Yoga: How to do the Tree Pose (Vrksasana)

The Tree Pose is one of my favorite yoga poses because it helps me to work on my concentration. To do the tree poise, first stand on both feet. Then slowly bend the right leg and rest it on the left inner thigh. Your arms are raised above your head as you do this pose. Hold this pose for about 10 to 20 seconds before coming out of this pose. Then repeat this pose on the other side of the leg.


Each week, I’ll try to update my yoga and pilates journal on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, same time, same place. If you’d like to read the previous blogs on this topic, just click on the link that says My Yoga and Pilates Journal.
We write to inform you that we have sent you $5000.00dollars.
we called to give you the information through
phone as internet hackers were many but i
cannot reach you yesterday even this
morning. So we decided to email you the
MTCN and sender name so that you can pick
up this $5000.00 on daily bases from a total sum of
$100,000.00usd which you can cash $5000 daily with the same
MTCN and sender's name which will be valid for
20 days until you cash the full $100,000.00usd
as it automatically activates for use for 20 days
after the first reactivation.

The money is available for pick up which was deposited
for transfer to you by one Mr Bernard Harry from
BLACK BERRY MOBILE PROMOTION , the money is available
for pick up by receiver(you) but you cannot pick it
up when you go to western union office due to the fact that it has been
deactivated from our head office in UK for security reason
because it has stayed too long in the air as we have been trying
to reach you on the phone for some days now but it was not reachable,
so it was blocked. therefore you can not cash it out
in any western union office due to its restriction
from our head office in UK,which was a security measure
because the money has been in the air for three days
now and maybe in danger, hence the mtcn has to be
reactivated to enable you cash out the money
in any western union office in your area, the
reactivation of the MTCN will cost you a token of $150,
once this is paid, our head office will release the fund on
hold to enable you cash it.To be sure of this please
log on to www.westernunion.com and click on track to
and enter the sender's infor and MTCN below.

Sender's Fist name: Perry
Sender's Last Name: Poston
MTCN: 0341153617
Question: Who Is Great
Answer: God
Amount: $5000.00USD

Please required to confirm the following details.

Phone No:................
This information will help us better to forward your funds of $100.000usd
to you in good condition.

With due respect please get back to me urgently after
tracking the money online so i can instruct you on how
to send the $150 to us for the reactivation of the MTCN.

Thanks
Best Regards
Mr.James Ferguson.

The Eight Limbs of Yoga

Yoga refers to traditional physical and mental disciplines originating in India. It focuses upon developing a healthy mind and body, and on attaining self-awareness. The various practices and disciplines of yoga are available to everyone, no matter what their culture or other paths they may follow. Yoga practice also involves developing awareness on a universal and personal level through the yamas and niyamas, a series of ethics and disciplines intended to cultivate living in harmony with others and in oneness with our true selves.


Yoga has been practiced for thousands of years and consists of ancient theories, observations and principles regarding the connection of the mind with the body. The ancient Indian sage systemized yoga philosophy into eight paths or limbs: yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhyana, samadhi. These limbs each express a different aspect of yoga and combined make up the path or yoga practice that unites the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels of our being.

Yama - Yama are ethical disciplines that relate to how we can live in a shared world with peace and integrity. Niyama - These disciplines relate to the individual and focus on living a healthy, fulfilled and masterful life. Asana - The word asana means ‘to be’, in the sense of being in a posture. The asanas were developed for the maintenance of a healthy mind and body, with each posture affecting the body, mind and emotions in a unique way and working as a pathway to balance and wellbeing. Pranayama - In the practice of pranayama, we develop breathing techniques that increase oxygen intake and strengthen lung capacity while also increasing the absorption of prana, or life force. In its simplest form, pranayama involves deep, full breathing. Dharana - Following on from pratyahara, dharana is the ability to be completely internally absorbed and focused. This practice of single-pointed concentration stills the mind and leads to profound quietness within. Dhyana - Following on from dharana is dhyana, or meditation – sitting where there is no focus, just stillness; no thoughts, only emptiness. Samadhi - In this state of absolute personal freedom there is union of the individual soul with the universal soul. It is the practice of living at one with all that is.

With regular yoga practice of yoga, you will get strength, flexibility and good health, the benefits of which flow into all aspects of life. Increased energy levels bring a new perspective on life, the increased feelings of self-love and inspiration lead us to discover talents and interests we never knew existed and problems that once seemed overwhelming become more manageable.

They have an amazing range of yoga straps, yoga blocks, sticky yoga mats, thick yoga mats, manduka mats, prenatal yoga dvds, yoga dvds and yoga down loads to guide you through your yoga practice and to providing high quality information regarding the questions you want answered about yoga and yoga supplies.

The Foundation of Dahn Yoga

By Bruce Picker


Dahn Yoga is form of yoga that was founded by Ilchi Lee in the year 1980. At the beginning, Lee taught this kind of yoga in a park Seoul. In the year 1985, he rented a 900 square feet space in Seoul which became the first training center. During the same year he published a book called "Dahnhak: Its Principles and Training Method". It was the first edition of the book.

In the year 1986 Dahn Yoga was spreading fast and many of Lee's advanced students also started spreading the practice. During the following year many big companies including the likes of Daewoo, SK, and Gold Star (now LG) started asking him to teach this yoga to their employees. It was also taught Korean troops and athletes-in-training.

In the year 1991 one of Lee's top students opened a small Dahn Yoga center in the United States. Yoga centers were opened in Japan and Canada in the year 1996. In the year 2001 Lee started his famous Chakra tours in the United States. During the next three years Lee would extend this tour to throughout the world. In the year 2002 center started opening in the United Kingdom.

Dahn foundation was formed in the year 2006. Dahn centers started opening up in Russia. Lee consolidated his various training programs into one in the year 2007. He formed a franchise system for individuals in the US who wanted to both run and own their very own Dahn center. These centers were known as 'Body-and-Brain' Centers. All of this took place in the year 2008. In the year 2009 a firm called BMC (Brain Management Consultant) was developed in order to train instructors who wanted the license to share this technique with others. During that same year Sweden's first 'Body-and-Brain' Center was opened.

Bruce Picker is a freelance writer and researcher. His latest works include his study on Dahn Yoga center.
