Yoga is a thousand-year-old practice that combines breathing exercises, meditation, and various asanas (body positions). Yes, this is a whole teaching, but within the framework of a fitness club, we consider it only as physical activity. This discipline has several uses and can be very helpful in enhancing the relaxation of the body and mind. However, in the modern world, yoga can be equated with a full-fledged form of sport. (more…)

Another problem that worries many women is the withers or ” widow’s hump ” on the neck in the region of the 7th vertebra.
A set of excess weight leads to the formation of a specific fat deposit – the “withers”, which grows faster every year.
You can hear that the name of the disease “widow’s hump” comes from the Middle Ages, when men practically did not live up to the modern “mature” age and it was believed that the hump grows more often on the neck of widows.
Now this disease has changed significantly with age. And since the “bump” at the back of the neck does not look aesthetically pleasing, the question of how to get rid of the withers on the neck worries more and more young women. This is natural because in the area of \u200b\u200bthe “bump” the mobility and sensitivity of the neck decrease. And the larger the size of the “withers”, the greater the likelihood of a variety of diseases.
Often the disease manifests itself in such symptoms:
Most often, withers are formed in people who are busy with many hours of “sedentary” work or study. Very often, such problems occur in athletes after an injury, as well as in people after accidents, bruises and falls.
What to do when a hump grows, the doctor should determine.
The main type of treatment is treatment with movement and massage, which contribute to the resorption of the “withers”. With such treatment, not only physiological changes occur, but also cosmetic ones, that is, not only health is restored, but also beauty.
Special exercises that will help get rid of the withers on the neck can be done at home if the disease is not running.
These exercises are simple, but require daily performance and rather for a sufficiently long time, depending on the degree of the problem:
Every morning, it is important to perform simple and effective exercises with a gymnastic stick for the back for 2-3 minutes, which, in addition to improving posture, will also help get rid of the withers on the neck:
An important role in getting rid of the withers on the neck is massage. It is necessary to massage the entire back and collar area, as well as the shoulder girdle and arms.
Massage allows you to establish metabolism, and blood supply, which will lead to the “acceleration” of fat.
Useful and self-massage at home using a warming cream (ointment). You need to massage the back of the neck, “dispersing” the seals on the sides.
Without fear, you can eat boiled chicken meat, fish. It is advisable to eat more vegetables and fruits (with the exception of potatoes and bananas, respectively). A balanced diet will allow you to avoid gaining excess weight, which negatively affects the size of the “withers”.
But there is one more important condition – there must be a burning desire to have a beautiful and even back in order to always be in an attractive shape, both at work, at home, and on vacation.

Meditation is a simple practice available to everyone that can reduce stress, make you more calm and bring clarity. Learning to meditate is easy, and the benefits can come quickly. Here we offer top tips to help you get started on the path to acceptance and joy.
In the practice of meditation, we learn to pay attention to the breath as it comes in and out, and notice when the mind is distracted from this task. This practice of returning to the breath strengthens the muscles of attention and awareness .
When we pay attention to our breathing, we learn to return to the present moment and stay in it – intentionally, without judgment, feeling ourselves here and now.
Meditation is not a newfangled phenomenon. This is an old practice, the benefits of which science has only begun to explore in the last few years.
By meditating regularly, you:
First, you need to understand that there is no good or bad practice, and immediately forgive yourself for your imperfection. Let go of all your perfectionism and desire to do perfectly and just watch the process of meditation.
When you close your eyes and follow the instructions in guided meditation, your mind will be easily distracted and thoughts will take your breath away. Get rid of the false expectation that you will immediately catch Zen at the first meditation and sit quietly for the entire 5-10 minutes.
Meditation is very hard and very easy at the same time. In order to succeed in practice, you need to practice. Close your eyes, focus on your breathing, and let your mind do its thing.
You need to make efforts to disperse your thoughts and artificially empty the space in your mind. The moment you realize that you are lost in your thoughts, you develop awareness. It is then that you return to the object of concentration – the breath. That’s all you need to do in meditation – bring your attention back to your breath away from distracting thoughts and thus hone your awareness. With practice, the periods between breath withdrawal and awareness will become longer and longer.
