Chakra Value -- $108
Every once in a while, someone creates a yoga product that makes so much sense, it’s hard to believe it wasn’t always around. This is most certainly the case with the Three Minute Egg®.
Like most skeptics, when I first saw the Three Minute Egg®, I didn’t imagine it would have so much to offer — or at least not so much to offer me. It didn’t take long to convinc and convert me. There is a bit of a learning curve associated with using the Egg, but the time spent is well worth the benefits gained. Jason Scholder (owner/inventor of the Three Minute Egg) brought two yoga instructors with him to the most recent New York Yoga and Raw Food Expo. The three of them spent three days offering private yoga instruction as well as three free workshops. I spent a solid half hour being led through a sequence of blissful supportive postures, and kept looking for excuses to wander back by their booth.

To maintain or restore your health for fertility, you’d do well to seek a balanced diet, keep a regular meditation practice, and get enough exercise. Of course, I could say that about any time of life, and it’d still be pretty good advice. However, these things are especially important when you’re trying to conceive.
Kinds of Fertility Yoga
The type of yoga you do matters as well. Do a gentler type of yoga, where your body, mind, and spirit learn the art of relaxation. Some good examples include Yin and Restorative yoga, as well as slow-flow and subtle yoga. you can still get a tremendous workout, but it doesn’t have to come at the expense of your body’s much-needed energy.
Certain kinds of yoga are considered by many to be too strenuous (more…)

Be sure to contract your abs in order to protect your back.
I’ve always believed that yoga is better for easing back pain than traditional therapies, but now there are an increasing number of studies that confirm it. Below are links to some articles that talk about yoga and back pain. I’ve also found some free yoga videos on treating back pain. The Three Minute Egg will be coming out with a video series on back pain in the next few months. Keep checking with us for updated ideas. In the meantime, Happy Reading!

Back pain can be debilitating. It can hurt whenever you move; it can cause sleep loss; and it can stop you from living your life as fully as you deserve. Yoga is a great way to relieve the pain, and a combination of practices to holistically reduce or eliminate the pain altogether can do even more. Here are a few things we’ve found really helpful.
1. B
e conscious of your posture in your everyday life and correct it when you’re sitting, when you’re moving, and especially when you’re doing any back exercises. Next time you’re seated at your computer, try placing a couple of Eggs behind your back — we recommend the mid-back.
2. Try gentle, restorative yoga. Learn to target muscles that are tight and painful with careful stretches.
3. Swim. It’s an excellent non-impact exercise that works all your muscles, but it’s particularly good for your back. (more…)

NY Yoga Raw Food Expo
The Three Mi
nute Egg will be exhibiting our revolutionary yoga prop, and offering free yoga classes at the NEW YORK YOGA AND RAW FOOD EXPO in NEW YORK CITY at THE HOTEL NEW YORKER from JUNE 11TH –JUNE 13TH. Two teachers will be leading classes on behalf of the Three Minute Egg. Schedule is as follows:
Friday 6:30 pm — Dr. Cornell Colbert – Finding the Asana in You — Murray Hill Room 4th floor. all levels
Your body was not made for the asanas; the asanas were made for you! Find each asana in yourself during this alignment-based class for all levels. Rediscover (or experience for the first time) the magic feeling of comfort in every pose. Take your postures deeper (both physically and spiritually) without the pain.
Saturday 4:00 pm — Mia park — Hanging in the Balance — Murray Hill Room 4th floor. level 2/3
Have you ever wondered how the folks in the front row do all those crazy arm-balances? Untangle the mystery in this Arm-Balancing Flow series. A gentle but challenging flow will help open up the body, preparing you for an advanced finale that’s easy on your wrists! You’ll never feel the need to be in the back row again!
Sunday 3:30 — Dr. Cornell Colbert – Because Your Body’s Not Square — Murray Hill Room 4th floor. all levels
Restorative yoga can do more to purify your physiology than the hottest, hardest class you can imagine. There’s no better way to wind down a 3-day yoga marathon than with a series of effortless asanas. Learn some painless yet profound postures you can enjoy doing at home. Sometimes the hardest work of all is finding stillness in activity. This restorative practice will teach you how to nourish inner activity while you relish remaining completely still.
Want a way to kick off your summer. Please tell all your friends. See you there!

The Three Minute Egg is excited to announce our return to exhibit at the MIDWEST YOGA CONFERENCE outside CHICAGO from JUNE 3rd –JUNE 6th. Last year we were fortunate enough to connect with master instructors Annie Carpenter and Dr. Cornell Colbert, who fell in love with the Eggs and used them in their RESTORATIVE and THERAPEUTIC yoga classes respectively. This year both teachers will be back and they are planning their classes around the ways they’ve found most beneficial to use of the Three Minute Egg®. Additionally (and I am extremely excited about this) Dr. Bahia Ohlsen will be giving a lecture on using the Three Minute Egg® in her Yoga for Fertility presentation on Sunday afternoon. Dr. Ohlsen has inspired the next generation/variation on our product, the FERTILITY EGG. These small Eggs will be very useful in all forms of yoga, Pilates, physical therapy, and back-care. More on that as it develops!
Mia Park, a local Chicago yoga instructor, will be assisting in the booth again this year so come visit!
Please come to the show and enjoy a fantastic weekend of yoga, kirtan, and healthy living. See you there!
