She has been dancing &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;since she was six years old first with Ballet, then Flamenco and then formally training in Contemporary &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Dance gaining a first class BA (hons) degree. She also holds a Post-grad diploma in Performance from &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;her time spent with Transitions Dance Company. Emily started practicing Yoga when she was eighteen &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;to complement her dance training and has since danced in some of the world’s best venues such as the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Royal Opera House in London. However her nomadic soul was yearning to travel and continue her study &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;of Yoga. Emily left London behind to deepen her study of Yoga in India and since that moment has &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;integrated travel, dance and yoga to form part of her everyday life. She is inspired by the practice of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ashtanga Vinyasa and trained in the Hatha tradition and also fuses dance and yoga into a practice called &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;yogic dance.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Her athletic classes focus on harnessing the power that comes from within us to be soft yet &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;strong in our practise, moving with the grace of a dancer to transition between Asana’s, correct alignment &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;and finally experiencing the freedom and joy that comes from moving the body! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;p:colorscheme colors="#ffffff,#000000,#808080,#000000,#bbe0e3,#333399,#009999,#99cc00"&gt;&lt;/p:colorscheme&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="O" v:shape="_x0000_s1026"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Yogic Dance&amp;nbsp; 17&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 9pt; position: relative; top: -0.45em;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;th&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Dec 2011 (Saturday)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 9.30am – 12.30pm RM120/session &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Take your Yoga practice off the mat and learn to dance through set sequences that will travel across the floor,&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;rotate 360 degree’s, move in and out of the floor and beyond! Sequencing Asana’s together like never before we will learn how to bring the rhythm, grace and power of dance fully into our Yoga practice. Although this workshop will be physically challenging at the heart of this practice is the chance to awaken the freedom and joy within and express that as we dance through the Asana’s. If you have the desire to open your heart and lose yourself in the moment come and enjoy Yogic Dance. &lt;b&gt;This workshop &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;is not for complete beginners&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p:colorscheme colors="#ffffff,#000000,#808080,#000000,#bbe0e3,#333399,#009999,#99cc00"&gt;&lt;/p:colorscheme&gt;&lt;div class="O" v:shape="_x0000_s1026"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p:colorscheme colors="#ffffff,#000000,#808080,#000000,#bbe0e3,#333399,#009999,#99cc00"&gt;&lt;/p:colorscheme&gt;&lt;div class="O" v:shape="_x0000_s1026"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Advanced Flow Master Class 18&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt; position: relative; top: -0.45em;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;th&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Dec 2011 (Sunday) &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;9.30 am – 12.30pm.&amp;nbsp; RM120/session&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;In this Advanced Flow master class the focus will be on creative sequencing to challenge strength and stamina within the flow.

