Welcome to Yoga HutPeople everywhere are learning the benefits of adding yoga to their fitness regimes. With Yoga Fore Golfers, we show you how yoga can have positive effects both on and off the golf course. If you're a golfer and have been thinking about trying yoga, then this is the perfect opportunity to slip off your spikes, and take up a new stance on your mat. At Yoga Hut we’re dedicated to promoting the health and wellness benefits of yoga, particularly as it applies to those of us that are considered to be active older adults, baby boomers, or even 50+. We are living longer and we are learning that we need to stay active both mentally and physically. We want better nutrition, exercise and fewer toxins in our environment. And we’re coming to yoga in greater numbers because it compliments our proactive urge to self-improve and decelerate the aging process. Imagine a journey without end that is as enjoyable and rewarding with your first step as it is with your thousandth step. This is the philosophy of yoga at Yoga Hut. |

Pose of the Month
The posture we focus on this month is Adho Mukha Svanasana or Downward Facing Dog Pose. It is also known as Down Dog or Downward Dog. This
pose is arguably the most
well known of all yoga poses probably due to its prevalence in so many
yoga practice routines. It is often used as a transitional pose between
standing and mat postures, particularly when practiced as part of the
Sun Salutation, but has many benefits in and of its own right. Down Dog
stretches the back and the backs of the legs, opens the chest and
builds upper body strength. It intoduces a gentle inversion which also
stimulates the brain and the nervous system.
For
further information on the benefits of this posture together with some
instructional words on the execution of this pose, see the Poses page
or click on the stickman image.
