Brazilian diet techniques

Brazilian diet techniques
LEMON
The average westerner’s diet is high in sugar, wheat products and processed foods. These all affects our pH balance and can leave the body acidic. This can lead to us easily getting infected with virus’s and our immune system being weaker. Our immune system works optimally at a middle pH level and can’t combat viruses by themselves with an over acidic pH. So the other great thing about lemon water is that it is alkalizing. Despite being perceived as acidic lemons are actually alkalizing and such can help to bring your body into pH balance.
Water with lemon helps speed up weight loss. Drinking water with lemon for weight loss is also an effective way to help eliminate toxins, clean internal waste, and promote energy boosts
Lemon is a rich source of vitamin C. It has also been found that Vitamin C is a great asset to anyone who is serious about weight loss simply because it helps the body absorb calcium into its fat cells, which in turn helps you lose weight.
Lemon water helps you lose weight naturally. It is well proven that lemon juice accentuates the acidity of the digestive system and this helps the body in the absorption of calcium from the foods you eat, and this calcium is then stored up in the fat cells. It has been studied that the more the calcium content in fat cell, the more its ability to burn fat. So this another benefit of lemon juice for weight loss.

It has been studied that the more the calcium in the fat cell, the more its ability to burn fat. So this another benefit of lemon juice for weight loss.
GINGER
People who are resistant to weight loss tend to have too much inflammation. Ginger and weight loss go together well partly because ginger is known to be a thermo genic food. It raises the temperature of the body and helps boost metabolism so you burn more fat than you would simply by dieting alone. Ginger helps in expanding the blood vessels which increases your body heat. This makes your body burn fat. As ginger stimulates circulation it also helps detoxify your body. Great health benefits and it also means less water retention
Ginger is also highly regarded as a natural appetite suppressant. One reason for this may be that it helps calm the stomach and ease nausea and upset. Note that some people have reported having an increase in appetite while taking ginger, but this seems to be the exception rather than the rule.
Ginger has a beneficial effect on your overall digestive system, helping to regulate and aid the movement of food through your stomach, and small and large intestines. When everything moves more smoothly, you benefit by losing weight more easily (not to mention experiencing less stomach upset, gas, and bloating).

Fat Loss supplements really do work! According to their book, The Natural Fat Loss Pharmacy, Harry G. Preuss and Bill Gottlieb suggest the following supplements
• CLA—you can lose 5 pounds of fat and gain 2 pounds of muscle without dieting
or exercise.
• Green tea extract—burn 180 more calories a day, feel more alert, plus use one of
the most powerful antioxidants.
• Chromium—balance blood sugar, control hunger, prevent diabetes, particularly
good for overweight diabetics, and that’s a lot of people
• 5-HTP—control carbohydrate cravings, reducing intake by 1000 calories a day
• Carbohydrate-inhibitors—stop starches from turning into fat. - with white kidney bean extract and L-arabinose
• HMB—retain muscle and help avoid middle-aged spread after 45.
• MCT—prevent weight regain
• HCA—control appetite, and get off a weight-loss plateau
• Chitosan and soluble fibers—feel fuller more quickly at a meal, and less hungry
in the hours afterwards
-•Turbo-charge fat-burning exercise - with HMB (hydroxy methylbutyrate) or BCAA (branched-chain amino acids)
I have tried many of the supplements mentioned here with great success. For more information feel free to contact me

Subject: Thank you, Angie

It was a pleasure to meet you last week and work out with you. As I mentioned to you, I have a personal trainer and work out twice a week with him. I must say that your one hour training session, was not only an exhausting and different experience for me, but also one that I still felt 2 days later. I don't know why anyone would work out, unless they completely understand the efficacy of pushing oneself to their limits. Only with a personal trainer can you understand, what one is capable of achieving. Take care and thanks again.

The Definity class was a great workout. Right from the beginning, it kept my heart rate up without experiencing that hard-to-breathe feeling. The use of repetitions, weight and range of motion allow you to start at your fitness level and move up each time to constantly challenge yourself. Additionally, the segmenting of working the right v. left sides and arms, legs and abs provide variety and a localized recovery period before the next set. The day after the workout, my muscles felt long and lean.

Thanks
Best,

Justine Madonna

I thought the definity class was great. My abs were sore the next day (which is rare), and I thought the workout was intense enough for any and different fitness levels - with the ability to add light weights.

Thanks for the demo!