His teaching style is a mix of dynamic , strengthening and releasing posture, using the breath to deepen awareness of posture and personal space. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chakra Vinyasa Flow, is a meditative, yet dynamic, form of yoga using the breath and dristi whilst flowing from pose to pose. Through the vinyasa flow sequence, we will explore the 7 major chakra which will bring the awareness into the individual's chakra system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dristi or point of concentration helps us to stay focus and calm the mind during our practice in chakra vinyasa flow. We will be using dristi to focus on the 7 energy centers, which will helps raise our energy levels and deepening our experience during our practice. Although all yoga pose work each of the 7 chakra, there are specific poses that will address each chakra. We will work each chakra at a time connecting the chakras to work with each other and also to open up the energy channels for optimal flow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Friday 23 July 2010&lt;/strong&gt;

（槟城菩提中学礼堂，23-Oct 2009，星期五）&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;与槟城久违十年的雷博士，终于带着轻盈的脚步，再次踏上槟城的土地，当晚她带来了一份心灵礼物，与现场二千多位听众分享如何滋养灵性的喜悦。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;以下是雷博士主讲的内容精髓，当天没来得及出席的朋友，让你有机会共享讲座会的精华，而那些有出席的，就当着是重温讲座的笔记，再次滋养和唤醒灵性的喜悦吧！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;金光灌顶&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我们常相信和依赖‘有形’的物质来维持我们的健康，其实‘无形’的 《气》 和 《光》，也一样可以滋养我们的生命。 金光， 有免疫和转化的作用，要常冥想头顶有一个太阳，金光从头顶慢慢进入喉部、胸部、腹部、内脏、生殖器官、腿部、脚趾头、手臂和手指头，金光不但能增强免疫系统，而且还可以转化不好的能量，并修补出现问题的地方。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;思想逆转&lt;/strong&gt;现今的污染很严重，很多东西的能量都是逆转的，包括化肥泥土、蔬果、手机和电器等等，不难发现，人类的思想也开始逆转了！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;灵感天线&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;每人的头上都有一个天线，扮演着“灵感” 和 “能量” 的感应器。灵感和能量并非一天就可以制造出来，我们必须加强天线的敏感度，但是我们的天线已经渐渐被无形的电波和辐射污染了，科学昌明的时代，几乎每人都有一个、甚至几个心爱的手机，而且还有无线电脑到处可以上网，我们肉眼看不到的电波和辐射，在天空穿越飞行，造成我们天线的吸收能力，变得日愈迟钝了。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;迷失方向&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;科学实验把手机放在蜜蜂旁边，结果蜜蜂迷失了方向，回不了家，因为蜜蜂的天线已被手机的电波和辐射干扰，造成蜜蜂精神错乱了，可见辐射的杀伤力是非常严重的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;女性对辐射比男性敏感，雷博士曾经遇见一对夫妇，因为丈夫长期在家使用手机上班，结果妻子得了癌症！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;回家&lt;br /&gt;我们身边有太多“不自然”的东西，所以我们也迷失了！每个人都想回家，回到自己心灵真正快乐的家，但我们喜悦的时间都不长久，这表示我们“迷路”了！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;当你发现自己迷路时，千万不要再盲目的走下去，不妨停下脚步，问问自己：“我怎么会走到这里来的？” 然后告诉自己，我要回家，回到本来的喜悦！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;饮食 --- 回家的关键&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;食物的来源和处理过程，会间接影响我们感到喜悦或愤怒的情绪。人造色素、防腐剂，通过化肥或没有光彩的食物，吃了会让人也没有光彩，试问“森林里野生的植物，为什么比人类栽种的更有营养？”。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;不自然的化肥，提供不足的光彩，只要缺一光彩，蔬菜就缺乏一部分的滋养，人类吃了自然也没光彩，也影响下一代的健康日渐走下坡。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;吃什么，得什么&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;没有一种动物是喜悦被杀的，所以吃了那些惨遭恐惧而被杀的动物，人类的情绪也跟着不安和愤怒，因为“你吃什么，就得什么”，那是不变的事实！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;如何从阴霾走出来&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;雷博士分享一个关于她邻居的真实故事，邻居的女儿自杀，接着姐妹也相继逝世，生命受到很大的打击，但是过了不久，邻居已经可以从阴霾走出来，而且散发很正面的能量和光彩，雷博士问他是怎么做到的？答案是:-&lt;br /&gt;· 心念的力量 --- 首先对自己的过去负责任，然后把目前最糟糕的心态稍微提高一点点，把消极的想法，慢慢的转换成正面的，秘诀是多说“谢谢”、“感恩”，这样那些让你谢谢的事情，才会常常发生在你身上，还有看到别人成功或行善，要跟着高兴和鼓励，不要错过与好运起相应的机会，渐渐地成功会越来越近了！相反的，如果你起妒忌心，那么所有的运气就会跟你越离越远了。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;生命的提升 --- 要相信每个生命都有一定的作用，我们来到这个世界，本身就有一定的功课要完成，人生道路出现的障碍，就是要我们学习和理解生命的意义。邻居起初对死亡是感到愤怒的，但后来明白生命是需要提升时，就坦然接受亲人的离去了。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;如何清除过去成长期间的创伤？&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. 首先探讨创伤的由来:-&lt;br /&gt;· 来自母胎期间 --- 母亲怀孕时的情绪波动&lt;br /&gt;· 父母对孩子的批判 --- 不打不成器的错误想法&lt;br /&gt;· 来自祖先的观念和习气&lt;br /&gt;· 自卑感&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2． 治疗创伤的方法:-&lt;/strong&gt;· 回想、改变 --- 把父母的眼神，从严厉变成温柔，把负面的评价，变成称赞。&lt;br /&gt;· 试问“是谁真正没得到爱？”，“谁没得到关怀和肯定？”&lt;br /&gt;· 冥想把爱和关怀送给父母或祖先，也可以观想送礼物给这些真正需要爱的人。&lt;br /&gt;· 每天临睡时，冥想时钟的时针顺时转三圈，再逆时转三圈，可以帮助清除过去的创伤。&lt;br /&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;心的开始&lt;/strong&gt;· 每一天，每一刻和每一秒都是新的开始，只要当下明白这一点，你以前的瓶颈就消失了！