I just got back from Guayaquil, Ecuador last night for a special Power Yoga Class that we organized rather last minute. I was hosted by Andrea Goldbaum, owner and director of Samadhi Centro de Yoga and it was so incredible to see so many people i knew. It was an amazing class with so many strong Yogis and Yoginis and it seemed that they really resonated with the style of Yoga. What a great and strong Yoga community is there and i am looking forward to the Yoga Alliance Teacher Training we will hold in November 2010.

The Teacher Training program here in Lima has been amazing. The Power Yoga community in Lima has been steadily growing since my first Teacher Training program here three years ago... and it so beautiful to see so many people being exposed to Yoga in Peru.
It is such a blessing to be a part of the growth of Yoga in South America. These Yoga Alliance Teacher Trainings have been so successful in so many ways.

Why Yoga is the Best form of Exercise for your Body
Yoga is an ancient science originating in India around 5,000 years ago. That is an extremely concise way to point out that there is probably something to it. A science/philosphy that has endured 5,000 years, transcending scores of generations, of governments, cultures and religions is probably worth checking out. Yoga has many ‘branches’ or disciplines all focusing on, in some capacity, ‘enlightenment’ or union with the creator/earth. Literally, Yoga means ‘yoking’ or ‘union’ with the divine. In Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, one of the sacred yoga texts, comes the Eight Limb Path to Enlightenment. Essentially, this path is a road map, a sure way to blissful enlightenment. The eight limbs are as follows:
Yama – ethical disciplines
Niyama – self observation
Asana – posture
Pranayama – breath control
Pratyahara – sense withdrawal
Dharana - concentration
Dhyana - mediation
Samadhi – state of joy and peace
Asana, the third limb of this eighth limb path involves physical postures designed to promote strength and flexibility to enable the body to sit peacefully in prolonged meditation. In the west, there is more focus on this Asana limb of the Hatha Yoga system. (this is the first mention of Hatha. What is it?) Ever hear the saying, ‘your body is your temple,’ the idea that your body is structure in which your spirit resides. The Asana branch of Hatha Yoga focuses on keeping a clean, healthy temple so your spirit can thrive. To do this, Asana Yoga blends focused breathing and deep concentration with physical poses. It joins breathing, moving and thinking.
The benefits of yoga are tremendous and entire books have and will be appropriately devoted to them. That why Yoga has been practiced for over 5,000 years and still finds itself in the mainstream of a culture across oceans away from it’s origin. I provide a lengthy list of them in the back and suggest you read as many of them as you can. Though the benefits of yoga are extensive and largely entertained, in this chapter we will focus on those physical. So we will be concerned, primarily, with this third limb and will focusing on one specific type of Asana Yoga practice: Astanga Yoga.
An Astanga Yoga practice has poses dedicated to engage every cell of your body, heart, kidneys, liver, eyes, bones, brain, nervous system. It is, beyond comparison, the epidimy of the perfect exercise, so essential to total health. Oxygenating the system is one of the great benefits of vigorous exercise and the deep, regular breathing inherent in any Yoga practice strengthens the lungs to a point where more air is drawn in with each breath.
Astanga Yoga is the best, most complete form of exercise and it is all you need. Your lungs become stronger with each practice, your body’s muscles and bone fiber become stronger as you perfect each pose.
People often ask, ‘Yoga sounds like good exercise, but I still have to go to the gym and workout and do ‘cardio’ right? If you want to you can, but the Astanga Yoga sequence is totally systematic and it strengthens every muscle in the body, including the heart. To practice a Power Yoga like Astanga for around an hour everyday is plenty of ‘cardio.’

