How long is your Yoga practice?
I've just started practicing Yoga daily. I've put together a routine using yogajournal and youtube videos. I also attend classes occasionally.
Today I did it for about 30 minutes. Along with breathing techniques and meditation it comes to 45 minutes.
BTW does anybody practice pranayama (breathing exercises) also?

Focusing on the breath is an important part of the beginning of each yoga practice. This is a time when the energy shifts from the doingness of the day to the beingness of putting my body on the floor, leaving thoughts behind, and experiencing god breathing me. After that, the length of time I spend doing hatha poses is of little importance, but often it is around an hour and a half total. For a well balanced practice I would suggest that you vary the poses you do each time and learn which poses counter-balance each other so you can alternate. Another thing is to recognize that we all eventually find poses that we love to hate for a variety of reasons and we tend to avoid those when in reality we are being given a sign that we need to explore them more fully. Finally, the yogi who has taught me hatha suggests that one takes at least one day off a week from hatha - meditation and breath practice are fine on the off-day

usually 30mins-1hr at home and 1hr-1hr 30mins at classes. Mainly doing Hath, Ashtanga and Bikram. And yes I do love pranayama very much too :)

since I find no reason to believe in 'allergies' against 'natural' appropriate stuff, I would think it's more likely just the fact that pineapple if bought in store is pretty much always unripe. Not that it matters to the situation perhaps.

I write poems (mostly in Seussian rhyme), articles on health, and am working on a couple of books on health...
Nicolas have you ever had a pineapple that does not give symptoms. In my experience around these hoods where we are there are practically no ripe pineapples..or perhaps a few dunno
Yes ma'am. Resting as completely as possible with eyes closed; getting enough water; avoiding too much sun; avoiding toxic substances (personal care products, cleaning products, etc.)
I enjoy writing about the deepest darkest secrets of my heart, about things I dont want to share with anyone..or lack the guts to share. Love letters mostly, but not always. If I have a dream I want to remember Ill write it down.
I'm assuming "fasting properly" means RESTING while fasting?
Come on woman! No time like the present! We may now have one more spot for our March 20 to May 22 internship session; this is truly a life-changing program and an amazing bargain...
Thanks Priyam! You are very kind and generous with your appreciation, and I appreciate the specificity. I agree with you completely that fasting is generally very poorly understood, mostly feared, and almost always avoided.
Though someone once su...
GASP! I would never accuse you of such. Take that back right now.
Hey Michele! We fast 8-10 people per year for 6 weeks and most of them have amazing experiences. Incidentally, though some people imagine there's a need to "work up" to a long fast like this, many are fasting this long for the first time; in fact,...
