COMPLETING EIGHT FULL YEARS AS A YOGA INSTRUCTOR OFFICIALLY.

A moment before my initiation as a Yoga Instructor way back in December 10, 2008 in Madurai Sri Sivananda Yoga Ashram. It has been a beautiful journey as a yoga instructor for the past 8 years officially. Met different clients from different walks of life and had shared my teachings with them and it continues on and on. At this point of time, I must thank my gurus Sri Sivananda swamiji and Vishudevandaji for their knowledge and wisdom which I learned during ashram days. I also thank all Mighty God for showing me good clients. I sincerely thank all my clients for their support and accepting me as a member of their family. As always they all are in my prayers. Thank you all yogis for one and all. Let the lineage of Sivanada swamiji goes generations together through us. Om Shanthi, Shanthi, Shanthi.

Home Remedies to Cure Bloating and Gas Pain

Although prevention is the best cure, you might still have that feeling of fullness and discomfort in your stomach sometimes. For those times, here are some natural remedies for you.

Have Mint Tea for Bloating

Peppermint is one of the herbs that have been used since ages to cure stomach problems including indigestion and bloating. It’s aromatic oil, menthol, pushes bile secreted by liver to flow into the duodenum which in turn promotes better digestion. Menthol is also known to be a good antispasmodic meaning it calms your muscles of digestive system. It’s not a coincidence that your grandma gives you peppermint to cure those cramps in your stomach.
You will need:
• Fresh mint leaves- 4-5 (or use 1 tsp of dried mint)
• Water- 1 cup
• Sugar or honey (optional)- to taste
Directions to make mint tea:
• Boil the water.
• Add mint to it.
• Let it steep for 5 minutes.
• Pour the tea in a cup discarding the leaves.

Have 2-3 cups of mint tea to get relief from bloating.

Ginger root Tea for Bloating

Just like menthol of peppermint, gingerol and shagaol along with other volatile oils present in ginger helps digestion and relieves you from bloating. Ginger is also a fine muscle relaxant and thus relieves gases trapped in your digestive system helping in flatulence. So make yourself ginger tea.

Amazing Facts about Watermelon....

Watermelon is one of the most popular and delicious summer fruits that almost everyone loves. Watermelon is low in calories (it has 46 calories per cup) and high in vitamins A and C (it provides 17 percent of your daily Vitamin A intake and 20 percent of your daily Vitamin C intake.) Watermelon is also rich in dietary fiber and potassium. While there’s a strong debate over whether watermelon is a vegetable or a fruit, many of us consider watermelon to be both. If you want to learn a few amazingly interesting facts about watermelon, keep reading…

1. Watermelon boosts brain power
Did you know that watermelon can help you boost your brain power? The thing is, watermelon is an excellent source of Vitamin B6, which is vital for normal brain function. Moreover, the water percentage in this delicious fruit is similar to the water percentage in the brain.

2. It has a high water content
Watermelon has an extremely high water content. According to the USDA, watermelon is 91.5 percent water, which means that this fruit can help you stay hydrated throughout the day. Eating watermelon or drinking watermelon juice each day is one of the most delicious ways to stay hydrated during this season, isn’t it?

3. It contains about 40 percent more lycopene than raw tomatoes
A cup of watermelon contains 1.5 times more lycopene than a large fresh tomato. Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant that helps prevent the free radicals from causing cell damage and can improve your immune system. Moreover, this powerful antioxidant has been shown to lower the risk of cancer in the body.

4. It’s good for your eyes
Watermelon is packed with Vitamin A, which is great for your eyes. It helps to boost your eyesight power and it protects your eyes from various infections. Consume about 100 grams of watermelon each day to keep your eyes healthy and your eyesight sharp.

5. Watermelon juice can reduce muscle soreness
Numerous studies show that watermelon juice can help to reduce muscle soreness, so it’s a great drink after an extremely tiring workout. The thing is, watermelon is one of the highest sources of citrulline, which helps to improve artery function and reduce blood pressure. If you have a muscle soreness, consider drinking water juice. Though, I recommend you to consult your doctor first.

6. It helps with weight loss
Eating watermelon is a tasty and frugal way to cleanse your body and drop a few unwanted pounds. As I mentioned above, watermelon is low in calories and high in water and this helps with weight loss. Watermelon makes a great base for homemade smoothies and the perfect snack between meals as it provides the body with lots of minerals and water.

7. It protects from UV rays
Watermelon is high in lycopene, a carotenoid pigment that boasts powerful antioxidant properties. Lycopene helps to protect you against UV rays, sunburn and skin cancer. I think it’s an important reason to incorporate some watermelon into your daily diet.

Watermelon is an awesome fruit that boasts plenty of incredible health benefits. Summer is the perfect time to enjoy this tasty and healthy fruit.- Yoga Pons.

Which is better-- Drinking ice cold water or hot water.....

Very cold ice water or very hot water is not good for anyone. Moderately cold water is good for people living in hot and humid places. For those having Pitta (fire) body type, people who suffer from excessive sweating, burning sensation during summer, ice water is a good option. Cold water is also said to be absorbed more quickly than hot water in the body after or during exercise and helps in preventing dehydration.
Luke warm water is ideal for those who suffer from cough, cold, asthma, allergic attacks and people who feel that their hands and feet are cold. It is also great for those who live in cold climatic conditions or during winters. Warm water is said to remove built up deposits that are responsible for creating negative thoughts and emotions in our nervous system. Thus it helps in effective removal of toxins which leads to better clarity of mind.
It is considered ideal to take a cup of warm water usually one hour after dinner, if you are a normal, healthy person without any of the above mentioned afflictions.
Note: The water must not be so hot that it can scald your mouth and throat, but it should be warm enough to produce a mild perspiration.
