Yoga with Karen Stolz: Hotel Yoga
http://karenstolzyoga.blogspot.com/2010/12/hotel-yoga.html
Sunday, December 5, 2010. Being on the road gives me stiff joints and tight muscles. Is it the hours of sitting or the hotel beds? No matter what the cause, yoga helps! I don't carry a mat, nor do I expect to find a yoga class in the hotel fitness center (unlikely), all I need is a piece of floor in the room and a towel or two. Finish up with Warrior I (Virabhadrasana I) and Warrior III (Virabhadrasana III), then a brief relaxation (Savasana) and you'll feel refreshed and invigorated.

Yoga with Karen Stolz: October 2009
http://karenstolzyoga.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 25, 2009. Breathing: Quality, Quantity and Frequency. Without the breath yoga is just exercise. While many times we do our poses and think about using the breath later, awareness of the breath can give much more depth to a yoga asana practice. To introduce breath-work into a practice, I think of three things: the quality of the breath, the quantity of the breath, and the frequency of the breath. Frequency of the breath is the respiration rate, how many breaths per minute. Normal respi...

Yoga with Karen Stolz: January 2010
http://karenstolzyoga.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 27, 2010. Yoga while seated on a chair is a good way to have a gentle practice. The chair is a support that allows modifications of many poses. Start with a sturdy metal folding chair. Open the chair and place it on a yoga mat. This will prevent the chair from slipping during your practice. Gentle poses are great for those stressful days when your strength of character gets you to practice, but muscular strength is lacking. Saturday, January 9, 2010. Mindfulness is a practice, just lik...

Yoga with Karen Stolz: August 2012
http://karenstolzyoga.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 1, 2012. Has it really been a year and a half? I have been very busy with yoga and other things. My emphasis this past year has been on yoga therapy and I am very excited about the possibilities for yoga in this new aspect. In particular I have been studying the work of Thomas Myers and his myofacsial fitness concepts. I truly believe this is the next opportunity for us all to learn more about our bodies from the inside out. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Yoga with Karen Stolz: Yoga for Fascial Fitness
http://karenstolzyoga.blogspot.com/2013/07/yoga-for-fascial-fitness.html
Wednesday, July 3, 2013. Yoga for Fascial Fitness. Much myofascial work is done with hands-on bodywork, but in yoga, the work is through movement into a specific pose, holding that pose and releasing from the pose. This movement can be fast or slow but the essence is to expand the awareness throughout the entire body. This is how the body experiences the pose, our mental picture and our verbal references can match the body's unified experience. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.