Anna Michalakis, MS

I enjoyed taking your Definity class. I liked the way the exercises flowed seamlessly one after the other. This flow made it seem like a short exercise class - the time flew by! The exercise intensity seemed just about right with weights on - not too challenging, yet not too easy either. The ab work was the best part for me - the exercises were unique and I really felt them working! I have exercised since I was 15, and I could feel the ab work the next day! Thank you again - enjoyed the hour getaway to do something productive.

Kim

I found the Definity class to be a very challenging low impact class.
The concept standing leg exercises are sort of like the barre warm-up in a dance class,
but these exercises are different from what you'd do in a dance class. ....
............. really creative toning exercises that you've never seen before.

P.S. My abs are still a little sore

TAO TE CHING VERSE 1 EMPOWERED SURRENDER – YOGA AND TRANSFORMATION

2011-02-13T05:34:00.000-08:00

TAO TE CHING VERSE 1 EMPOWERED SURRENDER – YOGA AND TRANSFORMATION

The Tao Te Ching is a great treasure house of Chinese wisdom written in the 6th century B.C., a classic work of spiritual enlightenment.

The Tao Te Ching provides the basis for the philosophical school of Taoism, which is an important pillar of Chinese thought. Taoism teaches that there is one undivided truth at the root of all things. It literally means:

tao (the way)

te (strength/virtue)

ching (scripture)

BECK TRANSLATION

The Way that can be described is not the absolute Way;

the name that can be given is not the absolute name.

Nameless it is the source of heaven and earth; named it is the mother of all things.

Whoever is desireless, sees the essence of life.

Whoever desires, sees its manifestations.

These two are the same,but what is produced has names.

They both may be called the cosmic mystery:

from the cosmic to the mystical is the door to the essence of all life.

As you begin the journey through the 81 verses of the TAO TE CHING with me, I would like to share this prayer.

Dear God,

If it be in accordance with your will,
I pray that this new age in human history
be a time of spiritual renaissance,
a "second Enlightenment" that will heighten values
and help everyone to realize their true purpose in life.
I pray for peace and justice,
and love and light.
I pray for an abundance of beauty, truth and goodness
in the lives of all the inhabitants of this troubled world.
May there be harmony, sustainability, and evolutionary progress.
Thank you for this gift of consciousness, dear God.
Amen - Steve McIntosh

Tao: the Universal, Invisible, All That Is. The Tao is the source of all, yet it remains unseen and it is Eternal. Once you let go and allow your life to unfold, you will begin to experience the Tao. The mystery and the physical things all come from the same place. There is nothing that is separate. The first verse focuses on the unity of opposites and the mysteriousness of the Tao itself.

YOGA

Yoga is a Sanskrit word that means "yoke," and yoke means "union" and "joining." Erich Schiffman describes this:

Yoga, then, is about cultivating the consciousness of your personal connection with the All and of living your daily life with this awareness.

Using your yoga practice to find balance in your body, look for tight, weak, unbalanced and sore spots. Then breathe into them and stretch them with variety of intensity. Using your internal intuition, make subtle adjustments as you search for tension. When you are really stress-free, the poses feel easier, and there will be a feeling of free-flowing unobstructed energy. This is where practice comes in!

Erich Schiffman: The word yoga, the way I think of it, means conscious union with the Infinite. It is not so much that you are re-yoking with the Infinite - you're already yoked with the Infinite - but pausing and feeling the energy that constitutes you and getting out of your head what you think you are supposed to do and giving yourself permission to do as the energy is wanting to do through you. That is how you evidence the inherent harmony of the oneness of the Infinite. Keep being a student of the one and only teacher, the Infinity of God, and dare to do as your deepest feelings prompt you to do. That's how you can help embody the realization of yoga in the world.

Here are some great poems and quotes about union and non-duality

Ramana Maharshi:

"You are awareness. Awareness is another name for you. Since

you are Awareness there is no need to attain or cultivate it. All

that you have to do is to give up being aware of other things, that

is of not-self. If one gives up being aware of them then pure

awareness alone remains, and that is the Self."

A POEM BY RUMI

RADIANCE

If ten lamps are in one place,

each differs in form from another;

yet you can't distinguish whose radiance is whose

when you focus on the light.

In the field of spirit there is no division;

no individuals exist.

Sweet is the oneness of the Friend with His friends.

Catch hold of spirit.

Help this headstrong self disintegrate;

that beneath it you may discover unity,

like a buried treasure.

Bhagavad Gita 4.34-35

Approach someone who has realized the purpose of life and question

him with reverence and devotion; he will instruct you in this wisdom.

