			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ages ago the Vedic sages invented an art as well as philosophy of balancing human mind, body and soul. This art cum philosophy is known as yoga. The word yoga was derived from a Sanskrit word &#8216;yuj&#8217; which means to unite, to bind or to join. It is helpful in many ways for the human kind like it ensures physical fitness as well as mental balance. Yoga   has the magical power of warding off all kind of tensions and worries from the mind thus making it calm and relaxed. Yoga practiced with <strong><a title="yoga music" href="http://www.spiritvoyage.com/">yoga music</a></strong> promises the best possible result as the healing tunes of  the spiritual music fill up the soul with divine tranquility. <strong><a title="Meditation music" href="http://www.spiritvoyage.com/">Meditation music</a></strong> also has the same effect on human mind.

Various components of yoga can boost overall body and brain function. The three basic components of yoga, Asanas or the physical poses, Pranayama or the breathing exercises and meditation, are beneficial for human brain. Daily practicing of asanas results in uninterrupted oxygen and blood supply to brain. Thus it nourishes the brain cells which in turn increases the memory capacity. The inverted postures are of great aid in this prospect. Breathing exercises help an individual to control his mind. Pranayamas boost oxygen supply to the brain which ensures better performance of brain. And by practicing meditation one can control his thoughts and mind power.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright" src="http://www.spiritvoyage.com/blog/headerimages/haiti.gif" alt="Haiti" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In the aftermath of the catastrophic earthquake in Haiti, many in the yoga community have united in an effort to help suffering victims. Yoga studios, instructors, and students alike have been eager to support relief efforts.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Many yoga studios across the US have been donating their class fees to Haitian relief funds. Instructors like Allison Conroy and John Tai of <a href="http://www.urbanfitnessmovement.com/SolutionsYogaHaiti.htm">Urban Fitness Movement</a> are holding classes on specific days of the week for the next few months with all money paid to be donated to the Red Cross Haiti Relief Operation. Rajashree Choudhury, wife of noted Bikram Yoga founder Bikram Choudry, recently held a Haiti Relief Fundraiser at Bikram Yoga Headquarters in Los Angeles. The grand total for the hour and a half class was $15,000 with all proceeds being donated directly to Haiti. Yogis Anonymous, another well known Yoga Studio in California, held their yearly fundraiser for <a href="http://www.yogagivesback.org/">Yoga Gives Back</a>, an organization dedicated to providing micro-financing for India. This year, however, the organization&#8217;s fund-raising efforts will be forwarded to aid initiatives in Haiti.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Other studios are providing donations beyond monetary means. For instance, Pad Yoga Studio in California recently caused quite the commotion after their sign requesting donations of yoga mats for Haiti was photographed and leaked online. The <a href="http://www.yogadork.com/2010/02/09/yoga-mats-for-haiti-breeds-controversy-bad-karma/">picture</a> spread like wildfire across the internet. The notion seemed ridiculous. However, it was later clarified that the mats were being donated as a means of providing bedding for victims, a valued necessity for overcrowded hospitals.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Endeavors are also being made by the yoga community to provide emotional therapy through the very practice of yoga. <a href="http://www.yoga4trauma.org/">Yoga4Trauma</a> is a group dedicated to alleviating mental stress through yoga therapy. As such, they&#8217;ve set up their own support organization entitled Project Haiti in which yoga instructors, such as the  Sue Jones of Yoga Hope and Maggie Juliano of Sprout Yoga, are leading a crew of yogis to deal with victims emotional trauma.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Spirit Voyage, a publisher of <a href="http://www.spiritvoyage.com">yoga music</a>, released a digital compilation, <a href="http://www.spiritvoyage.com/haiti">Chants For Haiti</a>.  All of the proceeds are donated to Doctors without Borders earmarked for Haiti.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">For many in the yoga community, the tragedy has re-awakened some empathy and a desire to attain ways to find peace in such a turbulent, poverty stricken area.</p>

