Time for a Yoga Break

Ease the tension in your neck and shoulders using simple self massage and yoga techniques presented in this video. No equipment is needed and you can do this while sitting in your chair. Go to a quiet room, or use headphones if you can, and pay close attention to your breath.

The story behind this yoga video

Ntathu Allen is a yoga teacher, writer and blogger at YogaInspires. I first came in contact with Ntathu when she entered Kiesha Easley’s Surviving the Blog Contest, and meeting her reminded me of how much I miss practicing yoga. As I read one of Ntathu’s contest posts called Yoga for Bloggers – Simple Self Massage to Ease a Sore Neck and Stiff Shoulders I was moved to recite the piece for my podcast. Ntathu was so pleased with the podcast, that I decided to take things to the next level and create a YouTube video using some still shots and the video creation tool called Animoto. I hope you enjoy the video come back and watch it again whenever you want to relax. If you get a chance, please do me a favor and give it a thumbs up or leave a comment over on YouTube.

With all the hustle and bustle of holiday shopping on top of a hectic blogging schedule, it makes sense to take a few moments to relax and pamper yourself a little. Practicing yoga is a great way to soothe your spirit, but I’m sure you can think of others. What do you do when your neck starts to feel tight and sore or if  you just need to take a break - have you tried practicing yoga before?

Yoga is always a positive exercise to do, as it helps to relieve nervous tension within, and calms the overall nervous system =)

Jim,

if you do cardio for 20 min. to half our first thing in the morning on an empty stomach or your treadmill at home, you will potentially experience a positive boost in your immune system, as well as increased ambition to accomplish more throughout the day, while potentially overcoming the flu sooner than you thought :-)

When I teach yoga to children/teens they love making all kinds of noises as they practice. Makes it more fun for them..we have Sammy the Snake who hisses in Cobra and in Downward Dog we always end up barking like a dog and wagging our tails. Great fun

Herbert, it’s amazing to study the origin of yoga and it is absolutely not for women. In fact it goes back a long way in Indian culture and it has a strong male following. I would say more but I’m not the expert and I don’t want to get my facts wrong. As I learn more I will speak about it in future videos. That might be the best way to get the point across.

btw – your daughter is gorgeous!

Traditionally yoga was practised by men and used by spiritual seekers and monks as a way to help them prepare for meditation. If you look at yoga history, the majority of the great masters/teachers are male. Its only in the west that yoga has become more commercialised and also seen more as “womens’ activity” But as Holly says, yoga can and is practised by everyone. There are many styles and schools of yoga so I am sure you will find a type of yoga suited to your temperament. Strolling with your daughter is a an extremely yogic form of exercise…nice to hear.

I totally agree. I first got into yoga because I had explored my spirituality in the mental, emotional, and intellectual realms, but not yet in the physical. I started yoga to bring the physical into my practice to bring myself more in balance, and what a perfect way, because yoga was all about balance in all things: physical or otherwise.

PrIyAnGsHu, so agree. That’s another hidden benefit of yoga. It increases your sense of body awareness and as such, with regular practice, you instinctively remember to breathe and readjust your posture, especially from all the hours we spend glued in front of the computer-probably one of the worst jobs in terms of stress it places on our body and helps us to relax, ease and soften all aches and pains.

Loved the video Ileane!

I used to practice yoga, but that was some time back and left it due to the busy routine. However, just as other things need to be done, you do need to find time for exercise and yoga. My dad practices it and is forever fit at his age of 75! And it is surely because of yoga.

It sure is a wonderful video, something that would surely help all bloggers- especially me, being a freelance writer, where I have to sit and only write :)

Thanks so much for sharing :)

Yoga was a part of my school curriculum (for a couple of years). The simple exercises were themselves quite difficult to perform and I did not even get into the complex asanas! But the techniques in the video look simple enough – thanks for the same, might give them a try.

Raj, that’s interesting. Come to think of it, my first exposure to Yoga was during my high school years too. We had this lovely health teacher named Susan Bear, we always laughed because her husband’s name is Teddy Bear. LOL.

Anyway she introduced us to Yoga way back in the 70′s and I think that was the first time Yoga really started to become popular in the U.S. and the time was just right for Americans to embrace foreign cultures.

I’ll need to brush up on the terminology but for those who are reading this and don’t know – An asana is a pose – and some of them are very complicated and take years to master. Eventually you can twist your body in ways that can make you look like a pretzel :)

Thanks for the memories Raj and for your comment as always!

