<br />
Happy New Year!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For all of you who missed January 1st, </div>
<div>
welcome the Lunar New Year, February 19th!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I share my lucky photo of the new year, </div>
<div>
Mt. Fuji among the clouds. According to the </div>
<div>
Japanese tradition, it is lucky to see Mt. Fuji </div>
<div>
in your first dream of the new year. </div>
<div>
If you take enough time looking at this photo,</div>
<div>
Mt. Fuji just may appear in your dreams.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This image really gives me inspiration, that I can rise up into the clouds, to achieve my wildest dreams, </div>
<div>
and yet my strong base is planted deep in the earth,</div>
<div>
like the huge mountain herself. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My keywords for 2015:</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Balance</div>
<div>
Luxury</div>
<div>
Focus</div>
<div>
Dreams</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What are your keywords? </div>
<div>
What kind of year do you want to have? </div>
<div>
What do you envision for 2015? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I found this beautiful and poignant phrase: (read from right to left) </div>
<div>
samurai spirit, businessman's skill </div>
<div>
This epitomizes the Japanese work ethic and a core principle that guides all of the Japanese society.</div>
<div>
I want to rewrite this for myself</div>
<div>
瑜(ゆ)魂商才</div>

There really is something so quietly </span><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px;">spectacular about the few days when the city explodes in clouds of light pink and white. </span><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px;">The fact that it ends in a few days makes it all the more beautiful, a kind of beauty that </span><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px;">perhaps only Japanese people can truly appreciate. </span><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px;">To commemorate the beginning of mother nature's new year, I would like to start a chakra journey, </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px;">beginning with the Root Chakra. As you may know, there are 7 main chakras, energy spots or "oases" </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px;">that run from the base of the spine to the top of the head. Each chakra is associated with </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px;">a different element and kind of energy, as well as corresponding psychological(精神的な)problems. </span><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px;">Each month, we will focus on a different chakra. I hope you can join us to discover the </span><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px;">unique qualities of each chakra, and how to balance each one for optimum mental and physical health. </span><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px;">We will start with the Root Chakra, at the perineum (会陰). </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px;">The Spotlight Pose this month is the Tree Pose, </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px;">as the Root Chakra is associated with the legs and feet, as well as stability. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px;">Balance poses are difficult for many, including myself, but with practice, any pose can be done. </span></span><br />

With Practice. (Guided meditation Mp3 - Check it out!!) <span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Dear Yogis,</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Happy Lunar New Year!</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Another fresh start, another chance to make some changes,</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">to stick to what you want to do.

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Funny isn't it that doing nothing is so hard! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Like anything, </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">it requires practice.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;">Dear Yogis, </span><br style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;">December has arrived, and that means only one month left of 2013. It's a busy time, </span><br style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;">when we try to finish up everything before the new year, which is why its even more important </span><span style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;">to take time for yourself, to relax and exercise. </span><br style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;">I have been keeping up with the promise to meditate daily, doing a little in the morning </span><br style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;">before work, during lunch break, or even on the train to work. Taking 10 to 30 minutes </span><br style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;">to quiet the mind and relax the body, just to listen to my inner voice, has become very </span><br style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;">enjoyable. It helps me focus, be more alert, calm down, and find inspiration. </span><br style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;">Sometimes, if I just stop thinking about a problem and breathe, the answer will just come </span><br style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;">to me. I hope to do a little meditation during class, but I really encourage you to try it </span><br style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;">on your own. You may surprise yourself! </span><br style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;">●●● December Focus ●●● </span><br style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;">Keeping the kidneys strong and healthy </span><br style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;">The winter's dominant organs are the kidneys and the bladder. They control the water, </span><br style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;">which is the element of winter. Keeping the energy of the kidneys up is essential </span><br style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;">to staying healthy and energetic this season. </span><br style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;">We will be doing ear, leg, and foot massages in class. These areas are connected with </span><br style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;">the kidneys, so relieving tension in these areas helps to keep the kidneys clean and balanced. </span><br style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;">●●● Spotlight Pose ●●● </span><br style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;">The Gate Pose, Parighasana, is a side stretching pose. It helps strengthen and balance the </span><span style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;">kidneys by relieving tension in the muscles of the side body. </span><br style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;">●●● December Aroma ●●● </span><br style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-indent: 0px;">Warming cinnamon, soothing chamomile, and uplifting orange</span></span></div>

back (continue to roll it slightly forward), turn the upper torso away from the

As the season changes, it is very important to stay warm and strong, </span><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">especially as it gets colder.