Once you attain it, you will never be deluded. You will see all

creatures in the Self, and all in Me.

Yoga is a great way to get in touch with the present moment. I have been studying Ashtanga Yoga for a few decades now and I would like to share a few Yoga-isms with you from the father of Ashtanga Yoga.

Quotes from Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, 1915-2009

"Do your practice and all is coming."

"If we practice the science of yoga, which is useful to the entire human community and which yields happiness both here and hereafter - if we practice it without fail, we will then attain physical, mental, and spiritual happiness, and our minds will flood towards the Self”

"Yoga is possible for anybody who really wants it. Yoga is universal.

Yoga is not mine. But don't approach yoga with a business mind -

looking for worldly gain. If you want to be near God, turn your mind

toward God, and practice yoga."- Sri K Pattabhi Jois

Change your exercise routine frequently for best results

2010-09-22T04:51:00.000-07:00

"People whose routines are primarily made up of strength-training or cardio will also see a plateau. Sooner or later they have to change their routines up so that they continue to see results."
"Like anything new, your body will definitely respond faster to a class that offers a constant variety of moves."
"It's less about burning more calories while doing the exercise and more about building the muscles to burn more efficiently, so that even while you are resting, you are burning more calories."

Do you think you might have a person in your life who is a control freak, or do you fear you might bulldoze people into doing what you want, when you want it done?
Dwight D Eisenhower sums up it up best with this quote
Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.

Here are some things to ponder about control freaks.

UK family celebrity life coach Suzy Greaves created this list of scenarios that are good indicators that you exhibit signs of being a control freak at home.
1 Your child comes up with a great idea for a project at school. You say: 'That's great but I've got a better one!'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 If your partner disagrees with you, you get very annoyed and argue your point until you're blue in the face.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 Your favorite phrase is: 'You're doing it all wrong, give it to me!'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 For your annual holiday, you decide where you're going, book the flights, hotel and pack the bags.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 After a night out with your friends, you feel irritated. They were moaning on about the same things. You told them what to do last time.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6 You always have possession of the remote control.

We have all dealt with a supervisor at work who manages by force. I really like this quote from Dwight D Eisenhower: You don't lead by hitting people over the head-that's assault, not leadership.

Ron Lindeboom, Creativecow.net, wrote about doing business with controlling clients and here are a few signs of control freaks:
What Are the Tell-Tale Signs of a Control Freak?
It is fairly easy to spot a control freak in your business. They give off a long list of predictable signs that leave as indelible an impression as an alley cat scent marking its territory. Though there are many more signs that we won't cover here for the sake of brevity, some of these signs include:

They never seem to want to listen to you.
They regularly and with no regard interrupt you in mid-sentence.
Your ideas are not welcome, except when they agree 100% with those of the control freak.
They call you at inopportune times and will not get off the phone, even when you tell them you have another client present.
They will drop you like a rock if you correct them and are proven to be correct.
They will drop you like a rock if you are better than them in their field of endeavor.
They regularly complain that you are over charging them. (Never relent on this point and keep them on the clock or my only words to you are "Heaven help you.")
They will spend hours (if you let them) drowning you in trivia and detail on ideas and systems that will have you wanting to pull out your hair and send you running screaming from the room.
They will cheat you if they can get away with it and will always have brilliant reasonings and justifications as to why you deserve this.
They will spend way more than they owe you to beat you in court. Remember: They are control freaks.
Lastly, they know everything. Just ask them.
This list is in no way comprehensive but you get the point.

Life is like a mirror. If you frown at it, it frowns back. If you smile at it, it returns the greeting.
- Herbert Samuels

So many people spend so much time at work every week,. There are signs to watch for when choosing a position. Please be reminded that you are going to spend 40 or 50 hours per week with your boss and co-workers. Here are some words of wisdom about control freaks.

The Source: Cheryl Cran writing on the Brazen Careerist blog.
The Takeaway: Cran acknowledges that business people can take their desire for control too far, but she asserts that, in moderation, being a control freak is actually a positive attribute. Why?

1. Control freaks control their thoughts. This means they know what they want and can focus on their goals without distracting what-ifs and how-abouts.
2. Control freaks actually execute: no dreamy planning and little follow through for them.
3. Control freaks don’t wait for things to happen to them (can’t control luck and coincidence). Instead, they take positive action to get the things they want.
4. Focus, focus, focus.
5. Stability during change: team members can be sure that control freaks have their eye on the ball (or all the balls in the air) and this can make it easier for everyone to get through periods of change with a minimum of stress.

