Stretch and the City: December 2005
http://stretchandthecity.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Stretch and the City. Musings by Andrea Smith. Thursday, December 22, 2005. If money burns a hole in your pocket like it does mine, or if you would like to become more mindful of your spending, you may feel like I do and wonder: how can I control my urge to spend spend spend? If our practice on the mat mirrors our life off the mat, is the fluctuation between two extremes of restraint and overindulgence gradually going to lessen? Instead of thinking about what we can get, let’s consider what we can give&#...

Stretch and the City: May 2006
http://stretchandthecity.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
Stretch and the City. Musings by Andrea Smith. Tuesday, May 30, 2006. Equal Standing, or Is It? In our yoga classes, we spend time on our posture and equal standing from an internal awareness. We also have outward cues, either by our teacher or from looking in a mirror ourselves. If you think you may have any alignment issues, you may want to have a proper posture assessment by a qualified professional. If you think you may be interested in a full assessment, contact the clinic at. Six Times a Day Book.

Stretch and the City. Musings by Andrea Smith. Wednesday, August 30, 2006. I have been going to the chiropractor since May 2006 and it is really working for me. Check out www.drspine.com. I was speaking with "Dr. Adam" last week about how yoga and chiropractic complement each other. My next experiment is going to be with reflexology, coined "sex for the feet" by a fellow 'stretcher' who can remain anonymous. Book your appointment soon with your neighbourhood reflexologist if this is the case. You...As mu...

Stretch and the City: March 2006

Stretch and the City. Musings by Andrea Smith. Friday, March 10, 2006. As we go about our busy lives, trying to fit in more than we can handle, often times our diet suffers. Food on the run is often our nutritional intake during the workweek. Couple striving for a healthy diet with trying to fit in the 8 glasses of water we should drink and we have a full day right there. I ask myself why do I make sure Rory always gets her daily medication on time and I can’t even manage to give myself a daily multi vit...

Stretch and the City. Musings by Andrea Smith. Friday, January 27, 2006. What's Posture Got To Do With It? You must understand that the curve of your spine. Makes your pulse react. That it’s really the thrill of back meeting hips. It’s physical, only logical. You must never ignore that it means more that that. Oh oh oh, what’s posture got to do, got to do with it? What’s posture but the position that our bones are in? What’s posture got to do, got to do with it. Can we compare posture and love in yoga?

Stretch and the City. Musings by Andrea Smith. Monday, November 21, 2005. Orthotics by Day, Barefeet by Yoga. If you wear orthotics, or need to wear orthotics but don’t (the category I belonged to of late), you may be like me and wonder: how do I bridge the gap between the day-to-day support of my orthotics and my barefoot yoga practice? If our practice on the yoga mat mirrors our life off the mat, is fluctuating between these two extremes adding an element of non-ahimsa to our lives? When we need to loo...

Stretch and the City. Musings by Andrea Smith. Thursday, October 05, 2006. OUCH, My Aching Joints. Did you know that Osteoarthritis (OA) affects 1 in 10 Canadians? Perhaps it is a genetic predisposition. Next time you are together with your family, have everyone try some yoga and compare where you feel stiff and uncomfortable. Maybe we really can blame our parents for something! You can find out more about arthritis from the Arthritis Society at. Http:/ www.arthritis.ca/. Posted by Andrea at 4:28 PM.

Stretch and the City. Musings by Andrea Smith. Tuesday, February 14, 2006. Be My Yoga Valentine. As this year’s Valentine’s Day is upon us, everywhere we look is coming up red and pink, roses and chocolates. These are colors and symbols of love and courtship. Valentine’s Day has been around for almost two thousand years and has been commercialized since the 1800’s, by Miss Esther Howland, a greeting card visionary. Why then do people risk their lives for love? So, as of today, there could not be a more p...
