Free Online Yoga Videos from YogaYak

In my quest to find a way to remain active during the somewhat sedentary winter months, I came across YogaYak.  They offer a host of instructional videos for yoga, meditation, and Pranayama.

If you are unfamiliar with yoga, Wikipedia defines it as a traditional meditative practice and both physical and mental discipline which originated in India. "Yoga has been studied as an intervention for many conditions, including for pain, stress, and depression."

I recommend beginning with YogaYak's Hatha Yoga 1 video shown above. It is a beginning class which guides you through each asana (posture) and ensures that your practice can grow as you advance through the video series.

Be sure to drink a cup of neutral temperature water just prior to and immediately following your practice.

Namaste

Freecycling (Free Recycling)

Freecycling, which is sometimes referred to as Free Recycling, is the act of giving others your usable, unwanted items rather than throwing them away.  Take a look around you, perhaps you have some items cluttering your home which could be used by another.  And, it works both ways; so if there is something specific you are lacking, post a "Wanted Ad."

These sites made Freecycling (Free Recycling) a cinch for me, personally:
http://www.freecycle.org/
http://www.craigslist.org/about/sites (Select your area. Under For Sale, select Free)

Wikipedia also suggests the following sites:
http://www.reuseitnetwork.org/#groupinfo
http://recyclinggroupfinder.com/
http://trashnothing.com/

Have a great night, Babel.

                     Question: If the music is free, how do the artists make money?

Answer: Artists still make money via live concerts and hard copy CDs.  Not to mention, there are many artists who make music for the sake of making music- not for profits. If your favorite artist is whining about not making enough money, maybe it is time for them to find a new career.

Now that you have that, why not hook your computer to your stereo and crank your favorite tunes...
