scorpion

Ta da!!!

This is the elusive scorpion posture.  Benefits of this posture include pride and healthy ego.  It is also useful to draw attention at parties and to help get a job at the circus.

Teeth Yoga

Happy Teeth

I never payed much attention to the importance of flossing teeth until recently.  I mean c'mon!  How much food really gets caught in there? 

Regardless of how much food gets caught in your teeth the gum stimulation provided by flossing is golden.  Much of yoga is about awareness.  Flossing I find brings great awareness to the mouth.  Last year I bought floss at Costco!  I was so excited I kept telling everyone how I had enough floss for the rest of my life.  I kept a pack in my car, one in my gym bag, one on the night stand, and of course, one in the bathroom.  So much fun!

ha ha that is a common reaction.

This is actually very beautiful

Here is me doing ancient stomach cleansing ritual.  This is known as Uddiyana-banda.  In order to do this one is recommended to practice holding the breath after full exhalation first.  Once you are comfortable with retaining an exhale you should breath out all oxygen then with breath held make like you are trying to breath in while keeping the throat closed so that no air can come in.  This will create pressure and draw abdominal organs up into your ribcage.

This is very therapeutic and cleansing.  As with all things it gets better with practice.  You may only feel slight pressure at first but soon you will develop great abdominal strength and flexibility.