&lt;br /&gt;· 越有爱心，免疫力越强！&lt;br /&gt;· “漏能量” --- 别把注意力放在病者的病情上，也别常常讨论它会多严重和危险性，应该去投注和吸引更多正面的能量给病者。&lt;br /&gt;· 人类初登月球时，有人去访问印第安人长老的看法，经过几天和族群的商讨后，总结只有一句话 – “谁来警告月球？！”，可见人类带来的伤害！&lt;br /&gt;· 细菌变变变！！人类越讨厌、越对抗细菌，细菌就越强！就像我们杀虫子，虫子就越生越多。&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;问与答&lt;br /&gt;听众 ： 梦是什么？ &lt;br /&gt;雷博士： 梦 -- 是平时收不到的讯息，也有可能是日有所思，夜有所梦，但是我们可以改梦，做恶梦时，把自己叫醒。 睁开眼睛也是梦，即使去了极乐世界，还是要醒！&lt;br /&gt;· &lt;br /&gt;听众 ：&lt;strong&gt; 要如何向观音菩萨祈求孩子平安？&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;雷博士： 先要跟菩萨的心起相应，菩萨都希望全部的孩子平安，所以不妨为全世界的孩子祈求，一定灵验！&lt;br /&gt;. .&lt;br /&gt;我当晚也把问题写在纸上呈上去了， 问题是 ---- 请问“养生”和“灵性的喜悦”最终目标是什么？ 是继续轮回，还是去极乐世界？ (雷博士一念完问题，即引起全场观众一阵笑声。。。)&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;雷博士： 每人心里都有不同的极乐世界，各有不同的定义和境界，去极乐世界，主要是那份喜悦的感觉，所以最重要的是，你得 时时维持喜悦的心，而且要尽量分享喜悦和感染身边全部的众生，发心帮助一切众生感到喜悦、清安和自在，这就是灵性最究竟的喜悦了！&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;雷博士简短的回复，我的心里找到了满意的答案，非常感恩。&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;借此与大家分享，愿大家都找到 回家的路，身心灵100分。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1818619151439082794-1599200181491929287?l=yoga-plus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818619151439082794/posts/default/1599200181491929287'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818619151439082794/posts/default/1599200181491929287'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yoga-plus.blogspot.com/2009/11/blog-post.html' title='回归灵性的喜悦 – 雷久南博士 （现场记录）'/><author><name>Yoga Plus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07329243780823299681</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WFblx2VNf8M/S-WaofH7O_I/AAAAAAAAAQY/qW7MpgrS60c/S220/yogaplus-Marc+176.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818619151439082794.post-3036524451912217563</id><published>2009-09-25T00:33:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2009-09-25T00:45:36.419+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Karma Yoga'/><title type='text'>108 Sun Salutation Relays 26 Sep 09</title><content type='html'>Why Sun Salutations?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sun Salutations is a yoga practice that involve a series of yoga postures (asana) . This exercise helps in endocrine systems and the chakra (the vortexes through which vital life energy – or prana – is channeled. Helping to build strength and flexibility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In many cultures, light has long been a symbol of consciousness and self-illumination. "The world begins with the coming of light," wrote Jungian analyst Erich Neumann in The Origins and History of Consciousness (Princeton University Press, 1995). "Opposition between light and darkness has informed the spiritual world of all peoples and molded it into shape." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our primary source of light is, of course, the sun. When we look at our closest star, we may see nothing more than a big yellow ball. But for thousands of years, the Hindus have revered the sun, which they call Surya, as both the physical and spiritual heart of our world and the creator of all life itself. That's why one of Surya's many other appellations is Savitri (the Vivifier), who, according to the Rig Veda, "begets and feeds mankind in various manners" (III.55.19). Moreover, since everything that exists originates from the sun, as Alain Dani巐ou wrote in The Myths and Gods of India (Inner Traditions, 1991), it "must contain the potentiality of all that is to be known." For the Hindus, the sun is the "eye of the world" (loka chakshus), seeing and uniting all selves in itself, an image of and a pathway to the divine. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the means of honoring the sun is through the dynamic asana sequence Surya Namaskar (better known as Sun Salutation). The Sanskrit word namaskar stems from namas, which means "to bow to" or "to adore." (The familiar phrase we use to close our yoga classes, namaste?i&gt;te means "you"梐lso comes from this root.) Each Sun Salutation begins and ends with the joined-hands mudra (gesture) touched to the heart. This placement is no accident; only the heart can know the truth. &lt;br /&gt;History and Practice&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's some disagreement among authorities over the origins of Sun Salutation. Traditionalists contend that the sequence is at least 2,500 years old (perhaps even several hundred years older), that it originated during Vedic times as a ritual prostration to the dawn, replete with mantras, offerings of flowers and rice, and libations of water. Skeptics of this dating maintain that Sun Salutation was invented by the raja of Aundh (a former state in India, now part of Maharashtra state) in the early 20th century, then disseminated to the West in the 1920s or 1930s. