Yoga for Stress Relief - Wind Down with Kundalini - Video

One Des Moines resident credits the art of yoga as the medicine she needs to keep her up and running.

One reason I feel younger is because I take yoga and it keeps me limber, says Maurine Diehl.

Maurine isnt your typical yoga student.

Im a hundred; Im passed a hundred now, says Diehl.

Along with about a dozen residents at Scottish Rite Park, Maurine takes chair yoga, a class adapted to senior citizens to keep them flexible and moving.

We are surprised here with the results, because all of them have a lot of challenges with their health, and they tell me I walk because I do this, I can move and stand up and do everything because I exercise, says yoga instructor, Ofelia Mohr.

As the classes oldest student, Maurine says yoga gives her something to look forward to and keeps her on her toes.

I come because it makes me feel so good, it keeps me limber and it keeps me feeling well, says Diehl.

The class which meets three times a week has become a staple in many of the students lives, giving them abilities and strength to live without the use of a wheel chair or cane.

YOUTHFUL LIFE: Yoga Keeps Centenarian Young

Robert Sidoti leads students through a class at the Somerville, Mass., studio.

By Cari Nierenberg

Tired of hearing a wife, girlfriend, mother, sister or female friend sing the praises of yoga, some guys will eventually man up and tag along to a class. Once there, in many studios, he might be one of few downward facing dudes.

Being the only man surrounded by a room of limber ladies in tight-fitting yoga pants might sound like paradise. But it gets rough when the gal on the next mat can touch her nose to her knees and the guy can barely bend over to reach his toes.

Feeling self-consciousness and possibly embarrassed, a guy may retreat to his man cave convinced that yoga is not for him. It's too New Age-y or hippie-ish. Or not macho enough. Or too damn hard.

Enter broga -- a yoga class geared for men.

"We're a yoga class geared for guys, but open to all," says Adam O'Neill, president and co-founder of Broga, which is based in Somerville, Mass. Although women are welcome in class, it's designed with a man in mind.

"We chose the name broga because it's funny, catchy, and familiar. It lets men know this is for them," O'Neill explains.

"On the one hand, we don't take ourselves too seriously. But broga is a real thing with real integrity," points out O'Neill. Classes, he says, work from the familiar to the unfamiliar.

'Broga' caters to guys wary of yoga

The latest rage among the mommies in my community is yoga for preschoolers. Many of the moms are enrolling children as young as 3. The advertising promises all sort of benefits. What are your thoughts?

A: Intrigued by this question, I did some investigating and discovered that many of these programs are based on the writing of Helen Garabedian, the author of "Itsy Bitsy Yoga for Toddlers and Preschoolers" (De Capo Press, 2008). Newsweek once called Garabedian the "Baby Yoga Expert." The hype for her book promises fewer tantrums, better sleep, better motor coordination, improved listening ability, improved ability to follow directions, better self-expression, and higher self-esteem. Oh, pul-eeze!

Many of these same benefits, and more, are going to result from taking a child to the park for a couple of hours several times a week and letting him run and play on the equipment. Besides, the park is free. As for fewer tantrums and enhanced obedience, sorry, but yoga is no substitute for calm, firm discipline.

Garabedian's publicity also claims that according to research, toddlers need 30 minutes of "structured activity" per day. I pride myself on staying on top of stuff like this and I know of no such research. In fact, the only research I'm aware of says that toddlers benefit more from unstructured than structured play. The one thing today's youngsters do not need is more micromanagement, more structure, and less discretionary time.

Two thumbs down.

Q: We recently found racy pictures on my 13-year-old son's smart phone. The women were not nude, much less participating in sex acts, but were wearing very revealing bikinis, short skirts, and halter tops. Their poses were very provocative as well. My husband says this is normal stuff and wants to completely ignore it. I say we should deal with it. What say you?

A: It is surely normal for a 13-year-old boy to be attracted to females and to have sexual thoughts and feelings, but your husband is missing a great opportunity here. The fact that the pictures don't constitute hard-core pornography and that this might be "normal" from a statistical perspective is beside the point. The door is open for your husband to sit down with his son and give him some fundamental instruction concerning the opposite sex: call it Women 101.

He could begin this mentoring by helping your son begin to understand that thinking of women as mere sexual objects is a form of disrespect; that anatomical attributes are not the measure of a woman; that while good looks are not a bad thing, the real prize is a woman who is a wonderful wife and mother, a woman, in other words, whose beauty goes deeper than her skin. There's an opening here for your husband to help his son begin the journey to valid manhood. He should seize it!

26-03-2012 09:14 scoobysworkshop.com This video is different from all my others. I have over two hundred videos on how you can lose weight, gain muscle, and get healthier but none about me. This video is about me and my fitness goals and this is important for two reasons. First to show you I practice what I preach. I harp on your folks about how important goal setting is and Its just as important for me as it is for you! Every year I publish my fitness goals on the About Me section of my website and in this video I will cover a 200 mile race which was one of my fitness goals for 2012 The second reason I feel this is important for you is that you can tell from looking at me that I know how to build a great physique and can follow my own advice, but what you cant tell is if my bod is for go or show. Its one thing to build an amazing physique, its another to build a functional and healthy body. Too many bodybuilders get out of breath climbing up two flights of stairs and dont do anything athletic outside the weight room. I have learned just as much about fitness, bodybuilding and health from sports as I have in the weight room. For example, I can tell you firsthand from doing triathlons about how important hydration is, whether cardio burns muscle, and how far the body can be pushed. From beach volleyball I can tell you firsthand about shoulder an knee issues and how to keep the joints healthy. Bodybuilding experience comes from a variety of sources, from books, from lifting weights and from ...
