Element: Yoga for Stress Relief & Flexibility

  • ELEMENT-YOGA FOR STRESS RELIEF & FLEXIBI (DVD MOVIE)

Stress relief and flexibility programs are natural compliments in yoga. When you release mental pressure, you simultaneously relieve tightness in your muscles and joints. Similarly, when you focus on reducing stiffness in the body, you automatically release tension held in the mind. These two rejuvenating yoga programs, filmed in a tranquil garden overlooking the Pacific Ocean, can help undo the physical and mental effects of tension. The Stress Relief sequence uses the breath, longer holds, and forward bends to encourage the body’s relaxation response. This calming sequence will dissolve anxiety, improve quality of sleep, reveal clarity of thought, and activate the anti-aging benefits that restorative yoga provides. The Flexibility sequence uses simple but effective flowing vinyasas to enhance agility, alleviate pain, cultivate a greater free range of movement, and reduce risk of future injury.

What type of dance should I take up?

Alright, so my friend has convinced me that I should take up dance again. My sister and I took ballet when we were younger, but we dropped out. Anyway, enough history. In general, I’m pretty clumbsy, though my friends have stated that I can be very graceful at times. I’m also into musical theater, so my friend suggests I take jazz. I’m pretty flexible already from doing Taekwondo, but I’d like to continue working on my flexibility.

Any ideas for what I could take up?

Tendon Nei Kung: Building Strength, Power, and Flexibility in the Joints

Tendon Nei Kung: Building Strength, Power, and Flexibility in the Joints

A guide to strengthening and repairing the tendons to reverse the effects of aging

• Shows how strengthening the tendons can lead to more energy, healthier organs, and prevention of arthritis

• Explains how to practice the postures alone or with a partner

• Includes the Mung Beans hitting practice, which repairs damaged tendons and joints; relieves constipation, stomach cramps, and headaches; and aids in detoxification

Healthy tendons are the foundation of true strength in the body. Strong and supple tendons and open joints allow more space to store raw energy, which can then be transformed into higher creative and spiritual energy. The eight postures of Tendon Nei Kung are specifically designed to open the joints and fortify and grow all the tendons in the body, strengthening them as a unit. Like the practice of Iron Shirt Chi Kung, Tendon Nei Kung cultivates the ability to move the earth force up from the ground, through the feet, and into the body, in this case raising it to nourish the tendons.

In Tendon Nei Kung, Mantak Chia explains how to perform the eight postures individually as well as with a partner. He reveals how regular practice of Tendon Nei Kung can help prevent and relieve arthritis by forcing poisoning acid out of the body to make room for healing chi energy. He provides ten supplementary exercises to help heal damaged tendons and joints without strenuous movement and also includes information on the Mung Beans hitting practice, an ancient practice that in addition to repairing damaged tendons and joints also aids in detoxification and relieves constipation, stomach cramps, and headaches.
