Benefits of Yoga, Your Stories | Diseases, Depression, Stress, Weight Loss & More Benefited

The Benefits of Yoga are being widely touted now and I am sure you have come across many sources indicating such benefits, including your truly of course .  But I feel that the most powerful evidence regarding the benefits of yoga, are the real life testimonials that come from all of you.  So from time to time, I like to share these real life yoga success stories with you, to help inspire and encourage you to incorporate yoga and meditation into your life, and thus also enjoy the profound benefits these sciences bestow.

Yogic Sleep

With the new year came a new sleeping pattern for me. It has definitely taken some adjusting, but I am apparently now sleeping 3-5 hours more every night than before. It's really strange to me, but I don't see any reason not to just "go with it." Anyway, when I sat down to choose a topic for today, Yoga Nidra seemed like a natural extension of my new sleep patterns.

Yoga Nidra, or Yogic Sleep is the ultimate in relaxation. If you've ever done Savasana (corpse pose) and felt amazing afterwards, or like savasana could totally be longer... Yoga Nidra may be for you. Imagine Savasana on crack if you will...and taking that little yoga buzz and intensifying it. Yoga Nidra is completely amazing.

During my teacher training was the first time I'd ever heard of Yoga Nidra, and I was almost hesitant to try it because first timers will almost always fall asleep. If you snore or talk in your sleep, like I do, then the idea of falling asleep in a room full of people that you're "kinda" friends with - could [...]

4 articles about Meditation and Yoga that you can't do without reading!

After yesterday's post I got some questions about how someone should time their meditation. I find this is a really big question for many people.

I'll [...]

Yoga in Brighton is BIG...it's big in the UK and the rest of the Western World for that matter. I'd guesstimate yoga accounts for 90% of the "alternative" [...]

Now that this is out of the way, I am left with the challenge of how to capture something as unsubstantial (though not insubstantial) as meditation. Neither [...]

Meditation - Intent, Intuition and the Stillpoint In Between

Looking back, I realized I haven’t written a straight post about meditation for some time, so here goes. This is kind of a companion to my Types of Meditation post. In that post, I briefly described different forms of meditation from the perspective of their benefits. In this one, I will instead talk about forms of meditation from the perspective of which aspect of mind they emphasize. I think it is useful to look at this distinction, particularly for people that have been meditating for awhile, because I believe in the value of mixing things up a bit - experimenting with different techniques to prevent your mind from becoming attached to one approach.

The two main aspects of mind are active and passive (what else?) When we are directing our mind in a concentrated fashion - reading a book, or trying to sort out a problem - we are consciously engaging in the active aspect of mind. When we are sitting back and observing (our mind or something external) or absorbing (listening to music and [...]
