WEEKEND YOGAPEDIA Yoga Flow: Energy Boosting

Yoga postures are the most inexpensive source of bringing deep relaxation and rejuvenation to the body. One might feel enervated after sitting for long hours or shuttling between different tasks. Yoga increases 'prana' or life force energy in the body by removing blockages along the spinal cord and smoothening the energy flow.

Enhance your body's energy levels by practicing these simple yoga postures and feel the difference for yourself:

Veerabhadrasana (Warrior pose): Named after Veerabhadra, a fierce warrior and an incarnation of Lord Shiva, this yoga posture strengthens and tones the arms, legs and lower back. It is highly beneficial for people with sedentary jobs.

Utkatasana (Chair pose): Sitting in a chair may sound very easy and comfortable but sitting in an imaginary chair might be a little challenging! This yoga posture unblocks energy centers, exercises the spine, hips and chest muscles. It helps strengthen the lower back and torso.

Setu Bandhasana (Bridge pose): Bridge pose helps you unblock the flow of energy along the spinal cord. This yoga posture also strengthens the back muscles and relieves the tired back instantaneously. It stretches the chest, neck and spine; and also calms the brain, reduces anxiety, stress and depression.

Shalabhasana (Locust Posture): The Locust pose adds agility to the body and also increases flexibility and strength of the entire back, shoulders and arms. This yoga posture also massages and tones abdominal organs while improving digestion too.

Makara Adho Mukha Svanasana (Dolphin Plank pose): Makara Adho Mukha Svanasana is a rejuvenating yoga posture that helps tones the abdominal muscles. It effectively relives the body of headache, fatigue and back-ache. It also strengthens the arms and legs while toning the abdominal muscles and relieving the body of menstrual discomfort.

Nadi Shodhan Pranayama (Alternate Nostril Breathing): The region between the eyebrows is the place where all the nadis meet. Activating the energy centers from this region is one of the easiest, subtle and profound ways to energize the body and calm the mind. This technique works therapeutically for most circulatory and respiratory problems and harmonizes the left and right hemispheres of the brain. It also rids the body of any accumulated stress.

TOGETHER WITH ACULIEFNaturally, Soothe Headaches In Minutes

When you get headaches, a significant cause of the pain you feel is due to inflammation in the blood vessels and tissue in your head.1 Painkillers work because they can shrink inflamed blood vessels. While this can help reduce pain when taken early enough it can also be unhealthy and addictive.

Aculief provides a natural solution by applying cold therapy and soothing compression directly to your head's natural headache “relief points”.

This technique reduces blood vessel swelling and inflammation in all the areas you feel the most pressure, resulting in fast pain relief that feels great – without having to rely on drugs.

Aculief’s pain-relieving technique is universal – meaning it relieves pain from all types of headaches, including:

• Migraine

• Cluster Headaches

• Sinus Headaches

• Stress & Tension Headaches

• Neck Pain

THE WEEKEND POSITIVE NEWS ROUNDUP

1. The End Of Plastic?

According to the UN's new vision for reducing plastics, putting an end to our disposable culture could save the planet $4.5 trillion (£3.6 trillion) in just 17 years.

Ahead of talks in Paris to hammer out a global agreement on the crisis, the UN Environment Programme has laid out a roadmap for an 80% reduction in plastic pollution by 2040.

The report suggests embracing the three Rs: reuse, recycle, and reorient, with the latter focusing on using alternative materials, after "eliminating problematic and unnecessary plastics".

The report cautions that even after putting its recommendations into practice, we would still have 100 million tonnes of waste per year. The trillions in savings would come from recycling revenues and avoided costs like health problems, air pollution, and ocean degradation.

According to Sian Sutherland, co-founder of the advocacy organization A Plastic Planet, "if we are to truly tackle the plastic crisis, we must move to solutions including permanent packaging and prefill systems, which will necessitate a true reinvention of our take, make, waste systems."

2. 3 Children and a Baby Survived for Weeks in a Colombian Jungle After Their Plane Crashed...

3 children aged 13, 11, and 4, along with an 11-month-old infant, have reportedly been found alive in the jungles of Colombia after miraculously surviving a plane crash that killed all 3 adults on board.

Together, these durable youths stuck it out for over 2 weeks on their own, sheltering in simple hutches made of palm fronds and sticks and eating wild fruit.

3. A New Study To Solve Aging...

In the world's largest human imaging study, which involves body scanning tens of thousands of volunteers, researchers hope to discover the secrets of aging.

Nine years ago, 60,000 people underwent MRI scans as part of the UK Biobank project, which resulted in the world's largest health research database. Researchers are attempting to gain a better understanding of how our bodies age by rescanning the bone density, brains, and other vital organs of volunteers in an effort to find early warning signs of diseases like cancer, heart disease, and dementia.

According to Prof. Paul Matthews of the UK Biobank, "the collection of a repeat set of whole-body scans on such a large scale will enable many more fundamental discoveries, better understanding of early disease stages and their diagnosis, and support for the development of new treatments for diseases of mid-to-late life."

LEARN SANSKRITPranayama (prah -nah -yah -mah)

Pranayama is a collection of techniques for capturing and manipulating prana, or unifying energy. It is an important part of yoga, frequently absorbed into asana practice or used as a warm-up before meditation. Pranayama is derived from several Sanskrit word, prana (vital life force), yama (control), and ayama (extension or expansion). Prana is represented by the breath, and pranayama can be defined as method of extending and expanding vital life energy through the focus of respiration.
