Often people begin meditating (dhyana) by noticing the breath (pranayama), then thoughts brought back to the breath for quieting the mind (pratyahara) allowing for present moment attention (dharana). In western culture these preparatory practices have become known as meditation (dhyana). The importance of breath awareness (samadhi) is a Classic Karma practice when breathing (pranayama) is living utilized for power during Physical-practice (Hatha)!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">The most commonly known values of the Sentient-plexus/energy system chakras are: 1.) having 2.) feeling 3.) physical activity (PA) 4.) loving & being loved 5.) listening & speaking 6.) thinking & knowing 7.) stillness & being of the subtle body as well as the less commonly known gross body practices of twelve systems recycling around such as 8.) privacy 9.) intimacy/optimacy, 10.) ultimacy 11.) efficacy/advocacy and 12.) agency. </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">The chakras are located at the 1.) coccygeal plexus (muladhara) 2.) sacral plexus (swadishtahna) 3.) solar plexus (manipura) 4.) cardiac-pulmonary plexus (anahata) 5.) brachial plexus (vissudha) 6.) cavernous-cerebral plexus (ajna) and 7.) coronal plexus (sahasrara) as well as 8.) above 9.) beyond 10.) connecting 11.) helping and 12.) holding. </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">To give attention (dharana), the precursor of dhyana, according to Nischala Joy Devi spoken at a </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">2020 IAYT Conference</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"> author of <i>Healing Path...,</i> "visualize (plexus-sentience) chakras". A Hatha meditative practice holding or flowing between chest expansion and contraction poses (asana) and or movements (vinyasa) noticing diaphragmatic expansion and contraction breaths (pranayama) inhaling for a count of four and exhaling for a count of 12-16, visualizing the cardiac-pulmonary plexus (Anahta chakra) and the color green thinking "the right to love and be loved with equanimity', studying "free and responsible ways of understanding </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">(yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhyana, samadhi)",</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"> affirming (mantra/japa), "an attitude of gratitude and generosity, graciously thankful to lead and follow the heart, soul searching for True-self-arising (Brahmin, Atman, Parusha)!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">By following principles of the life-force, source, essence, sheaths and or veils etc. known as, Pancha-maya-kosha, five protections from illusion for longevity, vitality, mentality, intellectuality and spirituality a person can practice the Bio-enviro-psychi-socio-philosophical model of (Self)care provided by yoga therapists. </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Subtle breaths are mindful (udana), bodily (asana), core sustaining (sanyana), ever present (vyana) and nose only (yoga) without mouth breathing breaths keeping the locomotive 'steam energy' within without displacement, naturally filtering the air helpful to safety, especially important when social distancing is not intact, energy (prana) in from the environment breaths are also a subtlety.

The Jnana Mudra is practiced with the thumb and index finger pads touching with all other fingers facing up, a similar Mudra with palms facing up and fingers forward is often seen in sukhasana or easy sitting pose with legs crossed when meditating (dhyana). Other mudras include thumb and middle finger pads touching to signify Raja and thumb and pinky fingers touching denote Bhakti with a held fist being the sign of complete control*!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Seed-sounds (biju) are Sanskrit terms whereas one sound summarizes a set of affirmations (mantra). When strung together mantras are known as japa (visualizing the islands of Japan to remember the sanskrit term). For example the seed sound "Yahm" affirms (mantra/japa), "Air, Alive, Arrive, Live, Love, Survive, Thrive; Pranayama".

