She recalls working long hours, constantly yelling at her teenage employees, confronting shoplifters and enduring reprimands from her supervisors.She used cigarettes, greasy fast food, and tall coffees, with shots of espresso that gave her heart palpitations, to gear up for the challenges she faced each day — days she too often ended in tears. “I have learned from yoga that it’s so much more important to practice the gift and lessons of yoga outside the studio,” She said. “I’m trying to keep my personal life healthy, so I’m always conscious of the balance between personal and professional life.

Yoga Love Testimonial: Woman Finds New Life Through Yoga

In her previous life as a retail store manager, Kim Fischer was physically and emotionally exhausted. She recalls working long hours, constantly yelling at her teenage employees, confronting shoplifters and enduring reprimands from her supervisors.

Yoga Poses For Runners By Jessica Bellofatto For me, as I increased my training, my body — while getting stronger and faster — was also more susceptible to overuse and injury. I turned to my yoga practice and began to use it in a very specific way to stretch and “correct” the body after many miles pounding the pavement (or the sand, or the trails, as the case may be). There are many ideas about how much stretching or “warming up” one should do before running, but all experts agree that stretching is absolutely necessary post-run. CLICK FOR FULL ARTICLE