As you begin the journey through the 81 verses of the TAO TE CHING with me, I would like to share this prayer.

Dear God,
If it be in accordance with your will,I pray that this new age in human historybe a time of spiritual renaissance,a "second Enlightenment" that will heighten valuesand help everyone to realize their true purpose in life.I pray for peace and justice,and love and light.I pray for an abundance of beauty, truth and goodnessin the lives of all the inhabitants of this troubled world.May there be harmony, sustainability, and evolutionary progress.Thank you for this gift of consciousness, dear God.Amen - Steve McIntosh

Yoga is a great way to get in touch with the present moment. I have been studying Ashtanga Yoga for a few decades now and I would like to share a few Yoga-isms with you from the father of Ashtanga Yoga.

Quotes from Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, 1915-2009
"Do your practice and all is coming."

"If we practice the science of yoga, which is useful to the entire human community and which yields happiness both here and hereafter - if we practice it without fail, we will then attain physical, mental, and spiritual happiness, and our minds will flood towards the Self”

"Yoga is possible for anybody who really wants it. Yoga is universal.
Yoga is not mine. But don't approach yoga with a business mind -
looking for worldly gain. If you want to be near God, turn your mind
toward God, and practice yoga."- Sri K Pattabhi Jois

THE POWERFUL ALPHA STATE

2009-10-20T04:26:00.000-07:00

THE POWERFUL ALPHA STATE

The Alpha state of brain wave activity is a state of mind which is relaxed, but aware.
At the alpha state the brainwaves run at about 8 to 12 cycles per seconds or hertz.
The rest of our waking moments for the most part are in beta, the 'normal' state of 13-25 hertz.

A very creative and even more relaxed state is the theta state which is even slower than alpha, and an even deeper sense of relaxation. It is at the theta state that much creativity lies in our brains. Theta brainwaves are typically of even greater amplitude and slower frequency. This frequency range is normally between 5 and 8 cycles a second. A person who has taken time off from a task and begins to daydream is often in a theta brainwave state.

The Delta state is the brainwave activity we achieve during sleep. Here the brainwaves are of the greatest amplitude and slowest frequency. They typically range between 1.5 to 4 cycles per second.

The Alpha State is where we want to be as often as possible. Jesie Len Gallagher, BSW, CH, CI writes;
However it is achieved, the therapeutic benefits are similar. When in the alpha state, one is lifted to a place inside where there is peace and order, where all is well and makes sense. When the human system is relaxed, the natural harmony in consciousness can take over, and the inner light can put things in place.

William Dorich, writer of five books writes about Western over-stimulation and the need to disconnect from it……
Our over analytical approach to realty and addiction to over stimulation makes it difficult for Western Civilization to get a grip on the concept of meditation, let alone practice it. The good news is that we are naturally predisposed to enter into an Alpha state every 90 minutes of the day. However, we grab a Starbucks instead of a siesta and press on. As one Beta wave compounds on top of another, it makes it increasingly difficult to disengage at the end of the day. When our head finally does hit the pillow at night, we skip the Alpha phase and move directly into Theta or Delta. Since Alpha is where the rejuvenation process takes place, we may find ourselves waking up exhausted simply to start the entire process over again, consequently developing a chronic stress pattern that can lead to diminished vitality and depression.

There are three ways to enter the alpha state: MEDITATION, YOGA, AND RELAXATION.

Meditation— Meditation has been used for years to achieve the tranquil state of mind and to stay in it for longer durations of time. During meditation, you relax and calm the mind, and focus on your breathing and letting go of thoughts. Natural healing occurs during this deep relaxation. It promotes regeneration, youthfulness, joy and expansion.

Yoga-- Yoga practitioners are aware of the connection between both mind and body. The pranayama, or rhythmic breathing, allows for integration of the mind and body using the breath as the catalyst. At the end of a session, a relaxed meditative state allows one to absorb the full benefit of the discipline as one prepares to re-enter the world of daily activities.

Practicing yoga can have a major impact on many aspects of your life. Practicing different poses can help improve flexibility, movement of joints, and add muscle tone. Yoga also has a profound effect on your mood. Yoga helps to decrease anxiety, depression, and worrying and it helps to increase concentration, memory, and well-being. Adding yoga to your life can help build your immune system and yoga can increase your energy.

