In yoga, we are asked to pay careful attention to every aspect of our breath. Sometimes we have to match our breathing to our movements in and out of the postures. At other times, we use the breath to go deeper into a posture—for example, when we exhale into a twist.
Whether we are working on our breathing as we practice postures or on its own, we should understand that the inhale breath is very different from the exhale breath. The inhale is more energizing and is appropriate for movements that expand and extend. The exhale is more calming and is appropriate for movements that deepen and ground.
When you extend your exhalation, making it longer and slower, you create a calming effect by activating the "relaxation response"--the physiologic opposite of the stress-induced "fight or flight" reaction.

Can You Drink to Your Health?
It’s the most wonderful time of the year (or so the song goes), and between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, there’s plenty of celebrating on the schedule. Bottles will be opened, toasts will be given, glasses will be clinked, and if history repeats itself, liquor sales will increase nearly 50 percent during the month of December alone. If you feel you’re holding up your end of that statistic, you might be wondering what last night’s Champagne cocktail has done for you lately (besides giving you a slight headache). Luckily, there’s a raft of new research to take the blur out of the picture. Click on the links below to learn which drinks your body benefits from imbibing and how to indulge without the drawbacks. Now, that’s something you can raise a glass to.

Practical Advice on How to Start Doing Yoga
Deciding that you want to start doing yoga is the first step. It's easy to get stuck here though. Don't be intimidated! Here is the information you will need to take that next step and start enjoying the pleasures and benefits of yoga.
1. Pick a Yoga Type
A little research will be required on your part. There are many different types of yoga classes out there, and if you pick one that does not suit your personality and state of physical fitness, you may be turned off.
Take a few minutes to read my overview of yoga styles. For most beginners, a Hatha or Vinyasa class will be most appropriate. These are basic styles and you can always try something fancy later.
2. Find a Class
These resources will help you find a yoga class in your area. You can also check local alternative newspapers or wellness magazines for listings or do a search on the Internet for "yoga" and "your town."
Pick a studio that is convenient to your home or work so getting to class will be easy. Make sure you start with a basic level class. Many gyms also offer yoga classes with excellent teachers. This is a good place to start if you already belong to a gym.
3. What to Bring
On the first day, you will not need to bring much except yourself and some comfortable, breathable clothing. Read up on the basic yoga equipment you will encounter. Most studios have yoga mats that can be rented.
4. What to Expect
In a typical yoga class, the students place their mats facing the front of the room (often identifiable by a small altar or by the teacher's mat) in a loose grid. It's best not to line up your mat exactly with the one next to it because you and your neighbor will need some space in certain poses. The students often sit in a cross-legged position waiting for class to start or do some gentle stretching.
The teacher may start class by leading the class in chanting om three times. Depending on the teacher, there may be a breathing exercise or short meditation at the start of class.
This is followed by warm-up poses, then more vigorous poses, then stretches and final relaxation. At any time, take Child's Pose if you need some rest.
Sometimes the teacher will go around to each student during final relaxation and give them a little massage. Most teachers end class with another round of oms.
Congratulate yourself! You just took your first yoga class! You may be a little sore tomorrow.
5. What if I Have No Access to Yoga Classes?
While there are many great yoga books and videos available, there is no substitute from learning directly from a good teacher in a yoga class. That said, if you cannot get to a yoga class, I recommend starting with any beginner's video, as this will give you more visuals to follow than a book.
