Yoga for Kids
Yoga indeed has become a popular, mainstream alternative for exercise and fitness. Here in Los Angeles, hardly a day goes by that I don't see people walking by with their Yoga Mats rolled up underneath their arms coming from or going to their Yoga class.

“Adho Mukha Svanasana’s” and “Adho Mukha Vrksasana’s” surprising benefits and importance
Adho Mukha Svanasana’s benefits and importance When we look up the meaning of each word in this asana, we find that they are pretty simple words. "Adho Mukh" means "downward-facing," and "Svana" means "dog." This would be a downward dog position. This position is similar to a dog stretching its front and hind legs. As a result, this asana has been given this name.

Adiyogi
Probably about 40,000 years ago… Vashishtha’s eyes were closed. He sat in a cross-legged posture, with his left heel gently pushing his perineum, the soft tissue just above his anal outlet. His right leg lay relaxed next to his left. His back was comfortably erect. His body was in complete rest. His breath moved in a rhythm that was slow & deliberate - about 3 cycles per minute, much lower that than the 12-15 cycles normal to a human at rest. His mind was calm, yet alert, supremely focused, but with no unconscious thought of its own. His energies were in complete sync with those of the cosmos & the elements of nature. His lips didn’t move. But vibrations of A-U-M reverberated from his being. His entire being was motionless, yet completely & utterly in union with all aspects of life within & outside him. He was in pure, unadultered bliss. Vashishtha was in Samadhi : Sam+Adi - Return to Origin – a state beyond space-time where he was in touch with the source of creation within himself.

10 different types of Yoga Styles and their utilities
Early religious documents in India called the “Vedas” included the earliest yoga literature written in Sanskrit. The term "Yoga" has a wide range of meanings. The term “Yug” comes from the verb “yug”, which means "to hook up," and refers to the process of attaching horse bridles to a wagon. However, Yoga also implies actively utilizing, yoking, or uniting. Yoga is now widely accepted as a means of joining or a discipline. Yoga practitioners are called “Yogi” or “Yogin”, while women are referred to as “Yogini”.
