So you think you are Anna , right I am talking about all those people who follow him in his journey . A strong man , a great vision , a true warrior , so how many of us are true warriors ,Yes I would like to adress this to all the blog followers who still feel working out a day and then resting for two days helps your body regain everything you lost.
Why not inculcate Yoga in your daily life the way you get up in the morning and brush your teeth

.Yoga gives you a wide range of asanas , that help you develop that inner power, confidence and making you ready to deal with the world , the way you want to.Each asana is shaped in such a way that it brings out the ultimate energy you wish to .
My pick for today is Virabhadrasana
So before you start Virabhadrasana or the Warrior Pose , close your eyes for a second and bring that stretch . Trust me at the end of the asana , you will have that WOW factor in you, Each asana in Yoga helps you to stretch and mould your body, but remember one thing , only if your start doing it , you will feel the satisfaction coming in you every day.
Virabhadrasana is not the pose of an anonymous warrior, it's the pose of Virabhadra, the "auspicious hero" born from a bead of sweat from Lord Shiva's forehead.

Here's what Dr. Robert Svoboda has to say (in his wonderful book The Greatness of Saturn) about Virabhadra:
"No sooner did this drop of sweat fall to Earth than it became a fiery being of unlimited valor who, after blazing his way through the earth and through all the underworlds, burnt the seven seas. This being, Virabhadra ('the Auspicious Hero') looked like a flaming fire, having many heads and many eyes, and tens of thousands of arms and legs. The embodiment of concentrated might, Virabhadra stood before his father with folded hands, saying, 'Command me!'"
The form of Virabhadrasana present the expressions of this powerful hero. Next time you perform one of the Virabhadrasanas, imagine yourself capable of anything that needs to be accomplished -- because you are
Procedure
• Stand with feet together, spine and head held straight and arms by side close to body.
• Separate the legs 4 to 5feet distance.
• Raise arms sideways in line with shoulders, palms facing downwards and parallel to the floor.
• Turn the right foot 90 degrees to the right and left foot slightly inwards to the right. Keep the left leg stretched out and tightened at the knee.
• Hold the pose and take deep breath, relax you whole body in position.
• Now exhale, bend the right knee till the right thigh is parallel to the floor and the right shin perpendicular to the floor. The bend knee should not extend beyond the ankle, but should be in line with the heel.
• Turn the face to the right and gaze at the right palm.

• Hold the pose for 20-30 seconds with deep breathing.
• Release the pose lifting up the body and straightening the knee.
• Repeat the same on left leg.

SO DO YOU HAVE THE WARRIOR IN YOU!!!!!!!

IS IT JUNK OR HEALTHY>>>

Whats the promise you are giving to your body TODAY , I am serious , very serious ,with the alarming rate of increase in crappy food outlets , I get scared , really scared , i wonder whats gonna happen to this lovely body gifted to us , which we treat as some Garbage Can to throw all the junk which these junk food outlet owners want to eat.Its even more horrifying with parents taking the children to these outlets once in every week, STOP , please before it gets too late to repent , Just checked an article thought of posting it to you guys

What’s in Some of that Junk Food?

• One teaspoon of sugar is extracted from a stalk of sugarcane one metre in length!
• A can of cola contains 10 teaspoons of sugar.
• The metal in the can costs more than the ingredients (mainly water with additives, refined sugar and caffeine).
• A super-sized order of McDonald’s fries contains 610 calories and 29 grams of fat.
• A king-sized order of Burger King’s fries packs 590 calories and 30 grams of fat.
• Artificial ingredients can contain an alarming variety of chemicals. For instance, ‘artificial strawberry flavour’ can contain about 50 chemicals… and no strawberries at all!
• A king-sized Burger King meal, (Double Whopper with cheese, large fries and large drink) contains 1,800 calories (mostly derived from fat and refined sugar). To ‘burn’ these calories would take nearly 6 hours of cycling (at 20 miles per hour).

Harmful Effects of Junk Food

• The regular consumption of junk food is the leading factor in obesity and excess weight.
• Obesity is second only to smoking as a cause of death in America.
• 46% of adults are either overweight or obese, with obesity in children increasing three-fold over the past 2 decades.
• Consumption of soft drinks containing sugar has been linked to weight gain and an increased risk for development of type 2 diabetes.
• Studies have revealed that obese people have twice the rate of chronic health problems as people of normal weight. This includes a 100% greater chance of developing Type 2 diabetes, 50% increased likelihood of developing heart disease. Obese men are nearly 90% more likely to get colon cancer.
• Junk food diet is a major cause of heart diseases.
• High cholesterol resulting from junk food puts undue strain on the liver, causing long-term damage to this essential organ.
• Research has suggested that diets high in fat may also impair essential brain functions, like concentration and memory.

        The junk food facts about soft drinks alone are alarming. There is compelling evidence that regular        consumption of soft drinks leads to:

• Increased rates of bone fracture
• Increased risk for osteoporosis
• Increased risk of weight gain and obesity
• Increased risk for Type II Diabetes
• Increased risk for kidney stones
• Increased rate of tooth decay and other dental problems

Junk food facts are numerous, and the negative effect of junk food on health and wellbeing is undeniable.

Stop Existing --start breathing the Pranayam way

The person who wrote the song "Love is in the air" must have known some of the secrets behind the power of breath.
I always feel the power of breath , when i hear this lovely piece.Ever wondered what would the world be without air around
the sun , the cosmic energy . The lovely earth wouldnt have  been the place to live in .

I feel Pranayam is like a therapy .The  practice of pranayam has made it possible for many people  to clear
emotional, mental and spiritual hurdles that has been  stuck with them for many years.

Let's face it, Pranayam and asana is hard work. It's just not normal to engage the breath and energy locks while
simultaneously exerting and relaxing oneself. During practice many people go into a kind of a trance.
This has allowed me to see how it's possible for my students to go off the mat to be having a different experience all
together.

Pranayam is the best detoxification exercise you can have , and yes it doesnot come with a price tag like we see in
easy shopping on TV , but its one effort that you take from your side to know your body , to calm down your body after
all the stress that it undergoes , and last but not the least respecting gods wonderful creation through this exercise.
One more tip : You do it in a group or alone , you start getting addicted to it , trust the Yoga teacher :D

For me, I like a mix of alone and together in my yoga. I like the energy of a room full of people while practising pranayam and feels really estatic to see the post-class vibe of everyone calm, relaxed, and happy.

Alone or Together . Where do you stand ?Breath in and Breath out ... feel the power of your prana
