Begin Yoga Now The Essential Guide for Runners, Walkers and Desk Jockeys So many activities in our life create tension and imbalance in our bodies! When we repeat the same motion over and over again, like we do when running or walking, we overdevelop certain muscles in the lower body. With inadequate or ineffective stretching these muscles end up short, sore and tense. Our performance suffers! Our movement and our posture suffers. As a result we develop aches and pains and often end up injuring ourselves over and over again! When we are inactive for hours at a time, seated in a position that shortens muscles in the hips and legs we create almost permanent muscle shortnesses and weaknesses that affect our movements and posture negatively. We create a domino effect of tension in the body, ending up with pain in our backs, our hips or other body parts. The key to unlocking a sense of well being in your body is creating a balance between strength and flexibility. Begin Yoga Now to balance out your body! Marleen has designed the yoga routines on this DVD from personal experience: "Before I decided to dedicate my time to teaching yoga I used to bike 45 minutes to work, sit at a desk for 8 hours and bike 45 minutes back. My legs were tight, my back was tight and I didn't even know it! I had no idea how tight I was. I just knew that I didn't feel that great. Then, back in my mid twenties, I developed nagging pains in my lower back that would flare up at the most inconvenient times. That is one of the things that eventually caused me to look into other forms of exercise. First I tried mat Pilates, but that really hurt my back. So I tried yoga. It was a revelation to me. Because that is when I realized how horribly tight (and sometimes weak) my muscles were! Right on top of that came the realization of how good it felt to relieve that tightness. It was the only fitness type activity I had ever done that felt good IMMEDIATELY. I also loved the 'do what you can, don't push atmosphere in yoga. I would leave class with my body feeling better and my mind in a state of calm and clarity that had eluded me for a long time. Here I am, almost 40 and in better physical and mental shape than I have ever been. Yoga changed my life. That is why I became a teacher." The yoga routines on this DVD are the ones that Marleen has found to be most helpful for people like you, who need to counteract the repetitive motions of running, walking and biking and/or the hours spent sitting. They will balance out the strength and flexibility in your lower body to release tension and create a newfound freedom of movement. She has taught these routines to hundreds of students who have found relief from aches and pains and are enjoying their newfound strength and flexibility. Now you can do the same! "As a construction worker I use my one day a week of yoga to relieve my aches and kinks. Plus it's just a lot of fun bending, balancing, stretching etc. I can't wait to touch my toes..... soon!"-Peter JYou have no idea how much tension your body has been holding until you start releasing it with Yoga! And there are more benefits to practicing Yoga:
"I have been attending Marleen's classes for 5 years. In addition to the added flexibility, it has strengthened my back. Her classes are always enjoyable and always evolving." "Yoga felt good after I did it, not beat up like with basketball, weightlifting, or karate. Yoga left my head in a clean, relaxed, different place. In fact, I believe that the things you are teaching me are changing lots of my life for the better. I think better thoughts. I am calmer. I am less stressed. Today a lady I haven’t seen in a few months didn’t recognize me. Lost too much weight and she thought I was someone else. "After a lifetime of exercise avoidance, Marleen’s introduction to Yoga has convinced me that this is a wonderful way of life. I have experienced increased flexibility and wellbeing from the very first hour of her instruction. I’m back to walking more securely and comfortably, and can once again feel my legs doing the work instead of creating lower back pain from incorrect exertion. I recommend Marleen Stam-Gibbs to anyone who feels they need a comfortable and comforting assist with body alignment, strength, flexibility and balance. On this DVD you will find
