The purrfect pose Posted on September 27, 2009September 30, 2009 The practice of the Surya Namaskar touches all aspects : body, mind and soul. I particularly like this exercise as it’s a great way to stretch parts of the body which normally don’t get much action. :-p Some visuals that show the steps. So apparently, we use only 35 to 40% of muscles in daily activities. The rest of the muscles remain inactive. The Surya Namaskar is a physical exercise where almost 95% to 97% of your muscles are switched on to active mode. Some benefits: – Eliminates unpleasant smells from the body. – Lends grace and ease of movements to the body. – Revives and maintains the spirit of youthfulness. – Broadens chest and beautifies arms. – Makes the spine and waist flexible. – Produces health, strength, efficiency and longevity. Need anymore reasons to start your daily dose? And if you’re wondering how cats maintain their feline grace, here’s an example of Kit Kit doing her bit of the namaskar!

Patita patata… Posted on October 3, 2005October 3, 2005 Something I haven’t done in a while ever! Party till 2 am and give an exam at 9 am. All in the honour of birthday gal Vaish. We started on Friday evening. Resumed on Sat evening. And ended on the wee hours of Sunday morning. Now that’s one hell of a long celebration. And it feels like we’ve been celebrating her birthday most of the weekend ïŠ Babes, you are one rocking woman!

A day in Delhi Posted on May 5, 2006May 5, 2006 I was in Delhi for a day and thought I’d try and find myself a pair of trekking boots. A friend of mine recommended Ansal Plaza, so I headed there around 8 pm after the day’s work. Unfortunately, most shops were shutting down.

Anita Recommends The search for good food in Pondicherry Posted on February 13, 2013March 12, 2013 It’s no secret that I love good food. And I will go to extreme lengths to find it! I chanced upon the Banana Cafe, thanks to my sister who currently calls this town her abode. It was a small hole in the wall operation, but going by its popularity, I… Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print Read More
I completely agree with u!! I’ve been doing yoga for 1.5yrs and I’ve derived IMMENSE benefits thru it!! The best part is suryanamskars can be used for different purposes.Doing it slow and holding each pose for long builds flexibility/strength whereas doing it fast is a good cardio workout. Doing 108 builds the stamina 🙂 Reply
