Yoga Anyone? Part II
Go Daddy!
I recently met a man that was at least 70 years old, he looked in by better shape than the other
50 people in the room. He explained that he was a yoga instructor and taught seniors in

4. The claim: Yoga doesn’t cause injuries.
The truth is that Downward Dogs and Warrior poses cause more than their fair share of aches Ways to Obtain Money Fast With The Use Of

and pains. Although the data is sparse, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recorded
more than 7,369 yoga-related injuries treated in doctors’ offices, clinics and emergency rooms in
2010. That number probably vastly underestimates the number of aching knees, tender backs Tips in Increasing Motivation
and sore hips that result in the pursuit of relaxation and enlightenment. While most yoga injuries
aren’t usually a big deal, Broad warns about one major exception: “There is a lot of big neck Tips in Achieving Success in Life
flexing that goes on in yoga and this is associated with strokes,” he says. His advice? Avoid
moves such as shoulder stands and the Plow which place excessive pressure on the neck, and
make sure your instructor is experienced enough to adapt the poses to you rather than force
you to fit the poses.

5. The claim: Yoga is good for flexibility and balance.
Absolutely! Broad points out that some of the most obvious benefits of yoga such as improved
flexibility and balance have been supported by solid science for decades. What may not be so
obvious is why these traits are so important, he notes. Poor balance and flexibility contribute to
the risk of falling and fracturing a bone, the leading cause of injury death among seniors
according to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention. Most people don’t concern
themselves with flexibility and balance when they’re young, but both fall under the category of
“use it or lose it.” Yoga is one of the best methods for perfecting and preserving these skills.
6. The claim: Yoga improves mood.
Yoga can uplift mood and emotions in a profound way by increasing levels of the brain chemical
gamma-aminobutyric acid or GABA for short. Low levels of GABA have been associated with
mood disorders such as depression and anxiety. In 2007, an elite team of researchers from
Harvard Medical School’s Mclean Hospital and Boston University Medical School found that hour-
long yoga sessions elevated GABA levels by an impressive 27 percent on average—with one
subject enjoying an 80 percent increase in the mood-related brain chemical. Yoga is a promising
treatment for depression and anxiety, according to Broad.

3. 7. The claim: Yoga is good for your brain.
When thirties screen siren Greta Garbo declared “I vant to be alone,” she may have really been
craving some private time for yoga. She, along with many other creative types, understood the
power of the practice to sharpen the mind. Emerging evidence indicates that yoga lights up the
right hemisphere of the brain—the grey matter most associated with inspired thinking, focus and
a host of other cognitive rewards. It also seems to quiet the mind so bold thoughts can burst
forth. Studies on the subject tend to be small yet intriguing. For example, researchers at the
University of Pennsylvania Medical Center in Philadelphia scanned the brains of four
inexperienced yogis who practiced Iyengar yoga for about an hour a day and discovered
greater activation in the right side of the brain than the left, especially areas associated with
setting and achieving goals.
8. The claim: Yoga improves your sex life.
“Yoga is sexually arousing,” says Broad. “People who do yoga know this, but they don’t talk
about it.” Although the science is still a little fuzzy on why yoga might get your juices flowing,
there’s some evidence that it increases circulation in the pubic area, which houses our sexual
equipment and where many of our erogenous hormones are produced. Also, certain poses and
breathing techniques also seem to prime the body’s most important sensual organ—the brain
—to pump out hormones associated with arousal and orgasm.
Feel free to let me know what you think, I’ve given my opinion, what’s yours?
Everyone has an opinion or like to speak about a particular topic. Well, look how a
former homeless man became RICH doing just that, click here. Can you believe that
saving money is this easy? See what I did and what you should also do, here. Is
there anyone that doesn’t shop? Does anyone like to make money? How about
