This is the time of year that resolutions are made,
especially when it comes to our health. But

do it "right" only to fall off shortly after.
This year, make it different. Join our Healthy
Body Challenge and have a chance to win lots of
fabulous prizes. Click

January 1, but for readers of this newsletter, I'll
extend the deadline to

Boat Pose
www.about.com
Instructions:
1. From a seated position, bring the legs
straight up to a 45 degree angle.
2. The torso will naturally fall back, but do not
let the spine collapse. Make a "V" shape with the
body.
3. Bring the arms out straight in line with the
shoulders.
4. Balance on the
sit bones.
Beginners: Bend the knees if necessary,
bringing the calves parallel the the floor. This is
Half Boat Pose (click the photo to see this
variation).
Advanced: To increase core strength,
release from the pose bringing the legs and torso
simultaneously towards the floor and hold just
before you touch the floor. Come back up into the
pose like a sit-up. Repeat this several times.
If you're more visual, here's a great
video to help you go through the Boat Pose

Ten Stretches for the Office
by
Diann Daniel
Ever have the feeling that your shoulders have
risen all the way up to your ears, and your back is
turning into a knot from sitting all day while you
work? Stress relief is only a step away, from your
desk, that is. With these 10 yoga poses and
stretches—which you can do at the office—along with
a focus on deep breathing, it’s easy to let some of
your stress fall away.
Loosen up the kinks and knots that form after
being glued to your seat hour after hour, and you’ll
be more refreshed and ready to tackle anything…even
the next Meeting From Hell. "Our bodies simply
weren't meant to sit all day long,” says Sandy
Blaine, author of Yoga for Computer Users
and longtime resident yoga teacher and wellness
consultant at Pixar Animation Studios. To

Yoga for Kids
www.about.com
Children can enjoy many of the same
benefits of yoga that adult do, such as improved
body awareness, coordination, and stress relief.
Although children are naturally flexible, they
probably will not do the poses “correctly” in the
adult sense of the word, so it’s important to keep
things simple. More than learning the poses, the
yoga experience will encourage kids to explore the
unfamiliar with open minds and be comfortable in
their bodies. For kids who are not good at (or don’t
enjoy) conventional sports, yoga may provide a
much-needed physical outlet in a noncompetitive
environment.