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However old Sun Salutation is, and whatever it may originally have looked like, many variations have evolved over the years. Janita Stenhouse, in Sun Yoga: The Book of Surya Namaskar (Innerspace Map Studio, 2001), illustrates two dozen or so adaptations (though several are quite similar). Our sequence here consists of 12 "stations" composed of eight different postures, the last four being the same as the first four but performed in reverse order. In this sequence, we'll start and end in Tadasana. (Station 12, not pictured, is the same as station 1 on p. 91). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since the sequence is, in essence, a humble adoration of the light and insight of the self, it's essential to practice Sun Salutation in a spirit of devotion and with your awareness turned always inward toward the heart. Make each movement as mindful and precise as possible, especially as you near the end of your rounds, when fatigue can lead to sloppiness. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Taken fr Yoga Journal&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1818619151439082794-3036524451912217563?l=yoga-plus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818619151439082794/posts/default/3036524451912217563'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818619151439082794/posts/default/3036524451912217563'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yoga-plus.blogspot.com/2009/09/108-sun-salutation-relays-26-sep-09.html' title='108 Sun Salutation Relays 26 Sep 09'/><author><name>Yoga Plus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07329243780823299681</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WFblx2VNf8M/S-WaofH7O_I/AAAAAAAAAQY/qW7MpgrS60c/S220/yogaplus-Marc+176.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818619151439082794.post-7145076896125690599</id><published>2009-08-16T17:43:00.007+08:00</published><updated>2009-08-23T14:04:44.291+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Personal Safety'/><title type='text'>Ladies Personal Safety Workshop</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WFblx2VNf8M/SofcpzjIbxI/AAAAAAAAAOA/JFr1eS8rNLo/s1600-h/Personal+Safety+057.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WFblx2VNf8M/SofcpzjIbxI/AAAAAAAAAOA/JFr1eS8rNLo/s200/Personal+Safety+057.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370503691432914706" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WFblx2VNf8M/SofcpSupUfI/AAAAAAAAAN4/ssa_MbEQxeY/s1600-h/Personal+Safety+068.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WFblx2VNf8M/SofcpSupUfI/AAAAAAAAAN4/ssa_MbEQxeY/s200/Personal+Safety+068.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370503682622837234" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WFblx2VNf8M/Sofco72lgnI/AAAAAAAAANw/YIMC84dHgh0/s1600-h/Personal+Safety+053.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WFblx2VNf8M/Sofco72lgnI/AAAAAAAAANw/YIMC84dHgh0/s200/Personal+Safety+053.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370503676482126450" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WFblx2VNf8M/SofcoW7gbII/AAAAAAAAANo/TYjesGZfQsc/s1600-h/Personal+Safety+052.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WFblx2VNf8M/SofcoW7gbII/AAAAAAAAANo/TYjesGZfQsc/s200/Personal+Safety+052.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370503666570652802" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is great!!

Hope they will get something the next day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My husband asking me a question, why am i taking this programe, and i had been feeling great and energetic.

