Yoga for the modern-day man

As a child, I grew up watching cartoon characters like Superman, Popeye and Hercules. These men were brave, strong and ever helpful. Whatever be the catastrophe, they would always turn up and defeat the bad guys, no matter whatever the size of their foe. As a child, I idolized them and always wanted to be strong like them. I do realize now that it's not humanly possible to fly or lift huge boulders with bare hands, but I stillbelieve that one can definitely work their way to having a strong body like these supermen.

Strong arms – The yoga way!

“I remember watching Arnold Schwarzenegger’s documentary Pumping Iron when I was a school boy. The sheer size of his muscles left me wondering if it was humanly possible to achieve anything even close to those huge arms and shoulders. The coming years saw hours spent at the local gym trying to get a good chiseled body. As the scene shifted from classroom to workplace, so did the meaning of a good chiseled body. And what was left of that ambition was to keep the tummy line in check. My arms were never that strong and always had problem doing push-ups and pull ups.

Stop the emotional yo-yo with Yoga

Often, when you sit to pause through a busy day, we can count the different moments we live throughout the day. The moments of being angry, being lost, being mad at someone, feeling lonely, lost and the laundry list doesn’t end here. Sometimes, it goes from one end to another end of a tissue roll. The lucky ones are those who sit back, reconcile with themselves for a minute or two to go through the happenings of the day and can move on. For some others, it’s like living on the edge.
