Cool Yoga for HOT Bodies
Shelter from the Swelter
August 2006
  
Om shantih!

It's been HOT here in the Big sweaty Apple. In Texas, we're kinda used to it - where HOT means Jalapenos and air conditioning. In NYC, we get the cooked air - and the air looks mighty dirty when heated. Eeww. Thank the heavens for yoga because your practice can cool you off and release toxins too.

What I've found for myself is that the greatest creator of toxins - is the mind: http://yogafly.blogs.com/yogafly2/

Clear the mind of hot, heavy thoughts. As Shri Brahmananda Saraswati and Gehlek Rimpoche both say: Open to the sky-like nature of the mind. Please join me in numerous festivities. Details below.

Cooling Yoga
Sithali Pranayama

Wonderful cooling technique:

Sithali Pranayama
1. Sit comfortably
2. Breathe normally for a few moments
3. Curl tongue so that it forms a U-shape
4. Inhale through the mouth
5. Exhale through the nose
6. Do this several times
7. Enjoy the cool, light feeling inside. OMM

I also love peppermint - you can use it to cool off as an aromatherapy. Rub it on your neck and chest - a little bit goes a long way.