They function like receivers and transformers of the various forms of prana. Through the nadis, the chakras take in the vital energy and transform it into the frequencies needed by the various areas of the physical bodies for sustenance and development.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each chakra is connected with one of the elements of earth, water, air ether and mind - mind being an instrument of consciousness. These elements are states of matter and NOT elements as we understand them in modern chemistry. They are equivalent to the terms: solid, liquid, fiery or gaseous, airy, and etheric - which are somewhat analogous to the physical, astral and mental planes and sub-planes.&lt;br /&gt;Chakra is a Sanskrit word, meaning, "wheel." The human chakras are "wheel-like" vortices, or saucer-shaped depressions that exist on the surface of the etheric human body. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Traditional writings say there are 88,000 chakras in the human body. Most are extremely small and play a minor role in your energy system. However, there are approximately 40 secondary chakras that are of significance; these are located in your spleen, the back of your neck, the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet. But for brevity purposes, we will only explore the seven (7) primary chakras here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The seven Chakra are : Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus, Heart, Throat, 3rd Eye &amp; Crown.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the class we have been using some Kundalini Yoga method to clear the blockage of the chakra. It is an exciting evening we had… I strongly felt the energy of the class. The emotions was high and you all are really released and letting it all the way out. … there was a moment that everybody had been truly focus in the class and released out all their inner strength. When you all are tapping on the floor, I really felt the energy of the class, the sound and the strength you all released out. You all are  totally letting go and released your tensions, stress and emotions.

If you talk to radiologists and gastroenterologists who are looking at people's livers today they will tell you that the condition "Fatty Liver" affects more than 50% of people over the age of 50!(See Fatty Liver or more information)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Common causes often include; incorrect diet, excessive alcohol intake, adverse reactions to drugs and toxic chemicals, and viral hepatitis. Dr. Cabot believes it is because modern-day medicine has become sidetracked into treating the symptoms of diseases and not the causes. Excess weight is a symptom of liver dysfunction and not solely due to the number of calories you consume.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have been attacking the symptoms of weight excess with fad diets, obsessive high impact aerobics, stomach stapling and toxic drugs, such as appetite suppressants, laxatives and diuretics. We have failed to consider the underlying cause of LIVER DYSFUNCTION and indeed we have virtually ignored the hardest-working organ in the body, with dire consequences. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Sandra Cabot's books on the liver show us these consequences - not just weight problems, but a higher incidence of cardiovascular and degenerative diseases that are the leading causes of death in modern affluent societies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr Cabot received an email from a reader of her books and websites, who was alarmed by the large number of hormone implants being inserted into beef animals where she worked in a stock and station agency. Steers are implanted with Hormonal Growth Promotants (HGP) which is justified by corporate statements, that tests have shown that a non-pregnant woman produces 54,000 times the amount of estrogen found in a 17 oz steak and that only a fraction of the amount used in human hormone replacement therapy is used in the implants that are put into animals. This is all very well, however, it is still increasing the workload of the liver, which over a long period of time may cause hormonal imbalances in those who eat beef regularly. We must ask ourselves why is the incidence of breast cancer so high, particularly in relatively young women? Surely it is better to eat meat from animals that roam free and happy in fresh green pastures that are not injected with potent hormones or fed concentrated stock feed to rush their growth? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The use of drugs to control and treat animal disease and to promote faster, more efficient growth of livestock is a common practice. An estimated 80 percent of U.S. livestock and poultry receive some animal drugs during their lifetime. Improper use of animal drugs may cause residues in the edible tissues of slaughtered animals that could be hazardous to consumers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most countries will have set MRL or Maximum Residue Limits. This is the amount of pesticide residue, heavy metals, hormone residues and natural toxins that the food ( eggs, meat or milk) are allowed to have and still be sold to the public for consumption. The MRLs in Australia are set by the National Registration Authority for Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals. In the USA they are set by authorities under the Food and Drug Administration. The key point is, just because a food substance complies in relation to the MRL , does not mean that the food is free from ALL contamination - just that it is at, or under, the level set by the particular authority deemed to be safe. MRLs are often set on a national basis to meet the requirements of a particular country. However, pests and pest pressure can vary between countries, as can chemicals used and agronomic practices. The lists of MRL values applying in different countries can therefore be quite different. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is also the point that despite the existence of these laws, it does not guarantee that all farmers and growers comply 100% . Principle causes of excessive drug residues are failure to observe drug label withdrawal periods before slaughter or processing, or failure to withhold milk after dosing of herds with drugs such as the treatment of bovine mastitis with large doses of penicillin which requires a withholding period before the residues in milk are reduced to acceptable levels. Other causes may include failure to follow other drug label directions, poor feed manufacturing practices, and human negligence. