Unlike other exercise routines Yoga with Weights is low impact, improves strength and flexibility, builds concentration, and reduces mental and physical stress and tension. In addition, Yoga with Weights is known to eradicate fatigue and generate energy , all of which lead to increased productivity and morale. Yoga with Weights exercises are simple and can be modified for different skill levels and abilities - and perfect for the home and office environment too!

While most stress management techniques and exercise programs just talk about how to deal with stress, our Yoga with Weights™ programs get results. Yoga with Weights provides proven techniques that have immediate and lasting effects.
Tension, both physical and mental, is often stored somewhere in the body and true stress reduction is a matter of discovering how to release that tension on both levels.
Yoga with Weights directly address tension in both the body and the mind. Our exercises help to remove stress from both sources since tension in one area has a direct effect on the other.
Yoga with Weights exercises offers simple, safe, and practical techniques that quickly reduce tension and stress while building strength at any time of your day and place.
The Yoga with Weights system provides you with the following:
  • Ways to identify stress signals and indicators through the awareness of breath
  • Postural improvement for general health, tension management, and improved appearance
  • Strength building for mind body and even bone density for greater resistance to daily stressors and fatigue
  • Practical exercises and techniques for the home, and workplace
  • Safe exercises (drawing from two time tested and powerful systems; yoga and physical culture) that bring more energy and wellbeing to every part of your body
  • A workout system for mind, body and spirit

YOGA WITH WEIGHTS FOR DUMMIES
Review Posted Tuesday, August 28, 2007

YOGA WITH WEIGHTS FOR DUMMIES
Yoga With Weights For Dummies is written to benefit all fitness levels. It helps you to get the maximum benefits of yoga poses combined with weight training without going too much into the spiritual side of yoga. The book covers breathing, how to warm up and cool down as well as a balanced workout to train your whole body. Each pose is fully illustrated with a bullet point description of how to perform it. However, the exercises sometimes run over two pages, which cause you to constantly move forwards and backwards while learning the new poses. Would be better if side by side. The author also provides additional tips, reminders and alternatives to ensure suitability for all levels.

The book ends with different yoga with weights programmes that focus on special needs and training for specific sports. These programmes make it easy for the beginner to know which poses to do and how to combine them for maximum results. Overall, this is a good book if you want to learn how yoga and strength training can improve your fitness and wellbeing.

Yoga with Weights For Dummies, July 18, 2007
By Dr. Brady (Calgary, Canada) - The hardest part of any exercise program is getting started. Often the programs are too complex and expect the participant to be "in shape". Then there is the cost of expensive equipment and the time commitment. Finding the right exercise program that suits your lifestyle, your needs, and your schedule seems like a recipe for disaster.

Yoga with Weights For Dummies to the rescue. Yoga with Weights is a unique program that combines the stretching and flexibility aspects of yoga with the strength training benefits of weights. The end result is long lean muscles that are strong, without the expensive equipment or inflexible exercise regime.

Yoga with Weights For Dummies actually outlines a number of different programs to gently fit different needs for energy, balance, restoration, strengthening, endurance, and abs workouts. Special adaptations and workouts are also giving for seniors and pregnant women. In all cases, the amount of weight (from no weight at all to 5 pounds) is left up to the participant based upon his or her needs, fitness levels, and goals. Moreover, unlike other fitness regimes, yoga with weights can be done in a twenty minute block of time or broken up throughout your day.


Chapter 4 Breathing:
  • Learn how to Breath for Yoga with Weights.
  • Discover seven different ways to breath


Breath is life, and a key to your yoga with weights success. The quality and the way we breathe influences everything in our lives. The idea is to keep your awarness on your breath continously as you move in and out of each yoga with weights exercise. Utilizing and maximizing, your yoga with weights potential, will rely deeply on how you breathe. Breath development techniques and exercises contained within this chapter will help guide you into states of increased energy, mental clarity, emotional calm, physical ease, exercise safety, and expanded breathing freedom. As with any exercise, yoga with weights can be done without awareness, put on the breath, but once you experience the difference (the power of the breath) and what you will be missing without it, you will never look back...Sherri Baptiste: author of Yoga with Weights
