or service after for sale for the customer. This establishes the level of the company's sales as it sells the product. Again, with the interactive media you can now compare the cost of a certain product or service simultaneously between any number of vendors.

The last P is the promotion. This is a way to introduce your product or service so that people will know a lot more about it. You can do this through advertising, self promotion, direct marketing, personal selling and others kinds of publicity.

Now we could relatively state that these four P's are old school marketing deeply established in the past centuries and earlier generations. But if there's one shift that sum up the modern century market place is that now the consumer is so empowered through the instant access of information to the competitors prices and even sharing reviews with one another. So the traditional four P's may well benefit from a rewrite based on a consumer's viewpoint with the new four C's of marketing. And what we need to do is take the P's concept and modify it to a costumer's advantage point.

For example:

Customer value (product) - this is the amount of benefit which a consumer will get from a product or service relative to its price.

Cost to the customer (price) - this includes price and the other cost of customer such as the time spent traveling to a certain store or the shipping fees of the product purchased online.

Convenience for the buyer (place) - or simply the ease of finding information of the product or service to purchase.

Communication - the key method of communicating with a lot of people as an approach of introducing your product or service.

By understanding these new marketing terms, you can surely make a great stream of income of your online business.

The Purpose of Yoga - Problems With Training the Mind For Success

Each form of Yoga addresses your health in some way. If you take the time to learn something about Hatha, Raja, Karma, Bhakti, and Jnana Yoga, you will notice each style has a different approach toward mental, physical, emotional, or spiritual health. These are the planes of existence that people are most often familiar with.

Yet, some people will go out of their way to deny the existence of spiritual health. Worse yet, humans have violently killed each other throughout history over their diverse beliefs in spiritual health, God, and religion. Yoga, in every form, has no such conflicts with spiritual health.

Everyone is welcomed to practice Yoga, and that is why it has existed for so long. Let's take a closer look at the problems, which hold each of us back from our true potential, and how Yoga can help us live a more fulfilling life.

Why is success discouraged?

Here is the theory: "The world is flat." There was a time when the earth was believed to be flat. At the same time, there were educated people who were sure the earth was a globe, but they debated over the size of the earth.

At this time, we know the size, shape, and exact dimensions of the earth. However, we have the advantage of instant access to information and many people can read. Yet, with all of this instant information, and our reading skills, some people still inherently believe they are doomed to fail in life.

Envision success and it will come. This is not a thoughtful wish - you still have to take positive action toward your goals. Better than that, you must have real goals. Do you desire to discover a successful life? If so, you must educate yourself and move forward.

Why do some people wish you to be unsuccessful?

This is "Crabs in a Bucket" theory in practice. If only one crab was in an open bucket, it would have a much improved chance of success. When a number of crabs are together, they hold each other down inside the bucket.

Simply put, take the time to observe when a few people around you try to hold everyone else back from progress. Sometimes, it's not even intentional, but a default mechanism, which directs one toward negative thinking. Many people do not believe they can succeed in life because someone told them so.

Why we believe that we do not deserve success and what can Yoga do to change it?

If you believe something strong enough, it will be your personal reality. Some people will tell you: "Good things don't happen to our kind of people." What is "our kind of people?" Do not let anyone tell you that you deserve less because of your pedigree. Past performance of your family tree is not an accurate indicator of your success.

What each form of Yoga can do is program your mind in a positive direction. You can change the present, by believing that you deserve to succeed, and by taking steps toward success.

Learning Transcendental Meditation

It is not difficult to learn transcendental meditation. If you are looking to escape from the whirlwind of ringing cell phones, traffic snarls and screaming kids, transcendental meditation can provide a peaceful getaway from the craziness of everyday life.

In 1958, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi formally introduced his transcendental meditation technique. Since then, he has written several books, lectured and toured extensively all over the world and trained over 40,000 teachers. Transcendental meditation is now practiced in the workplace, at home and in medical settings. In addition, doctors and health professionals are increasingly prescribing transcendental meditation as means of combating anxiety disorders and stress.

You may be wondering what is transcendental meditation and what makes it different from other forms of meditation? One of the most exciting elements of the transcendental meditation technique is that it so simple and easy to practice. With the right focus and dedication, you can learn transcendental meditation in a matter of moments.

Basically, during the meditation session, your body enters a deep and peaceful state of relaxation, while maintaining alertness and clarity. First, the person chooses a word or image to focus on, perhaps a religious or cultural symbol that has special meaning. As the person replays this word or image over and over, the body descends into a deeper and deeper state of restfulness. The session can last anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour and should take place in a calm and relaxed setting, with minimal noise and distractions.