The BBC reported today about the necessity of Micro Flora in our intestines to be vibrant.
This is so important for all or our health, because as the article describes below, we are living in complete symbiosis with over 40 species of 'good bacteria' that produce many health factors for us as a species.
If we take anti-biotics in our life, or drink alcohol or take prescription drugs, which is mostly everybody, it is important to replenish our bacterial micro flora through the ingestion of probiotics. Probiotics are the name of the healthy bacteria that we need to make sure we are constantly re-seeding so that our body can have its symbiotic partners for health. It is kind of like an army of different species whose sole mission is to keep you healthy, since you are providing a home for them (this is the definition of Symbiosis.)
The human gut holds microbes containing millions of genes, say scientists.
In fact, there are more genes in the flora in the intestinal system than the rest of our bodies. So many that they are being dubbed our "second genome".
A study published in the journal Nature details the analysis of the genes, carried out to better understand how the gut flora is affected by disease.
"Basically, we are a walking bacterial colony," said Professor Jeroen Raes, one of the researchers involved.
"There is a huge diversity. We have about 100 times more microbial genes than human genes in the body. We also have 10 times more bacterial cells in our body than human cells," he told BBC News. Most of the microbes present in our bodies live in the gut.
We're basically living in symbiosis with these microbes
Professor Jeroen Raes
The study was led by Professor Jun Wang from the Beijing Genomics Institute-Shenzhen.
Scientists from Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Spain, France and the UK also took part in the international effort, named the European MetaHIT consortium, which has been co-ordinated by Dr Stanislav Dusko Ehrlich.
"Everyone was so motivated," said Dr Dusko Ehrlich. "To have such an exciting project to run - it's a piece of cake. The work went much faster than we expected."
Professor Raes, who works at Vrike Universiteit Brussel, explained why the microbes warranted such an intensive study: "Gut flora is crucial for our health. We're basically living in symbiosis with these microbes.
"The bacteria help digest food, provide vitamins, protect us from invading pathogens. If there's a disturbance, people get all sorts of diseases such as Crohn's disease, Ulcerative colitis, and a link has also been made to obesity."

South Beach Detox in LONDON
The South Beach Detox
You can register now! Call 07958528228- limited to 15 spaces
Welcome!
I welcome you all with my blessings. Please read this entire sheet.
Thank you for your interest in The South Beach Detox. The intention behind this Program is to help people realize significant benefits in their lives by employing simple but effective tools. I will be explaining the relationship between intelligent eating, proper exercise, good rest, and awareness to create an environment for your body to feel true wellbeing. This is a 4 Day Detox, but i am more interested in using these 4 Days as a training ground to teach you some skills that can easily be employed in your daily life and with tremendous results.
Detox programs do not have to be difficult. That being said, they are not designed to be
done without some effort. I have designed this program to maximize the benefits, and
mitigate the challenging parts, but it is possible only to a degree. For it to be a real
detox, your body has to get the deep rest that it needs and this requires a specific
internal and external environment . This program is just such an environment!
General Guidelines:
Detox programs are designed to give the body the conditions necessary for it to expel
stored toxins from the cells and anywhere else it was storing them. This is
accomplished by a two fold approach consisting of reducing food intake and increasing
rest. This combination allows your body to use its vital energy in a direction other than
the attempt to digest food which is the bodyʼs number one energy drain. When the body
has access to this new found (not wasted) energy it uses it to clean its house... and this
is the DETOX.. You may feel much more energized than usual but donʼt
drain yourself in Yoga for these days. Take more childʼs pose, more rest throughout
the class because our primary intention is to conserve energy so the body can use it for cleansing itself.
Throughout these four days please take as many naps as possible. Please avoid any
unnecessary social engagements or demands on your time and attention. These five
days are for YOU! So enjoy the Delicious smoothies, the Yoga, the Meditations in the
program, and the time for yourself. Just go within for this time. Living free of patterns
and habits is very liberating so enjoy taking this opportunity to give your body and mind
a deep cleanse.

FAQs
Can I work during this Detox?
Yes. This is designed to not be overly aggressive and allow you to function in your daily life. It has been specifically created to create the Detox Environment while allowing you to work as you would in your daily life. That being said you will instructed to rest more than usual and avoid all unnecessary social engagements.
What is a Detox and Why Does it Work?
Detox of the Body is initiated through the limitation of caloric intake which allows the body to focus on cleansing rather than digesting. Digestion is one of the biggest drains of our energy in our regular life. Once energy is freed from that task the body uses it to cleanse itself. This program is structured so that your body is receiving all nutritional factors in the context of the caloric restriction. This combination of deep nutrition and body cleansing is a potent tool for transformation.
What is provided in this program?
All Food for the 4 Days- this includes several 'secret weapons' that Fred will introduce and lecture about in his first evenings talk.
