Tangut USA Joins Ra Yoga Studio in Promoting Health and Wellness
Posted: at 9:18 pm
Irvine, CA (PRWEB) June 30, 2012
Tangut USA Corporation, known for its clinically-proven natural health supplements from the pollution-free Tibetan Plateau, joins Ra Yoga Studio in Costa Mesa, California, to promote health and wellness among yoga practitioners.
Health is not just a condition, it is a lifestyle, said Diana Yuen, CEO of Tangut USA. Yoga is a great natural way to stay healthy, and we fully believe in applying the best of nature to address todays health concerns.
About Ra Yoga Studio Ra Yoga Studio blends the physical asana practice with the principles that embody Yoga philosophy and therapy. Practitioners not only learn the importance of centering and breathing but will also learn to lose themselves in movement and kinship.
The calm, balanced, and nurturing environment is considered by many as a personal sanctuary with 2 large yoga rooms, including a heated room, 2 yoga therapy rooms, a beautiful lounge area, 2 locker rooms with showers, hand-crafted natural furniture and a spacious 55-car parking lot. The center was built through the collaborative dream of Robert Kittleman, Jenny Vande Hei, and Aileen Pham, who believed that unity, which is the meaning of the word yoga, should be woven through every fiber of a studio.
Healthy Inside and Out In addition to the mental and physical fitness found in practicing yoga, Tangut USA also believes in the importance of food intake when considering overall health. Todays fast-paced lives have lead to a microwave culture where radiation, processed foods, and many toxins and impurities have permeated our diets. According to the World Health Organization, the global incidence of cancer will increase by 75% in the year 2030. This is heavily attributed to the foods that we eat and our lack of vital nutrients.
Tangut USA aims to be at the forefront of the return to purity by growing and cultivating organic fruits and herbs specifically in the Tibetan Plateau, the only pollution-free region in the world as recognized by UNESCO that is capable of developing such plants. These pure, raw ingredients are then studied and developed by world-renowned scientists into unique natural products that target our many health and nutritional deficiencies.
Tangut USA and Ra Yoga Tangut will introduce its natural line of health products at Ra Yoga Studio on July 23, 2012, from 4pm-8pm. The evening will be highlighted with product demonstrations, free samples and giveaways.
Three products will be available for viewing and purchase and several others are in the pipeline. One of the products, Resvene, is described as a natural anti-aging and cell-revival formula made from 98% pure Trans Resveratrol, a Harvard-researched natural ingredient that activates the Sirt1 anti-aging gene. The other two products are entitled Sea Berry Essence and Sea Berry CardioMed. Both are made from 100% USDA and EU certified organic Sea Buckthorn seed oil which has been claimed by the Dr. Oz show as being beneficial for the heart, stomach, mouth, skin hair, nails and even weight loss due to its unique Omega 7 properties.
About Tangut USA Corporation Tangut Corporation is a research-based company that combines the best of nature with the best of science to develop new, innovative products for the health industry. Tanguts unique line of natural products is clinically-proven and is made with bioactive ingredients drawn from the purest organic source in the world the pollution-free Tibetan Plateau. Its award-winning experts in research and development are recognized worldwide and share the Tangut belief of using creative and sustainable solutions to face today's health challenges and discover new opportunities for tomorrow.

Kellie Pickler Shares Her Health & Fitness Secrets
Posted: at 9:18 pm
Kellie Pickler by Kristin Barlowe, courtesy of Sony Music Nashville.
Kellie Pickler sat down with Fitness Magazine recently to discuss her health and fitness routine, her diet and her music. She also revealed whether or not she and husband Kyle Jacobs are planning children any time soon. Thats something that is important to talk about before you get married! she told the magazine. You have to make sure you both want the same things. Were not actively trying, but if it happens, it happens.
Kellie is a vegetarian and shared that she really does love to eat vegetables. She also admitted what her favorite foods to splurge on are and her philosophy about dieting. Asparagus is my favorite and I really enjoy grilled onions, peppers, zucchini and squash, she said. I love fruit too and drink a lot of water to get all of the junk out! Its really true about you are what you eat. What you eat really is reflected on the outside. Still, I splurge and have a cake and ice cream, just not every day.
Kellie always looks great on the red carpet, but it isnt from hours logged at the gym. She prefers manual labor with her husband. At the very least, she has to be distracted before starting a workout.
Im not a gym girl, she said. My husband and I are in the middle of a landscaping project which is keeping us busy and I actually love mowing with our push mower! Im so ADD, so I like things outdoors like kayaking. I have a treadmill but I have to put a movie in before I start walking.
If youve ever wondered what the inside of Kellies tour bus looks like, check out the photo tour in our At Home with GAC section. Plus, you can watch Kellies episode of Celebrity Motor Homes featuring her tour bus on GAC next Monday, July 2 at 8/7c. See Photos of Kellies Bus >>

