Stretching out tight hips are very beneficial for the body. We tend to hold a lot of emotion and stress in our hips-the seat of our emotions. By breathing and creating space in our hips can help the lower back and posture. In yoga, hip openers loosen the hip socket to improve the range of motion. This helps with body’s circulation and alleviating back pain. If you sit on a desk all day, pregnant, or in general just have tight hips. Using specific hip opener poses will be beneficial.  When the hip flexors become to tight, this can affect the ability to maintain a proper posture-stability in our spine. -NYV107A

(All Levels)Yoga can be a very useful tool in alleviating PMS and cramps. Many women suffer from very painful periods and others it can be very bothersome. For me personally, it varies month by month. Some months being very painful. A heating pad and walking can be very helpful for cramps. If the pain is excruciating and debilitating, then seek a doctor for proper care. Yoga can just be a helpful tool. It helps release endorphins which we all know help better your mood.  It can also calm the nervous system and increase oxygenated blood to your reproductive organs. And lastly, it eases stress and discomfort by encouraging relaxation. PMS does not always have to set you back. It can be a process to get yourself moving but once done, you will feel more balanced and more on track. Your body and mind will thank you. -NYV0101B

Restorative yoga can be very useful for a better nights sleep. This can be done in the comforts of your own home and even on the bed! Our brains often have a hard time shutting off and we lay awake at night. Then the next day is ruined with the lack of sleep.

Today’s focus is balance. We struggle in finding balance in our daily lives. Finding that strength but suppleness. This can be incorporated into yoga. This is a great easy flow and demo on how to get into simple balance poses for beginners. As you come across your yoga practice, you will find that teachers will incorporate poses to help you focus on your balance. Balancing is more then just standing on one foot, but it can relieve stress and help with your focus. It is all about finding your ground, lightening, and using your core. It may be tough in the beginning, and if you fall, it is ok. Just get back up. We all fall and we all make mistakes. It can be a strange sensation, almost as if your relearning how to stand or ride a bike. Remember to always breath in the asanas, including the balance poses. Always, work from the ground up. Getting your bearings finding your weight and using the length to stand tall and your core to keep yourself center. But once your have practiced, your sense of focus and strength with be so much more powerful. -NYV0104B

Having a strong core is the center of all basic exercises. No matter what activity you choose, having a strong core is a must. Your core is what connects and stabilize your body. In yoga and working on core strength this allows your body to build lean muscles and to organize your body to hold and move by using your own weight. Breath work and certain yoga poses will build strength that allows yourself to engage not just your “6 pack muscles” but all of your abdominal muscles. Having a strong core can help also alleviate certain aches and pains such as your lower back. Many of us have what we call a “banana back” a swayed back this happens when we have no core strength or do not know how to engage the muscles to help take the pressure on certain parts of our body like the lower back, creating pain. -NYV0101A