Relaxation--- Relaxation brings health and well being to your body. It allows for controlled thought, which produces more productive, clear, and calm decisions. You feel more of a sense of peace, and feelings of wellness, which allows happiness and true contentment to abound in your life. Relaxation is a conduit for intuition, and you will be able to make decisions effortlessly. Relationships of all kinds will be easier to manage, and everything will flow more easily.

You can attain the Alpha State every day by meditating on your chakras daily.
There are seven chakras – each one associated with the primary colors.
This is the chakra meditation I use daily.
Chakras

1. ROOT CHAKRA: BASE OF SPINE: KUNDALINI CHAKRA. Starting point of the body’s life energy and seat of basic molecular health and balance. GROUNDING AND ABUNDANCE- RED
2. PELVIS PLEXUS: SACRAL CHAKRA. Origin of erotic passion and biological creation. CREATIVITY AND SEXUALITY- ORANGE
3. SOLAR PLEXUS: NAVAL CHAKRA. Center point of physical and spiritual balance; sense of self and inner calm. POWER - YELLOW
4. CARDIAC PLEXUS: HEART CHAKRA. Center of compassion; can infuse all other chakras with this aspect. LOVE AND COMPASSION - GREEN
5. VAGUS NERVE AND CERVICAL GANGLION: THROAT CHAKRA. Communication and self expression – THROAT- BLUE
6. PINEAL GLAND: MENTAL CHAKRA. Third Eye, PERCEPTION- INDIGO
7. CROWN CHAKRA- PITUITARY GLAND: SPIRITUAL CHAKRA. Top of head; sense of perspective and unity; symbolized by the Thousand Petaled Lotus. SPIRIT AND HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS – PURPLE OR WHITE

Achievement of the Alpha state is most beneficial for optimal health. To your good health!

Be Someone

2009-09-26T05:23:00.000-07:00

I want to share this with all of you -
It is truly inspiring (in spirit)
Be Someone
Be someone who listens, and you will be heard. Be someone who cares,
and you will be loved. Be someone who gives, and you will be blessed. Be
someone who comforts, and you will know peace.

Be someone who genuinely seeks to understand, and you will be wise. Be
someone kind, someone considerate, and you will be admired. Be someone
who values truth, and you will be respected. Be someone who takes
action, and you will move life forward.

Be someone who lifts others higher, and your life will be rich. Be someone
filled with gratitude, and there will be no end to the things for which
you’ll be thankful.

Be someone who lives with joy, with purpose, as your own light brightly
shines. Be, in every moment, the special someone you are truly meant to
be.

– Ralph Marston

Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Angie Kielar Speaks Out about the ever-changing Power Yoga Practice

2009-08-29T07:41:00.000-07:00

ASHTANGA YOGA IS FOR EVERY BODY
Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Angie Kielar Speaks Out about the ever-changing Power Yoga Practice

This was written with the intention of explaining why the entire path of Ashtanga Yoga is accessible to all modern practitioners. The fundamentals of breath, bandhas (energy locks within the body), drishti (the focal point of the gaze), and vinyasa (sequential movement) are the basic foundations of the traditional Ashtanga Yoga system as taught by the late Sri Krishna Pattabhi Jois. I am happy to say I had the honor of studying with the guru in Colorado almost a decade ago. At that time, Sri Krishna Pattabhi Jois traveled and taught all over the world with his daughter and grandson. Jois would teach several hundred students at a time, who would turn up to workshops. Richard Freeman organized the Boulder, Colorado event that I attended.

I recall meeting Sri Krishna Pattabhi Jois, and having pictures taken with him, his daughter and his grandson, Saraswathi Rangaswamy, Sharath respectively. Saraswathi Rangaswamy encouraged me to keep working on my lotus by commenting "It will come".

Just as Lotus came, it also went. I recently sustained a sprained right knee from an accidental fall. It has been a few weeks, and the recovery is coming, but I am patiently waiting to resume my full practice. The lesson I learn from every injury is how to work around it, and that despite minor setbacks, that I can still practice Ashtanga yoga.
The lesson for all want-to-be Ashtanga Yoga (power yoga) practioners is that regardless of your level, YOU CAN PRACTICE!

Yoga for Inflexible People
Yoga increases muscular strength, reduces tension and stress, has a low potential for injury, is non-competitive, has spiritual and psychological benefits, and a 5000 year track record. Yoga postures, or asanas, range from simple bending and twisting to contortionist types which are reserved for the most advanced practitioners.
The yoga postures developed 5,000 years ago were not created for people who are already flexible, but rather to help inflexible people to become more flexible. A wide range of poses are taught and modified to help both beginning and intermediate students experience the benefits of yoga. No matter how flexible you are, a competent teacher can help you find a modified version of every posture that YOUR body can assume.