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many chemicals (e.g., trace metals, industrial chemicals, and mycotoxins) that may be inadvertently present in animal tissues yet have no established safe concentrations. This of course does not mean that these substances are not harmful.&lt;br /&gt;It is a fact of life that pesticides, herbicides and hormones are used in food production. Although the regulatory levels set by authorities provide some control over residues - it is not the 'be all and end all'. The liver is again highlighted as vital, as it is the organ that metabolizes these substances and excretes them from the body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The liver is the gateway to the body and in this chemical age its detoxification systems are easily overloaded. Thousands of chemicals are added to food and over 700 have been identified in drinking water. Plants are sprayed with toxic chemicals, animals are injected with potent hormones and antibiotics and a significant amount of our food is genetically engineered, processed, refined, frozen and cooked. All this can lead to destruction of delicate vitamins and minerals, which are needed for the detoxification pathways in the liver. The liver must try to cope with every toxic chemical in our environment, as well as damaged fats that are present in processed and fried foods.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Liver Filter&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The liver is the cleanser and filter of the bloodstream and is of vital importance. It is the largest organ in the body and has an enormous amount of blood flowing through it every minute of our lives. It is between 8 - 9 inches in its greatest diameter, 5 - 6 inches in its greatest height and 3 - 4 inches in its depth, weighing around 42 to 56 ounces.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;A Normal Healthy Liver&lt;br /&gt;What are the functions of the liver?&lt;br /&gt;• It is responsible for the production of bile which is stored in the gallbladder and released when required for the digestion of fats. &lt;br /&gt;• The liver stores glucose in the form of glycogen which is converted back to glucose again when needed for energy. &lt;br /&gt;• It also plays an important role in the metabolism of protein and fats. It stores the vitamins A, D, K, B12 and folate and synthesizes blood clotting factors. &lt;br /&gt;• Another important role is as a detoxifier, breaking down or transforming substances like ammonia, metabolic waste, drugs, alcohol and chemicals, so that they can be excreted. These may also be referred to as "xenobiotic" chemicals. If we examine the liver under a microscope, we will see rows of liver cells separated by spaces which act like a filter or sieve, through which the bloodstream flows. The liver filter is designed to remove toxic matter such as dead cells, microorganisms, chemicals, drugs and particulate debris from the bloodstream. The liver filter is called the sinusoidal system, and contains specialized cells known as Kupffer cells which ingest and break down toxic matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* The above information is taken from http://www.liverdoctor.com/index.php?page=liver-detoxification is mainly for your reference.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1818619151439082794-5787175829058959480?l=yoga-plus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818619151439082794/posts/default/5787175829058959480'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818619151439082794/posts/default/5787175829058959480'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yoga-plus.blogspot.com/2009/06/liver-and-detoxification.html' title='THE LIVER AND DETOXIFICATION'/><author><name>Yoga Plus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07329243780823299681</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WFblx2VNf8M/S-WaofH7O_I/AAAAAAAAAQY/qW7MpgrS60c/S220/yogaplus-Marc+176.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818619151439082794.post-4906260562457663382</id><published>2009-06-01T01:02:00.013+08:00</published><updated>2009-08-16T18:27:30.100+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Detox Workshop'/><title type='text'>1 Day Liver Detox, Colon Cleansing Workshop</title><content type='html'>Date : 2 August 2009 (Sunday) &lt;br /&gt;Time : 8.30a.m. – 4.30p.m.&lt;br /&gt;                         &lt;br /&gt;a)1 day experience package&lt;br /&gt;  Promotions    : RM388&lt;br /&gt;  Member's Price: RM368&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;b) 1 day experience &amp; 30 days DIY package   &lt;br /&gt;  Promotions     : RM688&lt;br /&gt;  Member's Price : RM668&lt;br /&gt;* Register in Pair at Member’s price (per pax)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Package Include: -&lt;br /&gt;27 June 09 (9.00 – 11.30a.m.)&lt;br /&gt;1 Pranayama Yoga &lt;br /&gt;1 session of “You Are What You Eat” (Yogic&amp; Healthy Food) Briefing&lt;br /&gt;Food Preparation  + Vegetarian Lunch&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;28 June 09 (8.30 – 4.30am)&lt;br /&gt;- Whole day juicing programe&lt;br /&gt;- Acupressure massage and Yoga Session &lt;br /&gt;- Omi Directional Psychic Communication Session    &lt;br /&gt;  (Body, Mind &amp; Soul Connections)&lt;br /&gt;- Energy Level Test&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plus&lt;br /&gt;Organic Juice (3 days supplies)                                    &lt;br /&gt;Probio Plus   (3 days supplies)                            &lt;br /&gt;Cold Press Organic Olive Oil                     LemonJuice                                       &lt;br /&gt;1 Energy Mug (imported from Japan)&lt;br /&gt;1 Yogic and healthy food &lt;br /&gt;2 Rejuvenate Yoga Class (to be utilized within 1 mth from date of workshop)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Package B’s Programe Include: -&lt;br /&gt;- All the above except,&lt;br /&gt;- juicing programe is for 30 days supply.&lt;br /&gt;- 4 Rejuvenate Yoga Class (to be utilized within 1 mth from date of workshop)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please be informed that the Detoxing programe will be conducted on monthly basis.

