Trending now: Chess Market Estimated To Experience A Hike in Growth Global Industry Size, Growth, Segments, Revenue, Manufacturers - Cole of Duty

CHENNAI: The last couple of months have been most challenging for Viswanathan Anand and his family here. While the five-time former world champion has been stranded in Germany since the end of February, when he went to feature in the Bundesliga chess tournament, his wife and son have had to deal with his absence. With the government of India planning to facilitate the return of Indians stuck abroad in a phased manner, Aruna is hopeful that Anand will return soon. "Anand is in touch with the Indian embassy in Frankfurt, but at present they don't have any concrete instruction as to when flights from Germany will be arranged. The embassy is aware that Anand is stranded there. I guess the evacuation is happening in a phased manner. It is a very large operation and you just have to wait for your turn. We hope to see him back soon," she told TOI on Wednesday. The MHA had said earlier in a statement: "Indian Embassies and High Commissions are preparing a list of distressed Indian citizens. The travel would begin in a phased manner from May 7." Aruna believes Anand's absence has been felt most by their son Akhil. "It has been a tough time for the family. With Anand not there, Akhil has found it difficult to manage. They both spend quality time whenever Anand is home. They stay in touch via video calls but Akhil misses his father's physical presence. The lockdown restrictions mean he can't even go out and it makes it doubly hard for Akhil," revealed Aruna. The time away from family hasn't stopped Anand from doing his bit for the Covid-19 victims. He raised money for the PM Cares Fund and is currently leading the Indian team in the FIDE Online Nations Cup.

To tackle the job, the co-founders of New York Citys Sky Ting yoga studio put together a 30-minute yoga workout for Well+Goods Good Moves video series thats gentle, but gets your blood flowing when you roll out of bed and onto your mat. This is a short, 30-minute energizing yoga sequence that you can do every morning to start your day, says Krissy Jones, one of the studios co-founders. Hopefully itll leave you feeling a bit more charged up and energized.

If youve always considered yoga to be a snoozy-type of workout, know that some types of flow can be more upbeat rather than restorative (like this one). Sun salutations, for example, are literally meant for you to greet the sun, and they count as cardio if you flow through them swiftly enough. Inversions, like downward-facing dog, also send a rush of blood to your brain as an instant pep-up, while backbends quash that stiffness that you may feel when you get up in the morning.

Besides the energizing components of the yoga flow, youll also be working through yoga poses that double as strength training. Moves like chair pose, frog squat, and warrior one burn out your leg and glute muscles, and a plankwhich youll get into several times throughout the practiceis, of course, a staple core strengthener. Put it all together in one yoga flow, as is the case with this Sky Ting workout, and youve got a combination for a more easiness in your body that helps you feel ready to tackle your day. Grab your mat (thats all youll need!), and prepare to feel much more limber and way less crunched by starting your morning with this yoga flow. Hit the video above to get moving, and dont be surprised if you feel so energized that you skip your a.m. cup of Joe afterwards.

Best yoga mats in the UK: Keep fit at home in 2020 - Mashable

May 07, 2020

I'm broken, like most eventers. Duct tape, bute, and get on with it, right? We, as riders and competitors, treat our horses significantly better than we treat ourselves. A few years back I was gearing up for a fun season with a nice string of younger horses when I got kicked in the side of the knee. Yoga was a large part of my rehab for it and I came back stronger and faster than my orthopedist thought was possible. I also became acutely aware that my collective injuries were causing some minor (or not so) imbalances in the saddle. For example, I struggled with canter half pass right because I was perpetually sitting a bit heavier on the left side. I was out of balance - mentally and physically.

One of the things I love about Yoga is that you can ramp it up and kick the #!(#%! out of yourself, or you can slow it down and it feel like active stretching. Anything you do has a direct impact on your time in the saddle: get fitter, get softer, get kinder, get stronger. This is why I started Om Riding. We combine Yoga geared specifically for equestrians with traditionally formatted clinics (ie. dressage, show jumping, cross-country, gymnastics, etc). As a result, we are able to address the mental and physical side of riding before we even get into the tack as well as get insight into some of the rider imbalances prior to beginning the gymnastics.

Here are three basic Yoga poses you can try at home that will help increase your flexibility and strength, in and out of the saddle.

Here is a quick 10-minute flow video for people to do before they hop on their horses. It's short, sweet, and to the point. It focuses on loosening the hips, back, and shoulders. It's light impact and you do not need a yoga mat for this flow!