Guidelines of Practice for getting started at home or in the studio

Anyone can develop a yoga practice. Those who posses a sincere desire to grow and learn and have the patience to persist are sure to be successful in the path of yoga. Yoga is especially recommended to those who are inflexible!

While yoga can be practiced any time of the day, Ashtanga Yoga practice is best undertaken in the early morning. This is a time when the environment is most free of worldly distraction. If this is not possible, then find a time that you may dedicate each day to the development of your practice. It is very helpful to practice at the same time each day, but if that is difficult for you, then just practice whenever you can.

Traditionally, Ashtanga yoga is practiced 6 days per week with one day taken as a rest day (usually Saturday). A minimum of 3 days per week is acceptable for beginners.
Famous words from my guru ~ Yoga is 99% practice and 1% theory. ~ Sri Krishna Pattabhi Jois

The practice environment should be one that is pleasant, clean and free of distractions. I prefer to warm the room I practice in to about 90 degrees, but that would be too warm for others.

Clothing should allow for maximum movement and allow the skin to sweat. The feet will be bare. I prefer to wear a racerback cotton/lycra blend close fitting sports top with the same material pant.

As a general rule, one should begin with an empty stomach and calm mind. Practice about 2-3 hours after a full meal and about 1 hour after light food. Additionally, resist the urge to drink water during the practice session, as this will cool the digestive fire generated during practice. Drink plenty of water following your practice session.

It is recommended that you have your own yoga mat. Also, if you are particularly sweaty in your practice, a cotton rug or “skidless” is helpful. Props may be included. This would include for example, yoga bricks or belts may be used or even the wall.

Special notes for Yogis and Yoginis new to Yoga: You will notice an occasional soreness develop in the muscles from practice. It's important to keep with the practice. It is helpful to begin your practice slowly and patiently. Your body will "open" and become more flexible over time. I have been practicing yoga for many decades and teaching for over 10 years. I can assure you that regular practice has allowed me to attain an intermediate / advanced level with help from my teachers, the late Pattabhi Jois, Tim Miller, Trevor Monk, Bryan Kest, Veronica Zador, Sequoia Neptune, Baron Baptiste, to name a few.

I would like to end this article with a few words of wisdom regarding the practice.

"There is no need to be overwhelmed by the many dimensions of Ashtanga; just come in and take from it what you want." --Kathy McNames, co-owner of Yoga Vermont, Burlington's Ashtanga studio

"After asana & pranayama are perfect, pratyahara, sense control [the fifth limb of ashtanga yoga], follows. The first four limbs are external exercises: yama, niyama, asana, pranayama. The last four are internal, and they automatically follow when the first four are mastered. Pratyahara means that anywhere you look, you see God. Good mind control gives that capacity, so that when you look, everything you see is Atman (the God within). Then for you the world is colored by God. Whatever you see, you identify it with your Atman. The scriptures say that a true yogi's mind is so absorbed in the lotus feet of the Lord that nothing distracts him, no matter what happens in the external world."
"Do your practice and all is coming."---Pattabhi Jois, originator of Ashtanga Yoga

TRY YOGA

2009-08-16T06:27:00.000-07:00

NEWS RELEASE April 1, 2009 Yoga and the economy- Yoga is the solution!
Yoga, the most economical of wellness systems ever created, can help YOU through economic hard times. We need millions of people to practice yoga worldwide, because the power of yoga can help raise spirits and bring back a universal balance.
MICHIGAN IS THE HOME OF THE BIG THREE AUTO MAKERS, AND THE HOME OF MIND BODY AND SPIRIT STRENGTHENING.

YOGA -MIND BODY EXERCISE,-DIET,
We all need to turn to yoga. Or, if you are already a regular practitioner, turn to yoga more: more often, more intensely. Uniting in a national effort to raise consciousness, we will generate a powerful movement which will lift the clouds of anxiousness that are now over us. Yoga is a sacred practice for personal growth and everybody is entitled to find peace.
Here is a quote from Yogia Bhajan, "It is [the] yoga which allows an ordinary person to live in this world, experience of the ecstasy of consciousness, then use this consciousness to serve humanity." BKS Iyengar sheds light on yoga's benefits: "Yoga, as it was understood by its sages, is designed to satisfy all human needs in a comprehensive, seamless whole...Yoga allows you to rediscover a sense of wholeness in your life where you do not feel like you are constantly trying to fit the broken pieces together."

