Yoga: The Perfect Solution To ThirdAge Fitness

I have been doing Pilates for some time now and have found it has twofold benefits, those of stretching as well those of resistance training. The slow deliberate movements are similar to yoga and yet you use your body's own weight as resistance to develope strength. I have a Pilates Reformer, but there are mat exercies available as well so you don't need equipment. You actually stand straighter, feel taller (and sometimes you are taller) and breathe differently. All in all, Pilates has been a terrific workout.

Hi, it's called "Yoga For Idiots", it's blue and orange on the cover. (It's from the idiot's guidebook series, you have probably seen these books in the bookstore they have them on almost any topic.) It's a great book, very informative and I would highly recommend it.

Just what is yogaaberotics?

Be careful with Living Art's videos. We ordered one of their DVDs, and the audio was so poor that the instructor was completely unintelligible.

We've found that for base beginners, we like the Yoga Zone tapes the best.

Go to livingarts.com to order yoga tapes and any accesssories you need to do the exercises.

I have recently become very interested in Yoga but am unable to attend a class due to work schedule. I would like to buy a tape to start off at home, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The choices are endless and quite confusing not to mention expensive.

I would like to Learn more about Yogaaberotics.

After a ten year hiatus, I resumed yoga classes in a new town. Waiting for class to begin, an elderly woman strode in with her mat under her arm, and I thought to myself "isn't it wonderful she's still at it, and look at how it's benefitted her!" It turned out she was the instructor, and although 30 years my senior she gracefully and matter-of-factly performs feats I couldn't do even in my 20's and 30's! I want to be like *her* when I grow up! I cannot say enough good things about yoga--not only does it perceptibly change one's body very rapidly, it cures nagging physical ailments (such as allergies, for me) and does miracles for one's serenity and mental clarity.

Dear Eileen:

Your message caught my eye. I work with a woman
who "suffers" greatly from fibromyalgia. Do you
have any sources you might be able to share with
me with reference to treatment of fibromyalgia.
It is very frustrating to watch her suffer day
after day with no real treatment other than her
doctor prescribing anti-depressants. There must
be other ways of treating fibromyalgia. I would
appreciate your sharing your experiences on this
subject.

I wish you well with your journey.
Thank you, Ste

Ihave fibromyalgia and thought i would help myself by trying yoga so i bought a beginners tape after ihad done the tape i felt great but two days later my musles went into micro trama and it took me a week to recover, Iwas very dissapointed, even though i was careful doing these. What is your advice. THANKYOU.

Yoga learning is only done through a trained Guru. For more info, U may contact I am from India and practising Yoga Meditation Pranayam since early '96. Madhukar

Hi. I strongly urge that people who want to practice yoga find a good instructor. That shouldn't be too hard unless you live in a very small town.

A good instructor teaches you how to BREATHE in the correct way. Also a good instructor constantly readjusts you in the postures, either by talking to you or by gently touching you. On your own, you could injure yourself by crowding your neck, attempting too advanced postures before you are ready, etc.

To get started with my e-Zine Yogaerobics,
all you have to do is send me an e-mail asking to
subscribe to my e-zine. I will then send you
the E-Zine Yogaerobics free every friday.

I read on one the medical news services I receive that the one side effect of St. Johns Wort is that it make your skin more receptive to light. Probably not good to use it in the hot-sunny summer months!

I to am interested in learning about Yogaerobics. Please let me know how to get started.

Meditation. The role it plays in todays Modern society.

Like many people in our world today, I sometimes seem overwhelmed
with the things that I have to do in a day. Work, eat, sleep, play, exercise,
read, watch TV, love, be loved, answer questions, listen to music,
learn something new, and the list goes on and on. How can we fit everything
into our crowded schedules? How can we accomplish anything? The answer
to this question is learning to let go and go with the flow. But I can't let go
of some of the things that are listed here you say. Then learn to Meditate
and your path will be easier. But I don't know how to Meditate you say.
I will teach you how.

First you must find some time and a place where you can be alone in silence.
That means no T.V. or radio and no distractions. Next you must find a
comfortable chair to sit in. Once these two items are found, you can begin.

Start by closing your eyes and noticing how tense your body really is. Start
to let go of these tensions one by one by relaxing that part of your body.
Focus your concentration on that part of the body that has the most tension
and let go of that tension first. Take deep breaths and then let those breaths
out slowly until the tension is gone. Once you have done this for your entire
body, then concentrate on your breathing. Notice how calm it has become.

After this initial session, you will find that you have a renewed sense of energy
and you will feel that you can accomplish anything. In fact, you will be able
to get more done. This way you can squeeze more life out of life in our
Modern society.

If you like to hear more on this topic and how to squeeze more Life out of Life
send an e-mail to me requesting that you join my e-zine called Yogaerobics.
You will learn more about Meditation, Yoga, Aerobics, Weight Training and
general all around Mind and Body Fitness.

Is Yoga safe for a senior citizen ?

hi boy at times i feel like i have fatuge syn.I have been kind of lazy all my life along with some depression right now im takeing 40 mgs. of prozack and i must say it is certinly a very mild drug not like i had expected but i think that ST.Johns wart is stonger there was alot of hoopla about p-zack but i cant beleave how weak it. I am about to stop takeing it and just take St.J.W. I dont know if there are any side effects to p-zak but it dont work for me. I guess i should stop reavaluate every thing and start with my diet i juist have to do something it really is painful to have so much to do and not do any of it

Just came across this posting about yoga. I inadvertantly ordered a set of tapes (12 Wk Shape up) from Time Warner years ago and one of the tapes is labeled Stretch and Strenthen w/Elle McFerson. This tape is actually a beginner yoga tape and a tape that one can build on. I know the tape so well that now I put it on to guide me through my positions (I also hold them much longer now), and now my movements are very fluid a dance like. If you bug Time Warner you can probably have them dig it up and rerelease it. I've turned friends on to it and they also found it a great way to begin.
