10-Minute Yoga Supersets: Better than Another Hour of Yoga
This year, after 15 years of yoga practice and transforming my body, I found myself hitting a plateau. Though my practice regularly involves power moves like jumping forward into Crow Pose and holding Warrior Pose for a long time, my muscle tone seemed to be stuck on autopilot: never decreasing, but never really going to that next level, either. My body, it seems, has become accustomed to the level of my practice. To move past the plateau, I could have just started practicing more. I know what some of you are thinking: “This chick owns a yoga studio and practices a ton … I don’t have that much time.” The magic word here is “supersets” Bodybuilders and exercise physiologists have known about the benefits of the superset technique for years, and it’s time we brought it onto the mat. In yoga we often do one repetition of any given pose — say, Chaturanga (Pushup Pose) — then move on. So instead of staying at the yoga studio for another hour, add a 10-minute superset three times a week.
How To Stand Out On Twitter
One of my new friends on twitter asked me a question recently asking how she could make good people to follow her. So, in this post I have some ideas on how to get followed, be follow-worthy and stand out on twitter. As I mentioned in this post, twitter is not just about being followed and followed back. A twitter profile boasting of amazing content easily makes an impact. Make a twitter profile that people would gladly follow. An overall look of the profile is what makes the first impression. For success on twitter is it important to ask yourself the following questions: How can I add value to others’ network? Let’s try to answer them one by one. 1. Ask yourself, are your tweets making a difference? 2. Where can I find information that my followers will benefit from?

New Age
The New Age movement is a Western spiritual movement that developed in the second half of the 20th century. Its central precepts have been described as "drawing on both Eastern and Western spiritual and metaphysical traditions and infusing them with influences from self-help and motivational psychology, holistic health, parapsychology, consciousness research and quantum physics".[2] The term New Age refers to the coming astrological Age of Aquarius.[1] The movement aims to create "a spirituality without borders or confining dogmas" that is inclusive and pluralistic.[3] It holds to "a holistic worldview",[4] emphasising that the Mind, Body, and Spirit are interrelated[1] and that there is a form of monism and unity throughout the universe.[5] It attempts to create "a worldview that includes both science and spirituality"[6] and embraces a number of forms of mainstream science as well as other forms of science that are considered fringe.

Habits Of Mind
Step 1 – Valuing Habits of Mind for yourself: For the Habits of Mind to have meaning for students they have to have meaning for teachers.
