Pose of the month:
Boat Pose
1/2 Boat (Ardha Navasana)
Full Boat (Paripurna Navasana)
In May, we will be teaching boat pose for flexible and strong hip flexors (psoas) and strong abs and back.
Many students use the hip flexors in this pose without enough engagement of their abdominals, especially transverse abdominus (low abs). We will focus on helping students learn to engage all the muscles needed for this pose. Transverse abdominus balances the action of the hip flexors to protect the low back.
|
COFFEE!!
One of our wonderful students, Olivia Brinton, is opening a brand new coffee roasting shop in Newark on Haines Street!
They are hoping to open in May and will be serving organic and fair trade coffees from around the world. Their core value as a business is to serve coffee that is ethically sourced and sustainably grown. At the shop customers will be able to see the coffeee roasting process first hand as well as taste several different fresh roasted coffees or enjoy a specialty latte. Please support Olivia from our Yoga community to the Newark and fair trade coffee community!

Product of the Month
Herbal Energy Tea
This product is $16 and Erin LOVES it. It truly works. Have it at breakfast with no sugar or dairy (but feel free to have a low sugar breakfast). It will not only give you a dose of antioxidants plus herbs for energy but it also suppresses appetite naturally and gently to help with weight loss. It's amazing! Erin says, "I always lose weight AND I think it's delicious!"

Yoga Injuries?
Yoga for healing!
Read this article to see how practicing Yoga (asanas- postures) can heal not injure.
YogaAnatomy Founder- David Keil responds to the New York Times article called "How Yoga can Wreck your body- Yoga Injuries"
Isn't the real purpose of asana to prepare the body and mind for meditation? We could take this one aspect much deeper. If you start off with the mindset that its purpose is therapeutic then it is ridiculous if someone says that they have injured themselves doing therapy. In this article, they don't even give yoga credit as something therapeutic, but it seems to be underlying the mindset of the teacher if not the author. There is this sense of "how dare yoga injuries even occur!" "How appalling that injury could or should occur when doing something as therapeutic as yoga."
Well... um... it's kind of an intensely physical activity, so the likelihood of physical yoga injuries tends to go up if you're doing intensely physical things, whether it's yoga or not.
If you want to know how to do asana, and yoga in general, as safely as possible, then maybe this list will help......
