Yoga thought for your Thursday...


So a friend of mine shared this photo on facebook.  It gave me an idea for a quick post...

Many of you may know that there is a great deal of health research into yoga these days, and they have confirmed some of the health benefits the Yoga folks have long purported (funny, that, huh?  Just don't think that means that you should try everything you see- not all poses are right for everyone!)

One of the things we do know?  That rounding and expanding postures, such as those being done by the kitty buddies in this photo here, are good for healthy breathing and stress reduction.Feeling a little stressed?  Folding forward, balanced by lengthening (as opposed to arching) the spine, might just make ya feel a bit better!  And take a relaxation break after your exercise break.  And smile! 

Hugs to you all!
