- Towards Collective Harmony
By: kishorehari | - One percent of the population practicing the Transcendental Meditation would produce measurable improvements in the quality of life for the whole population.
Such was boldly predicted by Maharishi Yogi in 1960. However, this phenomenon was first noticed in 1974 and published in 1976. It was found that when 1% of the community practiced the Transcendental Meditation program, then the average crime rate came down by an average of 16%. This phenomenon was named the Maharishi Effect then. Late ...

- Moksha According To Yogic Philosophies
By: Dee Braun | - Moksha is a term used in many Indian religions. Someone who is thought to experience Moksha is absolved of the suffering and constant rebirth (reincarnation) that life brings. Constantly going through life and death is not considered to be a good thing according to many religious Indian people.
In Hinduism, Moksha cannot be obtained until one reaches a state of full self realization. A Hindu is likely to practice at least one form of Yoga. They also realize that God shows up in ma ...

- Yoga For Self-discovery - The Discipline Of Yoga
By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - When we consider the word "discipline," we might think of the military or harsh training. Yoga may not come to mind, when considering the many faces of discipline. Yet, Yoga is a genuine discipline, which has evolved for thousands of years, and it qualifies this description for two reasons.
1. Yoga is an immense branch of knowledge.
2. Yoga will develop positive behavior through instruction and practice - especially in the art of training one's mind.

- Teachings Of Yoga And The Fear Of Success
By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - If one is in search of spiritual enlightenment, should he or she avoid success in all other matters? How many Yoga practitioners think that success is a bad thing? Abundance, success, and achievement are shunned by many Gurus. There is a logical reason for this, but there is also a drawback for all of humankind.
One of many reasons, for embracing poverty, is to practice Aparigraha (non- possessiveness). Yet, those who tell others to enjoy poverty, give this advice to keep greed "i ...

By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - Among the members of many noble causes, you will find Yogis and Yoginis. Causes such as: Charities for curing diseases, world peace, and saving the natural environment are filled with Hatha Yoga practitioners. While it is true that these people are performing Karma Yoga, what is it that draws them toward giving to others?

- Yoga For Self-discovery - Finding Your Inner Child
By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - In Yoga, self-discovery is the quest for truth, which begins within each of us. If we manage to avoid the pitfalls of self-pity, we often seek solutions outside of our being. A good example of this is when we try to change others, and when others try to change us.
How will Yoga help you find your inner child? The two words "inner" and "child," when combined, take on an identity of their own. Someone may think of a situation comedy, while another person may think of counseling sess ...

By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - On a worldwide scale, many people practice Hatha Yoga daily to compensate for chronic stress.

- The Purpose Of Yoga - Is The Path Toward Prosperity Un-yogic?
By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - Since the humble beginnings of humankind, we have prayed for prosperity, abundance, and happiness. Why have so many Yoga teachers scorned the path of prosperity? Many people equate prosperity with material possessions. Too much material abundance has created the desire for more and more possessions.
Consider these words by the Buddha: "To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one's own in the midst of abundance." The clear problem with material prosperity is greed ...

- Chair Yoga And The Mobility Of Seniors
By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - Chair Yoga classes make a definite change in the stride or gait of seniors. The shortening of our stride can have a negative effect on self-confidence. Yoga gives seniors an opportunity to naturally lengthen each stride. In turn, the increased mobility enhances self-confidence and independence.
You might think that walking would give seniors the required mobility needed to live a quality life. Walking is great therapy for the cardiovascular system and it settles the mind. I have m ...

- Teaching Hatha Yoga - Contraindications For Inversions
By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - What is an inverted posture, or an inversion, in a Hatha Yoga class? Technically, any posture (asana), in which the head is below the heart, is an inversion. Whether you stand on your head, bend forward, or bend back, if the head is below the heart, you are performing an inversion.
This also means that Downward Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana) and Fish (Matsyasana) are also inversions - although both postures are mild in comparison to Head Stand (Sirsasana). If you bend back far enough ...

