You thought Yoga Was Just Stretching right?

While in transit to recognize a companion of mine at the nearby YMCA, he inquired as to why I didn't simply join the rec center and I disclosed to him that I practice Yoga and periodic workout at home for my activities and truly didn't feel the requirement for a rec center participation. His reaction was unsurprising: "Yoga… isn't that simply extending?" I grinned at the nature of the inquiry and continued to disclose to him the subject of this article. As I let him know and for the individuals who may not know generally: No, Yoga is much something other than extending or getting into probably clumsy looking postures and positions. It is a blend of extending, breathing activities, reflection and maybe the most neglected appendage, adherence to an appropriate eating routine. The word yoga, from the Sanskrit word yuj intends to burden or tie and is regularly deciphered as an "association" or a strategy for discipline. Its definitive objective is the ...

If you’ve heard of goat yoga, it’s time to level up and try horseback yoga

Yoga’s cool and all, but imagine doing it on top of a horse. If you’re thinking, ‘Huh?’ rest assured that horseback yoga is indeed a thing (as it goat yoga and puppy yoga, ICYMI). Think of it as a mix between the two wellness modalities of yoga and equine therapy (aka hanging with horses), joined together to create a truly otherworldly mind-body experience. And Ella Dove, our director of creative development, is trying it out in Well+Good’s latest episode of What the Wellness, a series in which we investigate all of the most out-there wellness treatments. During a visit with Shakti Ranch in Malibu, California, Dove gets bendy right on top of Sophie, a (very cute) horse. “Horses have this really beautiful way of energetically showing the inner psyche of someone,” says Natalie Riggs, equine therapist at the ranch. So, sure—horses are grounding creatures, but Dove has to actually practice yoga on the horse’s back… which requires a lot of balance (ahem: this one goes out to anyone w...

An All-Around Yoga Exercise: 12-Step Salute to the Sun

One of the all-around yoga exercises is the 12-step salute to the sun. Do it once or twice when you get up in the morning to help relieve stiffness and invigorate the body. Multiple repetitions at night will help you to relax; insomniacs often find that six to 12 rounds help them fall asleep. 1. Stand with your feet slightly apart, palms together, thumbs against your chest. 2. Inhale deeply while slowly raising your hands over your head, and bend back as far as possible, while tightening your buttocks. Hold for three seconds. 3. Slowly exhale and bend forward, keeping your knees straight, until your fingers touch the floor outside your feet. (If you can't touch the floor, go as close as you can.) Bring your head in toward your knees. 4. Slowly inhale, bend your knees, and if your fingertips aren't outside your feet on the floor, place them there. Slide your right foot back as far as you can go, with the right knee an inch or so off the floor, (a lunge position). Now loo...
