Yoga gymnastics“Breathe in… breathe out….” is something one might hear in a Yoga studio as participants focus their mind while their muscles are stretching and bodies relaxing. Yoga, after all, is an exercise designed to bring “the body and mind into one harmonious experience,” according to the American Yoga Association.
Becky Lang, professor of health and physical education, said, “Yoga is a great low-impact workout and it’s a lot harder than people think it is because it’s slow, sustained muscle work, as well as relaxation.”

Lang said Yoga focuses on the body with muscle strengthening, endurance and flexibility; and the mind with breathing and relaxation.
Jenny Prindle, health promotion senior, said, “I think it is really good for stress relief. It helps clear your mind and makes you in the moment. You don’t think about everything else, which helps you to focus.”

Prindle got her start in Yoga seven years ago while in high school as part of an experimental gym class. After an instructor came to her school, Prindle attended some of the instructor’s classes and then eventually purchased videos to use at home. Prindle hopes to get certified to teach Yoga in April or May.
Nicole Wells, health promotion junior, teaches Yoga to Grand View’s dance team and introduces it to the Lifetime Fitness and Wellness class (HPED 205).

Wells said her favorite part of doing Yoga is the calm feeling afterward and knowing she got a great workout, too.
Wells said, “It’s just something that I love to do when I am stressed out because I know I’ll come back a relaxed and better person because of it.”
Wells also said Yoga can also help tone the abdominals, triceps, biceps, quadriceps and hamstrings.

“Who doesn’t want a better looking stomach?” Wells asked.

Lang said people often comment they have never felt so relaxed after doing yoga in her HPED 205 class. Although the majority of men, according to Lang, have a difficult time with Yoga because they don’t stretch as well, Lang encourages them to keep doing it.
“We really need to remember that the body needs recharging,” Lang said.

“Whether it’s the immune system that needs to get stronger, or our mind, we just need to stop.”
“Sometimes we’re so busy we kind of end up going in circles,” Lang said. “You get in a little tizzy and you’re running on adrenaline. We can do that short term, but long term the body breaks down.”

Lang, Prindle and Wells all recommended joining a class to get the Yoga basics and to avoid injury.
Revive Yoga, at 434 ½ East Locust Street in downtown’s East Village, offers the first class free. Revive’s owner, Gretta Jensen, has been teaching Yoga for seven years and is certified in Vines Power Yoga.
Lang said DVDs are available from certified, quality individuals but to keep in mind the purpose for the exercise. Lang said athletes would want to find videos geared toward sports-performance and people looking for a workout would want to find videos geared for muscle training.

Yoga can be practiced anywhere. Eventually, Lang said, people can get to the point where they find a few favorite poses and do them wherever.

Emotional healthA study by Ernest Abel of Wayne State University in Michigan shows that smile last longer and if the smile is so intense that creates crow’s feet, the better.

“To the extent that the intensity of the smile reflects an underlying emotional disposition, the results of this study are consistent with other studies showing that emotions have a relationship with mental health, physical health and longevity” indicated.

For the study, a team led by Ernest Abel of Wayne State University in Michigan took 230 photographs of players from Major League baseball that started playing before 1950.

The players were classified as ‘no smile’ if looked impassively at the camera, like ‘partial smile’ if your smile involving only the muscles around the mouth, or as a ‘full smile’ if the mouth, eyes and cheeks were involved in gesture.

The photos of the players were taken from the 1952 record of Major League Baseball (USA Championship, MLB), a professional full list of statistics such as birth year, body mass index, marital status and duration of the race, an indicator of fitness. By being as complete statistics, the researchers could verify other factors that could affect longevity.

Of the players who died on 1 June 2009, the category of ‘no smile’ lived an average of 72.9 years, those with ‘partial smile‘ died at age 75, while those of ‘full smile’ lived an average of 79.9 years, according to the study.

Although it is unclear if the players had smiled spontaneously or if their smiles were at the request of photographer, the researchers concluded that even if he smiles at the request, the intensity of the smile reflects the “underlying general provision” of the individual.

Stress eliminateThroughout our lives each and every one of us goes through times of depression, stress, illness, failure, loneliness … nobody is safe from suffering. When we are in an adverse situation, we tend to feel small, vulnerable and pity ourselves. At the same time this suffering puts us in extreme situations and we get to make believe that we can not handle more, but not too long residence will be strengthened, as we used to become stronger mentally to prove to ourselves that we can overcome the adversity and overcome old fears that we have acquired in the past.

In situations of pain and suffering human being can say that has three methods to address them. There are people who are faced with an attitude of serenity and patience, that after a period of assimilation make it to get some positive attitude to face problems so we can overcome them. There is the side that is rejected, we do not admit what is happening to ourselves into believing that if we ignore the bad go away, this attitude leads to aggravate the situation, because by ignoring the problem will not disappear. And the worst option despair, this attitude brings us to our self-destruction, to accelerate and worsen our suffering or pain, is a state in which the entire negative we see no way out and not dazzle becomes our obsession with turning everything around our pain.

Suffering leads to mature, to realize that everything has an end and that our lives too, is when we learn to appreciate what you have, prioritizing what really matters and also learning to be more understanding and generous with others.

He always speaks of health as something physical but we can not forget our mental health as it is of vital importance to humans, a healthy mind and ready we will succeed in life.
