Poem by Jaclyn Ianetti

I have been to every distant constellation
To see you again, found nowhere but in the world of my mind.

There’s

nothing

I

wouldn’t

do
To set myself on a cast away

A too far trip
To the depth of my soul, my heart, and mind

All found in my… i m a g i n a t i o n

Allow it to run away with me, treat it kind

To a place where love is as true as the stars

We’re together, here, but far

Only here in my…I M A G I N A T I O N

Let it . .  f a d e

Into my visions

With every thought, the journey begins again
And we will go on, chasing an endless box of creation
Holds me for hours, takes over me with forceful powers

Till there’s a rising sun along the dark horizon
As I’m driving through the cosmos
Packing up my thoughts, all in one, wrapped up in a bow

On my way!  Going dreaming

No words, no talk, these stars irresistibly gleaming

No pain no heart, start a new fashion

Just simply dreaming, a transitory passion

Water is one of the five elements which come together to form our bodies and it is more than justified that we unite with it as much as we can. A new form of yoga which is called Aqua Yoga, Hydro yoga or Water Yoga is becoming popular across the globe. But why, do yoga in water when it is designed to be done on solid ground? This question tops the F.A.Q list at any Water Yoga conference or classroom.

 

As unconventional as it sounds it is slowly making serious inroads into the mainstream fitness industry because of a wide range of health benefits it brings to its practitioners. Just imagine practicing yoga in a pool of water. What do you think the differences will be? Firstly and most importantly it reduces the risk of conventional yoga related fatigue and injuries. By practicing yoga postures in water which serves as an environment acting as a perfect shock absorbers not allowing any extra pressure to trickle down to out joints and muscles. Secondly, it allows people suffering from osteoporosis and arthritis to reap the benefits of yoga without the risk of further degeneration. Water Yoga is becoming very popular among the elderly and the overweight sections of the society. By controlling the movements and postures in water these people can attain much needed strength and lose the stubborn fat respectively. Unlike yoga done on the mat and floor, Water Yoga is a boon for pregnant women, who can do it without any risk of harm to the baby and themselves. But one needs to take care that Water Yoga needs to be performed with certain precautions which are as follows:

  1. Session length: an average water yoga lesion should last for about 45-55 minutes.
  2. Water temperature: too hot or too cold water is not conducive for Water Yoga. Temperatures should vary between 82-86 degrees.
  3. Water Type: the water in the yoga pool should be free from chlorine and at a later stage can be saturated with extra minerals and even oxygen to promote absorption of the same.
  4. Non swimmers: Non swimmers can also do water yoga under specialized supervision and to begin with, in shallow pools
  5. Weekly dose of original yoga: we suggest you to do conventional floor yoga at least once a week to continue understanding and reaping the true benefits of Water Yoga as well.

In the nutshell Water yoga is what we call “Floating Fitness”. It is an ideal mix of Yoga as the ancient practice with a modern mix of the application of physics, chemistry and biology.

Why to bend and turn!!

When you can float and burn!!