By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - There seems to be no single text that lists the contraindications for each Yoga technique; the reason being - the monumental task of listing, categorizing, and matching up each technique, with a corresponding contraindication, would be a feat that would take years to complete. Therefore, let's look at techniques, in groups, and match them to corresponding advice.

By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - Is becoming a contortionist the primary objective of Yoga? Is advanced Yoga performing nearly impossible poses for the applause of crowds? Is an expert Yoga practitioner an example of good health or just another "health nut?"
There seems to be some conflicting ideas about what a beginner, or an advanced Yoga practitioner, are. In all forms of Yoga, energy within the body is channeled for maximum potential. Many types of Yoga focus on mental, emotional, and spiritual growth. The ph ...

By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - Yoga has been around for centuries. The birthplace of Yoga is the Indus River Valley, of India, and its history started 5,000 years ago. Yoga continued to evolve and grow in popularity, before Alexander the Great was born. Ancient Yogis of the past have left us documentation, philosophy, ethics, and a health maintenance system that continues to evolve to this day.
Family physicians, professional medical specialists, and chiropractors often recommend Yoga to their patients for many ...

By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - How has Yoga kept surviving for thousands of years? Yoga has survived gluttony and poverty. Some people question everything they do, when an economy turns tough. Yet, people will still pursue their vices in the worst of times.
It is no secret that many people do not practice preventative health, whether the economy is good or bad. Yet, it is clear to see that people will spend discretionary income on bad habits, even when money is scarce. Why? The public has a difficult time compr ...

- Yoga, Tolerance, And The New World Order
By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - Yoga's philosophy is based upon peace and the end of suffering. Each time a world leader has stood up to give this same message of world peace, he or she is shouted down. Yet, we must ask - "Has the world changed overnight?" Will Barack Obama "become the change we wish to see?"
Throughout history, intolerance has caused many set backs for humanity. Humankind's history is a track record of blood lust, based on close-minded beliefs about different ideas. Unfortunately, fundamentalis ...

By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - One of the most common questions Yoga teachers answer is about the healing aspects of regular practice. As we become more aware of our health, we would like to capture wellness and hold onto it for as long as possible. This is not only an indication of self-awareness, but also a sign of intelligence.
Unfortunately, some of us will abuse our bodies in one way or another, but Hatha Yoga gives us a path toward the best possible health. The asanas (yoga postures) create movements, whi ...

By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - If you listen closely, you will hear people misuse terms related to Yoga because of lack of knowledge or by bending and twisting a definition to suit their needs. An example of this would be when a student claims a teacher who charges for classes does not have a "Yogic attitude."

Yoga has been called a Hindu discipline, an exercise, a science of life, a self-improvement system, a gateway to God, and many more explanations.
There are some who will argue that Yoga is all of these things or none of these things. Is Yoga good or evil? If you look at the foundation of Yoga, it is Yama and Niyama. There is no evil in moral codes ...

By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - Inversions, such as headstand (Sirsasana) and shoulder stand (Sarvangasana), are often considered "royal" poses by Hatha Yoga practitioners. Some students and teachers consider inversions to be of the utmost importance in their personal Hatha Yoga practice.
While there are many benefits from inversions, students with pre-existing medical conditions, are put at risk unnecessarily. When we have no health problems, it is easy to put issues of risk and contraindications aside, but Yog ...

By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - The general concept of Hatha Yoga is a mind and body exercise, but that barely skims the surface as to what Hatha, or any other form of Yoga, is. Now we hear of Yoga for ripped abs, growing taller, stress relief, back pain, and raising children. Is it all a marketing ploy, or can it do all of these things?
Truthfully, ripped abs will require more than Yoga, but you can reduce and manage your weight. If you have tried losing weight before, you know about false promises. You know th ...

Some styles, such as Iyengar, Restorative, Anusara, and Viniyoga, place much emphasis on proper alignment, props, and physical assisting. Most Yoga teacher training programs focus on physical assists, which guide a student toward proper alignment.