Integral responsibilities include civil (yama), polite (niyama), posture (asana), breath (pranayama), holding-tension (Pratyahara), attention (dharana), meditation (dhyana) and living-meditation (samadhi). Indispensable values are 1.) Earth/coccygeal plexus (muladhara) 2.) water/sacral plexus (swadishtahana) 3.) fire/solar plexus (manipura) 4.) air/cardiac-pulmonary plexus (anahatha) 5.) sound/brachial-pharyngeal plexus (visshuddha) 6.) light/cavernous-cerebral plexus (Jana) 7.) ether/coronal plexus (sahasrara) - into the recycle system - 8.) space/above 9.) metal/beyond 10.) electrical/connection 11.) gas/around & 12.) wooded/grounds. Inspiring principles include longevity, vitality, mentality, intellectuality & spirituality. The pleasure (sukha) of harmonizing holistic health is an intensive self-care known as Lifestyle Medicine!</p><p>The responsibilities of ashtanga consider the yamas, civil societal norms or social-restraints, one of those being Brahmacharya important to Lifestyle Medicine/Management. The specific responsibility of brahmacharya can be translated as, 'without touching' or more broadly as, 'resisting', other translations include without controlling, without addiction and celibacy, possibly accounting for the prevention of nymphomania and rape. The book, <i>The Language of Yoga</i>, translates brahmacharya as, "appropriate use of one's vital energy". Remembering civil codes of honor (yamas) like brahmacharya may be helpful to resisting for nothing less than safe, consentual, compassionate care!</p><p>Lifestyle medicine inclusive of brahmacharya can improve the safety of populations helpfully reducing incidents of disease. Social Distancing (brahmacharya) and coverings are protective norms in some cultures which Eastern religious (Islamic) women, during outings, utilize. Yoga Sessions helpful to acquiring a lifestyle of playful equanimity throughout the day can progress interests periodizing teachable moments when loving to learn yamas, like brahmacharya, can readily occur keeping students attentive (Dharana). Brahmacharya is a helpful teaching tool during Classic Physical (Hatha), Knowledgable (Jnana), Cultivated (Raja), Causative (Karma) and Reverent (Bhakti) Practices in learning to work/live (Samadhi) for world-peace (shanti)! </p><p>Brahmacharya a loyal lifestyle including a habit of self-care reduces symptoms of disease (dukha) increasing outcomes of ease (sukha) when pleasurable trustworthy (satya) feelings can accumulate. Research compiled by Dean Ornish's Lifestyle Medicine indicates 1.) marriage without a person's marital partner being their confidant is more successful for longevity then 2.) no marriage and no confidant while 3.) a loving monogamous relationship ultimately bound by marital confidence indicates the highest rates of longevity. Possibly a form of brahmacharya, healthy lifestyle choices and practices are encouraged such as safely holding your orgasmic plasma or that of your marital partner during coitus. Whereas marriage is normally a good sign of a loving relationship for feeling safe together, appreciating a no more than once daily practice, where-in Berkeley Health reported from WebMD stating, the happiest people are having sex once every two weeks! </p><div>Sentience paired with sapience (ojas~bindu) holding ovum/semen at the pelvic floor/perineum (mullah bandha) during orgasm without expelling or exchanging during intercourse requires a cohesive biological systematic "autonomic" functioning for longevity a biologically proficient physical body sustained by whole plant foods optimized by postures (asana). Correlating Brahmacharya with the anahatha chakra value four within the pancha-maya-kosha principles can improve civilized capillary exchange for energy (prana) begetting energy metabolizing nutrients as climaxing/exercising opens sensorineural pathways and a vie-a-vie integration for vitality (prana-maya-kosha) in an environment of subtle emotional energy sustained by air optimized by breaths enhancing power holistically. Mentality (mana-maya-kosha) sustained by thoughts (chitta) which are optimized by holding-tension (Pratyahara) cessating (unwanted) thoughts (chitta vritti nirodaha) whereby peace of mind often includes Yamas such as brahmacharya enhancing a psychologically wealthy mature mind protecting (Kosha) intellectuality (vijnana-maya-kosha). Therefore, keeping in mind brahmacharya while loving, correlating to the fourth value, is "the wealth to love and be loved, a maturity without taking anything personally and without taking anything for granted, a mindful equanimity" protects (Kosha) intellectuality, "the wisdom of freedom, the intelligence of responsible ways and the intuition of understanding" a social science sustained by hypothesis/theories optimized by attention (Dharana) to research/meta-analysis </div><p>Brahamacharya may be a warning, hopeful sign, healthy habit, moderate key and or other inclination. Yet, for spirituality sustained by prayer, talking to the universe and everything, correlating the fourth value japa known at Yoga Training (Touch) as, "an attitude of gratitude and generosity, graciously thankful to lead and follow the heart while soul searching for True-self arising (brahmin, atman, parusha)" is loving. Optimized by meditation (dhyana), listening to the universe and everything, brahmacharya as well as other classic practice responsibilities can enhance a philosophically and or theologically happy blissful spirit. Affirming the fourth chakra value within pancha-maya-kosha the modern mantra summary is, "Air Alive Live Love Survive Thrive"!</p>Yoga Training (Touch) with Yoga Therapist Kathryn (Katie) A.

