Back pain is a common reason for absence from work and for seeking medical treatment. It can be uncomfortable and debilitating. Most of the elderly people are experiencing back pain at some point in their lives, out of them around 10 percent of the people will be needing surgeries. For others, it can be treated with medicine or without undergoing surgery.

Auxx me has prepared a set of stretching exercise in order to ease the back within a very short period of time.

Frog use to be a pose I hated but then I started to bring it more into my practice and also in Dublin while taking my 300 hours teacher training I was naturally ? listenning to the lecture in this position and I started to enjoy it more and more and now when I think about it, I think I hated more the idea of frog than the pose itself! There is poses where I know I’m gonna suffer and I already hate it before to even do it and finally if I’m courageous enough to do it sometime it’s not actually that bad ? what is the pose that you hate the most ? #frogpose #practiceandalliscoming #yogapractice #practicewhatyoudontlike #yogaeverydamnday #yogagirl #yogainspiration #yogaforever #yogaeverydamnday #frog #parisianyogini #createamagicalyou ???

Difficult family, most of us have someone who gives us a hard time, or is often out to hurt us. As best we can avoid these people outside of family events, there are certain Holidays where we just can’t. Here are a few ideas to keep you grounded and focused on the Love and Good energy you have to offer :: Guard your energy. It’s easy to let your energy be influenced by others, especially when you’re feeling vulnerable. When tension is high, you can literally feel the energy in a room shift. Don’t let your energy be hijacked by anyone else. Decide how you want to feel and consciously, purposely set about to feel that way. Your own calm energy is your best asset, hands down. :: Then Visualize :: How can you guard your energy? A great visualization is called BOT (Big, Old Tree). Imagine yourself as a huge, tall, old tree with roots spreading deep into the ground and lots of branches and leaves extending out around you. Your roots and your thick, strong trunk are your true self, the part of you that can’t be affected by others. The only impact others might have is on your branches and leaves. They may come through like a storm and ruffle your leaves, but the ‘damage’ is superficial, temporary, and minimal. Your basic roots and trunk—who you really are—are not affected. When there is tension in the room, visualize it fluttering around in the space around you (where your imaginary leaves would be), but never actually reaching you. Then, take a deep breath and remember WHO you are. #dramyjohnson ?#thisisonlytemporary #holidays #difficultpeople #goodintentions #protectyourheart #bekind #UtthitaParsvakonasana #extendedsideangle #sideanglepose
