Sophie GeorgePublished 6 years ago in LongevityWhy Men Should Practice Yoga...
“It’s just for girls, it’s not proper exercise” The very real words spoken by my boyfriend when I suggested he tried Yoga. Due to widespread advertising that includes beautiful women smiling in yoga pants, hipster coffee shops/art galleries holding yoga mornings for mothers and babies and newly gentrified, artsy areas of trendy cities becoming hubs for yoga studios, the wide spread perception that Yoga is for yummy mummy's and nimble, young, 20 something indie females is one that you would be forgiven for believing. However, I am here to tell you that you are wrong. Yoga, in its many forms, is for everyone. In fact, I see more and more men join my classes every week!
Samantha BentleyPublished 6 years ago in LongevityWhy Yoga Is My Choice of Exercise
As we all know, it's recommended by health experts that we do a minimum amount of exercise each week. Most people think that means things like running and cycling or swimming; the high-impact, fast-paced athletic sports. But what about those that don't have the time? Who can't afford a bicycle or running shoes? Who really would rather not go outside or to a gym where everyone can see them? If you fall into any of these categories, then I'm asking you to try yoga.
Making Daily Yoga Practice Less Daunting
We begin with the most lofty aspirations as yogis. "I'm going to do personal practice an hour twice a day", "I'm going to go to group practice four times a week", "I'm going to do a retreat each season..." For some of us, these gigantic goals become stumbling blocks that hinder our practice altogether. For those who aim high only to pull a no show before the game begins, here are a few suggestions as to how to follow through.

Yoga is easily one of the best forms of exercising of all time and there are many different types. Despite the fact that the poses do strengthen your muscles, they relax you, as well — mostly mentally. Yoga relieves stress and pain — basically draining your thoughts away.

A Morning Routine to Make the Most of Your Day
Waking up this morning, I smile. 24 brand new hours are before me. I vow to live fully in each moment.–Thich Nhat Hanh I used to struggle a lot to wake up in the morning and do something for myself. I would feel like a complete failure every time I snoozed the 5 a.m. alarm. I would look at my phone, turn it off, and go back to sleep. It didn't matter how good the plan was on my notebook or how much advice I had taken from articles or books on "how to be an early riser;" it would not simply work out.
Vanessa DiasPublished 7 years ago in Longevity Shifting from Discipline to Ritual
Habits. If you’re into the world of self-improvement and personal growth, you’ve probably spent some time revising, breaking, and introducing new ones into your daily regime. Whether that activity is an exercise, doing something creative daily, or taking a quiet moment for oneself, in the beginning forming a habit can be a challenging process that requires energy and dedication.
Do Yoga for Mobility
All yoga asanas are a combination of strength, flexibility, mobility, and balance. Using our muscles to support our foundation or hold a certain pose is something we can all definitely feel while we’re practicing, but we’re rarely aware of the hard work our ligaments, tendons, and joints do in order to make everything run smoothly.
