Yoga instructor offers healthy way to beat summer heat

With the blistering temperatures of summer and the onset of the monsoon, the chance to get outdoors for some much needed exercise is often limited by the weather. And for those who prefer something a little more mentally relaxing than doing high-intensity aerobics or power lifting weights, the options are even morelimited.

As a result, local yoga instructor Macaela Cashman is offering a slew of new opportunities to stay fit, both physically and mentally, while beating the heat and having somefun.

Yoga really helps put life into perspective. It gives me so much joy and provides so much meaning in my life, Cashman said, describing how she began practicing yoga more than 20 years ago in order to help hersleep.

Now teaching out of Buena Health and Fitness Center after her previous host, Nancy Buttke of Health2o, was made to relocate, Cashman has added an additional class to her weekly schedule, is planning a meditation workshop, is preparing to teach an eight-week yoga course at Cochise College, and will be releasing a yoga DVD sometime thisfall.

I stay pretty busy, she said with a chuckle, adding that relocating to the fitness center has been a welcomechange.

The new location is more spacious and has hardwood floors. Its more of a studio-style room, Cashmansaid.

A gym membership is not required in order to participate in yoga classes, Hank Diaz has been behind me 100 percent, she said of her new host, owner of the fitnesscenter.

Along with a more welcoming environment, Cashman is also providing more opportunities to attendclass.

It's yoga for dudes: one busy man's guide to broga

Posted: at 4:46 pm


When you're lying on your back in a pool of sweat, looking up at the crotch of a man you've just met as you grip his ankles, local precipitation being a real risk, the last thing you want to be told is to inhale. But you do, because you need to breathe deeply because you're knackered and about to be hoisted into an "assisted wheel" by your yoga instructor, a heavyweight bodybuilder and American footballer whose nickname is "Miller the Pillar".

Matt Miller is the very large man behind Broga UK, a new network of classes infiltrating gyms to cater for a growing national demand for yoga that appeals to, well, bros (aka dudes, aka men). His target audience is me, a physically active man who understands very well the benefits of the downward dog but would sooner cultivate his horribly stiff hamstrings than walk into a room full of girls spouting mystical Sanskrit (om, no thanks).

My only previous brush with yoga came in a beachside gazebo in Brazil, in a class during a surfing holiday. As my terribly earnest instructor struggled with English while I sat with crossed legs "feel the energy from the Earth. Feeeeel it come through the floor and touch your c***s [he meant coccyx] and travel up your colon [column, spinal]" it took all my energy and focus not to break the awkward silence with a fit of giggles. I did not go back.

Sure, not all yoga classes are transported straight from a hippy Himalayan hill station, but nor do even the good ones necessarily appeal to men. The British Wheel of Yoga, the governing body for yoga, has 8,000 members, only one in 10 of whom are male. The proportion of men among its network of 4,000 teachers is lower still.

I meet Miller at 7.30am in a basement room with chain-mail curtains at a branch of Gymbox, one of those blue-lit, black-walled gyms with an apparent lightbulb shortage and a nightclub soundtrack. The first thing I notice, after Miller's ridiculous physique, is the women. Girls make up about a third of the class of 17 City types. They, too, come for no-nonsense yoga, with minimal meditating but all of the breathing and positions that make the practice so good for you.

"It's the best bits together," says Clare Ginty, 29. "It's got the hard stuff we like without taking two hours out of the day. You feel like you've had a really good workout every time, even if you're aching like a bitch afterwards."

Miller says that American men, particularly in his native California (he's from Laguna Beach), are bigger on yoga, which is a training staple for top sports teams. In 2011, for example, the US goalkeeper Brad Friedel, then 40, introduced his yoga instructor to team-mates and staff at Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. They convinced their veteran manager, Harry Redknapp, to use yoga to combat a growing injury problem. Elsewhere, the Premier League's oldest outfield player, Ryan Giggs, has also attributed his longevity to the activity. You can even buy Giggs Fitness ("Strength and conditioning, inspiredby yoga") on a 2011 DVD.

The "back and twist" class at Gymbox starts with breathing and some raising of the arms to the sky. Sadly there's no escaping the dreaded down dog, the arched-back position with bum in the air. The pace is high as Miller guides the class between moves, and I'm soon sweating as much as I would be on my bike, but working a lot more muscles.

We attempt the assisted wheel towards the end of the class. It's the arch position you rise up to from a supine position, as if your navel has been attached to a winch. I stopped being able to pull one when I was about six but, with sweaty-ankle man supporting my shoulders as I rise, and Miller pulling up my hips, I make it.

Ankle man is Andrew Dougall. He's 44, works in insurance and has done almost 10 broga classes. Before that his wife had taken him to a regular yoga class. "This is more physical," he says. "I'm a very unsupple person. Even when I was young playing rugby I was the one who had to really stretch his hamstrings. Now I do Thai boxing and I'm physically stronger and don't get any back ache."

Yoga does not advance religion, judge rules

Posted: at 4:46 pm


San Diego

A California judge has ruled that the teaching of yoga in public schools does not establish a government interest in religion.

The decision came after parents sued the Encinitas Union School District to stop yoga classes introduced to elementary schoolchildren in the upscale suburb just north of San Diego.

In his opinion, San Diego Superior Court Judge John Meyer explained that although yoga is rooted in religion, it has a legitimate secular purpose in the district's physical education program. He also said the practice, contrary to parents' complaints, does not advance or inhibit religion.

Finally, Meyer said that although he had some concerns about the K.P. Jois Foundation, an organization launched in 2011 that awarded the district a $533,720 grant to start the program, the district's yoga curriculum does not create any kind of excessive government entanglement with religion. That's because it is the schools -- and not the foundation -- that are ultimately responsible for supervising the yoga instructors, Meyer said.

The National Center for Law and Policy, a nonprofit based in Escondido, Calif., that represented the plaintiffs, said it plans to appeal.

"We strongly disagree with the judge's opinion on the facts and the law," said Dean Broyles, who as president of the center represented plaintiffs Stephen and Jennifer Sedlock. The Sedlocks' child attends El Camino Creek Elementary School in Carlsbad, Calif., which is part of the Encinitas Union School District. They first sued the district in February.

"It's absolutely incredible, but it's not surprising," said Sian Welch, who pulled her daughter out of the yoga classes offered at Capri Elementary School in Encinitas. Welch said she believed the judge's decision was at least partly influenced by the money involved in funding the program and by an anti-Christian bias.

"We will have a society very soon where Christians will be the weirdest people," Welch said, though she said she has no plans to pull her daughter out of the school district.

David A. Peck, a lawyer with Coast Law Group LLP, a firm based in Encinitas that represented parents who are for the yoga program, explained that the judge had aptly applied the so-called "Lemon test," a legal litmus test first established by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1971. The test poses three different questions to determine whether a government's action violates the First Amendment in matters of religion.
