  • 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.

  • 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.