Most bug sprays from the pharmacy contain all sorts of chemicals, including <a href="http://www.mercola.com/article/pesticides/deet.htm">DEET</a>. As with most chemicals that are added to products, it is highly toxic even in low concentrations. This means that they may not make us sick immediately, but over time these toxins build up in the body and make us ill.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
These days, due to the raised awareness of the toxicity of DEET, there are a variety of natural bug sprays on the market. You can also make your own! It is surprising easy, effective, and a fun project to do with friends or kids. I like the mix of aromas in this one.</div>

classes, we discussed and practiced meditation. There are a number of ways to
meditate, but the basic idea is: training the brain to concentrate on the
present moment. It’s interesting how even the simple task of counting 20
breaths can so easily be interrupted by our constant thoughts. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

a term used by people who meditate to mean slowing down the constant stream of
thoughts about things OTHER than what you are doing at the present moment.
Meditation is a technique that with practice can help you quiet the mind
throughout your day. Think of meditation as a tool you can use to gain improved
concentration, calmness in all situations, and a general feeling of happiness. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I am currently on day three of my meditation cycle. I
already feel calmer, more confident, and more energized. It’s very easy to put

a regular morning meditation practice. After a while, you will find it so
enjoyable that you won’t be able to stop. </div>

<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">April’s Focus:
Pranayama</b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As you
have probably noticed, we start every yoga class with a few minutes of seated
breathing. We also end our practice by focusing on our breath. The goal of
these exercises is to make us focus on our breath, throughout our practice, and
eventually throughout our lives. Focusing on breathing is what makes yoga
different from other exercises, and so much more transformative (<span lang="JA" style="font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-ascii-font-family: Century; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family: Century; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">変形させる力のある</span>).
Our breath can calm us, give us energy, and connect us with our deepest
self.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pranayama means rhythmic control (ayama)
of the breath (yama). Through pranayama exercises, we can learn how our breath
works, and how we can control it. Our breath is a mirror of our emotions, or
mental state. When we get scared or nervous, or excited, we tend to breathe
faster. Through the practice of breath control, we can become aware of these
changes in our breathing. Then, we can control, in many cases slow down and
deepen, our breathing. When our breathing is slow and deep, we feel calm and
comfortable. In this way, breath control can help us control our feelings. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In our last
class, we practiced Ujjayi, the victorious breath. You can imagine that a very
strong warrior breathes like this. A few students commented how it was
difficult, and seemed like they didn’t understand how to make the sound. This
is VERY natural, as breathing exercises are EVEN MORE difficult than moving
poses. But with a little practice, you will become more sensitive to your
breath and be able to do them. So let’s keep practicing and becoming more
aware.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">April’s Spotlight
Pose: The Locust (Salabhasana) <o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
Locust is a backbending (<span lang="JA" style="font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-ascii-font-family: Century; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family: Century; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">そる</span>)<span lang="JA" style="font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-ascii-font-family: Century; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family: Century; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> </span>pose. That means, it helps make our backs more flexible.
This pose focuses on the lower back and legs, so it also strengthens the legs
and buttocks muscles. There are many variations of this pose, which we will try
in each class. We will also be doing other exercises to strengthen and tone the
legs and buttocks. These poses require strength and effort, so expect to get
sore muscles (<span lang="JA" style="font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-ascii-font-family: Century; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family: Century; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">筋肉痛</span>) the next day!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You can also expect to develop stronger legs and a firmer buttocks. This

南雲先生はこの本で有名になりましたが、本当に興味深い本です。私にとっては一日一食が難しい。。。が食生活、特に一日にどれぐらい食べるのがヘルシーということについて大分考え直されました。とにかく、お腹が空くことを<b>怖がる</b>必要がないとわかりました。むしろ、お腹が空くことは<b>気持ちいい</b>と考えるようになりました。<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p> </o:p>With the warmth
of spring comes the suffering of hay fever or seasonal allergies (<span lang="JA" style="font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-ascii-font-family: Century; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family: Century; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">花粉症</span>). On
the train and at work we hear people sniffling and sighing, tired from allergy
medicine and too much sneezing. The sad part is, allergy medicine makes use
weaker, so that we need stronger allergy medicine as we get older. Fortunately,
we CAN strengthen our immunity (<span lang="JA" style="font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-ascii-font-family: Century; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family: Century; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">免疫力</span>) and relieve the symptoms of allergy with
yoga. Of course, yoga is what we call “slow medicine”, it takes time and
practice to work. But I assure you, the more you practice the better you will
feel. Yoga may also be used WITH medicine to make it more effective.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I used to suffer from seasonal allergies, and what is called BN type of respiratory issues, somewhat asthmatic</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yoga
practice can relieve your allergies in two major ways. First, yoga helps to
strengthen the immune system by calming the nervous system (<span lang="JA" style="font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-ascii-font-family: Century; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family: Century; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">神経系</span>).
Allergies tend to make people feel irritated, what with a constantly running
nose and itchy eyes. Practicing yoga forces you to slow down your breathing,
which makes you calm. Inversions (<span lang="JA" style="font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-ascii-font-family: Century; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family: Century; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">逆さまのポーズ</span>) stimulate lymph flow, which
helps your body get rid of allergens (things that give you an allergic
reaction). Second, breathing exercises, like Kapalabhati, help decongest the
nose so you can breathe more easily. Chest opening exercises, like Fish pose,
are also helpful.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Sprouting your own seeds is a healthy and inexpensive way to add more nutrition to your diet.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Check out <a href="http://youtu.be/HXId8dsBpnU">this video link</a> for the details. It is surprisingly easy! And now is the perfect time to do it.</div>
</div>