Currently, I am unable to travel for clinics due to COVID-19 so we have moved to an online platform. It's been a fun shift and a great way to stay connected with riders nationally. As we hope to begin to travel again, we will continue the online classes as a way to help riders get more time on the mat. Anyone is welcome to join! Classes are Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:00 p.m. More information is available here.

Your Brain on Yoga is an impressive showcase of medical research from expert contributors including Sat Bir Singh Khalsa, Ph.D. of Harvard Medical School, Lorin Roche, Ph.D., and Anjhula Mya Singh Bais, Ph.D. The documentary explains the science behind yoga and mental health using specific personal experiences as examples.

The free virtual screening of Your Brain on Yoga is what Cindy and Cobb Rogers are calling a "necessity" in the current state of the world. "At a time when so many are stuck at home, alone with their mental issues, we want to give them an option that is proven to work," says Co-Founder Cobb Rogers, "And we don't just want to tell viewers about the power of yoga, we want to show them that it has actually helped real people."

The passion behind this project spawns from first-hand addiction and alcoholism that troubled the Rogers family for decades. For much of his adolescent life, Cobb witnessed his mother in and out of rehabilitation clinics, trying to regain sobriety and mental stability. Yoga was one of the only therapies that helped Cindy manage her mental illness. Today, she is five years sober and attributes yoga to her recovery. Now, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the mother-son team wants to share the benefits of yoga on mental health, especially during this high stress time.

Hundreds of members of the yoga community from all around the world, including therapists, doctors and instructors came forward to contribute to the project, all submitting recorded videos of their personal experiences and research from their own homes due to COVID-19. This outpouring of participation and passion for Your Brain on Yoga is an impressive show of the mental health benefits of yoga.

YogaPose.com is an entirely free online yoga resource created by Cindy and Cobb Rogers focused on ailment relief through individual yoga poses. The website features a comprehensive library of yoga pose tutorials, all searchable by symptoms, that showcase the physical and mental benefits of each pose.

Register to view Your Brain on Yoga on YogaPose.com. The film will be available to stream on May 9, 2020 and is free to watch, although donations are welcome. For all press or media inquiries, please contact [emailprotected].

DAVENPORT, Iowa (KWQC) -- Effective Friday morning, fitness centers, gyms, and aquatic centers in the 22 counties in Iowa that werent originally allowed to open may now allow a single person into their building on an appointment-only basis.

One Tree Hot Yoga on 53rd Street in Davenport shared the news with their clients. Shannon Watkins, owner of the studio said responses started coming in.

"Emails started rolling in and we are almost full for the week. Which is exciting," she said.

The studio will no longer be empty, but it's also not going to be a packed room like they are used to.

"We are allowed to have one client per class, but we are allowed to have the employees here. So we are excited for all of us to get back together again and get used to the heat again," Watkins said.

Watkins has set up flameless candles in the studio to enforce social distancing. Even though classes may not look the same, the coronavirus has taught them new ways to teach -- like starting online classes.

"We were the first to start them once we were told we had to close. it has been an adjustment for all of us. The community and our clients and our instructors and I think its made us better instructors," Watkins said.

As they learn to find peace in the time of the unknown. They plan to continue offering online classes while holding in-person sessions. Leaving the option up to people on what they want to do.

"From a business perspective, we really cant operate with just one client. The feedback we have been given we are certain that we are going to come back from this," Watkins said.

Coming back and trying to adjust to what they once knew.

The single person into a building rule will continue until May 15th. Restaurants and bars, swimming pools, salons, barbershops, libraries, and race tracks in those 22 counties must remain closed through May 15 in accordance with the previous proclamation.

INDIANAPOLIS Many Hoosiers are spending more time in front of computers and sitting at home.

An Indianapolis physical therapist gives some simple tips for a few things people can do to benefit the mind and body from home.

Social distancing has created an environment where many of us are spending countless hours in a chair. Although work is getting done, it could be taking a toll on the body and the mind.

Fred Loeffler is a physical therapist at the Indiana Hemophilia and Thrombosis Center. He is used to working with patents feeling pain.

His team realized, the tools they use with their patients could benefit all Hoosiers right now. It is called "chair yoga."

"Now that we are all sitting at the computers and most of us are at our laptops, which is a shorter keyboard, so we are really forward shouldered, we have our head forward, and we have a rounded back and all those muscles in the front in your peck area get tight and your head and neck muscles get tight," Loeffler said.

With the help of a Kimber Blackwell, a Physician Assistant at IHTC, Loeffler created an online chair yoga tutorial for anyone who is looking for mind and body relief while working from home or to manage stress in these difficult times.

