Tai Chi for Osteoporosis

Studies have shown that Tai Chi and Qi Gong can help relieve stress and raise estrogen levels in women.  Both those studies were significant because stress and decreased levels of estrogen can affect bone health.  Studies have also shown that Tai Chi and qi Gong are helpful in slowing bone loss and increasing bone density without the use of weights.  Join Kim Kersbergen for a healing 4 week intensive.

Yoga Philosophy Theme of the Week

Shaucha

We now begin to explore the five Niyamas, which are constructive tools for the inner work that gives rise to the ability to really put spirituality into practice in our daily lives.

Shaucha means "purification; cleanliness".  It includes a number of techniques for cleansing the body as well as the mind, and it has even been called the aim of the entire system of yoga.  The sages say that shaucha is not only the foundation for bodily health, it is also the doorway to deeper and more tranquil states of meditation.

Practice tip:  Select wisely from the many choices of food, emotions, and thoughts waiting to come into your body and mind.  As the body becomes purified you will experience radiant health;  as the mind becomes purified, you will feel increasingly clear, friendly and cheerful.