No other meditation technique has been so extensively studied and researched. During transcendental meditation, the brain falls into a theta brain wave pattern (akin to sleep and deep relaxation), which then carries over to the state of wakefulness. Physical benefits include increased mental comprehension, focus, retention and creativity. Another interesting benefit is the actual reversal of the aging process. In a study conducted by the International Journal of Neuroscience, the biological age of practitioners of transcendental meditation was, on average, twelve years younger than their chronological age. Transcendental meditation also has positive effects on age and stress related conditions such as insomnia, high blood pressure, decreased visual acuity, hearing loss and depressed cerebral blood flow.

It is interesting to note that adherents from all religions choose to learn transcendental meditation. Although it has roots in Hinduism, the transcendental meditation technique can be applied to any cultural context. In fact, those who learn transcendental meditation are encouraged to adapt symbols that have meaning and depth for the individual. For example, a rabbi may choose to focus on a symbol or image rooted in Judaism to enhance the effectiveness of the session. In contrast, an agnostic may choose an image from nature such as a beautiful meadow or sunset to achieve relaxation. The beauty of transcendental meditation is its flexibility.

Yogic Stress Management Therapy - Don't Worry, Be Happy

One aspect of Yoga, which amazes most new students, is the newfound ability to become aware of everything, which was already around them in the first place. This includes feelings of, and opportunities for, happiness.

Remember Bob Marley's song. "Don't worry, be Happy?" Have you ever been offended when a friend said, "Take it easy." Why? A simple solution to your "big problem," seems like an insult to your intelligence. Can it be that easy?

Is the answer as simple as, "Just learn to relax?" Yes, learning to relax is the answer. Yet, learning to relax is anything, but simple. For example: New Yoga students are sometimes uncomfortable while practicing stage-by-stage relaxation or Yogic body-scan relaxation techniques. How can this be?

Relaxation techniques are usually much easier to learn than meditation. The most common reason for a Yoga student to be uncomfortable with sitting, or lying down, is an underlying fear of getting to know him or herself.

When you make the time to get to know yourself, this is time well spent, but many people, who do not practice relaxation or meditation methods, consider them a waste of time. So, what is the true value in sitting or lying down relaxing?

Firstly, everyone needs to relax during the day or risk "burn out." The same goes for laughing, joking, and smiling - You must give yourself a break. Relaxation is simply "break time."

In fact, you should only focus on relaxing when practicing your stage-by-stage relaxation or Yogic body-scan relaxation techniques. You will have plenty of time for self-realization during the day or when practicing meditation.

Yoga Vinyasas - Which Ones Are Right For You?

When you think about yoga, you likely think first of poses that emphasize self awareness and flexibility. You can, though, link poses in series called yoga vinyasas. In these vinyasas, the poses are done in a free-flowing sequence that adds to your overall yoga experience. While your yoga teacher is trained to create vinyasas for you, there are also certain existing sequences that you can do on your own once you know what poses they involve. Two that are particularly popular in the West are the Sun Salutation and Warrior II.

Sun Salutation

One of the most popular sequences is known as the Sun Salutation. It is a single flow of 12 different yoga postures. With each, you should inhale to accompany your stretching and exhale as you contract or fold your body in. This particular vinyasas is designed to build your strength and increase your overall flexibility. Like with most vinyasas, you may find variations on this depending on what style of yoga you are using, but there are a few basic poses and a flow that is fairly consistent among the variations.

For the Sun Salutation, you go through the flow twice in order to complete one round. Do it one time for the right side of the body and the other time for your left. If you are crunched for time, still try to do at least one. Even that one half of a sequence will help you to feel revitalized.

The sun salutation starts with mountain. From there you go with hands up, head to knees, lunge, plank, and stick. Still flowing, you go into upward dog, downward dog, and lunge. Finally, the sequence finishes with head to knees, hands up, and mountain again. As you can see, the Sun Salutation is naturally circular just as many other yoga sequences are.

Warrior II

Another popular sequence for yogis in the West is called Triangle, or the Warrior II. This particular vinyasas emphasizes your breathing. Though it is usually recommended to try this moving between positions on the beat of your breath, you can experiment with different breathing patters to see what is best for you and how each affects you. In fact, this ability to freely experiment is what has made this such a popular vinyasas.

The sequence for Warrior II works through four poses. You will use Mountain, Triangle, Warrior II and the standing Yoga Mudra. Moving in that order, you will flow through the sequence in time with your breathing. This particular sequence will have a tendency to release stress and help with your flexibility. Be sure, as with all yoga, to pay careful attention to your breathing patterns while staying focused on yourself.

Once you begin to learn a number of yoga poses, you can begin to experiment with vinyasas on your own or with a teacher. They allow you to not only work within the poses, but also to maintain both a physical and mental flow when you perform your daily yoga. Additionally, you can find other yoga sequences that suit your skill level, need, and style of yoga. Overall, the vinyasas are a part of yoga that may help you see and feel results more quickly and more consistently.
