I am a pediatric physical therapist and I have been using three minute eggs for several months to help the children learn about their bodies, support their posture, and be playful at the same time. The children love them. We continue to find wonderful ways to use them.

I love the 3 minute eggs, they have an endless amount of uses and I find them to be very valuable not only in my own home practice, I like to use them for arm balances, but for many of my students who are dealing with issues like arthritis, carpel tunnel and other aches and pains in general. I love the way they can move through a group practice without having to adjust and readjust the bricks. Have not used Silver Linings yet, but they sound great!

I teach yoga in Madrid, Spain, and I first learnt about the 3 minute egg through an ad in Yoga Journal magazine. I found the idea so clean, and so simple that it seemed almost brilliant to me. I have some students with problems in their wrists that are finally practicing arm balances, thanks to the eggs. Other students love them for opening up their tight backs, they feel great. Definitely, a yoga prop that’s worth a try. Hard to believe nobody thought of it until now! (more…)

Forgive me for gushing, but today I awoke to slew of new orders, and I just couldn’t figure out where they were coming from!  I finally glanced at my Google Analytics and found over 300 referrals from RealAge.com. Evidently they had written an article about the benefits of yoga for back pain, and named the Three Minute Egg® as Editor’s Choice for back pain yoga!  Evidently they have a large following because over 300 of their readers clicked on the link and I’ve been packing boxes all day.

Thank you, Real Age, for the Editor’s Choice selection.

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!

6 Ways to Reduce Back Pain

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

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. BUsing Three Minute Egg Seated in a Chaire 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…)

Midwest Yoga Conference — Annie Carpenter, Cornell Colbert, Bahia Ohlsen – Yoga for Fertility

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

Yoga Mandala

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!
