a YOGA description~~~

The word yoga comes from the ancient Sanskrit root yuj, which means "to yoke" or "to join"—as in yoking together a horse and cart. Today, yoga is commonly defined as union, because the practice helps unite—or join together—many things. On the most basic level, yoga unites the body and the mind through the breath. On the most cosmic level, yoga unites the individual with the universe.
Here's a way to experience this concept:
Sit in a comfortable seated position and tune into your breath. Allow your breath to slow and deepen. Meditate on the word yoga or union or one. What associations do you have with those words? What do they mean to you?
Now move away from your thoughts and simply sit with your concentration on the word yoga. If thoughts intrude, notice without judgment that your mind is chattering, and return your focus to your breath. You are moving into a direct experience of what union truly means.

~~~Keep serenity with radiant Light of Love in your Heart~~~

Stretch & Restore

Yoga for your Hip Flexors

In our modern society, most of us lead fairly sedentary lifestyles. We spend a lot of time sitting — sitting at the computer, while watching TV, while driving in the car. While we are in the seated position, the muscles of the hip flexor are contracted. This constant contraction leads to an imbalance in the muscles of the hip area which in turn can lead to lower back problems.
There are several muscles across the front of the hip area whose job it is to pull the thigh and the torso towards each other. The most notable of these is the iliopsoas. The iliopsoas is actually made up of two muscle groups – the iliacus and the psoas (major and minor). The iliopsoas is considered to be the most powerful flexor of the thigh.
Problems in the hip flexors are not due to a lack of strength, but a lack of flexibility. Due to our lifestyles, the hip is kept in a constant state of flexion which causes the muscles to shorten. This will limit your ability to fully extend these muscles. When the muscles of the hip flexors are tight, they pull the pelvis forward, tilting it and creating strain on the lower back.
