Yoga

http://hatha-yoga.suite101.com/article.cfm/yoga-practice-routine-for-office-workers

The two forces of mind and prana maintain the rhythm of life and consciousness. Everything in the universe is evolving. Matter in its ultimate form is energy. The goal of yoga is to turn the body into solid energy. – Hatha Yoga Pradipika

Namaste means "the divinity within me salutes the divinity within you."

Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose)

Contraditons and cautions:

• Back injury
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Headache
• Pregnancy

Preparatory Poses

Setu Bandha Sarvangasana

Urdhva Mukha Svanasana

1. Lie prone on the floor. Stretch your legs back, tops of the feet on the floor. Spread your hands on the floor under your shoulders. Hug the elbows back into your body.
2. Press the tops of the feet and thighs and the pubis firmly into the floor.
3. On an inhalation, begin to straighten the arms to lift the chest off the floor, going only to the height at which you can maintain a connection through your pubis to your legs. Press the tailbone toward the pubis and lift the pubis toward the navel. Narrow the hip points. Firm but don't harden the buttocks.
4. Firm the shoulder blades against the back, puffing the side ribs forward. Lift through the top of the sternum but avoid pushing the front ribs forward, which only hardens the lower back. Distribute the backbend evenly throughout the entire spine.
5. Hold the pose anywhere from 15 to 30 seconds, breathing easily. Release back to the floor with an exhalation.

Dedication

Robert Louis Stevenson

By Simran Khurana, About.com Guide

My first gift and my last, to you

I dedicate this fascicle of songs -
The only wealth I have:
Just as they are, to you.

I speak the truth in soberness, and say

I had rather bring a light to your clear eyes,
Had rather hear you praise
This bosomful of songs

Than that the whole, hard world with one consent,

In one continuous chorus of applause
Poured forth for me and mine
The homage of ripe praise.

I write the finis here against my love,

This is my love's last epitaph and tomb.
Here the road forks, and I
Go my way, far from yours.

Escape

You can run, you can hide, but you can't escape my love

You can run, you can hide, but you can't escape my love

Here's how it goes

You and me, up and down
But MAYBE this time we'll get it right
Worth a fight
'Cause love is something you cant SHARE
When it breaks (When it breaks)
All it takes is some tryin'

If you feel like leaving

I'm not gonna BEG YOU TO stay
'Cause soon you'll be finding
You can run, you can hide
But you can't escape my love
You can run, you can hide
But you can't escape my love

So, if you go

You should know (you should know)
It's hard to just forget the past
So fast
It was good (it was good)
It was bad but it was real
And that's all you have
In the end our love matters (Oh no no no yeah)

If you feel like leaving

I'm not gonna BEG YOU TO (I won't BEG YOU TO stay)
Cuz soon you'll be finding
You can run, you can hide
But you can't escape my love
You can run, you can hide
But you can't escape my love

(You can run, you can run)

(You can hide, you can hide)
But you can't escape my love (my love)

You can run (you can run)

You can hide (you can hide)
But you can't escape my love

Here's how it goes

All it takes is some tryin' (Baby you can run)

If you feel like leavin'

I'm not gonna beg you to stay (I won't beg you to stay)
Cuz soon you'll be finding (you'll be finding)
You can run, you can hide
But you can't escape my love (Can't escape my love)

 If you feel like leavin'

I'm not gonna beg you to stay (You can't escape my love)
Cuz soon you'll be finding
You can run, you can hide,
But you can't escape my love

You can run

You can run
You can run (Baby you can run, baby you can hide)
You can run (But you can't escape my love)
You can run (Baby you can run, baby you can hide)
You can run (But you can't escape my love)
You can run (Baby you can run, baby you can hide)
You can run (But you can't escape my love)

You can run

You can run

You can run, you can hide

But you can't escape my love

You can run, you can hide

But you can't escape my love
