Yoga teachers often don't want to promote themselves or their businesses through advertising and marketing, as it seems somehow contrary to the spirit of the yoga tradition.

Yama and Niyama, the misunderstood yogannI think nothing about yoga could be more sadly misunderstood than the principles of Yama and Niyama. As you may already know, according to an ancient and widely accepted system set down by the yogi Pantanjali, there are 8 "limbs" (astanga) of yoga, which are arranged in an order suggesting that they might be steps towards the ultimate goal of union with God.

Hepatitisr Among the many diseases that can affect the liver the most common is Hepatitis (a viral infection of the liver).

In yoga, we learn to tune into our breathing and let our bodies expand and contract around the breath. And the only way to stay healthy is to allow our breathing to be steady, consistent and natural. If we hold the breath in, or out, we cut ourselves off from life source energy. So the out-breath must be respected as fully as the in-breath, and well as the other way around. We all recognize the value of breathing in- to provide ourselves with oxygen and energy. But how often do we honor the value of the exhale, allowing us to release toxins and purify the blood.

It may be surprising to know that the types of foods eaten can affect the chakra balance. Just because chakras are energy vortexes does not mean they only react to spiritual things.

Planning meals that have the proper amount of the correct foods can actually bring balance into the chakra system

Let's begin with what a pendulum is...simply stated, a pendulum is a weight hanging from a fixed point. When pulled and released, the force of gravity and inertia create movement. However, when no force is inflicted on the weight something begins to happen naturally, energy moves the weight with a little help from the unconscious mind. In Chakra Balancing, the pendulum is held over one of the seven major Chakras (wheel or disk) and the energy from this source. The energy level will reveal balance, a block or imbalance by the way the pendulum is moving.

Meaning destruction of agitation, tension, anguish and anger. Dama means mastery of the sense organs and stopping them from straying towards their respective objects.

Options for learning yoga at home were pretty scarce way back when I first started yoga.

There is a popular belief that has been misinterpreted, misunderstood and, I believe, misused. The mind is a powerful tool, allowing us to co-create with life. And while the mind is powerfully creative, we do not live in a vacuum. We cannot know what lessons we are here to learn, or to help others learn, and what through the actions of others has yet to be revealed to us.

Exercise can be a helpful tool when recovering from an addiction, as it provides a way for you to keep busy and be healthy. According to Dr. Nora Volkow of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, exercise can help relieve stress and reduce depression, both factors that can help reduce the rate of addiction. Exercise releases endorphins, which can elevate your mood and make you feel more confident in your recovery and help you to succeed.

Anyone who is going through recovery for addiction to alcohol, drugs or any other addiction, faces a lot of challenges. There are many emotions that are felt during the process and it is a difficult time for the person in recovery and for the family.
