All about the Breath

The fourth principal of the eight branches of yoga is Pranayama. Pranayama is the art of breath control. In a Yogic point of view, proper breathing brings more oxygen to the blood and to the brain, and control the vital life energy within our bodies.

Everyone knows how to breathe, but few understand how to utilize the breath to manage emotions, moods, organs and even the mind.

That is why I wanted to share this website and advise you to add it to your bookmarks. Pranayama Yoga Breathing website is the place for everything about your breath. Discover the different methods and styles as you learn about the benefits of proper breathing. Finally, make sure, while on the site, your volume is up, as you listen to the host demonstration Ujjayi breath.

Enjoy and take a moment to Breathe.

My Raja Yoga

2011-11-18T12:55:00.001-08:00

Life could be so much better for many people, if they would just stop their negative thinking habits and replace them with positive ones.

Easier said than done! Here is a blogger who spends time reminding us to replace negative with positive thinking. Raja Yoga literally means Royal or Kingly Yoga. It is primarily concerned with the cultivation of the mind and bringing balance to one's life through meditation. A Raja Yogi is one who has a mental link with the Supreme Soul within, the source of all goodness and positive thinking.

My Raja Yoga is an inspirational blog with motivational tips and meditational practices that will cultivate peace and stillness into your life. And who could not use a little peace of mind in our world today?

Here is a small meditation video taking from the webpage of My Raja Yoga.

Take some time and check out My Raja Yoga to build some positive thinking into your day.

Newbie Yoga

2011-07-13T15:49:00.000-07:00

My sister-in-law recently went through a battle with lung cancer. Now an ex-smoker she was blessed with early detection and is cancer free. After surgery, chemo and radiation she is now back at work, growing her hair back and slowly getting back into exercise. I suggested yoga and her first response was "no, I can not balance." She spoke with her doc on my urging and of course he thought it would be good for her. I can not wait to show her this fantastic site which seems to be written just for her! wink wink

Newbie Yoga is loaded with great information for those just starting out as well as those who are already practicing. The menu is full of topics I love to explore like the benefits of yoga, yoga styles, yoga history and more. Not to mention the additional meditation menu. That sealed the deal for me. Definitely a bookmarkable yoga site!

ENJOY your exploration on NEWBIE YOGA!
