Karma Yoga and the Environment |
 |
 |
|
This artcile is from http://jadanschool.blogspot.com/ - the blog of Swami Jasraj who manages the school at the largest Yoga in Daily Life ashram in India. Near the village of Jadan, this ashram is home to many of the humanitarian initatives undertaken by Yoga in Daily Life.
It tells the story of Jambaji who was born in 1451 and the effect he had on the environment and people around him - an effect that can still be seen today!
Some of the local wildlife. Special to watch especially early in the morning. This is about 20km from our ashram. One of the boys from school has put together some history about the blackbuck pictured and the trees which are in the scenes. Environmentalists from a different era with a tradition that continues.

Yoga in Daily Life in Australia |

The not-for-profit, Australian Association of Yoga in Daily Life was established in Sydney in 1991 and grew organically throughout Australia.

The origin of Yoga lies in India, but its teachings are 100% universal and can be applied to all aspects of our life, hence the term “Yoga in Daily Life”.

Relieve Back and Neck Pain |
|
|
 Poor posture and bad habits in movement place undue of pressure on the spine. The resulting muscular tension is a frequent cause of back pain, which may also radiate to other areas of the body, such as the head, neck, arms and legs. This is why each Yoga Asana generally involves some part of the spine in the exercise. Those exercises that include a gentle twist of the spine specifically relax the deep layers of muscles in the back. These muscles connect the individual vertebra along the spine and are very much inclined to hold tension. As these muscles are oblique, they receive immense benefit from gentle twisting exercises.
