Yoga tips

gypsy gal — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 10:02:59 +0300

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.
To practice Yoga you must choose a place which is calm, quiet, ventilated, dust free, moisture free and distraction free.
Before you start Yoga, you must clear your bowels and bladder; clean your nostrils and throat of all mucus. You must also drink a glass of lukewarm water.
Wait for a few minutes and then you can start.
Like all other work outs you must begin with easy poses, thereafter you can advance to the tough ones. Be methodical and systematic.
Remember, to start with your movements should be light and if you feel fatigue in between you must discontinue.
Yoga must energize and not cause weariness and depression.
You must take breaks in between if a particular step or exercise proves tiring.
If you practice Yoga, your diet should be a balanced and you should eat after an interval of 4 hours.
The quantity of food should be such that it satisfies your appetite.
Over eating and fasting should be avoided. At the same time you must try to avoid stale food.
Yoga clothing should be loose and as comfortable as possible. Form-fitting cotton/Lycra pants and shirts are the best.
While performing Yoga your breathing should be long and deep. You must remember to keep your mouth close and inhale and exhale only through the nose.

personal training and nutrition

peggyg — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 17:21:12 +0300

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!

Mind, Body & Soul

jassimabdulazeez — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 11:17:09 +0300

Being healthy and fit is more than doing exercise and eating plenty of fruit and vegetables - it's a complete way of life . Your mind, body and soul all have to work together in healthy harmony.

What use is a 6 minute mile or a six pack if you're about to kill the boss, or you sit at home depressed with a chocolate bar for company. So having it all is a dream?

With a few simple steps, we can all be healthier and happier and laugh a little more.

Life is all about living - being happy with yourself and others around you. Its to easy to become negative with your thoughts when your around the wrong people, or within the wrong environment.

Remember to make a change in your life - you will often need to make changes in your life.

What you do will decide who you are!

Use your time wisely to help dedicate time to where you want to go - if you don't have a plan or a dream then your likely never accomplish your total fulfillment.

A dream will always be a dream until its written down - then it becomes a goal - try and achieve all your goals in life.

Unlike pushing the weights or pounding the streets - training the mind and soul is about training your inner self - your thoughts - your well-being.

Classes such as Yoga, Meditation are excellent for assisting with your breathing and relaxation enabling yourself to be focused on yourself.

Fitness Exercises

jassimabdulazeez — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 10:02:12 +0300

For best results, combine aerobic exercises such as walking / running with body toning exercises to develop both good muscle tone and also a healthy heart and lungs.

Always build time for a warm up and stretch into your workouts, giving your body time to recover and rebuild after your sessions to avoid excessive muscle soreness and enable the benefits of exercise to be fully utilized.

One reason that so many people unfortunately give up with their exercise routine is due to sore muscles and no results. The fact that your muscles are sore, will tell you that they have been worked beyond their normal daily routine.

Your muscles are generally sore due to the body rebuilding them, to make them stronger to cope with the new exertions your placing upon them via exercise.

The results will certainly come, however avoid over training, especially in the early stages, train wisely by not training sore muscles - let your muscles that are sore rest and recovery and work on either your cardio (heart and lungs) or other muscles groups.

yoga is great to help with stress

grassrootsyoga — Sat, 04 Aug 2007 06:04:47 +0300

Hi all, I am a new yoga teacher in town and can most certainly advocate the effects yoga has on the body for reducing stress. Yoga is a gentle restorative exercise that at times can be challenging (depending on which style you choose) but ultimately in any style works on the parasympathetic nervous system which allows your body to relax and work through the pressures of a busy life.
I am looking at offering private classes if anyone has space in their homes that they would like to try Moksha Yoga? You can visit my website www.grassrootsyoga.c... for more information. Regards, Shannon

How to prevent Loss of life in Heart Attack

STROKE: Remember The 1st Three Steps

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a party, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm , Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the party. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some ?don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.
It only takes a minute to read this...

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke... totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STR OKE
Thank God for the sense to remember the "3" steps, STR. Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S*Ask the individual to SMILE .
T *Ask the person to TALK , to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently: It is sunny out today.)
R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

{NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue... if the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke}

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency services immediately and describe the symptoms. This is URGENT
