Are you feeling a little unbalanced? All yoga postures have a balance point where the body is perfectly aligned. When you achieve that point, the posture feels effortless. Practicing standing balance postures, like the Tree Pose, will help you to become more aware of balance in other yoga poses, in other sports?and even in other areas of your life.

One of the most difficult poses for many people is Savasana, the Corpse Pose. On the surface it appears that in performing the pose one is simply lying on the floor. It looks pretty easy. But in fact, to allow the body to drop away and enter a deep state of relaxation?both physically and mentally?is very challenging. In this podcast, we will practice the corpse pose, and while in the pose we?ll do a guided meditation called the 31-point relaxation.

Asana is a hatha yoga posture; vinyasana is the linking together of those postures to form a flowing motion in synchronization with the breath. I like doing both forms in my practice because each offers unique insights and benefits. Today we will do one asana, the head to knee pose, and we will do it in a meditative way. I?ll also share some techniques to make the head to knee pose more comfortable.

How are your Chakras? Blocked charkas prevent the flow of energy and are thought to cause a variety of problems: from depression and anxiety to loss of creativity. Yoga asanas (postures) open and align the charkas, allowing prana to flow freely. Today we will do some standing postures and a guided meditation with the charkas in mind.