Therefore pranayama conveys the art of controlling and lengthening the breath.

People expect lots of variation, stunning poses every class but with no strength and foundation. They abort Pranayama (Methods to Breath)– the most important part in a Yoga session; just because it is very “boring”..&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;I was once suspicious of my own ability and the competency . Have been very down with this matter for quite some time. Most of the people have misunderstood the real purpose of yoga now. They have the idea that they should do more advance poses like headstand, handstand , wheel… etc….  after they had attended the class for a few months. They expect to have diffent poses every class they came. If you don teach, they feel that you are unable to accommodate their request, you are not capable and its not attractive. But 1st of all, do they know that, they dont have the muscles strength and flexibility to accomodate some poses. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everytime, I make them do something similar like Sun Salutation to build their stength and flexibility, some breathing and asking them to be patience for themself. Encourage them to practice more frequent. Do I need to set up the “right expectation for the members for this situation?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;So!!  here come the compassion, patience, understanding and maturity of a Yoga Teacher to walk the way thru…&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A moment thinking thru and i realised my response is my choice, my attempt to do things does not make me feel that I am better than someone else but, it help me to build my business in a way that is more satisfying for myself and be proud cos I practice Yama and Niyama while I’m teaching and sharing the Yoga experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was pleased and appreciate that still have some “fans” that do agreed with me and were happy and  glad to see their improvement physically, emotionally and the courage to face live changes…. Keeping up guys, you know who you are.  And also prove that, the method is safe and results rpoven. They can come to Virabradasana 3, Bakasana easily  and be proud of themselves. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So everywhere offer the best, treat disagreement of some and I respect to all decision made and shared. And also accept someone else that have a different perspective. That’s no “right” or “wrong” answer. This is my path, and making ways for various possibilities to work through and thank you from the bottom of my heart for walking with me.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1818619151439082794-59126144050311638?l=yoga-plus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818619151439082794/posts/default/59126144050311638'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818619151439082794/posts/default/59126144050311638'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yoga-plus.blogspot.com/2008/12/my-feeling-in-yoga-teaching.html' title='My Feeling In Yoga Teaching'/><author><name>Yoga Plus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07329243780823299681</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WFblx2VNf8M/S-WaofH7O_I/AAAAAAAAAQY/qW7MpgrS60c/S220/yogaplus-Marc+176.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818619151439082794.post-5892507596839341208</id><published>2008-11-10T14:40:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2008-11-10T14:45:27.845+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pilates'/><title type='text'>Pilates Mat Level 1</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WFblx2VNf8M/SRfYcNoMR4I/AAAAAAAAAJg/46ss4Ztgiiw/s1600-h/DSCN1942.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WFblx2VNf8M/SRfYcNoMR4I/AAAAAAAAAJg/46ss4Ztgiiw/s320/DSCN1942.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266916268439259010" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We will be using the mini ball as the tool .

By utilizing a mini stability ball, the exercise was easier to perform correctly and attained a maximum benefits. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For people are lordordic and khypotic. It is great to assist in stabilizing their spine conditions and correct posture. Pilates also great for strengthening abdominals and body toning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Participants are to have self assessment from our appointed physiotherapist on their body conditions prior commencing of the class.

