The pushups are broken up into 9 sets of 12, making them much more manageable, especially with the sweet resting pose immediately following them. Shiva Rea keeps you engaged through the fire salutation sequence by using different variations of the poses, primarily by incorporating many different arm positions. The second sequence “Creative Core” is focused on abdominal strengthening exercises that emphasize fluid movements, breathing and creativity. This is followed by a short guided shavasana for the third segment. This 35-minute video program will certainly “sculpt your abs, arms, and shoulders” and is definitely guaranteed to make you feel sore the next day. Practicing 108 pushups in this tough and challenging yoga program sounds intimidating (and a little crazy), but it is surprisingly quite doable due to the modifications, relaxed do-what-you-can attitude, and the calming, soothing, and encouraging voice of master instructor Shiva Rea. The first segment of this program is the hardest, the Agni Namaskar (fire salutation) that includes the 108 pushups.
 

Don’t forget the fluids either -bring a bottle of water - even if your prenatal class isn’t as rigorous, you need extra fluids while pregnant.Bolsters, a stack of Yoga Therapy Blankets and a Massage table were so familiar to me they are the props I used to assist myself through my pregnancy, labor and birth.

I recommend bringing a pillow, blanket or bolster to yoga class with you during pregnancy so you can assure that you are comfortable.

If you practice yoga no doubt this will all make sense to you. If not, prepare for another eastern medicine practice making its way into protecting and enhancing our pet’s health and quality of life. Is this Zen and the art of Dog?

The theory is simple - take some yoga fundamentals and adapt them to the abilities and limitations of our canine companions.

It is suddenly very popular and getting lots of media buzz. Those trying it claim the dogs doing yoga seem to enjoy it and are more relaxed and stress free.
