  • Wrist Injuries Proper Alignment of the Hands and Balanced Muscle Tone in the Forearms Can Protect Vulnerable Wrists
    { asana solutions } Healing (and Preventing)Wrist Injuries Proper alignment of the hands and balanced muscle tone in the forearms can protect vulnerable wrists. By doug keller Few things put the brakes on a yoga practice like a wrist injury. And though it may seem like the injury is the result of your practice, the cause actually lies in the imbalanced way we use our wrists in daily life. Once we become aware of these imbalances, asana practice can become a powerful tool for correcting them. The health of our wrists depends upon such as virabhadrasana II (warrior 2), the strength and tone of the muscles we aim to keep the arms lifted and on the tops and bottoms of our fore- extended, thus opening the chest. No arms, as well as upon how thought- weight is placed on the hands, but fully we bear weight on our hands and holding the arms up makes the tops of wrists.

  • Sun Salutes/Surya Namaskar
    JOHN THURMAN YOGA | 202.669.1611 — [email protected] — johnthurmanyoga.com Sun Salutes/Surya Namaskar Prepared by: John Thurman, E-RYT-500 All Rights Reserved. Not to be used without permission. Page 1 of 6 JOHN THURMAN YOGA About John John has been practicing yoga since 2001, and now teaches Ashtanga-inspired, Power and Rocket Yoga classes. John seeks to provide a challenging and fun environment for all levels of students to learn and cultivate their yoga practice. He trained under the internationally recognized yoga teacher Mimi Rieger in her unique Power Yoga-style, but the Iyengar, Restorative, and Vinyasa traditions, along with pranayama and mediation, also influence his practice and teachings. John’s extensive physical background includes football, triathlons, weight lifting, high-intensity training, and running. John was a U.S. Army officer for over twenty years and credits yoga for improving both his physical and mental well-being. Why practice Sun Salutes? Surya (Sun) Namaskars (Namas=to bow, ka=to do) have been practiced in various forms for thousands of years. The ritual of acknowledging the sun’s role in our lives has been woven into many cultures. The particular form of exercise and mediation that is laid out here comes from the Ashtanga tradition. This sequence itself is fairly modern and has its roots in the work of Krishnamacharya in the 1930s. It is often practiced after doing integration work, to wake up the body, as a warm-up to the rest of the practice. You may recognize its cousin, the burpee from a calisthenics practice. By moving the body through a range of motion in a mindful and deliberate way connected with breath, you allow the yoga practitioner to begin to connect the mind back with body as well as build up some heat.

  • Yoga and Seasonal Affective Disorder
    Yoga and Seasonal Affective Disorder Oak Tree, Snowtorm by Ansel Adams Niki Ludington Prairie Yoga 200 Hour Foundation Teacher Training 2011-2012 0 The photographs of famed artist Ansel Adams are a breathtakingly beautiful tribute to nature and the seasons. His talent at capturing the mood of the gray winter months has made his work widely respected and popular. His photograph Oak Tree, Snowstorm printed on the title page of this thesis is an example of his work. Some people may look at the photo and be awed by the beauty and splendor of the gray shadows and snow. However, others may have a very different reaction. They may look at the photo and be reminded of the nightmare of depression, fatigue, lethargy, and hopelessness they feel each year during the winter months. These people may suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder and the intent of this thesis is to explore how yoga can help them. What is Seasonal Affective Disorder? Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a form of major depression that corresponds to seasonal changes during the year. People with SAD generally experience recurring depression beginning in late fall or early winter, which alternates with periods of a high or normal mood during the rest of the year. SAD is linked to the changing levels of light during the year. SAD is described as an “energy crisis” in which many physical and mental functions of the body are affected. Typical characteristics of SAD are: oversleeping or disturbed sleep, daytime fatigue, increased cravings for carbohydrates, weight gain, difficulty concentrating and processing information.

Page 76 Page #2 HEAD & NECK Resolving Neck Tension DOUG KELLER Pulling ourselves up by our “neckstraps” is an unconscious, painful habit. The solution is surprisingly simple. When we carry ourselves with the head thrust forward, we create neck pain, shoul- der tension, even disc herniation and lower back problems. A reliable cue to re- mind ourselves how to shift the head back into a more stress-free position would do wonders for resolving these problems, but first we have to know what we’re up against. When it comes to keeping our head in the right place, posturally speaking, the neck is at something of a disadvantage. There are a number of forces at work that can easily pull the neck into misalignment, but only a few forces that maintain the delicate alignment of the head on the spine, allowing all the supporting muscles to work in harmony. Page #3 HEAD & NECK The problem begins with the large muscles that converge at the back of the neck and attach to the base of the skull. These include the muscles of the spine as well as those running from the top of the breastbone along the sides of the neck (the sternocleidomastoids) to the base of the head.

  • Virabhadrasana-1.Pdf
    VīrabhadrāsanaBy Arti IH. Mehta Guruji tells us time and again that while performing any āsana, observe what you are doing, observe what is happening - unknowingly. He always tells us to reflect on our actions. Most often than not, we are satisfied with doing the pose but we have to learn to do the āsana - wherein there is complete engrossment - i.e. a meditative state. Guruji does not use the word “meditation” but he has made us go into that state in whatev- er āsana we are doing in his presence. However, we are unable to achieve the same during our own practices. Guruji’s knowledge about the human body and mind is unimaginable. Without looking at the student, he can rightly state what exactly we are do- ing or not doing in any āsana. In this article, we have compiled how the mind and attention wanders and the common errors that we tend to make while doing Vīrabhadrāsana I, and, how to adjust ourselves to attain perfection in this āsana. This article has to be read in conjunction withLight on Yoga and Yoga in Action. Guruji says, “Vīrabhadrāsana I is the first step for all backbends. I f you do not know how to do Vīrabhadrāsana I correctly then you will never learn backbends in totality – even if you are doing them. But if you capture the total movement of Vīrabhadrāsana I, observing part by part, then you can transmit those adjustments from Vīrabhadrāsana I to the backbends.
