I have never done yoga before. I’ve done stretches, wushu, played sports, but I’ve never stepped foot inside a yoga studio, until 6 days ago. First impression: “Not bad.” Second impression: "Great.” Allow me to explain.
I was about a minute late because of traffic, and it was at night, so I had a little trouble spotting the studio. Once I got there, I had to fill out a slip of paper because it was...
How was your Thanksgiving? I had a great time with my close friends, but I ate too much food in a series of 3 nights!? My body felt heavy and needed some exercise.
Shame on me. It’s been a long time since going to a yoga class. Yeah, in my last blog I mentioned that I had practiced yoga by following yoga DVDs at home but not in a class...
When I found out that my mother would be in town for the Thanksgiving weekend, I jumped on the opportunity to take my mother to her first yoga class before her road trip to Vegas.
She's watched yoga sessions on television, but actually taking a class in person is a whole new experience. So, I advised her on what to wear and prepped her to...
Yes, I am. There is a lot of negative energy circling the world because of the economic crisis in America. Even though I try not to be around people who complain about the economy, it’s hard to ignore them and avoid being more stressed since this crisis has been affecting everything such as jobs, finances, food, entertainment, and exercises.
From parties, to shopping, and traffic, Thanksgiving and Christmas mark a period of increased social activity in America. As the holiday season quickly approaches, this year promises to be much different than in recent history. The worst economic crisis since the Great Depression threatens to add to the stress that many people already feel during the holidays. Dealing with this stress will be crucial to your ability to enjoy whatever upcoming festivities you have...
When I first started doing yoga, I noticed that breathing is an integral part of the yoga process. Also, the proper technique of exhaling and inhaling is vital in order for you to withstand various stretches and poses for a lengthy period of time.
I distinctly remember a piece of advice from the movie, “The Karate Kid,” where Mr. Miyage would often preach “Breathing. Very Important!”
Recently, I read an interesting and informative article about arthritis. According to the article, 46 million Americans are affected by arthritis, and the number is expected to reach 67 million by the year 2030.

Ever since I started doing yoga, I’ve noticed that a good yoga mat makes all the difference in ensuring a good workout.
Safety has always been my number one priority because I’m always hearing stories about people who have yoga mats that slip underneath them. (more…)
For those of you who have been following my blogs, you know that during my recent visit to Japan, I decided to find a yoga studio so that I could continue to practice my yoga.
This particular yoga studio that I went to has two practice rooms on the 3rd and 5th floor of a building in downtown Sapporo. It’s actually located in the center of downtown, so...
In Part 1, I wrote about how my girlfriend and I decided to try yoga in her hometown of Sapporo, Japan. I’m now going to continue by telling you how my first class went.
As the class gathered together in the studio, I started to get excited about trying my FIRST ever yoga workout in Japan. I was interested in finding out how similar or different the yoga... |
