Exercise - Yoga, Meditation & Reiki ▐▐



-----------------------------------------------------------------------
_______________________________________________________

Whenever we encounter a stressful event, our bodies undergo a series of hormonal and biochemical changes that put as in ‘alarm mode.’ Our heart rate increases, adrenaline rushes through our blood stream, and our digestive and immune systems temporarily shut down. If the stressors continue and we stay on high alert for a prolonged period of time, we experience exhaustion and burn out.

None of us can avoid stress, but we can return to a state of balance and regulation through a variety of means, including deep breathing, meditation, yoga, and exercise...These activities provide calming and relaxing sensory input for stress relief and can be selected according to lifestyle and preference.When you meditate you bring together all of the mind’s energies and focus them on a word, a sound, a symbol, a comforting image, or your own breathing.

The optimal setting for meditation is a quiet, clean place. People typically meditate sitting on the floor or in a chair with their eyes closed.A variation of traditional meditation involves guided imagery or visualization. If you use this method, you’ll imagine a scene in which you feel at peace, able to let go of all concerns and tensions. In guided imagery, audio instructions help you visualize the scene, focus your thoughts and relax.You don’t have to be seated or still to meditate.

In walking meditation, mindfulness involves being focused on the physicality of each step — the sensation of your feet touching the ground, the rhythm of your breath while moving, feeling the wind against your face....

Winter Exercise Tips

By jaz-09 on Wed, 24/12/2008 - 12:25pm

Just because it is cold outside doesn't make it open season for an excuse not to exercise. There are multiple exercise options one can choose to participate in regardless of what the outdoor thermometer reads. Depending on your location and likes, you can choose to workout inside or outside.

All that is required for Winter-time workouts is some planning and employing all safety precautions. If you prefer to workout outside, keep the following tips in mind.


>> Get warm first: A proper warm-up is critical. Cold temperatures can make your muscles tight and therefore they are more prone to injuries. So, it's important to get them warmed-up prior to engaging in intense physical activity.

Walking - A Good Exercise...!!

By jaz-09 on Wed, 05/11/2008 - 1:26pm

Walking is a safe, easy and inexpensive form of workout that has several positive outcomes on health.

Innumerable studies conducted all over the world have confirmed that walking for thirty minutes at least five times a week brings with it loads of benefits. It helps to decrease the likelihood of developing metabolic syndrome, a combination of disorders that increase the risk of heart disease and diabetes.

Are there any gyms or health clubs near the Al-Sadd or Bin Omran Area? The one near Ramada (Al Massa Active) is ridiculously expensive.

Yoga tips

By gypsy gal on Wed, 12/03/2008 - 10:02am
  • The most appropriate time for practicing Yoga is in the morning. It is the time when the mind is calm, composed and fresh and the body movements can be performed with considerable ease and vigor.
  • To get started you need to have the urge and confidence in yourself.

personal training and nutrition

By peggyg on Mon, 19/11/2007 - 5:21pm

I heard of this place back home where you pay a monthly fee and they offer one-on-one strengh/cardio personal training together with customized nutritional counseling. They seem to be doing quite well (been in business for 20 years). I haven't seen anything like that here in Qatar. Do you think a place like this would do well here? I know I'd like to see it! I have had weight problems in the past but no where here can I find this combination in one place. Let me know what you think!
