FacebookQuality Breathing Can Change Your Life
Do we understand the importance of a simple breath? To breathe means to process the air in-and-out of the lungs. Breath maintains our life and wellbeing. Breathing is the utilizing of oxygen that comes in with each wave of the breath. If you are living, you are breathing, yet are you breathing correctly? Less obvious is the importance of the quality of one’s breathing. That is, are you merely breathing on autopilot or are you consciously activating the diaphragm and expanding the lungs?
Texas Yoga Conference
The First Annual Texas Yoga Conference (TYC) will be hosted by Unity Church (2929 Unity Drive, Houston, TX) on February 19-20, 2010. TYC was founded in 2009 by Houston area yoga studio owners, who share a passion. That passion is to introduce, represent, and support Texas yogis and the Texas yoga community. The conference intends to inspire the general public about yoga and to educate it about the numerous and diverse branches of yoga.
Creating an Alliance
Protecting Yoga and the Right to Teach
Seriously, I had no idea at the time that the "Got Yoga?" campaign to market yoga in Texas would have such significance in the creation of the Texas Yoga Association. After founding the conference, it just came to me that we needed a state-wide association to glue us all together. Then I saw the movie Milk! Shortly after that, I found out that the Texas Workforce Commission had moved toward regulating Austin Yoga closing many yoga schools and studios who could not afford the hefty annual fee to operate.
Yoga Unifies Houston
By Jennifer Buergermeister and Chiza Alba
Author of The Healing Path of Yoga, Nischala Joy Devi, said, “With humility, we embrace the sacredness through the study of Yoga.” An open mind and heart will follow.
“Yoga” is a derivative of a Sanskrit word meaning “unity.” Many yoga practitioners will define yoga as a series of stretching and strengthening postures, known as asana, used in combination with meditation and breathing techniques. What they describe is actually Hatha Yoga, the yoga of postures. This popular form is only one branch of the yogic tradition. There are many branches on the yogic tree, much like the tree of life. But they share in a complete sense that yoga is about unification.
Responding to the TYC
To the yoga community:
I want to alert you that the Texas Workforce Commission has issued demands to a number of Houston yoga schools, giving us 15 days to formulate our position and file a response. Since this might affect you soon, I would like to share my initial thoughts as I plan to rise to this challenge.
