#39;Media Watchdog #39; Pervs Out On Yoga Instructors Facebook
I #39;m not sure what there is left to say about Howard Kurtz, who has long let go of whatever tenuous hold he once had on doing anything particularly noteworthy...

'Media Watchdog' Pervs Out On Yoga Instructors Facebook - Video

From the rooftop where Im contorting my way through a power yoga class, I can watch a construction crane swinging over downtown and office workers filing in and out of a high-rise.

A bustling urban environment might go against the peaceful, quiet setting Ive come to associate with yoga, but I kind of like this.

About 75 other students at Wanderlust Yoga must agree. Theyve rolled out their mats on the wood-planked deck, too, some of them in the sunshine, others under an expansive shade-granting awning. A breeze is blowing, and from our vantage point a few floors above street level, the city noise seems remote, like background music.

Jo Kutchey and Ashley Spence Clauer opened Wanderlust Yoga studio in April 2012 as kind of an Austin-based version of the traveling Wanderlust Festival, which combines yoga, live music, speakers and, yes, even a little booze.

Were not just a yoga studio where you come in and go to a class, Kutchey says.

In perfect Austin style, Wanderlusts classes incorporate music in some way, be it hand-picked play lists of recorded music, DJ-spun tunes or live musicians. The occasional Saturday night yoga jam draws up to 100 people who twist and bend to a backdrop of electric house music.

Besides the usual array of vinyasa flow and beginner sessions, Wanderlust offers candlelight classes, classes that incorporate hand weights and something called bittersweet yoga, described as a kick-butt restorative class that supposedly leaves you feeling like youve had a massage and a workout at the same time.

Up on the rooftop, I strike a warrior pose, glance out at a garbage truck rumbling past and surreptitiously check out my fellow classmates.

Theyre mostly young and fit, and Im pretty sure many are downtown workers on their noontime lunch break.

Ive popped by on a cool day. Im not sure how long Id last on a withering hot one, but some people pay good money for heated yoga classes, and rooftop yoga could be Mother Natures version of that.

Cancer survivors who suffer from insomnia could improve the quality of their sleep if they started regularly practicing yoga, according to new research appearing in a recent edition of the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

The study authors reported participants, who were primarily women with a history of breast cancer, reported significant improvements in the quality and duration of their slumber when they attended twice-weekly yoga classes, Reuters Health reporter Veronica Hackethal, MD explained on Friday.

Furthermore, men and women who attended the 75-minute sessions also reduced their use of sleep aids by 21 percent, while patients in standard care actually increased their reliance on those medications by five percent a week, added PsychCentral Associate News Editor Traci Pedersen.

Both groups showed noticeable improvements in sleep quality; however, the yoga group showed significant improvements in sleep latency (amount of time it takes to fall asleep), sleep duration, sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, subjective sleep quality and daytime dysfunction during the intervention period, Pedersen added.

According to the researchers, between 30 percent and 90 percent of all cancer survivors report impaired sleep quality following their treatment, and in some cases the issues are severe enough to increase morbidity and mortality. Preliminary evidence had suggested yoga could improve sleep quality amongst those men and women.

In order to further investigate the issue, researchers from the University of Rochester Medical Center, Stanford University, the Wichita Community Clinical Oncology Program in Kansas and the Grand Rapids Community Clinical Oncology Program in Michigan recruited 410 cancer survivors, each of whom had been experiencing at least moderate sleep disruption between two and 24 months following their surgery, chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy to participate in a randomized, controlled clinical trial.

The subjects, who were 96 percent female and had a mean age of 54 years, were randomly assigned to receive either standard care alone, or standard care plus four weeks of yoga intervention using the specially-designed Yoga for Cancer Survivors (YOCAS) program. The YOCAS program combined breathing exercises, mediation, and postures from both Gentle Hatha and Restorative yoga, they explained. Their sleep quality was then assessed using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and actigraphy, the authors said.

Participants in the yoga group showed statistically significant improvements in sleep quality between the pre- and post-intervention period; the control group did not, Pedersen said. Furthermore, 90 percent of the yoga intervention group who completed the study said they found the program helpful for improving sleep quality, and 63 percent said they would highly recommend it to other cancer survivors.