One limb accommodates civility, ethics and restraints (yamas) likened to living with safe rules (vrata) that protect S/society and therefore S/self. Brahmacharya one branch/digit included on the yama limb can be known as, without being limited to, monogamy without promiscuity, civil union without addictions, loyalty without controlling that may be especially helpful when without a lifepartner for a lifestyle. Brahmacharya is literally translated as “walking in the light of God” as mentioned in </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Yamas & Niyamas, Exploring Yoga’s Ethical Practice</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">².

Furthermore, longevity connected as a biological aspect to Bio-enviro-psycho-socio-philosophical (pancha-maya-kosha) principles decreases when a person is not married and is without a life partner - that is when having sex is as unsafe as living a life without intimacy. Practicing brahmacharya works for people who are not married and do not have a confidant in helping mitigate infection and morbidity rates by replacing intercourse with a chaste active lifestyle, not discluding an intimate no more than once daily routine for the Western Law of ‘what is in motion stays in motion’⁵ whereas energy begets energy. Engaging in sex is healthy to partners in marital bliss where as brahmacharya is effective for practitioners of self-care during abstention.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Albeit, tactile reassurance (touch) has its place while brahmacharya translated as 'without touching’, ‘hands to yourself’ and ‘safe space' is a respectful direction/redirection furthering civility. In the article, “14 Reasons You Should Have Sex Now”, as published on WebMD⁶ it states having sex one time per week lowers risk of illness, and sexual intercourse no more than once every two weeks improves happiness, while a sexual connection improves memory, but only for married people. Even the National Institute of Health (NIH), where research matters, carries the popular story, “Viagra (pharmaceutical that improves erectile function) associated with reduced risk of Alzheimer’s disease”⁷. In the U.S. and around the world marriage is the gold standard, without infidelity (brahmacharya) being a safe lifestyle choice, normally a good sign of a healthy loving relationship and a way people feel safe together as coitus is a celebration of peace.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Brahmacharya is similar to without raping or pilaging the environment of natural resources when thinking (and symbolic) of the Sky [God, male, man, zest energy (ha)] and Earth [Goddess, female, woman, zen energy (ta)] as givers and sustainers of cosm. Nature teaches that when animals are safe they evenly space and spawn without bunches to graze and reproduce peacefully. Social distancing (brahmacharya) and mandates from the World Health Organization (WHO)⁸ likened to blooms and hand gestures (mudras) on symbolic limbs are wonderful best practices for civic responsibility during pandemics, like COVID-19. Holistic Health is informed by safe (vrata) practices inspired by civility (yama); noticing nature’s goodness can be a Living-meditation (Samadhi) wherein best practices, specifically inspired by brahmacharya, naturally occur.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Corresponding ashtanga responsibilities specific to the branch/digit of brahmacharya and generally to any ashtanga practice can improve awareness (samadhi). A Oneness may be more noticeable when chakra value correlations connect panchamayakosha principles to integrate, adjust and unify. The book The Language of Yoga by Niccoli Bachman lists the Ashtanga yamas, with five known examples, the fourth listed example known as brahmacharya is, “appropriate use of one’s vital energy”⁹; there is not necessarily an order to the Limbs (Ashtanga) or branches/digits as placement can occur in any order specific to a book, author and processes furthering Individual & Ultimate Truth (Vidya). Brahmacharya, as with all Ashtanga practices, is a responsibility known to correlate through Sentient-plexi (Chakra) values and connect Bio-enviro-psycho-socio-philosophical (Pancha-maya-kosha) principles.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Understanding through Chakra¹⁰/¹¹ values as well as adjusting/connecting to Pancha-maya-kosha¹² principles, Classic practice [Physical (Hatha), Mental (Jnana), Cultivation (Rajas), Causative (Karma) and Revered (Bhakti)] Ashtanga responsibilities like brahmacharya can branch or gesticulate enlightenment. A renowned psychologist/philosopher has said, “...resting in unity…can honor diversity”¹³ able to inform a multitude of best practices for honoring individual spirituality while respecting world religions revealing anandamayakosha, whereas a general ease (sukha) of responsibilities (ashtanga) cultivating (rajas) embodiment through values (chakras) and adjusting to principles (panchamayakosha) emanates, in the case of brahmacharya from an influential intermediary place, as an aura between macro and microcosms. Brahmacharya may be most relevantly correlated to the values from the bottom up, of the First Coccygeal-plexus (Muladhara chakra) the color red, Fourth Cardiopulmonary-plexus (Anahata-chakra) the color green and Seventh Coronal-plexus (Sahasrara-chakra) and the color white or clear. Brahmacharya can be understood as within an intermediary auric-field to panchamaykosha benefiting the soul source, force and essence sometimes known as veils or sheaths protecting inner bliss (anandamayakosha)¹⁴. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Brahmacharya, generally corresponds to Muladhara, the 1st chakra value correlating civil-societal-norms (yamas) and connected aurically. The Anahata 4th chakra value, specifically corresponding to brahmacharya when thought to be the 4th yama, generally adjusts </span><span style="color: #434343; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">from vitality for an environment of subtle emotional energy (prana-mayakosha)</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. Sahasrara the 7th Chakra specifically correlates to the literal translation of brahmacharya adjusting deep within pancamayakosha, and outermost, to philosophical and or theological principles for protection from illusion (ananada-mayakosha) corresponding more generally to the Ashtanga limb of meditating (dhyana) upon a happy blissful spirit¹⁵. Keeping brahmacharya in mind during Modern Mantra¹⁶ dhyana through a summation to the values of 1.) Generous Genuine Gifted Gracious Grateful-groups 4.)

