HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT YOGA FOR YOU




If you are looking for a yoga class, but can’t find one that you like, or you want to try a yoga class but don’t know where to start?

I’m going to help you get off on the right foot.

There are many yoga classes out there that all have different approaches which is great for you, because you can find the one that suites you needs.

Yoga classes can cater to personality, athletics needs and even injuries.

Here are a few suggestions to help you find the right yoga class for you.

Type A Person – someone who is highly competitive aggressive and have difficulty relaxing then, you might try an Ashtanga or hot yoga class like Moksha or Bikram. You will know what to expect.

Type B Person – someone who is more relaxed, disengaged, you may try Hatha, Iyengar, Kundalini which focus slow stretches

As you can see this is just a start but there are different classes for different people, you just have to start attending some classes to experiment to find the one that suits you.

THE BENEFITS OF HIP OPENING EXERCISES



Making sure your hips are open & well stretched can lead to better walking & running. Your hips are one of the largest joints in your body.


Not only are your hips at the base of your spine but the hip joint controls movements in your thigh bone (femur) which means that at times when you experience knee problems, they can be caused by a lack of openness at the hip joint.

Bottom line – incorporate some hip opening moves into your stretching as a preventative measure.

Hip opening exercises can include:

A cobbler’s pose where you sit on the floor with your feet touching, back straight, knees splayed outward.



or even a simple squat where your feet are shoulder-width part and you almost sit down so that your butt is very close to the ground with your hands together in a prayer position and your elbows and your arms are pushing your knees further apart.




These simple exercises can help you to open your hip joint and help you maintaining your healthy lifestyle.

Want To Inject New Life Into Your Workout?


Take a break! Yes that’s right. Give yourself a one-week holiday from your workout routine. It’ll make you enjoy your workouts that much more when you return to your routine. While you’re off for the week, think of a new activity that you can incorporate into your schedule.

It will give you a new goal to work toward. When I give myself the one-week-workout-holiday, it reinvigorates my workouts and allows me to work harder when I return. Try the one-week workout break every 3 to 4 months.

REDUCE THE RISK OF ANXIETY

WANT TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ANXIETY, DIABETES, HEART ATTACKS & FLUCTUATIONS IN YOUR METABOLISM AS YOU AGE?



Just breathe more effectively to reduce your stress levels.

Making exercise a part of your life can help to reduce your risk to serious illness. The meditative breathing skills taught during a yoga class are a great way to learn how you can incorporate these breathing techniques in & out of the class.

Learning to take slow gradual breaths can help to reduce the constant stress that your body is under. A little concentrated breathing can help make great strides towards improving your overall health. Make time for a yoga class in your routine.

FUNKY YOGA WEAR

These clothes are awesome..I like getting into them and not fighting with the stretch yet they conform to my body perfectly!!! I definitely want more!!!
Amanda Lynn Mayhew - Model/Creator of Fytness Fanatik


Margarita Wear
The other day, I was walking through the Beaches, and spot two young ladies, strutting their fit bodies down the street, with yoga mats in hand; but there was something different about these two.
Their attitude was free-spirited and the yoga wear was crazy FUNKY. I had find out what was going on.


I asked them where they got the yoga pants, thinking they were part of the leading yoga company’s line of clothing. Their response in unison was surprising “It’s Margarita Wear, we got it at Tanning Escape in the Beaches” and off they went.

Anna Christensen, owner of the Tanning Escape at 2076 Queen Street East in the Beaches and an avid yogi herself, brought the line into her store as way to offer her clients activewear that allows them to express their individualism through the variety vibrant colours and unique designs, yet not give up the comfort and durability one needs.


Personally I think this look is awesome. It’s a different look and still gives ladies the curves that they want and that men admire.
Margarita concentrates on producing small quantities of any given design, maintaining originality and combining style, comfort and a bit of sensuality. These clothes certainly make a strong fashion statement while using the highest quality fabric with performance in mind. Margarita is for both the serious and casual athlete who value looking their best


Fabrics used are specified to Supplex Type AA, which besides giving comfort while exercising, facilitates the skin's natural breathing process. This fabric holds its shape, even through multiple washings. Even better, it won’t wrinkle, shrink or fade, so it will stay new looking for a very long time. Also, it will never fuzz or pill.

So if you are in the Beaches or want to get more info on viewing and purchasing Margarita, contact Anna at the Tanning Escape 2076 Queen St E –Toronto T: 416-698-0765 and she will guide you to beauty, Anna will also be displaying a variety of Margarita products during the Beaches Jazz Festival

I’m going to leave you with a quote from their website; I feel it says it all.

Margarita means top quality, functional and attractive activewear. It looks and feels so great and has such a flattering fit, you’ll never want to wear anything else! Margarita makes every ASS look great!
