Does meditation and yoga really make a difference?

in the quality of life – physical and mental. i’m all for natural stuff but im not for wasting my time.

There are several types of yoga, but people usually mean hatha yoga – yoga of the body – when they say yoga. So I will assume you mean that.
The various exercises in yoga are designed to enhance the flow of life support mechanisms around the body. In yoga it is called prana, and this is what provides our health and vitality. A yoga practitioner develops a very strong immune system, and is therefor less likely to succumb to illness. Additionally, the body becomes more supple, and stronger, and is less likely to suffer from aches and pains form sprains and twists.

Meditation is like a yoga of the mind.
Once we have learned to concentrate our minds on one thing, and can control the mind instead of the mind controlling us, then we begin to go ever deeper inward, and discover exactly what it is that makes us tick. We discover why we think the way we do, and also where there is false logic in our belief system. We discover that much of our life has been based on fallacious assumptions, and as a result our belief system gradually changes, advancing one stage at a time, until we are a more spiritually advanced and better person than before.

There is no chance of you wasting your time.

for Bikram yoga do I need to buy a skidless yoga mat?

I’m noticing skidless mats and skidless towels sold on the internet – I guess they’re similar but not exactly the same. Please comment if you know alot about Bikram. I’m thinking of starting because a major Bikram studio is right across the street from where I live. In other words, I’m a true beginner, a total noob. Thanks.

Hi, you don’t need a skidless mat to practice Bikram yoga.

Postpartum exercise, is it to soon to do some beginner yoga poses….?

I am three weeks post partum and really need to start exercising as a way to help my own body image issues. I have a history of eating disorders and am feeling quite down on myself image wise. I do not want to do anything extra strenuous and risk causing harm to myself, but I do need to start some type of exercise regimen to get myself geared up for the heavy stuff after I have my doctors ok.

I have a beginners yoga DVD and am planning on starting a nightly walking routine with my dog. I have three weeks till my checkup. After that its back to the gym for Pilates, aerobics and weight training.

Do you have any suggestions for light exercise routines that will help me get back into the groove of working out?

You can start exercising at 2 weeks pp. That is what my doctor said… He also said dont over do it though…

I am also wanting to tell you that you just had a baby and not all people go straight down to pre-pregnancy. You have a lot to worry about now being a mom, and you need to find yourself so you can respect what you look like. I had a very low self image so I know what you mean. Another thing is women tend to get depressed after baby so be careful..

I wish you luck and CONGRATULATIONS!!!
