Yoga – Real Men Do Yoga

Yoga seems to be a foreign word to most Americans. Even though yoga has been practiced for more than 5,000, years currently only about 10 million Americans are enjoying the benefits. The United States is a place where people live in the fast lane. Well, the fast lane is killing us. We need to gravitate to the slow lane. No more fast food. We need to embrace the Slow Food Movement. When it comes to working out we don’t need the 3 days a week for six minute ab roller we need a real paradigm shift to an hour a day of proper exercise and that exercise is YOGA.
Most people I deal with talk about being good examples to their children. Their children are all that matter. So they work 60 – 70 hours a week, they eat terrible; they are in a hurry and overweight and don’t have time to eat well or workout. HEY what happened to being a good example to your kids? How about showing your kids that you must take care of your body with proper nutrition and exercise!!!
When your body is stressed out I encourage you to try yoga for 14 days in a row and see if it does not change your life. There are people like Fiona and Dr. Willo Walker you will help you understand the benefits of many different healing modalities. Check them out at http://wp.me/wgkT . They will teach you the basics in yoga and they are breath, stretch, relax, release, and rest.
Don’t be fooled and think yoga is for the weak. When doing yoga you will improve your muscle tone as well. You will get an overall body work. Not only will you improve your strength but your flexibility will improve which will improve your posture. We take these things for granted. When we learn how to breathe, stand, our overall health will improve!!!
Another and maybe even the best benefit of yoga is peace of mind. A popular saying in yoga at the end of class is not to let the world steal your peace. Most yoga classes you complete will have you in a totally peaceful state of mind.
We here at TeamDixon encourage you to try yoga…it will change your life!!!
