Yoga - Hot Idea for Reducing Menopausal Symptoms

Apr 11, 2011 09:53PM ● By Elise Mahovlich and Gloria Hidalgo

Menopause – the word strikes fear into women approaching their 50’s. Women have been conditioned to fear, resent, resist and struggle through a naturally powerful event in their lives. The controversy around hormone replacement therapy (HRT), spurred by the landmark 2002 National Institutes of Health-sponsored Women’s Health Initiative study that revealed the link of HRT with increased risk of heart attack, stroke or breast cancer, raised more questions than answers.

Pilates has the Power to Transform your Body, Mind, & Spirit

Apr 11, 2011 04:28PM ● By Dave Bryan

What is Pilates? Developed by German-born Joseph H. Pilates, this exercise method is everything you can imagine. Concisely, it is a part of your everyday living. The body mechanics involved in our day–to-day activities are all movements that the Pilates method embraces and encourages, as well as develops and corrects. Pilates is a versatile method that provides healing for a broad spectrum of conditions, including poor posture, incorrect body alignment, and extremely tight muscles. This method utilizes key principles such as concentration, centering, control, precision, breath and flow. While this may sound simple it is far from easy. That is why a certified instructor closely supervises the series of controlled movements. The instructor adjusts movements and breathing to maximize the benefits of each exercise.

Why does a disc in your back get thinner? Think about a moist thick household sponge. A healthy disc is mostly made of water. It also has circular fibers and fibers that cris-cross, so that you can bend and twist in all different directions, allowing you to vacuum, play tennis, and more. When it is thick, it has lots of moisture. Like the household sponge when it is thinner, it is drying out.

Reiki Goes Mainstream

Apr 10, 2011 11:40PM