A great modern yoga master, B.K.S. Iyengar, precisely defines the common, everyday life: "The life of a householder is difficult, and it always has been. Most of us encounter hardship and suffering, and many are plagued by physical and emotional pain, stress, sadness, loneliness, and anxiety. While we often think of these as the problems caused by the demands of modern life, human life has always had the same hardships and the same challenges-making a living, raising a family, and finding meaning and purpose."

Breathing, exercise (postures or asanas), and mindful consciousness work together with your diet to allow you to feel whole. During these challenging times, we need mind-body practice more~!

CANKLES WHAT ARE THEY AND SOME UNIQUE WAYS TO EXERCISE TO GET RID OF THEM

2009-08-16T05:51:00.000-07:00

THERE ARE SOME UNIQUE WAYS TO IMPROVE CANKLES- WRITTEN BY ANGELA KIELAR, CPT

What are cankles, you ask? The Urban Dictionary has quite a few definitions and here is the top rated one: The area in affected female legs where the calf meets the foot in an abrupt, nontapering terminus; medical cause: adipose tissue surrounding the soleus tendon, probably congenital, worsened by weight gain and improved in appearance only by boots. From the English "calf" meaning wide portion of the lower leg, and "ankle" meaning slender joint of leg with foot.

On a recent Good Morning America clip , Juju Chang offers a history of the cankle outbreak, explaining they're "associated with pregnant ladies, the elderly, and the obese, but even skinny people can suffer from the 'curse of cankles.'" (Both Miley Cyrus and Jennifer Aniston have been afflicted!)

Brandy "Gotta pocket full o' sunshine" B. says: I was standing behind this girl at the bank about a month ago. She was pretty, probably about a size 6, her hips were a bit big (total hourglass features). Anyhow, she had on a tank top and some capri's... her ankles were the same EXACT size as her calves..no joke. I felt so bad for her...it's like her legs had eaten her ankles and somehow just flowed into her flip flops.

Men do not seem to like cankles at all. Tim "I’m going to shaBOOMS" o. says:
I was always told it means the girl is gonna be big when she's older... cankles(bad legs in general) are a deal breaker

July is cankles awareness month. New shows mentioned some solutions:
Traditional calf exercises, Squats with heel raises, Jumping rope, Liposuction.
Style expert and author Sam Saboura tells Gold's Gym cankle-frighteners to avoid sandals and shoes with ankle straps, tight "skinny" jeans that bunch at the bottoms and bright socks. Stick to wedges, boot cut jeans and flowy fabrics around the lower leg for effective cankle camouflage.

Here are some new ideas from American Council on Exercise certified personal trainer, ANGELA KIELAR, of Fitness Rx, Farmington Hills, MI
Begin a step mill exercise program for a minimum of 30 minutes per day five days per week
Climb stairs as often as possible
Purchase shape up shoes and wear them a minimum of 30 minutes per day, every day
Lose weight
Do not bring attention to your cankles by wearing Capri pants and shoes with ankle straps
No ankle tatoos
You can always hide your cankles if you choose!

With the dawning of the New Year upon us, so many are looking for ways to keep up their New Year’s Resolutions to lose weight and to start an exercise program. The solutions include hiring a personal trainer to get you and keep you going, join in an exercise class where you pay for the session in advance (thereby inducing a guilt factor because you paid in advance) and the low budget cross training!

Cross-training is the method in which you blend a series of different activities into your workouts.
For instance, instead of running every day or biking every day, cross-training allows you to delve into a variety of exercise routines. These different activities can vary from day to day or within that day's session. Here is an example: Devote 15 minutes to the treadmill, 15 on the exercise bike, weight training for another 15 minutes, and then take on an aerobics class.
The benefits of cross training include:
Prevent Injuries; Cross Training gives your primary muscles a chance to rest and recuperate. For example, running primarily uses the hamstring and calf muscles. Many runners that experience injuries do so because they over-train. When you chose an alternate activity, you allow the primary muscles to heal and rebuild and other supporting muscles to get stronger. This is all done while still getting a good cardiovascular workout to strengthen your heart and lungs.
Increase Performance & Power; Again, using running as an example, the hamstrings and calf muscles see most of the strain and are usually a runner’s strongest muscles. During races, many runners can lose steam because of sore quadriceps, or weak abs that make them hunch over when they tire; or arms that swing in an uncontrolled & fatigued state across their bodies. These other muscles can help pull a runner through in a race. They can help increase speed, endurance, and overall strength.
Increased Motivation; Repetition can lead to boredom, making our workout routine stale. By adding in this element of change every so often, our alternate workouts can keep us fresh and focused on our goals.
Added Flexibility & Stability; Even football linebackers credit their performance to the addition of martial arts, yoga, and dance!? By adding in those other training tools, they increased their balance and stability which allowed them to elude 300 pound tackles and yet still be agile enough to take down speedy quarterbacks & running backs. Cross training creates a balance within our muscle groups and gives us stability and flexibility that can enhance our overall performance and training.
When we cross train, we get a more complete fitness program making us better athletes. The alternate activity you choose should be one that keeps up your cardiovascular conditioning, uses different primary muscles, yet is convenient and fun enough to keep your enthusiasm and excitement up. Below is a quick list of some other formats that are good workouts, and the primary muscles that you’ll use:
Cycling – Quadriceps & Shins
Swimming – Shoulders, Arms, & Legs
Yoga- Full Body strength, endurance and flexibility
Pilates – Core, Back, Buttocks, & Hips
Boot Camp – Legs, Upper Body, Core & Endurance

