A new type of workout is making the buzz in New York – the Bar Method. This is a workout that combines aspects of yoga, Pilates, strength training and stretching. This was first introduced in the new studio in Rye B
rook called Rye Ridge Studio.
The Bar Method, which incorporates a ballet bar, is a California-import rooted in physical therapy. It was developed by German-born dance instructor Lotte Berk in the 1960s but only gained popularity in 2001.
Jane Culiford, owner of Rye Ridge Studio, is considering hiring additional instructors and opening more studios to accommodate the growing number of women signing up for the class. She said, “I think it's catching on because women are seeing results so fast.”
The Bar Method incorporates yoga, but the muscles are worked to the point of exhaustion which, according to Culiford, makes them more pliable for stretching, leading to more definition.

INDIA- The Coimbatore Central Prison will introduce yoga and meditation to prisoners, following attempts and reported suicides in the last few months.
Prison officers were advised to separate the prison ers, the murder case accused and those who committed petty crimes. Yoga and meditation will be extended to these categories of prisoners. Centers like the World Community Service Center, Isha Yoga Centre and the Art of Living will help provide the yoga and meditation sessions.
Prisoners get out of their cells from 6am to 6pm to work in the workshop, watch TV or read in the library. However, some are found whiling away their time. Authorities suggest that something should be done, like yoga and meditation, so that prisoners can learn something useful.

MINDEN, Nev. /PRNewswire/ - Nutrition bar company Forward Foods, LLC, the maker of the award-winning Detour® bar, announced the addition of the Detour Yoga Bar™ to its line of activity-based protein bars. The new Yo
