One of the primary causes of problem skin, excess fat, quickened aging, and poor muscle quality is toxemia—an accumulation of toxic substances in the tissue and the intestines. Toxemia may have been fostered by stress, a poor diet, a lack of exercise, or other factors. In addition to naturally-occurring toxins, it is estimated that more than 400 man-made chemicals as well as heavy metals permeate our body today.
Cost: 21day $280.00 (4 meetings)

Good Morning!

This article was shared with me by a close friend. For those of you who are interested, here are a few more benefits from practicing yoga This article was written by Brooklyn-based writer Kate Hanley, she is a yoga teacher and the founder of msmindbody.com.

You already know yoga can give you greater flexibility, better muscle tone, a surefire way to release stress, and maybe even enlightenment. But better sex? Really? You betcha. Yoga offers myriad physical and emotional benefits that add up to more fun between the sheets and a more fulfilling, meaningful sexual relationship with your partner.
Whether heating up your sex life is the main goal of your yoga practice or just a happy side effect, chalk this information up as yet another great reason to roll out the mat. Here are the major ways it works:

Sensuality

On a more subtle level, yoga helps you develop an awareness of sensations in your body. Learning to feel the weight rolling into the inside edges of your palms in downward dog, for example, teaches you to savor every sensation in your body — including the really delicious ones that happen during sex. It also helps keep you rooted in your body and out of your head, where your swirling thoughts can keep you from enjoying the experience at hand, whether it’s in class, out with friends or between the sheets.

Confidence

A recent study shows that people who practice yoga gain less weight as they age than people who don’t do yoga at all. And while feeling more fit is an undeniable turn-on, a sustained yoga practice also encourages you to develop a reverence for your body.

Energy

Raise your hand if you’ve ever dozed off during sex, or felt the stirrings of arousal but were so tired you opted for bed instead. According to a recent survey by the National Sleep Foundation, a full third of women say tiredness causes them to cut back on sex. And a 2004 clinical study at Harvard Medical School showed that just eight weeks of a simple at-home yoga practice significantly improved sleep quality for the toughest audience — chronic insomniacs. It’s a simple exercise to connect the dots — practice yoga, sleep better, have more sex.

Intimacy

Yoga’s effects transcend the physical. It helps us become more comfortable in vulnerable positions — whether it’s a full backbend during class or a heart-to-heart conversation in bed at night.

Better Orgasms

On a purely physical level, many yoga poses — such as upavista konasana, or wide-legged straddle pose — increase blood flow to the pelvis. In our sedentary world, the muscles that run through the pelvis are chronically constricted. Another crucial aspect of yoga involves engaging and drawing up the muscles of the pelvic floor (known in Sanskrit as mula bandha, or root lock), which strengthens the muscles that play an integral role in orgasm.

Specific Poses

Here are two of the many yoga poses that can help boost your enjoyment in the boudoir:

Upavista Konasana (Wide Straddle Forward Bend)

How to do it: Sit on the floor with your legs wide. Leg muscles are activated and toes and kneecaps point straight up. Lean your torso forward as far as it goes comfortably. Hold for 5 to 10 deep breaths.

Sexual Benefits: Increases blood flow (and thus sensation) in the pelvis.

Baddha Konasana (Bound Angle Pose, also known as Cobbler’s Pose)

How to do it: Sit with your knees bent and soles of the feet touching. Lightly hold your big toes and lean your torso forward over your legs (back is gently rounded). Hold for 5 to 10 deep breaths.

Sexual benefits: Alleviates urinary and uterine disorders. Strengthens the uterus. Eases irritability, anxiety and fatigue, three reasons we might choose not to have sex.

Good Morning!

How’s your balance?

Stand with one of your feet 12 inches off the ground and see how long you can maintain the position. Here’s what your results mean:You should be able to balance for 24 to 28 seconds if you are between 20 and 49 years of age. If you’re between 50 and 59, 21 seconds is average — 10 seconds if you’re between 60 and 69. And if you’re between 70 and 79, 4 seconds is average. Now, here are three ways to make your balance better.

Feeling Unsteady?

Balance diminishes with age, and poor balance can set the stage for a nasty fall — a major cause of injury and disability in older adults. But you can change all that with 10 to 15 minutes of balance exercises three times a week. Here are some simple ones to try from Scott McCredie, author of the book Balance: In Search of the Lost Sense.

Squat sit:

With a chair behind you, squat as if you were about to sit. Just before your bottom makes contact with the chair, stand back up. Work your way up to ten reps.

Heel-to-toe walk:

Stand up straight and hold your arms out to the side. Now, place one foot directly in front of the other, with the heel of your front foot touching the toes of your back foot. Practice walking forward and backward in an imaginary straight line.

One-leg stand:

Balance on one leg while doing everyday tasks, such as brushing your teeth, watching TV, or standing in line.

Caution! If you aren’t so steady on your feet, hold on to a table, chair, or counter for extra support, and make sure someone’s on hand to catch you if you start to lose your balance.

Let me know how well you did! I have noticed that practicing yoga has also really helped my balance.
