Balancing your personal practise and teaching several classes a week can be a challenging task.  I definitely feel that a shorter more consistent practise is more beneficial in the end then a longer one only once a week.  Also keep in mind that you can incorporate yoga, even yoga asana, into different aspects of your daily routine.  For example when you are out walking simple arm stretches or even lunges can be done, or choosing to sit… More..

There is great value in these supportive postures for reducing swelling, edema, muscle strain or pain… More..
