I'm a firm believer of this alternate breathing technique. (Somewhere at 6"27')
I love stuff like natural healing. Pilates and Yoga is one of them. Occasionally I might add an entry on Reiki, meditation and other stuff as well.

Bedtime Yoga
It's my favourite yoga teacher again!!!! The first workout is good for people who stand the whole day at work and want to rest your feet. This can help circulate your blood in the legs. The second workout is like the spinal twist. It looks pretty easy.

Yoga Cure for Insomnia and anxiety
I believe what she is practicing is called the Dead Man's Pose. I usually can never fall asleep doing this. Does it work for you.

Improving the saddle pose
Ok here is another eureka moment of ahhhh. I notice that there are actually 2 versions of the saddle pose. You can either do it on your heels or between your heels. I have been doing it between my heels and sometimes my knees complain about it. I find it better to do it while sitting on my heels with the block under the buttocks. I still lean back on a stack of pillows because I can't lean back well enough. I am aiming for a pain free yin yoga stretch. I want my knees and joints to be happy.

Inner knee pain and yin yoga
Last night I experienced a moment of ahhhhh....remember how I have been having knee pain I suspected it was one of the poses I was doing wrong. Well I watched Bernie Clarke's video on how to do the swan pose which is also known as the pigeons pose in hatha yoga and learnt how to do a modified version of it. I learnt I should not rotate the front leg too much so I used the safest method by sitting directly on my heel. i didn't rotate my front leg at all. I also used 2 blocks on each side to place my hands on because I can't seem to balance properly without them. I sat and held the pose for 5 minutes on each side without pain. When I came out of the pose I felt a relieve feeling. Today I woke up without any pain at all. I feel a sense of freedom as I walk. It's a eureka moment for me. I finally found the source of my knee pain. I must be tight at my hips, hamstrings and maybe back. Gosh I sit in the office all day so that could be the contributing factor. I am soooo looking forward to practicing it again. Do you think I will be able to get a bit more flexible and start rotating my front leg in a few months? I know I will have to practice diligently and that will be one of my targets. Wish me luck.
Yin Yoga For Anxiety, Stress and Dizziness
I love the practice of yin yoga because it is very relaxing and therapeutic but I'm having trouble leaning forward when I'm dizzy. :-( I'll skip that part and do the rest.

Yoga for Vertigo Cure
I've been experiencing what this guy has been experiencing. I've been feeling dizzy when lying down in a certain direction. I also suspect it's the ear. Unfortunately this video has no demo. It's just him driving and sharing about his dizziness.