Recuperative Rejuvenative Restorative Tranquil Transcendent-transformation can enliven life (samadhi).</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Observing the civility (yama) of brahmacharya within a polite (niyama) atmosphere unveiling anandamayakosha utilizing a string of affirmations (japa) can make an excellent meditation (dhyana). For example, without necessarily occurring in any particular order, align (asana), breathe (pranayama), withdraw-tension (pratyahara) and visualize (dharana). Imagine a beautiful red color at the first coccygeal plexus (muladhara chakra), utilizing a 1:4 ratio breath (pranayama) inhaling one second exhaling four seconds affirming (japa), “Have ahimsa, without harm, share the joy”. At the 4th cardiac-pulmonary plexus (anahata chakra) visualize the color green, inhale four counts exhale sixteen counts affirm, “Gracefully thankful for an attitude of gratitude and generosity while soul searching for True-Self-Arise (Brahmin, Atman, Parusha, Id)”. Finally utilizing a 7:28 breath count visualize clear/white at the 7th coronal plexus (sahasrara chakra) with the japa, “Dare to dream, peace is possible (shanti)”. Best practices bloom and hold forth from examples like brahmacharya realizing ways to celebrate peace for harmonizing responsibilities, values and principles whereas awareness (samadhi) keeps Azt(h)anga relevant and people/practitioners (w)holistically healthy!</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Works Cited</span></p><ol style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-inline-start: 48px;"><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; list-style-type: decimal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Jaya Kumar, Swamee Sree.

The body is physically-proficient, energy is subtly-emotional, mind is wealthy-mature, intellect is intuitively-wise and spirit is happily-blissful.

