Yoga Can Harness the Power of Attraction

...Many people spend their lives trying to be attractive to others. This is primal behavior that you can observe in nature. It is frustrating for many because the power of attraction can be seen as self-worth, and if we do not feel worthy, we feel inferior to others.

The practice of Yoga allows you to be in harmony with the universe and tap into the power of attraction. Humans attract others by a number of methods, and all are enhanced with the practice of Yoga. Very often, you will attract like-minded people, so observe yourself carefully. This may require honest self-reflection, but it is worth the exercise.

Your walk, talk, and frame of mind, do attract a specific type of person, but not everyone will be attracted by you. This cannot be helped. When we observe history, we can see enlightened souls who had enemies. We can also see cruel dictators, w...more

Now that you see this clearly, please be sure to make your students aware of it. There is nothi...more

Sweatin' with the Yogis

... Bikram yoga class recommended by a friend.

Having no idea it was going to take place in a hot room, Benjaporn was surprised to find herself sweating profusely. As she said, it's difficult for Asians to sweat, herself in particular, so this one time adventure was highly rewarding. So much so that she decided to enroll in Bikram's training course and has now been practicing yoga for 25 years. This interest has brought her hometown, Bangkok, the first certified Bikram yoga facility, Absolute Yoga.

For Benjaporn, yoga is a serious workout without the dangers that tend to limit the range of other fitness programs. With running one usually tends to turn on a music channel and say, just give me five songs then I'm done." Many people like yoga for the same reasons as Benjaporn: a 90 minute yoga workout entails a lot of stretching and focus you can't look around or let your mind wander, you just do it and you're done. 90 minutes have never gone by faster for me, nor have they been, when it comes to exercise, as mentally and physically rewarding.

So, what do they mean by asanas or poses?

Awkward Pose: What a suitable name. A seated, or better yet, squatting pose with knees bent and buttocks near the heels. To add difficulty, all this is done on the balls of your feet with arms held straight out in front. By the second repetition my thighs and upper arm muscles felt hotter than the room.
