Thursday, 25 September 2008EVOLUTION Bodywork & Nutrition, a Bristol based wellness center, today announced they will be hosting “Inside Out” a one-day intensive Pelvic Floor Workshop for health and fitness practitioners. This workshop will be taught by Pilates expert Kelly Kane, owner of NYC based The Kane School of Core Integration, on November 15, 2008, 10 AM – 5 PM.
Health and fitness practitioners that wi ll benefit by attending this workshop include; Personal Trainers, Pilates Instructors, OBGYNS, Nurse Practitioners, Midwives, Physical Therapists - any health or fitness professional with clients who are looking to reduce; postpartum vaginal stretching, prevent age-related vaginal atrophy, improve urinary incontinence, lower back problems, hip joint pain, SI joint pain and neck problems.
“We are thrilled to have Kelly come to Evolution. She’s recognized as a leading authority on the pelvic floor, she lectures and trains health practitioners worldwide on the importance of the Pelvic floor and how to strengthen this group of muscles. Most people don’t realize that the Pelvic Floor is the foundation for movement, balance, stability and flexibility.” said Jen Morin, Pilates / Corporate Fitness Director, EVOLUTION bodywork & nutrition.
Pelvic Floor disorders affect one in three women, according to a 4,000-person Kaiser Permanente study funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Other research shows that at least 11% of women end up having surgery for a pelvic floor disorder. Specific exercises can do much to rehabilitate the pelvic floor muscles through non-surgical interventions, using the same principles of exercise, tissue mobilization and rehabilitation as applied to any other area of the body.
At the end of this seminar participants will be able to:
1. Develop an increased awareness of the pelvic floor
2. Integrate full body movement with the pelvic floor
3. Work on creating strength, flexibility and coordination of the pelvic floor
4. Integrate use of the pelvic floor to assist in functional
movements such as; going from sitting to standing, going upstairs, lifting and more
5. Teach patients and clients to integrate their pelvic floor to reduce stress and strain on the lower back, the hips and the knees through improved pelvic floor coordination

Wednesday, 24 September 2008With the publication of its 3rd issue, International Yogalayam announces the official launch of their distinctive new yoga e-zine, The Yoga News. This monthly electronic publication features current yoga-related news stories, yoga articles and special interest pieces, along with commentary on current issues of interest to the global yoga community.
The Yoga News is a free monthly yoga magazine of particular interest to both yoga teachers and yoga enthusiasts. Already, The Yoga News has received praise from its global readership for filling a need for impartial, non-affiliated commentary on important issues surrounding the profession and practice of yoga.
For instance, the inaugural issue of The Yoga News (July, 2008) featured an investigation into the formation of the Indian Yoga Association (IYA), an important development for the construction of global yoga teaching standards from the birthplace of yoga itself. The most recent September 2008 issue featured an exploration of the growing controversy surrounding the modern trend of yoga competitions, as well as the movement to get yoga selected as an Olympic sport.
The Yoga News also features articles that delve into the philosophy of yoga in a refreshing, yet practical and meaningful way. Features that explore various aspects of the ancient culture of India, and their importance to the modern yoga community are also a regular part of this inspirational new yoga e-zine.
In The Yoga News, International Yogalayam is setting a new standard of editorial in the yoga world with the publication of articles that reach beyond the typical, physical exercise culture of yoga, to address many other dimensions of its practice, while at the same time examining issues that impact the global yoga community as a whole.

Wednesday, 24 September 2008Just launched with a huge success in the bustling city of Hong Kong, Chakra Ma Jewelry for Sacred Living is yoga jewelry for healing, transformation and joy.
Chakra Ma jewelry is wearable inspiration with a conscious intention: each Chakra Ma jewelry piece is specifically designed to open and bring into balance particular chakras in the body. Chakras are the major energy centers t hat receive, assimilate, and express energy along our physical and subtle body. An imbalance in a particular chakra can manifest as a mental, emotional or physical ailment. During our yoga practice and everyday lives, we strive to balance all the chakras in our bodies to achieve a healthy mind, body and spirit.
Each chakra has a corresponding sacred symbol and gemstone which can help balance the physical and emotional aspects of that chakra, bringing harmony, health and healing. We have designed beautiful jewelry that fuses the energy of chakra gemstones and the sacred chakra symbol into wearable inspiration as a way to extend your yoga practice and balance your chakras.
Chakra Ma is not just jewelry; it is a way to experience sacred living through the intention and energy of the chakra symbols and the healing light in the crystals and gemstones. Chakra Ma offers beautiful yoga jewelry that we may wear as reminders of who we truly are, what we desire to feel, what we are able to share and where we are going.
Accompanying the new yoga jewelry line is a new website where you can purchase the jewelry, www.chakrama.com which offers extensive information on the chakra system as well as kundalini classes, retreats, and workshops. Also included are yoga recipes for healthy mind, body and spirit.
Yoga Jewelry for Sacred Living, includes information on yoga, kundalini yoga classes, retreats, workshops, chakras, and yoga directory

Tuesday, 23 September 2008RezHub.com launched a new Dream Green Vacation Giveaway Contest to show travelers that going green does not have to mean going to extremes. The online travel website has partnered with the brand new Hacienda Tres Rios in Playa Del Carmen Mexico to provide a luxury all-inclusive vacation for 4, with round-trip flights and a full carbon offset. To enter, travelers will need to visit http://www.re zhub.com/dreamgreen and enter their email address.
Since its launch last year, RezHub.com and their Green Travel Hub have been on a mission to provide green travel options to fit every traveler. This Dream Green Giveaway illustrates that green vacations can provide all the luxuries and amenities a traveler could need. The contest's grand prize trip is to the luxurious (4 star) Hacienda Tres Rios and it's all-inclusive which means the resort will provide all meals, room-service, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and more. Tres Rios also includes yoga and tai chi classes, snorkeling, kayaking, and adventure activities like a jungle canopy zip-line and rock climbing wall. Also located on the property is a spa, where guests can be pampered with massage, facials, and the usual spa services.
What makes this vacation green? Aside from the full carbon offset, the Hacienda Tres Rios has a comprehensive environmental platform. The hotel is one of the only properties around the world to earn a full 5 Branch Green Score on RezHub.com. In 2006 SEMARNAT recognized Tres Ríos as a “regional and national model for sustainable tourism development.” The resort was one of only three national tourism projects to receive a unique environmental seal of approval by the highest Mexican environmental authority. Tres Ríos began as a nature park and has been developed to preserve that unique environment. From their planning to their construction to their daily operations, Hacienda Tres Ríos carefully works to ensure the least environmental impact. Details of their environmental mission can be found on their website by visiting http://www.tres-rios.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view§ionid=6&id=35.
"This contest is the perfect way to show travelers that even luxury vacations can be easy on the environment," says Technology Director for the website Will Strohl, "The giveaway is one of our many efforts that will help change the image of green travel from something extreme, to something any traveler can achieve." After entering at http://www.rezhub.com/dreamgreen, website visitors have an opportunity to earn extra entries by completing simple tasks. The "Easy as 1, 2, 3!" program explains: becoming a friend to Green Travel Hub on MySpace or Facebook; or nominating a new green hotel each will earn 1 extra entry. 2 extra entries can be earned by posting to the RezHub.com blog or forums, or by referring friends. Finally, actually booking travel will earn visitors 3 additional entries in the contest.