In the West, Ashtanga Power Yoga is known to be founded by K. Pattabhi Jois (1915-2009). The term Ashtanga can be recently translated as Eight-practices of Awareness, Oneness, wholeness or Holistic Health arising from the dead language of Sanskrit (Latin of the East) possibly brought in part, to the West by Crusaders being cloistered and shared by intellectual-elites/priests for spiritual well-being. Ashtanga is helpful to all the Yoga Classics including and not limited to Physical (Hatha), Causation (Karma), Knowledgeable (Jnana), Cultivation (Raja) and Reverence (Bhakti) achieved via the general scope of practices including <b>civil (yamas), polite (niyamas), posture (asana), breath (pranayama), holding-tension (pratyahara), attention (dharana), meditation (dhyana) and living-meditation (samadhi)</b>. The eight classic practices (ashtanga) branch from generalized to specialized niche or scope practices, whereas interpreting and providing self-care or individualized care symbolic of leaves and flowers, for being alive with the fruits of yoga (therapy) is supported, rooting from the ground-up via interconnected existence and vie-a-vie from the top-down; an evolving evolution/liberation! </p><p>Hatha is the most modern Classic Yoga, having emerged during medieval times^, encompassing other Western 'styles' of Yoga Physical Activity (PA). Karma can be understood with the example of, "I breathe therefore I live", Jnana is careful Self-realization, while Raja is promotion occurring when Good for the Self is helpful to many, and Bhakti is known to it's practitioners as Love. Classic Practice responsibilities are highly correlated, think 3D views, to Sentient Plexus (Chakra) Values and Bio-enviro-psychi-socio-philosophical (Pancha-maya-kosha) Principles. Hatha can be translated as pose (ha) counterpose (t(h)a) with postural (asana) movements as medicine!</p><p><b>Civility, ethics & restraints (yamas)</b> include:</p><p></p><ul><li> <span style="font-family: Helvetica;">the number one Eastern premise known as the Golden Rule - </span>without-harming (ahimsa)</li><li>without-deceit (satya), without-cheating (astaya)</li><li>without-controlling (brahmacharya) </li><li>without-possessiveness (aparigraha)</li></ul><p><b>Polite, morals & austerities (niyamas) </b>include: </p><p></p><p></p><ul><li>clean & pure (saucha) for as my mother would say "cleanliness is next to Holiness (Wholeness)", in as much as a clean body and spaces are helpful to a pure spirit and clear mind</li><li>Content & patient (santosha) having learned that "Patience is a virtue"</li><li>being & changing (tapas)</li><li>self-study & studiousness (svadhyaya)</li><li>serene-determination & faith (ishvarapranidhana) solving and welcoming the mystery of life</li></ul><p>Sustained by whole plant powered foods is <b>asana</b> translated as p<b>osture, poise & pose</b> with Classic subtle alignments are the:</p><p></p><p></p><ul><li>holds</li><ul><li>insteps of feet (pada bandha) supporting legs and the body </li><li>pelvic-floor/perinium (mulah bandha) supporting pelvis </li><li>core (Udiyana bandha) supporting torso </li><li>upper back (rhomba bandha) supporting chest -a Yoga Training (Touch) original*</li><li>neck (jalandhara bandha) supporting the head </li><li>hands (hasta bandha) supporting objects, arms and the body<br /></li></ul></ul><p><br /></p><div>Sustained by Oxygention<b> </b>is <b>pranayama </b>translated as <b>energy & breath</b> with Classic subtle breaths drawing out the exhalation for relaxation known as: </div><div><ul><li>parasympathetic</li><ul><li>apana for bodily process and digestion</li><li>viyana being ever present, especially of the reproductive organs</li><li>sanyana are core sustaining breaths occurring when other parts of the body receive less oxygenation in emergency situations</li><li>prana is energy in from the environment</li><li>yoga breaths are polite nose only breaths, without mouth breathing</li><li>udana is a mindful process breaths to the appendages;

In the Yoga Therapy model intuition is an aspect of sociology where theoretical feelings, such as feelings of equanimity (anahata), are validated by populations world-wide. Scientific research proofs when mathematically speaking, according to dictionary.com, are a way of understanding “in which there is an identity element that, on operating on another element, leaves the second element unchanged, and in which each element has corresponding to it a unique element that, on operating on the first, results in the identity element.” A verification by multiple groups is known as meta-analysis whereas correct correlations support theories. The UE Group of researchers at regroup.com eloquently states, "...success metrics, preferences, and ratings gathered from quantitative research helps validate and inform... By adding qualitative research takes it a step further, uncovering the motivations, behaviors and emotions..." An awe inspiring intelligence can be miraculous when allegedly unreplicatable revelations or unknown ancient practices are wisely accepted becoming future endeavors as intuition touches the soul💟</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Finally, inspire (small) miracles with </span><span style="-webkit-text-decoration-skip: none; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">classic practice</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> references in parentheses by noticing a </span><span style="background-color: #d9ead3; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">happy blissful spirit</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> through </span><span style="-webkit-text-decoration-skip: none; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">chakra correlations</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.

Relaxing (pratyahara) into strength is a surrendered determination which is comforting during long isometric holds. Focused attraction (dharana), often at the sight of muscular improvements may help in staying attentive (dhyana) during strength poses or thinking about the benefits of being strong, like helping with tasks. A Oneness or Holistic strength of being able is felt through to the bones with a density that lives on (see Yoga Lift); om namah shivaya!</span></div>

Both languages are ancient considered “dead” rather than extinct as extinct languages no longer have any speakers. Dead languages are often adopted, not usually native to the speaker. Languages adopted by a community, spoken by practitioners for the sake of stability and unity survive.</span></div>

