Yoga is...

sometimes dancing like a total nerd to yoga music and calling it a yoga practice for that day.


Sure, traditional practice is cool, can't live without it. But sometimes I set out to practice, and start out solid, but somehow feel like REALLY moving around. So I admit, I love some of that yoga music that some people might think quite silly, and when I want to move around, DANCE around and do yoga-like things, I have no problem calling that my yoga practice, and do! What's nice is that I get good and tired and hot and limber and then can enjoy all the spoils of that warm limberness by taking long yin yoga poses and bringing myself back down to earth again. Hmmmm....yogarobics?
Just kidding. That sounds horrible.

When, or if, you decide to become a Yoga teacher, you should start with a basic Yoga teacher training course that gives you an overview of all of the fields within Yoga. If you decide to specialize, it is best to do it when the need becomes apparent.

Hi,

I was browsing the internet and by chance I came across your great blog. I was particularly interested to learn that you regularly write about Yoga.

I thought of getting in touch, since you and your readers may be interested in "Stillness Buddy", a software application I've just launched last week.

Stillness Buddy helps people to remain mindful of the present moment, relaxed and at peace, while working at the computer.

It works by displaying short "moments of stillness" and longer "mindfulness pauses", interspersed during the day. These breaks are designed to be very brief, so that they don't interfere with work. You can choose their duration and frequency, to suit your preferences and schedule.

By regularly practising the stillness and mindfulness exercises presented during the breaks, Stillness Buddy quickly and effectively helps to:
* Cultivate a deep sense of peace and stillness in your every day life.
* Remain in touch with the joy and love that you are.
* Be more relaxed in your body, less tense.
* Work in a more mindful, alert and stress-free manner
* Live more and more in the present moment

Stillness Buddy is for those of us who want to be more at peace and aware of the present moment, in the midst of our busy lives. It is also a great tool if you want to feel less tense and stressed. It is suitable for people of all walks of life, regardless of their spiritual practice or religious background.

You can find more about Stillness Buddy and download a 30-day free trial, at https://www.stillnessbuddy.com

If you like the application, would you be able to review it on your blog? I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me to spread the word.

In return, I'd be happy to provide you with a free, licensed copy of Stillness Buddy and to arrange a special discount for your readers, when they mention your name.

Also, I am setting up an affiliate program, which should be ready in about a month, which may be of interest to you too.

I look forward to hearing from you,

Hector

Yeah, I love the yoga and the dance too. i'm a musician, so I created some synchronized music to use with Sun Salutation B Series (with a little variation). I packaged it in an iPhone/iPod App called Power Up 8, "a six minute vinyasa in your pocket." The thing is that once you finish you are totally warm and empowered, and it's easy to keep going with more asanas that you love. (And the pace of the music helps you lose yourself in it.)

Thanks for sharing and stimulating this smile on my face. You are clever!

Nice post. Yoga is best for your health. I tried it many times, really amazing... It makes me feel comfortable and gives me more energy. This routine will emphasize re-aligning the body, and developing the breathing. An aligned body moves more efficiently and resists injury, while learning yogic breathing can help both newer and experienced runners develop greater aerobic capacity.I am very curious about this exercise. Nice Work...
