From a previous thread about this:

My Mom had a yoga book from the 70ies. (found it here http://www.amazon.com/Richard-Hittlemans-Yoga-Exercise-Plan/dp/0553277480) I was 14 and found an exercise in it called "Chest expansion" So.... being naive and 14 I did that lots hoping it would expand my 'chest'. Flipping through the pages I found lots of fun things to do like plough and cobra.

When I was 16 I was diagnosed with a lung disease. I was an avid runner, did very well at track & field and suddenly my doctor told me I couldn't run anymore. I was devastated. I explored non-aerobic forms of exercise and rediscovered yoga. I was much more dedicated to it after my diagnosis and continued until I was 28 when I decided I should be a yoga teacher. Been teaching ever since.

They deserve personal attacks for trying to deny their neighbors valuable services though.

I've been practicing various forms of yoga myself since I was in 4th grade when I stumbled onto a book. I was a very frail kid with lots of allergies and severe asthma and zero stamina and I found the exercises in this book - especially the breathing ones - invaluable.

Now, this physical fitness resource so graciously donated by the Jois foundation is to be denied the kids because a bigoted superstitious ignorant couple of bible beaters don't like it (for wholly stupid reasons). And why did they settle in the yoga capital of America again?

They deserve to be ostracized and driven from the community for trying to impoverish our children's lives. They really do. Fuck them. They could choose to simply have their kid not participate - instead they choose to spoil the party for all. I hope they find themselves lonely pariahs and outcasts.

I use the Richard Hittleman book. You can't get much cheaper than that.

It's not the absolute best way to continue moving forward with yoga once you're doing it regularly, but this is a fantastic way to get started. Plus, if you follow this plan day by day, I noticed am immediate improvement in my balance and stretching the first week.

First of all, I would like to say, This is a fantastic idea for a contest! I love that you are using the opportunity to help others reach personal goals!

I'm making this change... I am going to learn Yoga via this book that I already own. It is a daily plan so I will track it by what day I am on and maybe some pictures. I am so out of touch with the physical aspect of my body, I am over weight and way out of shape. I know it will be hard to learn yoga as an obese and un-flexible person, but that will change once I get into it. I would love /u/BunnyLebowski1 to be my first cheerleader as she has already helped me out with helping me improve my health :) And /u/ButteredToast and /u/ReisaD I think would also make some great cheerleaders :)

If I win the prize, the Kindle Paperwhite would be nice so I can spend more time outdoors and more time reading at the same time :)

As for the MP3, I just started a wishlist for that and don't have much on it yet so I don't really have any songs on there yet for this circumstance.

Thanks for the contest, I am happy to accept the challenge even if I don't win the prize!

It's an old but great book - I initially learned Yoga using Richard Hittleman's Yoga in 28 Days book.

Ok, I don't mind DVs.

Telepathy and levitation and OBEs. I specifically used 'Richard Hittleman's 28 day Yoga program

The key is on ab raises is to expel all the air in your lungs, lift it, hold it, and eventually use the back of your abdominals to massage the inner portion of your spine. When you meditate, go into it with the mindset of fighting a monster. Not concentrating must be treated like it's coming at the expense of your life.

My dad had this book when I was a kid, and that's how I started learning yoga.

I know how you feel. I pinched a nerve and tore a lower back muscle in 9th grade after trying impress some seniors in the weight room. Even after physical therapy, if I laid down I could feel dull pains in my lower back, and it gav eme issues on long road trips, too.

Most rolled shoulders come from bad posture, over developed chests, weak upper back muscles, and/or tight muscles. The easiest way to fix it would be to start a well-balanced resistance training program. Check out some stretches to get you going here -> http://www.primallyinspired.com/tuesday-training-exercises-to-combat-poor-posture-and-rounded-shoulders/

A 5x5 Strong lifts program (http://stronglifts.com/stronglifts-5x5-beginner-strength-training-program/) which is simple and straight forward, utilizes full body movements and builds a lot of core strength which could help your posture. This program stresses form over weight so you build amazing balance and core strength! This is assuming you have access to weights, and three open days a week to do the exercises. Make sure to stretch out and warm-up!

Another option would be one of my faves, Yoga! This pretty much fixed my lower back pangs when I would stretch out or lay down. Yoga utilizes stretching and body position, while also stressing form which helps to build posture and core strength. If you have a local gym/club or maybe are going to college, feel free to join them and follow the instructor. Three times a week is good. I also completed this book -> http://www.amazon.com/dp/0553277480
Which was everyday and pretty amazing. This was maybe my second time doing Yoga, and I could hardly do anything at first. Just make sure to follow exactly what it says and you should be able to complete the movements in a short time!

Following that theme, if you don't have access to a gym (I know I don't) or are too poor to afford any outside source resistance training like dumbbells, you can go for my absolute favorite option which is body resistance training! I've been following this program -> http://bodyweightfitness.routinemorning.com/
coupled with Yoga and Judo twice a week for about 2 1/2 months now and have been seeing great results! You can find the exercises online very easily. All you need is like 45 mins, a floor and your body (And some music playing for enjoyment). I do my pull-ups separately at a nearby park when I go out for runs. You can do negatives of most of these exercises to build up to actually being able to do them, so it's great for beginners. It's totally free! **Also if you need a form check or advice http://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness

Last, I would suggest making a note of your posture. Sit-up straight! Stand up straight! Place a sticky note on your monitor that says to do both, in bold letters. Place it on your fridge or bathroom mirror. Soon enough it becomes like muscle memory.

Good luck!