Today marks the first day of spring in the natural world. That means it's the day when night and day are the same length. From here on out, days will be longer than nights. So, today (and the weeks before and after, we don't need to be so strict) is the best time to start thinking ahead about the coming spring. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">For those of us in the US or around the world who don't get </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">an official day off, take this weekend or any free day in March and use that as your "first day of spring".</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> Spring is a time when </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">the natural world wakes up, flowers bloom, animals look for mates, and everything starts to warm and open up. Since we are also part of this natural world (although we seem to forget and even deny that often), it makes sense that we should also start changing our lifestyles. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Just as we wear lighter clothes in spring, we should also be easting lighter foods. We may also want to lighten our belongings, clean our homes, sort clothes and throw away unnecessary items. You may also want to start a cleansing diet (see below). However you choose to celebrate the coming of spring, you definitely want to acknowledge the changes that are going on around and in you. All of the transitions at this time of year make it an ideal time to make plans, or makes changes. Even people who are happy with their lives can find something they want to change to be in tune with the blossoming spring around us.</span><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hello Yogis!! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Days like
today signal that spring is just around the corner, and March is the transition
time from winter to spring. Just like we change our clothes for the seasons, we
need to change our eating habits and activities to suit the new weather. Warmer
weather generally means lighter food and more activity. So, if you have not
been exercising during the winter, now is a perfect time to restart your yoga
(or other) exercise routine. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One way to
help the body “reset” for the new season is to do a kind of detox diet. Detox
means to get rid of toxins (“de” to reverse, “tox” from toxify). Actually, our body is always detoxifying itself – the liver,
kidneys, and the lymphatic system carry out detoxification constantly. However,
those organs get tired, so we need to help them by giving them a rest. Eating
easy to digest foods is one way to give these organs a rest. Also, it is
recommended to take some herbs or other foods that assist with detox.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="JA" style="font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-ascii-font-family: Century; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family: Century; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> </span>Detox can have a number of good effects on the body and
mind, including weight loss, improved digestion, clear skin, and a refreshed
feeling. The toxins in our body are created not only from the foods we eat and
the chemicals in the air, but also the emotions we have. If we hold anger,
sadness, jealousy, or hatred inside, these feelings can literally make us
physically ill. Detoxing the body can also help clean out the mind and heart. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">Seasonal Allergies and Yoga </span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With the warmth
of spring comes the suffering of hay fever or <b>seasonal allergies</b> (<span lang="JA" style="font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-ascii-font-family: Century; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family: Century; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">花粉症</span>). On
the train and at work we hear people sniffling and sighing, tired from allergy
medicine and too much sneezing. The sad part is, allergy medicine makes use
weaker, so that we need stronger allergy medicine as we get older. Fortunately,
we CAN strengthen our <b>immunity</b> (<span lang="JA" style="font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-ascii-font-family: Century; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family: Century; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">免疫力</span>) and relieve the symptoms with
yoga. Of course, yoga is what we call “slow medicine”, it takes time and
practice to work. But I assure you, the more you practice the better you will
feel. Yoga may also be used WITH medicine to make it more effective. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yoga
practice can relieve your allergies in two major ways. First, yoga helps to
strengthen the immune system by calming the <b>nervous system</b> (<span lang="JA" style="font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-ascii-font-family: Century; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family: Century; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">神経系</span>).
Allergies tend to make people feel irritated, what with a constantly running
nose and itchy eyes. Practicing yoga forces you to slow down your breathing,
which makes you calm. <b>Inversions</b> (<span lang="JA" style="font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-ascii-font-family: Century; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family: Century; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">逆さまのポーズ</span>) stimulate lymph flow, which
helps your body get rid of allergens (things that give you an allergic
reaction). Second, breathing exercises, like Kapalabhati, help decongest the
nose so you can breathe more easily. Chest opening exercises, like Fish pose,
are also helpful. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

This ancient ayurvedic technique of cleansing the nasal passages of allergens, dust, and mucus is actually recommended by doctors in the US and Japan to alleviate the symptoms of hay fever. You can use other devices for washing your nose, like squeeze bottles, or any teapot with a spout, but the neti pot is the easiest to use.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These days,
most people’s first reaction to colds or allergies is to take medicine for the
symptoms, rather than treat the source. While it may be more difficult at
first, listening intently to your body will eventually help you figure out what
the source of your illness, or imbalance, is. Taking too much medicine deafens
us to our own bodies. Listening to your body will help you do what is good for
it. Doing what is good for it makes you healthy. And being healthy helps you
enjoy the beautiful spring weather ^v^</div>
