Yoga Short Forms – The Practice

admin — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 01:09:05 +0000

Very few race scenarios are more appealing than Paris-Nice, whose 2006 edition Pennsylvania-born Floyd Landis clinched in the biggest win of his career. This was a hard-fought battle against both determined European riders and appalling weather conditions. For the second year running, Frances second most prestigious stage race produced an American winner and a rider wholl be going all out for the yellow at the Tour de France come July. An enthralling, eight-day rehearsal for the Tour, Paris-Nice 2006 demonstrates exactly why the former US Postal domestique is more than ready to follow in the footsteps of no less a bigfoot than Lance Armstrong. A stunning, knock-out attack midway through the event is followed by Landiss gutsy defense against all comers, with only a severely debilitated squad to back him up, through some of the most challenging mountainous terrain in France. Fascinating and nerve-racking in equal measures, this Paris-Nice classic is a must-view experience for cycling fans worldwide.

Only Way Out Is In: A Modern Day Yogi’s Commentary on the Synergy of Ashtanga Yoga, Ayurveda, and Tantra

admin — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 05:30:34 +0000

How can we get on the road to true happiness, peace, and equanimity? Is it possible to find it in this lifetime? The Only Way Out Is In, addresses these questions and gives an answer to man's relentless lifelong quest of looking outside oneself and chasing this inevitable illusion when the answer is simply to look within! This book offers guidance for each individual to look inside and live in the here and now, using the ancient practices of Ashtanga Yoga, Ayurveda, and Tantra in daily living. It affirms that the way "In," can be found by the practices of self-study offered by these three sciences. Utilizing the synergy of the three is one of the most powerful practices for the journey within. Each one has it's own unique qualities of clearing, building, and cultivating the needed energy to ascend. Ashtanga Yoga does this through the practices of yogic postures, breathing, and awareness techniques while using the body as a vehicle for transformation. Ayurveda assists each individual by creating a blueprint for which to live a healthy, vibrant life, as well as to understand your own unique place in the natural order of the Universe. Tantra guides readers further within by connecting people with their own inherent wisdom through the concept of loving yourself first and foremost. Out of cultivating this love of yourself, people naturally share the abundance with everyone and everything. Carlisi's book demystifies these esoteric practices in a user-friendly way. He lures the reader "In" by describing vividly and vulnerably his own trials and tribulations along the Yogic path. He does this by clearly creating a usable "map" for life, that he developed over 30 years of self research as a practitioner of these 3 sciences.