People are noticing the  benefits of practicing daily Yoga. They are especially amazed by the efficiency with which they can become fitter, healthier by undergoing the least taxing of all the exercises. Any Yoga, be it <strong><a title="Kundalini Yoga" href="http://www.spiritvoyage.com/kundaliniyoga.aspx">Kundalini Yoga</a></strong>, Hatha Yoga or Ashthanga Yoga has the same amount of effect in benefiting the body. The entire needs of the body are met by Yoga and so practicing Yoga has become the latest Health-Buzz.</p>
<p>Yoga has been developed throughout the years to be practiced by individuals to make their lives better. But times, they sure have changed and so now we have many people working on irregular time-shifts, following irregular diets amidst taxing life-styles. Many people are thus looking up to Yoga for answering their daily spiritual, mental and physical benefits. Practicing Yoga needs a basic set of criteria. Although Yoga can be practiced on any time of the day, it needs to be done preferably in early morning or evening.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is a true fact that each and every person on this planet encounters numerous problems in the due course of his daily life. The way of life has changed dramatically and   now it has become fast, competitive and challenging. And where there is a cause, there is an effect. Too much stress has resulted in too much  mental fatigue. And mental fatigue has a direct consequence on the physical well-bring. We, thus have to try and make our lives better over-coming these deterrent factors throughout our lives. Teenage is the most delicate age when such deterrent factors play a very decisive role and have the potential to change our lives for a really long time to  come. Various Yoga such as <strong><a title="Kundalini Yoga" href="http://www.spiritvoyage.com/kundaliniyoga.aspx">Kundalini Yoga</a></strong>, Hatha Yoga and Ashtanga Yoga help teenagers in dealing with the rapid changes they experience.</p>
<p>The Ultimate objective of Yoga is to attain absolute peace and   calm of mind and body. Helping teenagers deal with stress is thus one of the foremost objectives of Yoga. <strong><a title="Yoga music" href="http://www.spiritvoyage.com/">Yoga music</a></strong> has been found to be effective in helping people and especially teenagers deal with stress and mental exertions. It gives   them strength, health and flexibility. Hence, Yoga is considered an   excellent choice in stress-management. Many teenagers are thus looking up to Yoga as being their best friends in coping with the growing  tensions from various facets of life. Through various exercises, postures, breathing exercises, diet, behavior and meditation, teenagers of today are finding Yoga to be their way of de-stressing and being  fitter and happier.<strong> <a title="Meditation music" href="http://www.spiritvoyage.com/">Meditation music</a></strong> has been tremendous in aiding the entire process of healing from within.</p>
<p>Teens are no longer just looking at Yoga to manage stress, they are looking to make Yoga as a part of their life which is going to play nothing else than just constructive role. <strong><a title="Spirit Voyage" href="http://www.spiritvoyage.com/">Spirit  Voyage</a></strong> endeavours to make the lives of thousands of teenagers stress-free and make them healthy and happy. If you are in the look-out for that perfect <strong><a title="Yoga DVD" href="http://www.spiritvoyage.com/">Yoga DVD</a> </strong>then this the p<img title="Yoga music" src="http://www.spiritvoyage.com/yogablog/wp-content/themes/default/images/teenStress.jpg" alt="Yoga music" align="right" />lace to be. Yoga is the  science and art of living a beautiful life. Unlike slogging it out in the Gym, Yoga is a less intensive way of exercise where you are not   feeling sleepy after a session, you are rejuvenated.</p>
<p>Teens  experience a lot of changes in them. And the most common problem that any teenager would face is a dis-balanced emotional health. There are a  lot of hormonal imbalances that are under-way as the teen age comes up.  Yoga helps these teenagers in dealing with the immense changes that  their body undergoes in these growing years. Today, teenagers come across many different challenges both in the academic sphere as well as in peer-groups. In dealing with so many varied problems, Yoga exercises like <strong><a title="Kundalini Yoga" href="http://www.spiritvoyage.com/kundaliniyoga.aspx">Kundalini Yoga</a></strong>, Hatha Yoga and Asthanga Yoga are the best solutions  for all the problems.</p>
<p>Yoga along with <a title="Yoga Music" href="http://www.spiritvoyage.com/"><strong>Yoga Music</strong></a> helps  teenagers in battling depression. Disciplined Yoga exercises result in   the release of hormones called &#8216;endorphins&#8217;, also known as &#8216;Happy  Hormones&#8217;. These hormones tremendously help the practitioner to be calm  long after the routine. There is a vicious cycle of tensions. Too much  stress leads to muscle tensions and that leads to further anxiety among  the teenagers. Without slogging it out in the Gym to get stiffed muscles  and then wasting more money in spas, yoga has the calming effect in the  mind and body. A <a title="Yoga DVD" href="http://www.spiritvoyage.com/"><strong>Yoga DVD</strong></a> that any teenager would like to go through is <a title="Peace of Mind in Stressful Times" href="http://www.spiritvoyage.com/yoga/Peace-of-Mind-in-Stressful-Times/Sat-Jivan-Singh-Khalsa/DVD-002370.aspx"><strong>Peace of Mind in Stressful Times</strong></a> by Sat Jivan Singh Khalsa.

Sitting on a  chair for a long time and in a wrong posture can be very much harmful for waist, back and spinal chord. So, one must take breaks after every  half an hour and just can loiter around. Simple office yoga postures are not only helpful in terms of physical exercises but also refreshes the mind of the exhausted employee. It in turn increases the ability to work and therefore results in better  performance level. These yoga postures can be performed any time, any  day, siting right on the office chair. These are the simplest yoga poses not the tough ones like <strong><a title="Kundalini yoga" href="http://www.spiritvoyage.com/kundaliniyoga.aspx">Kundalini yoga</a></strong> or Ashtanga yoga.</p>