TRAIN YOUR BRAIN TO THINK LIKE A THIN PERSON

2009-08-15T12:23:00.000-07:00

This info is very helpful to anyone who struggles with yo-yo type dieting where they lose weight, and then gain it all back and then some......

Dr. Judith Beck's The Beck Diet Solution: Train Your Brain to Think Like a Thin Person

"Almost everybody has the idea that once they stop dieting, they'll be able to eat whatever they want, but that is absolutely false," according to Judy. Slim, energetic, and incredibly empathetic even when making tough-love pronouncements, she was a veteran yo-yo dieter who lost 15 pounds ten years ago and has kept it off ever since. "I had to accept that for the rest of my life, I would have to eat differently from how I used to eat," she said. "When I work with people, I stress this from the first day. It's not a popular message, especially with so many fad diets around, but I don't see any point in losing weight if you're just going to gain it back." What's more, she added, "I've discovered that to some degree almost every thin person restricts what she eats. We all need to learn to do that. When the going gets tough, we have to keep reminding ourselves of the advantages of maintaining a healthy weight."

"Almost every dieter has difficulty distinguishing between true hunger, a desire to eat, and cravings," she explained. "And most people who struggle with weight loss tend to feel hunger pangs intensely and often eat to avoid those feelings. But the point is, hunger comes and goes. Thin people know this and don't worry about being hungry."

"Purposely skipping a meal is the only way to prove to yourself that you can withstand hunger," she says. "We have to get you over the fear of being hungry if you want to keep weight off for the rest of your life."
"It would be good—in fact it's 100 percent necessary—for you not to be afraid of hunger so you can maintain your weight loss your whole life."

MILLIONS SEEK WEIGHT LOSS ON NATIONAL PERSONAL TRAINER AWARENESS DAY (FARMINGON HILLS, MI) – Aug 15-09 -- -- Every January 2nd millions of Americans, armed with their latest resolution they made the day before to lose weight and get in shape, start their annual attempt at making this the year they make positive, permanent healthy lifestyle changes. By February most of the ambition has faded and virtually all have returned to their familiar position - plopped in front of the television eating God knows what. National Personal Trainer Awareness Day was founded with the hopes of preventing this from continuing to happen.

"Personal trainers play a crucial role in helping people actually achieve their health and fitness goals", said Angie Kielar, a fitness expert based out of Farmington Hills. She went on to add "Trainers are highly educated and are not the tank top wearing 'muscle-heads' many people associate with the word personal trainer."
Angie Kielar believes that today's fitness professionals are able to help people in a number of important ways:

-- Designing fitness programs that achieve far greater results in much less time than most people think possible.
-- Decrease their risk of injury while exercising significantly.
-- Keeping them motivated and help them set realistic goals.
-- Acting as a role model and support person to help them stay focused on living a healthy lifestyle.

Angie Kielar offers up the following suggestions for selecting the right trainer:
1) Ask your inner circle of friends, business associates or family if they know of any local trainers. The best trainers are usually found by word of mouth referral.
2) Define your goals and interview several trainers who specialize in working with people just like you. If you want general fitness conditioning you are not going to hire a trainer who specializes in training power lifters.
3) Try several trainers before you make your final choice. Most trainers will offer a trial period to see if personalities are compatible.
4) Take the time to check references and learn about the trainer’s background. A good trainer will provide a potential client with references of a few past and current clients as well as the sources of their certifications or degrees.
