Tweet with me at Twitter

Am always looking for like minded souls.  Twitter is a good social networking place to do this.  My good friend Claire Raikes www.businessblogangel.com suggested I get into tweeting.  So glad I did, have learned so much.  People who tweet often suggest great websites to visit for like minded people. 

My favourite tweeter is Stephen Fry.  So honoured that he follows ME, and thousands of others of course!  You can tweet with me at www.Twitter.com/berylwh.  See you there.  Please introduce yourself to me.

Meditation to move prana around the body

Meditation can be a challenge for the most dedicated of us yogis!  Recently I had to teach someone how to slow down their mind BEFORE they could get into meditation.  There is a simple technique that accesses the adrenal glands and quietens them down.  Then, the way is a bit clearer to meditate. 

Recently I have learnt a lovely style of meditation to move prana around the body from my friend Steve.  Steve is a Qi Gong teacher and I have been enjoying discovering the overlaps between Qi Gong and Yoga.

Often at the end of my classes in both Dunstable and Great Brickhill (Milton Keynes) I incorporate a little of this type of meditation and it always goes down well.

Side Leg Lift

Keeping the legs flexible, particularly the hamstrings can keep the lower back free.  There are many easy ways to keep your legs supple.  Walking is one of the best as it brings along with it fresh air.  For your yoga practise consider the Side Leg Lift http://www.yogajournal.com/poses/2500.  This will help free up your hamstrings and keep your hipjoints moving too.