Speakers of dead languages are caring for the language to remain alive. Dead languages remain when the words notate love, understanding, caring, kindness and compassion. Dead languages have special unique qualities understood by the speakers and listeners of the language embodied by a sense of having, feeling, doing, loving, speaking/listening, knowing and being. </span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Sanskrit carries forth intentions (sankalpa) with intimate communities or relationships among speakers ultimately thriving upon the efficacy of words with inspiration optimally grounding and centering success. Hebrew is a language that has been revived due to the formation of a Nation State and Cornish has moved from the extinct list to critically endangered when 3500 claimed native speakers were recognized by UNESCO¹</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. The hope expressed in reviving languages is as optimistic of the kindness and compassion found by people caring for the welfare of endangered species of animals; when the option is extinction, speaking a dead language is known by speakers and listeners as an atmosphere of love.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Tapas</span><br />

<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">❣️</span><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Hatha Yoga pronounced hah tah is a Physical Practice of uniting opposites; pose (asana) counterpose, standing and sitting, prone and supine asana and movements (vinyasa) of strength, balance and flexibility. </span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 16px;">Ashtanga or Eight Ways, of perfecting awareness, are Classical Practices including precepts (niyamas). Discipline (t</span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">apas) is a</span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small;"> niyama of </span><span style="font-family: helvetica;">ashtanga</span><span style="font-family: helvetica;">. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small;">The language of Yoga is Sanskrit (to learn more read the "Sanskrit" Blog). </span><span style="font-family: helvetica;">A more literal translation of tapas is, “practice changing heat”¹. </span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small;">Many of us appreciate attending to our needs whether rest and relaxation (zen) or </span><span style="font-family: helvetica;">activation</span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small;"> and movement (zest).</span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small;">Tapas is a way of regulating heat. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: helvetica;">Exercise, movement, work and play, dancing, prancing and sway are forms of tapas. Body Type (Dosha) responses to trainings are beneficial, for example Lift Sessions ground, center and improve bone density balancing vata's small build, Basic Sessions help balance pitta's medium build, and the extra flow and go of Power Sessions balance kapha. All Trainings have specific benefits helping improve more than a person's body type.

<span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: helvetica;">T</span><span style="font-family: helvetica;">ranslating tapas as a way of cultivating good with optimistic discipline is acceptable. For example completing a Hatha yoga routine can be considered good while knowing the way of optimism, with a smile helps. </span><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Letting go of the illusions of immaturity for the protections of a wealthy mature mind (mano-maya-kosha) may initially feel difficult, yet being able to wait, reevaluate and follow-through with spiritual growth has greater amounts of freedom; tapas to the rescue❣️</span><br />

Support the body, hugging upper arms (Biceps and Triceps) towards the ribcage by contracting Serratus muscles, under the armpits, and Pectorals muscles of the chest, lift the body by stacking bones, aligning wrists below elbows using Gecko fingers or Starfish hands (Hasta Bandha) to protect the wrists; lifting out of joints by engaging muscles abates arthritis. Squeeze low back muscles (Latissimus Dorsi) and buttox muscles (Gluteaus Maximus, Minimus, and Medius), lengthening legs upward contracting the muscles (Hamstrings and Quadriceps) of the back and front of the legs. Try throat breaths (Ujjayi Pranayama) to engage the parasympathetic, relaxation (Pratyahara) response to hold (santosha) the pose, focus (Dharana) on closing the throat slightly, keep focusing (Dhyana) on the eight limbs of responsibility (ethics, morals), pose (strength, balance, flexibility), breath (counting), relaxation (parasympathetic response/prefrontal cortex engagement), focus (one pointed), meditation (continual focus), perfection (keep practicing/upward spiral)! </span></div>

Yoga Planks known as Hovers in the Fitness Industry are excellent core strengtheners! Practicing Hovers prone (caturanga dandasana), supine (Purvottanasana), and to each side (Vasisthasana) create cohesive body strength, balance, and flexibility. Actively recover in Down Dog Pose (Adhomukha Svanasana) or Child/Wisdom Pose (Balasana) before your next set. Look for the Plank (Chaturanga Dandasana) video to come!</span></div>

