Mudras and bandhas are very powerful and should be attempted after a year of practicing asanas and pranayama. Asanas are the yogic postures and pranayama refers to the proper breathing technique. The delicate tissues of the lungs can be damaged due to undue strain of these are practiced in advance. When you are used to the internal and external retention of breath for extended periods only then should these practices(mudra and bandhas) be taken up. The correct sequence asanas, pranayama, mudra and bandha must also be followed. Asanas clear the energy pathways, pranayama generates energy, while mudras channelize it and the bandhas lock it in. The affect of stress on ageing is well known. So practice yoga nidra and keep stress at bay.

Random Tip- Yoga Exercises- Headache Cures - Yoga is probably the most ancient science that deals with every kind of mental, physical and physiological ailment while keeping one fit and supple.

The best thing to do when encountering a headache due to excessive heat is practicing the two pranayamas- Shitali and Sheetkari.

Shitali- Roll the tongue into a tube (as best as you can) and stick the tip out of the mouth. Inhale through the tongue and hold the breath in for 4-5 seconds with the shin pressed against the chest. Exhale using Ujjayi Pranayama through the nose. Repeat 5-10 times.

Sheetkari: Curl the tongue touching the roof of the mouth as far back as you can to the soft pallet. As you inhale clench the teeth together and slightly part the lips making a hissing “ssss” sound. Exhale through both nostrils. Repeat 5-10 times.

Have you ever felt that the title statement sums up how you feel sometimes? So many people feel this way about so many different things but one major aspect is exercise. Sometimes it just seems too much of an effort or not a priority in this fast paced, stressful modern lifestyle.

We all have dreams, maybe a dream to be rich or have a great family and most would love to have the physical tenacity to put that extra edge on life. For most of us our dreams become so shrouded in the frustrations and routines of daily life that they get put on hold and become a “should do this” kind of thing. You find yourself making statements such as “I should start an exercise program when I get the energy and if it all comes together someday”, but in our minds we know that this isn’t true, we know that we will never get around to it because we aren’t doing anything about it, but we continue to hope. WHY?

So how do we fight against this apathy and lack of motivation to improve ourselves with such things as exercise? We need to find an option that doesn’t interfere with our lives too much. We need something that includes contingency plans and ways of sticking to it without being too straining. But how do we do that and still get the same results as someone who exercises at super high intensity or for hours a day. The answer is quite a simple solution, it lies in consistency and coninuous improvement.

Think about this situation: you start a regular exercise program and go out all gung ho and get really excited and then you have a long hard day at work, you get home and just the thought of that super high intensity workout you have been doing makes you dread the thought of doing. So what happens? You end up skipping the workout and before too long it just becomes too much of a burden to stick to. Sound familiar? Well what about the statement, “something is better than nothing?” What if you make a plan with yourself to have a backup workout? When you can’t do that all out, greulling program you can at least do something, even if it’s only 10 minutes. How would your results change if you had back up plans such as this? If every day you made a deal with yourself to do something regardless of your circumstances, what your life be like in 6 months, a year, 10 years? You see it’s all about consistency.

So what if you are just too “nackered” every day to do your regular, hard arse workout for 90 minutes? Then you need an option that better suits your lifestyle. It really doesn’t matter what level you’re at when you start or how far you have to go. If you apply the progressive overload principle and ensure tiny increments of improvement on a regular basis there is a guarantee that eventually you will reach whatever level of phyisical fitness you want, as long as your consistent. The only thing that can get in the way of this objective is reversibility. This means that if you have a break from exercise for more than a few days at a time, your efforts are reversed, it’s a physiological inevitibility. This is what happens to all those people that go out too hard in the beginning and always have a new years resolution to “get fit”.

The long and short of it is this; start moderate and ensure you strive for very small but regular intervals of improvement and do this consistently, make it part of your long term lifestyle and in the long run you will find that even exercise that most will find elite and super hard, will be moderate to you. That is thanks to the continuous small improvements you have made over time.

Until next time, live with passion!

Critical importance of Yoga during pregnancy-

Yoga and your baby!

A smooth pregnancy and near-painless delivery just about begin to describe the benefits of yoga. Having a healthy baby is every woman’s primary concern, and yoga begins working its magic when baby is only a foetus. Obviously, the benefits only multiply as the months advance. An expecting mother who practices yoga has already started making constructive contributions to her baby’s physical and mental development. The philosophy of yoga enables you to accept all the discomforts associated with pregnancy and deliver gracefully and without any fuss. During pregnancy, you can do all exercises except ones that require you to lie on your stomach. But it’s best to tread safe. Don’t ever start yoga ( or any other exercise regimen), unless you get a green signal from your obgyn. Also, never do yoga sans supervision.

Five steps to Fitness

Yoga advocates a five step approach to pregnancy. When you practice all five together, your mind and body start working in sync and you soon learn to enjoy your pregnancy, unfettered by worries and health problems.

Breathing exercises or Pranayam

Yoga has some powerful breathing techniques, which will ensure that your baby receives an abundant supply of oxygen and a better life force. Breathing exercises also increases your fitness levels and prepare your body for childbirth. Pranayam increases the amount of oxygen that enters your body and hence your baby’s. Deep breathing enables a woman to cope with the process of delivery, even breast feed her baby correctly, and overall, be a fit and happy mom. It also helps to cope with labour pain. Contractions deprive the baby of oxygen temporarily, but by simply breathing right during delivery, a woman can saturate the uterus with oxygen, which will immensely benefit the baby.”

Exercises

Yoga exercises gently strengthen your reproductive organs, and pelvis which helps in preparing for a relatively easy childbirth. “Yoga exercises will definitely help an expectant mother to have smooth labour, provided everything else is okay. If you have a normal delivery, you can restart yoga after two weeks, but if you have a C-section, you can resume practicing it only after six weeks. Practicising yoga post partum helps prevent post pregnancy backaches and tones the pelvic muscles.

Mudras and bandhas

These are gestures and locks that stimulate the body and the psyche. They are said to positively affect your reproductive organs.

Meditation

Who doesn’t want peace of mind? Mediation enables you to stay calm and get in touch with your deep, inner self. It has a therapeutic effect and helps you eliminate phobias, doubts and discordant thoughts, which tend to proliferate during pregnancy. Meditation increases your awareness, which helps you forge a lasting bond with your baby.

Deep Relaxation

Yogic sleep relaxes your body and mind, and prepares you totally for childbirth.
