Lighten Up

The Trigger Point series will continue next Thursday with Shoulders, but today I wanted to start the beginning of a series on Yoga that will pick up right after the conclusion on Trigger Points.  I will have a few posts regarding the different styles of Yoga, tips, and suggestions for your practice.  Today, some self-love for your Valentine's Day ;-)

from Yoga Journal March 2013 issue:

Yoga helps us in myriad ways, but many people don't realize that it can assist with weight loss.  And it's not (only) by sweating off pounds on the mat.  A regular practice will make you toned and fit and will likely inspire you to make healthier food choices.  Yoga also encourages us to experience more self-love, no matter what the number on the scale.

Heart Size

Did you know that your heart size enlarges with regular exercise? No joke, with regular resistance and endurance training, your heart grows in size along with your heart volume increase as an adaptation to increased work demand. The contrast is also true in that it will decrease back to pre-training measures within several weeks after training has ceased. The increased size makes your heart perform more efficiently. So train on knowing that your heart is bigger ;-) Now go put that big heart of yours to good use!!! Happy Heart Day!
