Yoga

I have been a yoga instructor in addition to a writer and Professor. It has changed my life. The way that I learned, initially, was with ballet classes in Philadelphia as a youth. I was in the Philadelphia Ballet. 

Reading Holy texts  and  knowledge of anatomy and physiology are the first steps to balance in yoga. The two types I have studied are Hatha at the Himalayan Institute in Honesdale, PA and India and Iyengar Yoga which I study now. Here are some links:

Yoga and Vegetarianism for Christians by dr. MARYANN

Day 4
Diet for Yoga

Vegetarian

Practice one half hour of meditation in a seated pose. Use an internal sound such as a favorite Psalm.

Use care to eat whole foods.

Our digestive system uses the food we eat to produce a biochemical called ojas. If the digestive process is stressed by too many animal products, the incompletely digested portion of the meal forms a sticky, toxic substance called ama. The opposite of ojas, ama blocks the flow of the body's balance.

Toxins then form in areas of the body that are out of balance, taking on many forms, such as calcium deposits in the joints, plaque in the arteries, and cysts and tumors. A coated tongue, bad breath, dullness of the senses, depression, and unclear thinking can indicate the presence of ama.
