Now I can train SMART instead of just hard. I developed that body awareness through the postures in Kris’ program. My performance in the weight room has reached a personal peak. But better still, yoga has kept me INJURY FREE. And that’s no small feat for someone who spends so much time at a desk... I’ve got more strength and power than ever before (even at my age) Erwin Thomas, Cuyahoga County Spartans “Yoga was great.
It’s muscle imbalances. Every step you take during your run emphasizes these imbalances. And over time they place wear and tear on your joints and connective tissue. Until they suddenly “snap”... But bring your body back into balance and you can keep on running for as long as you like! That’s what Kris discovered.
It’s incredibly frustrating to be so close to the top of your game — or almost at your hard won physique goal — and then to get injured.
It is crucial for a figure skater to be fluid, graceful, and strong; my experience with Kris Fondran continues to help me attain these qualities.
Another point for yoga... If people seem to show you more RESPECT… it’s not a coincidence Hmm. It seems that yoga might even help you get a little MORE sex. Let me explain… The way people perceive you has a lot to do with how you carry yourself. For example, I’m short. When I’m tired or feeling down, I slouch. So I look even shorter. But when I’m feeling confident and happy, I square up my shoulders and I look taller. I didn’t actually grow or shrink — obviously. But the perception of height changes. And that effect of posture on how people perceive you goes much deeper than just your height. When you stand tall and have good posture, people think of you as more: competent confident able strong vigorous sexually appealing You can use that to your advantage by developing better posture.
Those who practiced yoga enjoyed noticeably better control over ejaculation. No, we don’t talk about it much. But sex plays such an important role in our wellbeing. Better sex relieves stress.

I sure have! Tendonitis? Had that. Bursitis? Been there… These two common problems are the source of most of our aches and pains. And they don’t just show up out of nowhere. We get tendonitis and bursitis when things are out of whack. Think of it this way. If the wheels of your car aren’t aligned, what’s going to happen? You’ll get uneven wear on your tires.
Ouch! And the impact of every footfall is equal to three to four times your bodyweight. No wonder your knees, hips and low back start complaining! But it’s not running that causes these problems.
Kris made “yoga class” inviting, fun, and enjoyable and I would strongly recommend her class for the competitive athlete or the exercise enthusiast.” Keep running for LIFE — and how Kris improved HER running Although she no longer runs competitively, Kris still enjoys a good jog.
Whether they’re at a desk or traveling on commute, they spend most of their time training their bodies to be “chair shaped.” Sloping shoulders, tight hips and dormant butt muscles are all symptoms of “Desk Jockey Syndrome” (DJS).
And a typical player makes something like 120 swings during the average round of golf. That’s a lot of wear and tear! If your body isn’t in balance, every one of those swings takes you one step closer to injury.
And yoga is one of the best ways to do it. Physical balance is a big part of any GOOD yoga program. Your job, daily commute, old injuries and a ton of other factors GUARANTEE that you’ve got muscle imbalances.
And if you let it go on long enough, they could even develop bald spots and burst. The same thing happens to your tendons and bursa. Your tendons are the “cables” that attach your muscles to bone. And your bursa are the sacks of fluid that sit under tendons and muscle to make sure they glide smoothly over those bony areas.
After only 12 weekly classes, patients showed better function and reduced symptoms. Do you need PROTECTION from these two common complaints? You’ve probably been the victim of at least ONE of these two villains.
