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…)

Seniors and the Three Minute Egg®

Seniors doing yoga

The Three Minute Egg® is great for seniors!

 

I love the Three Minute Egg®!  You introduced them to me when I was in LA for the Yoga Therapy Symposium in 2009.

I love them for me because they are wonderful to open up my spine in bed or on a yoga mat.  I lay over them top of spine to bottom with the highest part of the egg at the thoracic spine and they help me fall off to sleep and also to wake up in the morning.  Sounds contradictory I know but it’s true.

If I’m feeling overwhelmed and emotional (more…)

Asanas (Poses) for Fertility

Seated TwistWhen I say, ‘Don’t try these at home.’ what I really mean is, please use caution when trying the poses described here, even though they’re not particularly advanced. If you have any questions or concerns, it’s always good to consult your yoga instructor and proceed slowly.  If you don’t know whom to ask, contact us and we’ll connect with you someone knowledgeable.

Developed for couples trying to conceive, yoga for fertility adds several postures that can help increase the chances of pregnancy. Fertility yoga also works to balance the body’s hormones and helps direct energy to your reproductive organs, all of which can make your body more receptive to conception.

If you’re interested in trying fertility yoga, here are a few yoga postures to explore: (more…)

Yoga Eases Back Pain

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…)
