London, UK (PRWEB UK) 26 December 2013

Yoga instructor Alain Benitez has joined a growing number of teachers offering classes exclusively for men, Rep-Am.com reported December 8th. The article, Men strike a pose in yoga classes just for them, noted that there is often a gender imbalance in yoga classes, partly due to the perception that yoga is for women and partly because womens bodies adapt to the yoga poses more easily. This is why Benitez has set up a class specifically for men, so as to address mens specific yogic needs. Benitez explained, We have specific limitations. Our broader shoulders do not help with balance. Our minds race a little bit faster. We have a hard time getting into a meditative state.

With this in mind, Yourwellness Magazine showed readers how to do yoga at their desks. Yourwellness Magazine commented, A lot of us spend all day sitting at a desk, but did you know this is wreaking havoc on your mental and physical wellbeing. You may be more concerned about corporate wellness, and so dont care that youre sitting and typing away all day. However, no matter how productive all that desk time is, it can cause aches, strain and tension in every muscle in your body, and you may need a hard-earned yoga break. Stopping to strike a pose can help you to relieve that stress, and get your overall wellness back on track to tackle the rest of the long workday.

Yourwellness Magazine detailed three yoga poses that can be done at a desk:

1. Konasana. Also known as the right angle pose, konasana is a simple and effective way to relieve a tight back and legs. It works to open and stretch hamstrings and calves, elongate the spine and torso and strengthen arms. 2. Vidalasana: Otherwise titled the Cat-Cow pose, the vidalasana gently massages the spine, and opens the upper back, chest and shoulder areas. 3. Deep breathing: Deep breathing frees the mind, opens the senses and gives a feeling of self-sufficiency.

There is arising a new spirituality, experienced as a form of evolutionary consciousness. This consciousness is three-fold: Backward, Inward, and Forward.

It reaches backward in time and identifies itself as the whole process of creation, recognizing that within our atoms, molecules, cells, organs, brain is the whole story of creation. At the same time, this evolutionary consciousness looks inward to Source, to Pure Awareness, to Oneness and holds that as its center. And then it looks forward, yearning to express the creative impulse within, in spirit-motivated action on behalf of the evolution of the self and the world.

Evolutionary spirituality opens up the path of the cocreator. It is not a new religion. It is a new person. Its purpose and practices are to incarnate the Great Creating Process, to discover deeper life purpose, and to express that purpose through joining with others in the cocreation of a new world.

New Thought and Conscious Evolution

Conscious Evolution/New Thought (CE/NT) is a new initiative started by Barbara and Reverend Jim Lockard to create a synthesis between the principles and practices of New Thought, and those of Conscious Evolution.

New Thought is an over-a-century-old initiative to reframe Christianity around the recognition that God is within us. This point of view has given birth to Religious Science and Unity churches among others, and is at the forefront of the new evolutionary spirituality.

Conscious Evolution as a frame of reference is very aligned with New Thought principles. A synthesis of these perspectives will enhance the effectiveness of both initiatives in the 21st century, and a curriculum and new materials are in the works.

Some of this development is to be presented for the first time at the Association for Global New Thought (AGNT) conference to be held in Palm Springs October 3-7. Barbaras Institute titled Experiencing the Communion of Pioneering Souls is planned for October 5.
