Ans. The yogic exercises and breathing system take care of whole body. They are sequenced and designed ito influence all the endocrine glands. This corrects both underworking and overworking of endocrine glands. In the isotonic exercises the muscles shorten, but the tension in the muscles remain the same. Examples are walking, cycling, swimming, running, jogging, skipping etc. Ans. Best example is weight lifting. When we push our hand against wall, we may feel the tension in the muscles.

Endocrine glands produce and secrete hormones into the blood or lymph systems. These glands include the thyroid, parathyroid, hypothalamus, pineal, pituitary, adrenal, islands of Langerhans in the pancreas, and the gonads (testes and ovaries). The effects of these hormones may affect one organ or tissue, or the entire body. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/002351.htm

Hormones are liquid secretions of the endocrine glands which very much influence our actions and feelings. The glands are small bodies situated all around the body. The Thyroid Gland, Parathyroid Glands, Adrenals, etc, are all endocrine glands. They produce hormones into the blood circulation that circulates throughout the body and play a major role in regulating how we function. An over or under-production of a particular hormone will give rise to an imbalance within the body.

Ans. It is neither theistic nor atheistic system. It is pure science. No belief or precondition but discipline is required.

Yoga Sutra is a center dedicated to the study and practice of yoga; think of us as a university that has freshman through PhDs (mostly freshman). Our teachers are among the finest certified, full-time yoga teachers and study regularly in India with the founders of their style of yoga. Unlike most gyms, our physical space is luxurious, intimate, and designed exclusively for yoga.

Often there are no symptoms to this form of sarcoidosis, or at the most, glands in the neck, axillae and groin may become enlarged and swollen.

An endocrine disruptor is a synthetic chemical that when absorbed into the body either mimics or blocks hormones and disrupts the body's normal functions. This disruption can happen through altering normal hormone levels, halting or stimulating the production of hormones, or changing the way hormones travel through the body, thus affecting the functions that these hormones control.

The endocrine system is a complex network of glands and hormones that regulates many of the body's functions, including growth, development and maturation, as well as the way various organs operate.

ADHD is more commonly diagnosed in boys than girls. This may be because boys with ADHD tend to be more hyperactive and disruptive. Girls can have ADHD but may have Predominantly Inattentive Type and can often appear to be in a world of their own. Their symptoms may not be noticed because they don’t disrupt the class; however, their problems can lead to academic and social failure.

Pansalt was formulated to replace regular salt. Pansalt cuts down to about half (56%) the sodium chloride that is considered harmful when consumed in excess of the recommended dietary intake (RDI) of almost 6g per day per person. (Salt is 99% sodium chloride or 40% sodium and 60% chloride). More important, Pansalt has added mineral nutrients including magnesium, potassium, lysine and iodine.

Ans. Isometric exercises increases the physcial fitness if performed in optimum quantity with regularity. These exercises increases the work of the cardiovascular system. Isometric exercises increase the tension in muscles of the body. They impose a severe strain on the cardiovascular system. Isometric exercises are considered undesirable for cardiovascular diseases. Yogic postures and breathing exercises do not strain the cardiovascular system and improve physical fitness and endurance.

Unlike stretching or fitness, yoga is more than just physical postures. Patanjali's eight-fold path illustrates how the physical practice is just one aspect of yoga. Even within the physical practice, yoga is unique because we connect the movement of the body and the fluctuations of the mind to the rhythm of our breath. Connecting the mind, body, and breath helps us to direct our attention inward.

There are countless styles of yoga. The type of yoga we commonly see in the west is hatha yoga. Within the category of Hatha yoga there are many schools of yoga such as: Kripalu, Iyengar, Asthanga, Shivananda, and Power Yoga to mention a few.

Hatha Hatha is a very general term that can encompass many of the physical types of yoga. If a class is described as hatha, it’s probably going to be a basic class that provides a good introduction to the classic yoga postures. Vinyasa Vinyasa is also a general term, but means flow. In vinyasa style yoga, breath is connected to movement and each posture flows from one into another.

Iyengar Yoga teaches and leads towards the experience of all 8 aspects of astanga yoga, primarily through the tools of asanas and pranayama. In Iyengar yoga one learns how the performance of Asana needs the disciplines of Yama and Niyama (ethics and personal discipline), the role of the breath (Pranayama) and how the turning of the senses of perception to look inwards (Pratyahara) and total concentration (Dharana) while doing asanas lead one to experience the higher mental states.

Sri K. Pattabhi Jois' Ashtanga yoga is a traditional method of yoga practice that is estimated by some to be 5000 years old. Some other methods of yoga practice include Iyengar, Kripalu, Sivananda and Vinyasa. There are many aspects of Ashtanga yoga that are common to other methods of yoga. The main difference between Ashtanga yoga and other methods is the use of ujjayi breathing, and the linking of vinyasa, bandhas (energy locks) and dristhi (gazing points).

Yoga Calm uniquely addresses the needs of both children and the adults who work with them in three ways: Teachers and counselors report seeing more and more children coming to school with high stress levels, behavior issues and a lack of effective social/emotional skills. Not only do these factors create a more stressful school environment; they also inhibit learning.

The Meridian Flexibility System is based on each of the 16 meridians, or energy channels, that course through the body. Each meridian corresponds to a specific muscle group, organ, tissue, high and low physical/spiritual/emotional/psychological trait, personality type, and classical Hatha Yoga pose. In the initial stages of development, Meridian Stretching occurred when a person isometrically resisted in each of these Yoga poses in order to stretch themself.
