Living Healthily and Consistently

May 2nd, 2011 greenleads

What you eat reflects who you are. Engaging into yoga doesn’t mean you are already healthy as a person. At times, you forget that what you eat has a huge impact to your health and body. I have a friend who regularly attends yoga classes in the morning, before she goes to work. People look up to her, Tina, because of her enthusiasm in attending all her classes, as she makes an effort not to miss a single class. The yoga class is incomplete without her. On the other hand, as she lives her normal life outside the four corners of the yoga class, her eating habit reflects differently. You would see her enjoy fried and oily foods, sweet milk chocolates and drink coffee or any drink with caffeine. That kind of lifestyle is not only evident in Tina’s life. Certainly, other gym buffs or yoga addicts struggle to eat healthy, the proper way.

Managing is involved in the area of eating. If you cannot fully manage and prioritize what’s important to eat, your diet will be ruined. In short, going to yoga is practically useless. Let me help you out with your proper and healthy eating lifestyle. Be guided by this FOOD PYRAMID I will show you.

If I were you, I will buy a poster of this food pyramid. Post it in the kitchen or simply get this image and place on your phone. You need a reminder that healthy living is not simply attending yoga classes, it is being consistent from day to day, with what you eat and what you do.

Who said you cannot be fashionable while you’re in your yoga class? As women, we like to look good and feel good as much as possible. We are born to emphasize beauty through ourselves, inside and out. One of the reasons why women are Bikram addicts is because they want to feel good and look good. Also, you want to lose a big amount of weight from yoga in order for you to dress up attractively when you go out with your friends or family. So I’m pretty sure, you, as a woman, would prefer to look fashionable wherever you are, even while you’re performing in your yoga class.

May 5th, 2009 levis25

Retreat Yoga: Better Than Your Yoga Practice

Retreat Yoga offers can be found all over the internet these days, but why should you avail of these? Is taking regular yoga practice not enough? Retreats are better than ordinary practices in a number of ways:

1.    As going on a retreat entails that you free your schedule, you will have much more time for doing yoga.

2.    As yoga retreats are advertised throughout the whole America, there will be a variety of peoples attending these. Thus, it would be a good place to make friends with your fellow yoga enthusiasts.

3.    Classes are smaller during retreats, so yoga instructors will have more time to cater to you and your needs.

4.    Going to a retreat is like taking a vacation in paradise. There is no specific timeline to follow, so you can opt to spend time alone relaxing and reflecting in between yoga sessions.

How to Join a Yoga Retreat: For all you Bikram Addicts Out There

So, for all you Bikram yogis out there, there are many retreats that specialize in Bikram Yoga. All you need to do is search for them on the internet, and sign up. Here are a few things to prepare for and expect when joining a Bikram retreat:

1.    Be sure to arrange your flight schedule and transportation from the airport to the retreat venue because the retreat organizers are usually not in charge of this.

2.    Be sure to bring all your yoga equipment, travel documents, and identification papers, to avoid any inconvenience.

3.    Be ready to stay on a vegetarian diet for the duration of your retreat (most yogis are vegetarians), and to share a room with other participants (unless you want to spend more money).

With all these things in mind, all you Bikram addicts out there should be ready for retreat yoga— a yoga experience in paradise.