A successful Yoga Teacher must communicate with all students throughout the class and keep the passion for Yoga going.” – I strongly agree with that .&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found out that, Yoga Teacher now  had been practicing in a diverse ways of what should an Yoga Teacher be from the (Yoga Sutrra) 5 Yamas : Ahimsa – to avoid violence, harming. Which inclusive of injuring ourselves or others in any way. Satya – to be true and honest; Asteya – avoid stealing in any way; Bramacharya -  to be free in sensual imprisonment and to live in moderation  ; Aparigraha -  to be free from greed, wanting, hoarding and avoid being selfish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These principles are no longer being aware and adopt by Yoga Teachers now a days. Teachers are condemning each other in getting popularity; teach whatever is not know by himself ; attending class today in a center or gym and teaching the same sequence of asanas at another places ???? and some even don’t know how to demonstrate a correct alignment and adjustment, the safety of the student.… Why can it be happened ??’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just because learning Yoga is a TREND, In things, Oh!! The happening. You did, I did… ; aiming to have a better shape for body (yes, true everybody does)… . How many have forget about the meaning of Yoga – an unity of mind, body and soul. It for the whole body inside out.   That’s the reason create for a demand for Yoga Teachers…. Centers start to recruit teachers, its good to have some side income too. That’s why pop out teachers  that physically fit to perform all poses (asanas) , good flexibility but with no passion to Yoga. The key ingredients for Yoga has been discounted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is my personal view on Yoga trend today as a person that practicing Yoga and treating it as life-long knowledge journey and NOT as the owner of  the Yoga center.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is also not meant to disrespect to Yoga Teachers but is a feeling that Yoga Teachers now lack of passion in Yoga and should be more practice the ethical principles of Yamas and Niyamas.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Please post your comments and views about your experience with your yoga teachers, myself or others (pls don mentioned the name).   &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Namaste.&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1818619151439082794-3862668773288151768?l=yoga-plus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818619151439082794/posts/default/3862668773288151768'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818619151439082794/posts/default/3862668773288151768'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yoga-plus.blogspot.com/2008/10/what-is-yoga-teacher-should-know.html' title='&lt;strong&gt;What Is A Yoga Teacher Should Know&lt;/strong&gt;'/><author><name>Yoga Plus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07329243780823299681</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WFblx2VNf8M/S-WaofH7O_I/AAAAAAAAAQY/qW7MpgrS60c/S220/yogaplus-Marc+176.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818619151439082794.post-3433724517506261621</id><published>2008-07-27T12:44:00.006+08:00</published><updated>2008-08-08T10:57:18.420+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Yoga For Men'/><title type='text'>New Class For Wira</title><content type='html'>Suprisingly, the men class progress very well.

Here are some of the pictures. Can you recognsied anyone of them? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This posture may look like imposing to those who haven’t attempted it. Nevertheless, it is an extremely powerful asana. It is called the "king of asanas" because of its overall effect on the whole body. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Benefits&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Calms the brain and helps relieve stress and mild depression &lt;br /&gt;*Stimulates the pituitary and pineal glands &lt;br /&gt;*Strengthens the arms, legs, and spine &lt;br /&gt;*Strengthens the lungs &lt;br /&gt;*Tones the abdominal organs &lt;br /&gt;*Improves digestion &lt;br /&gt;*Helps relieve the symptoms of menopause &lt;br /&gt;*Therapeutic for asthma, infertility, insomnia, and sinusitis&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Contraindications and Cautions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Back injury, Headache,Heart condition,High blood pressure,Menstruation,Neck injury &lt;br /&gt;*Low blood pressure: Don't start practice with this pose &lt;br /&gt;*Pregnancy: If you are experienced with this pose, you can continue to practice it late into pregnancy. However, don't take up the practice of Sirsasana after you become pregnant. &lt;br /&gt;*Sirsasana is considered to be an intermediate to advanced pose. Do not perform this pose without sufficient prior experience or unless you have the supervision of an experienced teacher. Some schools of yoga recommend doing Sirsasana before Sarvangasana, others vice versa. The instruction here assumes the former order. &lt;br /&gt;Beginner's Tip&lt;br /&gt;Beginners tend to take too much weight onto the neck and head when coming into and exiting this pose, a potentially harmful situation. Prepare to do this pose as described above against a wall. To come up, set your arms in place and lift your head slightly off the floor. Move into the wall-supported position with the head off the floor, then lower it lightly onto the floor. Support 90 to 95 percent of your weight on your shoulders and arms, even if it means staying for only a few seconds. Gradually, over time, take more and more weight onto your head, but proceed slowly. Similarly, when you exit this pose, first lift your head off the floor, then bring your feet down.