I used to do Yoga until I learned the science of QiGong which has simple exercises giving drastic effects that are immediately felt. Most don’t know it, but certain yogic exercises can be dangerous especially when you get into manipulating your kundalini and although QiGong directs the flow of kundalini (chi,qi,etc.) as well you have more control over it and the health benefits are more pronounced.

Thanks for the advice about QiGong. My daughter’s father is heavily into that type of study and he travels to Asia many times a year to practice with the masters.

Thanks for sharing that. QiGong is a beautifl therapeutic practice and I am glad you practice it. Re your comments re Kundalini energy can I share my understanding of this? Yes, there are many styles and approaches to yoga. In my experience it takes many years of devoted practice under guidance of a teacher to raise your Kundalini energy, in fact there is a whole debate within yoga community re purpose and value of awakening and raising “your Kundalini energy”- Yoga is about balance and creating harmony and ease within your mind/body and spirit- “true yogis” do not practice yoga to the extreme where it can cause harm to self or to others..the concept of non-violence runs through all yogic teachings. Miss Ileane and I advocate a more gentle approach to yoga, as a tool to optimise your health and weave simple routines into your everyday busy schedule to help you feel more vitalised and energised.

Yoga is an amazing break.
The key is you don’t have to do it for 90 minutes. I often take 10 minute yoga breaks and do some standing or sitting poses (depending on energy level). Do this throughout the day and it helps tremendously. Also, if you do it 3 to 4 times per day, you’ll have strung a 30 to 40 minues of yoga over the course of the day and it doesn’t seem daunting at all.

I’ve recently become a Yoga addict. To be honest, I used to think it was a load of rubbish. I didn’t understand how you could get fit and feel relaxed just from stretching, but it really works. I go once a week now and it’s brilliant for getting rid of all the aches and pains you get from sitting at a desk for 9 hours a day.

Yoga? I’ve definitely experienced neck tension and upper shoulder tension since working on websites and blogs. I’ve found out (accidentally) working out with weights (pull down types at gym) for arms has helped a lot for upper shoulder and neck but never thought of doing yoga. Maybe in 2012 I can find some time for it. Thanks!

to be honest, that is what I thought at first when it came to blogging. Honestly, you don’t have to sit in front of the computer all day, in order to accomplish your blogging efforts for the day. Let’s say for example if you are a full-time blogger earning a living on the World Wide Web, just from your blogging efforts alone. Who wants to sit at the computer all day? Certainly not me, as I can understand what you’re coming from. I’ve been thinking about this recently and how to overcome sitting at the computer all day, when creating and publishing blog content and article content to the World Wide Web. all you need to do basically to work from anywhere is to either take your laptop with you that has a wireless air card that’ll enable you to work from anywhere in the country, or, have an [Apple iPad] with wireless Internet enabled. From there, all you need is speech recognition “so that you won’t have to type every blog post on your “Apple iPad” or laptop when out and about blogging from anywhere you please”, as you’ll be able to work from anywhere “as previously emphasized” and [create unique web content at light speed] using [speech recognition], while increasing your blogging productivity, as well as your online advertising $ gUaP $ from your hard blogging efforts. Does all of this make sense to you? :-)

Hi Chuck, great to see yoga forms such a key role in your life. Yes, yoga is magically. My very first private client started yoga to help her ease her grief after her divorce, she needed “a quiet space to think things through” and ease the tension in her back. From my own personal experience, yoga, breathing and meditation are my key saviours when I lost my brother and even during my recent divorce, the ability to breathe helped to keep me sane. So, I heartily agree yoga helps to release deep seated disturbances, especially as emotional pain is often locked in our body. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I didn’t do yoga this morning, but I managed to exceed my cardiovascular goal. The original plan was to do 20 min. of walking and jogging this morning on the treadmill. Instead of stopping at 20 min., I exceeded the cardio goal, and went for three more minutes, for total of 23 min. on the treadmill this morning on an empty stomach. I have a New Year’s transformation goal of losing close to or 100 pounds of unhealthy body weight. Somewhere along the way, I will try to perform some yoga, in adjusting my mind to new healthy exercise routines. Please pray for me :-)