One of the best ways of helping the environment is valuing vegetables. Eating plant based protein is the number one way of reducing green house gases while still an excellent way of improving muscle, collagen, and human growth hormone (HGH) function!</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
Replace eating animals with beans and quinoa, one of the grains highest in protein. Edamame is a full protein without having to add grain. Mix your favorite tasting grains and beans until you love the taste of your highest protein choice, I like adding curry making a delicious Dahl!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
Proteins, fats, and carbohydrates are essential nutrients! Edamame, beans and quinoa (traditionally beans and rice) are excellent protein choices. Nuts and seeds are mostly fats. Vegetables, fruits, and grains are carbohydrates (if you are underweight include more grains). Satiety, feeling satisfied, occurs when eating proteins, fats, and carbs together at one time. Eating with gusto, enjoyment, and pleasure, is my favorite way, while curbing flatulence by eating slower!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
Remember value vegetables! If you are battling any bulge you can eat as many greens (think salad without sauce) as your snacking heart desires. Fresh is best!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
Your body will thank you! Liver function improves, fat dissipates (remember to exercise daily with a good dose of Kriya (See Sessions and Pricing at the side bar of www.yogatrainingtouch.com). Good Luck!</div>

Peace of mind is a way of zoning in during zen! After rest put bliss to the test with zest. Wage peace while celebrating life; tuning in and turning on! </div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: helvetica; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: helvetica; line-height: normal;">
According to <i>T</i>he <i>Yoga Sutras</i> of Patanjali written over 2500 years ago and translated by Sri Swami Satchidananda, "Yogas citta vrtti nirodah”, yoga is the ending of mindless chatter, or peace of mind! Classic Yoga also known as Astanga or Raja Yoga has eight ways or steps for cultivating peace of mind known as the eight limbs of yoga. Peace of mind is super consciousness; absorbing (samadhi) beneficial effects! </div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: helvetica; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: helvetica; line-height: normal;">
The eight “limbs” or steps include, 1.) Ethic (Yama), 2.) Moral (Niyams) 3.) Pose (Asana), 4.) Breath (Pranayama), 5.) Relaxation (Pratiyahara) 6.) Focus (Dhyarna), 7.) Meditation (Dhyana) and 8.) Absorption or Super-Consciousness (Samadhi)! According to some styles the eight limbs do not have to be followed in any particular order; the first two limbs, one and two, are ways of leading a principled life the next two limbs, three and four, prepare us for, five and six, further development and the seventh limb culminates the eighth, a reward. The reward of super-consciousness from practice, on the mat, into our daily lives and vice versa!</div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: helvetica; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: helvetica; line-height: normal;">
The ten responsibilities of the yamas and niyamas, or principles mentioned in Patanjali's Sutras are: 1.) not harming 2.) honesty 3.) not taking 4.) not addicted (resisting) 5.) not possessive 6.) clean 7.) content 8.) disciplined 9.) studious and 10.) faithful! Preparing ourselves with 1.) standing, 2.) prone, 3.) hand/forearm-balancing, 4.) sitting, 5.) supine/inverted poses (asana) for strength, balance, and flexibility. Asanas are correlated with breaths (pranayama) for 1.) strength, balance, flexibility, relaxation (pratyahara) and focus (dharana). Development of relaxation eases us towards greater focus of mind, body, and spirit. Culminating as one from the eight limbs of yoga practice meditation (dhyana) is perfecting super-consciousness, absorbing (samadhi) the effects!</div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 12px;">Samadhi can be a state of bliss (anandamayakosha), our most core, inner True Self (Atman)! The whole package includes physical (annamaya), energetic (pranamya), mental (manomaya) and intellectual (vijnamaya) as well as blissful protections (koshas). Samadhi, heaven on Earth, may be comparable to Nirvana; simple consciousness, being present in the moment is a gift of Love (God), for inner peace and harmony!</span>Yoga Training (Touch) with Yoga Therapist Kathryn (Katie) A.

Confused by the diagnosis, she claims she was never told by her Doctor that she is obese. Obesity is a precursor of Type II Diabetes.<br />
<br />
Later, when having the chance to speak with an MD friend I told her about the surprise diagnosis. My friend, the MD claimed, people know when they're obese and said it has to do with carbohydrate loading. I knew through my experience with Alternative Healing as an E-RYT that people may not know they're obese, mistaking themselves to be overweight and a healthy balance of proteins, fats and carbohydrates is key to feeling at home in your body (temple) along with healthy food choices (fresh is best), portions (less loading) and daily movement (intensity inclusive).<br />
<br />
The MD stated any BMI over 30 is considered obese. A BMI is a person's weight to height ratio when multiplying weight times 703/height. For example a BMI of 18 is found by w(703/h)/h = 115 lbs x 703/5'7"(5x12+7)/67. Furthermore, research indicates the less a person weighs, in their healthy range, the greater the person's longevity (healthy life expectancy)!<br />
