the DOGGIE

Yoga is the craze now, not only amongst women but also men. For those that has been practising yoga knows the benefits and could see and feel the changes it has made to their mind, body & soul.

Another evening of yoga by the pool side-our teacher told us that its important that we balance our body temperature by regulating the coolness in our head and warmth in the stomach. When the temperature is balanced, we will avoid coming down with a flu, sinus & indigestion. Therefore, we were asked to stick our tongue out & "behave like a dog". Let your tongue out loose & long, that's the exact words.

Sit on your heels with the toes tucked under, place both your palms in front of you & let your tongue hang out. Yes, all of it! Take a deep breath with your tummy tucked in and just breathe out in a fast pace (with the tongue hanging out still). If you need further clarification, then I hope you have a dog at home, watch the dog. I couldn't help it but laugh out in between. I mean I've never behaved this way before, not ever..... but then again, it was a good, I felt coolness in my head & light. So, practise this at home or maybe while having coffee with your friends. Surely they wouldn't think that we are weird, would they??