What a wonderful way to start your day and every best blessing as you move towards your health goal. Keep us informed re your growth/progress. I am wondering how we can weave more yoga into your routine as it will definitely help to support your inner desire and motivation, esp when munchies are readily available. Do you breathe? Have you thought of spending the first two -five minutes when on treadmill as a mini walking-breathing-meditation. And during the day, take a few moments to mindfully stretch or even before you eat, just reconnect with your breath and give thanks. Yoga is more than “physical stretching exercises” being mindful and aware of how you sit, stand and move is all part of your “off-the-mat” yoga practice. keep it going and thanks for sharing your goals. We will support you:)

Hi Ileane,

Sat at our desks all hours of day and night is sure to affect our necks, I know it does mine. I’ll give this a try and see if it helps :)

Another excersise I do with my neck when it aches is: Lower my head to the point of pain and then take a deep breath, hold it in for as long as possible while keeping the head still, then slowly breath out and the head will lower in the direction you hold it.

I do this forwards, backwards and to both sides and have found it really does help.

I’ll give the Yoga a try and see if it helps avoid the aches and pains in the first place, as it’s better to avoid than cure ;)

Thanks Ileane, Happy new year to you :)

Take care, Barry

Definitely agree with you Venkat, re the effect of blogging and sitting for long periods of time in same slouched position. We have to make a conscience effort at least once an hour to take a few minutes “yoga-stretch break” otherwise by the end of the day your body is stiff and achy and energy sluggish.

Ntathu,

thank you so much for the kind complement. I appreciate you. This year, I have a renewed transformation goal of losing or coming close to losing 100 pounds of unhealthy body weight. Thing is, I don’t look 100 pounds overweight, but my stomach is out of shape. Today, I did some exercise which consisted of lower abdominal leg raises, in addition to performing five sets of push-ups@six reps each, for total of 30 push-ups in overall. less than 10 min. ago from the time this comment was posted,I just accomplished being on the treadmill for 26 min., when the original goal was to only last 20 min. I get a combination of walking, running and jogging for the time on the treadmill. I feel a little bit lighter now, a little extra happy year, and sitting here munching on cinnamon life cereal, dressed in almond breeze soymilk… LOL

by the end of this year, I hope to be or come close to weighing in at 160 pounds. If I’m able to accomplish that, I’ll be looking like a real real slender person. I missed the high school days of being superthin, which is why I have 160 pounds as my targeted weight goal :-)

thank you for asking. The weight loss is still working, as compounds are still coming down. Last night, I did cardio for six hours “just walking”, and went to sleep as soon as I walked in the door on an empty stomach “to lose more weight”. Right now, I’m taking protein shakes, as well as eating tofu and steamed imitation lobster meat. I almost slipped today and went to hibachi buffet lunch, but resisted at the last minute. So now, I’m waiting for the tofu and imitation lobster meat to finish steaming, so I can sprinkle some bread crumbs and soy sauce on it and some extra seasoning, say my grace, and chow down :-)

Grew up with this Yoga stuff in school and now watching this Youtube video makes me nostalgic . Yoga is quite helpful for everyone but sadly there are more westerners following this than Indians nowadays.

Bishwajeet, perhaps we westerners are late to the yoga party. Thanks for watching the video :)

Yes, yoga is very popular in the west but the teachings stand the test of time which is the blessing. Thanks for reminding me of the strong foundation yoga is built on. In peace.

Yoga is not only involved stretching but I found that it’s also creating balance in the body through developing both strength and flexibility. After hectic blogging schedule, give time to pamper yourself with yoga! Thanks for sharing the video, very impressive one.

I never do yoga, and I don’t think it really helps me.

I like to think, but can’t really think in awkward positions that yoga does.

If it helps some, then this article benefits!

Hi Samuel, thanks for passing by. I am wondering if you had a chance to watch the video and how you felt after watching it? Do give yoga a chance, there are plenty of styles to chose from and not all involved tying yourself up in knots! If you are interested in finding out more, let us know and I’m sure we can help you….take care.

Hello Raheel, thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts. That’s a good point wondering if many bloggers practised yoga…in my experience people from all walks of life practice yoga and judging from the comments this article is at least increasing the awareness of yoga as a way to enhance your business…so yep, the more relax we are, the easy it is to work on our stuff. Take care and thanks again.

Bloggers are really busy people especially when they have just started. I mean, it is really stressful to employ SEO, attract people to the blog, market it through social marketing and a whole lot more tactics you can think of! Sometimes you just need a little break to sort things out. Thanks for the post!
