What is a Revelation?

I think it only appropriate to let you know why I have named my website yogarevelation.
The word revelation defined is something revealed, not previously known or realized. As a noun, it is defined as an experience that proves to be different from expectations. The practice of yoga has the power to manifest revelations within yourself and the benefits are outstanding. Yoga is a physical practice that has the ability to link your mind and body as one through your breath. As the link becomes stronger and completely united, revelations about yourself and your priceless gifts will emerge. Don't be impatient in your anticipation of revelations; instead, enjoy the practice of being present and when you least expect it, something beneficial you did not expect will emerge. Enjoy the revelations as they come and let them guide you on the path that is right for you. Namaste' (translated: The Divine Light in me honors the Divine Light in you.)

To keep it simple, (good philosophy, by the way) the first gland to be addressed is the adrenal gland. The adrenal gland is right above each kidney. Their primary function is to release hormones in response to stress. These stress hormones are cortisol, epinephrine and aldosterone. Cortisol and epinephrine get the heart to beat faster, gets the digesti

Inversions, Hormones and Yoga

Inversions are an integral component of not only a good yoga practice, but good health. As kids, we used to hang upside down from the jungle gym like monkeys, do somersaults, or swing as high as possible gripping the swing's chain and leaning back to get the feel of flying. Little did we know it, but our bodies were getting some great internal benefits. Besides being fun and giving a sense of daring to play to edges, we were giving our endocrine system a chance to share its magic. Use your yoga practice to re-ignite the smiles you had just being a kid. And, for goodness sakes, do not let the ingrained thought "I'm too old to do this..." deter you from doing what can make you happy at any age. First of all, there are medical contraindications for inversions. It depends on the style of inversion and the physical ailment. (When in doubt, leave it out...until you discuss it with your doctor.)  The body's glands, or endocrine system, produce approximately 50 hormone
