Yoga: Three reasons you should not do Sitting Forward Bend

The reason for Yogasana (popularly know as Yoga) to gain popularity are numerous ranging from releasing stress, flexibility to helping patient suffering from various diseases. Although the initial objective of Yogasana (Yoga) in Raja Yoga was different, however the ability of yoga to help patient with various ailments is really praiseworthy.

The Sitting Forward Bend is one of the most demanding postures of Yoga. In this pose the body is folded almost in half, providing an intense stretch to the entire back of the body, from the scalp down to the heels.
Students often struggle in this asana. If you pull yourself forward using your shoulders and arms you will create the tension through your body and you will end up tightening your muscles and this will not allow you to get into the posture any quicker. While doing this asana give some time for the muscles to stretch and to release the tension. Often, because of tightness in the back of the legs many students do not go very far forward. For those who find it difficult to do the full Sitting Forward Bend they can do the half pose using the right leg and the right hand at a time for a few breaths and than practice with the other leg and hand.

The Sitting Forward Bend stimulates the kidneys, liver, spleen and pancreas improving digestion in the body. The pose tones and massages the entire abdominal area and it relieves constipation. It stretches the hamstring muscles, lumbar and sacral regions and increases flexibility in the hip joints. Regular practice of this asana removes excess weight in the abdomen area. 

Three important reasons (out of many) not to do Sitting Forward Bend:

1) A person who suffers from slipped disc and sciatica should not practice this powerful asana.

2) Anyone who has asthma should not attempt to practice this pose.

3) If you are in the first trimester of pregnancy avoid this asana as it puts stress on the womb. After the first trimester you can practice the pose very gently with your legs slightly apart.

Good planning will help you make a smooth business relocation

Budgeting, goal setting, business planning - all are business objectives in the fourth quarter of the year. As businesses plan for 2006, I'd like to challenge all decision makers to not only think about the big-picture changes they want to make, but to also add one more item to the list - real estate.

Whether your organization owns it or leases it, let us challenge you to make your corporate real estate a top priority next year.

There are two main reasons why real estate should be considered in strategic planning. For most organizations, real estate is one of the largest expenses, right up there with payroll. However, few organizations ever make a priority to evaluate and analyze their real estate needs. Often times they end up paying too much for their space or property.

If your lease is expiring anytime in the next two years, now is the time to start developing your corporate real estate plan. You should be planning for your long-term real estate needs. You should also be strategically aligning those needs with space availability in the marketplace. This is one of the quickest ways to control your operating expenses and increase profitability.

These days it's a tenant's market. With plenty of vacancy among the multi-tenant commercial buildings, there's more competition for occupancy.
Two years ago, the vacancy rates were over 20 percent. Now vacancy is around
15 percent, and in another couple years the vacancy will be much lower. It's a great time to take advantage of current market conditions.

As you formulate your real estate plan, take a moment to consider the
following:

Start early. You start looking 12-to-18 months before your lease expires.
Remember that finding the right facility, negotiating the lease, getting city permits, building the space, and moving can all be very time-intensive steps in the process. Establish a single point of contact.

Relocating your office is a huge responsibility. If you don't have the time to devote to the daily tasks associated with searching for space and organizing the move, appoint someone. This person needs to have a firm understanding of your company's operational and business objectives. Just as importantly, they must be well organized

Make sure you solicit input from your board of directors and/or managers as you get started. Commercial real estate decisions can affect your organization's bottom line significantly. Your board will have a keen interest in the decisions you are making regarding your real estate, so you want to make sure their input is considered.

If you are a non-profit organization, remember that non-profits are non-traditional space users. If you are working with a tight budget or have unique operational needs, be sure to explore different property types. If you are an office user, for example, make sure you consider retail, warehouse, and office-warehouse spaces. If you are running out of options, expand your geography.

If you can work with a short-term solution, look at subleases. These can provide a short-term lease option, potentially lower rates, and flexibility.

Give yourself options. Make sure you explore multiple opportunities to lease or purchase until you are 100 percent satisfied. Not only will other properties provide leverage in your negotiations, they'll give you a backup if "Plan A" falls through.

Many times the help of a commercial real estate broker, real estate attorney, architect and general contactor can save you time and money in the long run.

Unless you can predict the future, ask for options in the lease. That way you won't end up having to relocate when you grow.

Consider a long-term lease. The longer the lease term you can commit to, the better terms you can get. A long-term lease makes it easier for the landlord to keep your rate competitive and still build out your space, pay commissions, etc. Remember there are many ways to add flexibility to your lease. The lease term is just one of them.
