Ever since MIL passed away from colon cancer, Hubby has been spending more than 30 minutes each day sitting on the toilet bowl waiting for some ‘magical’ to happen. That frustrate me a lot as I think he is spending too much time hogging the loo all to himself. Maybe I should get Hubby to go for a colon cleanse.

Hot Yoga is also known as Bikram Yoga in Sanskrit. Ideally, the room was heated to 105°F (40.5°C) with a humidity of 40%. However, classes are guided differently everywhere. At the place where I attended classes, the heater was left running for 45 minutes throughout the duration of classes. Sometime 15 minutes before Savasana, the heater was then switched off again.

As you can imagine, a vigorous yoga session at this temperature promotes profuse sweating which believe will help you to lose weight, get rids the body of toxins and also makes the body very warm and therefore more flexible. It is essential to bring along a towel slightly larger than normal and your clothes should be of cotton or any absorbent fabric.

For my personal opinion, Hot Yoga has some con too.

1. It makes my facial skin very dry no matter how much water I drank after class.
2. I can’t tolerate with the intense heat. First 20minutes in the asana, I started to feel a bit nausea. After 30 minutes, I started to feel short of breath, giddy and wanna throw up.
3. I was told that too much of Hot Yoga may damage your kidney, dehydrate your body and etc…

And most of the time, I regretted coming to the class and get torture. Urgh… why do I pay to get tortured? Kinda stupid right? While huffing and puffing and perspiring all over, many question is racing inside my head like… I wish the instructor will switch off the heater now…. I looks fat in the mirror. No, it’s the clothes!… I can’t hold any longer in this asana. Gosh, I’m slipping…. That person in the front row is showing of… I can’t wait till this is over… Yea, right. Come back again tomorrow. Are you insane?… oh, I get to lie down again. This isn’t so bad… she is turning off the heater… phew… it’s over… finally!… towel… towel… I think i almost fainted…. nice music… nice savasana… Namaste!

Gosh, I keep saying numerous time that I want to upgrade the ram - “Ramdom Access Memory” in my computer but I have yet to do it. Procrastinating rulez! The main reason is because I keep stumbling on attractive offers on the internet. Looks like the price is getting cheaper by days. Some even throw in free shipping and speedy shipping with a small fee.

Sanskrit: Dhanurasana

If you tilt your head to your left and put a little imagination, this asana looks like an archer’s bow. That is how the name comes by. While in the Bow position, pull your leg more towards the back to get a better arch on the back. The more you pushed your leg, you will find yourself being lifted away from the mat. You may rock yourself back and forth or get an assistance like the children’s wooden swing sets toy. That always add some chuckle in me.

There’s always some good benefits in every asana. When you rock yourself back and forth, you are giving your abdominal muscle some massage at the same time, reducing the abdominal fats, reliving of constipation and gastrointestinal disorders. If you want that slim tummy, go rock yourself now.

Namaste, everyone!

The school holiday is finally here. The kids especially my two girls has been looking forward to the much awaited holiday on board the Disney cruises. All day long, the kids has been playing “Peter Pan” imagining themselves fighting on the ship with the pirates. You should look at them. They are so cute! Two more days to go. I can’t wait any longer!

Sanskrit:  Malasana

Garland posture or better known Malasana is believe to help relieve menstrual pain.  However, you should practise the asana before or after your period as Yoga is rarely practice during a menstrual cycle.  Other than relieving menstrual pain, it is believe to help regulate menstruation flow.

As you exhale, bent forward between your legs, bring your arms back and around your leg and hold your heels from behind.  You bend lower down and rest your forehead on the mat.  Remember not to lift your heel up and keep them together.

Namaste, everyone!

I like this quote which I translated from the Chinese verse:  Old one don’t go, new one don’t come. My 8 years old Electrolux vacuum cleaner just die on me. It is now time for me to get a new one.  I have a tough time deciding which model and which brand to get.  My criteria of a vacuum cleaners must be able to perform various task like wet & dry vacuum and also able to sanitized the floor, must be light weight and not noisy.  Decision, decision, decision!