Jessica Gallione gives a tender kiss to her 10-week old daughter Coralia during Momma and Baby yoga class.
SANTA CRUZ, Calif. Babies can be good yoga partners. Just ask the folks at Pacific Cultural Centers Ashtanga Yoga Institute.
Babies live in the present moment, are flexible and like to stretch. But the Mama & Baby Yoga classes are really for the moms.
One or two volunteers attend, holding and distracting the little ones who have had their fill of a quiet yoga practice, allowing their moms to continue with the asanas, or poses.
Hannah Muse and Treea Clements teach the classes two days a week.
A mother of two, Clements said she started teaching postnatal yoga in 2005 and taught prenatal yoga before that. She said she includes a check-in time for moms to talk about what they might be dealing with as new parents.
The women really bond, she said. We are all coming in to spiritually center and ground ourselves and to bring our bodies back to strength, flexibility and health. It includes some powerful inner stuff.

Going beyond Yoga

(Discovered by the west during the hippie era as a way to transcendence, yoga has in recent years become part of the search for the perfect physique. Thanks to new teachers, gadgets and practices, it could again become an entry point for deeper spiritual practice)
The first time I tried yogaI wont say when, but Carlos Santana was still calling himself Devadipit was in someones basement in the suburbs, with plastic mats on the floor. Some guy in sweatpants led us through the Sun Salutations and the obligatory guided relaxation in the Corpse pose. Afterward we all hung around drinking soy coffee.
A couple of months later, I was struggling to stay in the lotus posture in front of an intense, scary-looking Indian guy in orange robes. The scent of sandalwood incense hung in the air, blending with the sampaguita garlands draped around a framed portrait of the guru. After a couple of minutes he told me my mind wasnt pure enough, and that I should chant babanam kevalam some more before coming back.
I had flunked the initiation.
The first wave of interest in yoga came in the aftermath of the hippie era, but the focus was on transcendence. Their minds having been expanded with psychedelic drugs, people looking for enlightenment turned east. In the 70s, ex-hippies chanted Hare Krishna, tried Transcendental Meditation, joined Ananda Marga or devoted themselves to Bhagwan Shri Rajneesh or Satya Sai Baba.
Few people actually practiced the asanas-the yoga poses. Those who did did so perfunctorily, mainly to prepare themselves for meditation and-they hoped-eventual enlightenment.
Then toward the end of the decade, yoga took a turn for the weird. Chess grandmaster Viktor Korchnoi enlisted two monks from Ananda Marga to psych out Anatoli Karpov in their 1978 world championship match in Baguio City. Later that same year, a nun from the same sect set herself on fire in Luneta to protest the continued imprisonment of their guru in India.
Things went quiet in the 80s, but something interesting happened during the 90s. Somehow the practice of yoga merged with the cult of the perfect physique that had emerged during the Yuppie era. Western disciples had taken the teachings of their Indian gurus and democratized it, adding more than a bit of marketing spin. What in India were seen as age-old traditions emerged in the new global marketplace as brands: Iyengar, Ashtanga, Bikram, Jivamukti. The asanas became the focal point of yoga practice.
Today, yoga is a growth industry. Ten years ago, you could count the yoga teachers in Manila on the fingers of one hand (and still have a finger or two left over). Today there are literally dozens of yoga studios offering a plethora of classes in Metro Manila alone, and other metropolitan areas arent far behind.
Beyond Yoga, a studio that opened last October in the Tomas Morato area of Quezon City, exemplifies the modern, Westernized approach to yoga.
