Yoga-star Rodney Yee’s new DVD gives us no excuses for not waking up and doing yoga every morning. You won’t get bored as the DVD contains five different yoga sessions, allowing you to choose from standing poses, twists, backbends, forward bends or hip opening poses. You can easily fit yoga into your busy day with each practice being only 20-minutes long, and unlike other 20-minute yoga videos, these sessions all end with a proper shavasana/relaxation pose.
Let’s face it, Yoga is big business. Even the most devoted practitioners and teachers strive to earn at least a modest living by sharing what they love. There is no getting around it. No matter how genuine your practice, if you step into a yoga class you are wearing the clothes, using the mat, listening to the music, and reading the books and magazines. We all dream of the retreats on deserted islands and the trainings that last for weeks. And all of these things, from classes to clothing come with a price. Even those places that we deem sanctuaries of authenticity are a business behind it all.
Awareness (samvedana) is an essential practice in yoga. Conscious attention to detail is important while practicing yoga poses to create proper alignment and to prevent injury. And cultivating moment-to-moment awareness on and off our yoga mats removes unconscious patterns of movement and thought, illuminates our physical, mental and emotional states and gives us the gratitude and appreciation for the small miracles and simple blessings in our everyday lives.
I know from firsthand experience the tolls that working on a computer for extended hours can take on the body. This book addresses these stresses and strains of the hands, shoulders and neck through yoga exercises and stretches, practiced at your desk or on your yoga mat. With only 23 illustrated poses this book is accessible and most importantly, not overwhelming to the average office worker. The poses themselves are simple and easy to do and include modifications with props for those with limited flexibility.
The politics of geographical boundaries are incredibly complicated, and engulfed in years and sometimes generations of dispute. Here in the US, the illegal immigration of Mexicans across the borders in California and Texas remains high on the political agenda, but the issues and conflicts it inspires remain unresolved. But, on the afternoon of Sunday June 22, a group from San Diego called The Border Meetup sought not to divide the two nations but to find the gift of unity through yoga mats.