Adapting yoga moves to a chair gives everyone a chance to enjoy the benefits, regardless of skill level.

"The chair yoga is about as easy as it gets and you can progress from there," Loeffler said. "With the chair poses you are just doing a simple mountain pose or extension pose where you are lifting up your head and rolling your shoulders back and taking some deep breaths will give your back, the muscles in your back of your neck and upper back a chance to relax and you can get some stretching in."

These simple movements go beyond stretching the body, Loeffler says deep breathing is one of the most important things someone can do to help with stress and anxiety.

"When we are stressed or when we are in these poor postures we are breathing shallow, we are not really getting full breath, we are not getting full oxygenation of blood and it just makes us foggy and it just makes us anxious," Loeffler said. "So those six deep breaths with your poses and extending your spine and opening things up really do help get oxygenated blood in."

Loeffler says to take a break from working, stretching your arms, and taking a deep breath in, can pay off in the long run.

"It really does help," Loeffler said. "It lowers blood pressure, it lowers anxiety, it lowers stress, it relieves tension, and it gets more oxygenated blood into you. It's efficient if you are a patient dealing with pain or an employee stuck at home working on a computer all day."

Extra time at home can be used to start developing habits that will help Hoosiers successfully rebound into a new normal.

"If you can begin a new chair yoga program and if you can begin incorporating some movement into you, that would be fantastic to have carry over into your everyday life when you return back to a normal work environment or a normal type of setting," says Loeffler.

Learn to write a haiku, how to make Swedish bacon pancakes or explore the history of Motown. For many, the stay-at-home order is a good opportunity to pick up new hobbies or skills and the College of DuPage Continuing Education program is here to help with the free "Continuing Education at Home" video series.

Designed to provide content while ensuring students stay safe and healthy, the videos are posted Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on Continuing Education's Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages.

Continuing Education's social media engagement has seen a substantial uptick since launching the series, increasing followers on Facebook by more than 20 percent and demonstrating a need among community members.

"Staying connected during this time is critical to the Continuing Education program as we are often seen as the face of the college to the greater community," said Stephanie Abrassart, Continuing Education Program Development Manager. "We want to ensure the community knows that we are still there for them and will continue to provide services to them. Folks are looking for things to do and keep themselves busy and we are happy to help do that by providing a variety of demos and classes."

Early in the shutdown, Continuing Education Dean Joseph Cassidy tasked the department to engage noncredit lifelong learners virtually through video content. Since then, Continuing Education staff and faculty have been creating video content to keep lifelong learners engaged and entertained. The series includes everything from hands-on activities such as baking cinnamon star bread, watercolor painting, yoga and tai chi to memoir writing and brain training exercises. Videos also include experts covering topics such as decluttering, the history of Motown and the history of folk-rock act Simon and Garfunkel. In addition, the series features COD Associate Dean of Public Services Tom Brady covering topics including coronavirus scams, crime prevention through environmental design and COVID-19 updates.

Retired Naperville resident Joseph Kubal said he has watched every video released and eagerly looks forward to future offerings. He lists his favorite videos as Swedish bacon pancakes, haiku poetry and watercolor painting.

Kubal has been involved with educational offerings at COD for about four years, attending many Lunch Break Lectures, Sage Series offerings and Continuing Education courses on a wide variety of subjects. He said Continuing Education has done an excellent job in pursuing its mission during the pandemic.

"Continuing Education is doing a wonderful job of opening up new possibilities for folks to sample a wide variety of disciplines and activities while many of us have a little more time," he said. "The videos help me concentrate on things other than the pandemic and gives me a little something to look forward to a couple of times a week. They help me take my mind off things for at least a few minutes and concentrate on things that may have been on my to-do list or my bucket list for years."

While supporting and guiding the faculty through the process of getting videos made and submitted, Continuing Education staff have also joined the effort to create content for the series, providing videos on topics ranging from baking and sewing face masks to paint pouring.

"While none of these are in our normal scope of work, we are trying to keep students engaged in ways that keep their minds going," Abrassart said.

She added that the series provides the opportunity to test the waters and explore subject areas they might not typically cover.

"The video series has allowed Continuing Education to explore new content areas that are of interest to folks, but that may not be able to be designed into an entire five-week course," she said. "A perfect example of this was our cross lateral brain exercises video. We don't normally offer an entire class in that area of study, but many viewers engaged with that video and it was neat to explore the topic. The series has also been a good testing ground to see what the community is interested in and this helps our programmers with future course development."
