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…)

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!

Toronto: March 26-28
This weekend I’ll be exhibiting the Three Minute Egg at the Toronto Yoga and Pilates show. Last week I sold out of Eggs in Winnipeg at the Live This Life Expo (which I never had time to blog about). I’m pretty excited to see what happens this weekend! If you or anyone you know lives in or near Toronto, please tell them to come out and say “hello.” They might even want to buy some Eggs!
I’d like to especially thank my friend Graydon, who has been kind enough to host me while I’m here in Toronto. She and her friend, Megan (Pilates Instructor) will be helping me run my booth while I introduce my Eggs to Toronto.
See y’all there!

Try this for an added challenge!
When it comes to Advanced Yogis and yoga props, the response is almost inevitably, “Not for me, thanks. I don’t use props.” Many will say that the more they advance, the less interest they have in yoga props, and the less they feel they need them. And so I put forth the following question: What does it truly mean in yoga to be advanced?
The practice of asana inspires us to find where we are on any given day. Making a declarative statement about where we are fails to factor in one of life’s biggest constants — change. Our bodies change, our abilities change, our energy levels change and our goals change. In this article, I invite you to think outside whatever box you’ve placed around advancing as a yogi, particularly when it comes to using props. (more…)

At least a year ago, i came across this yoga journal article which gets right at the heart of the matter. I thought i’d share it with you. Obviously, since I sell a yoga prop, I’m pro-prop. However, I am working so hard to get people to see the Three Minute Egg as more than a prop! Its uses aren’t limited to helping you overcome some vague yogic shortcoming. The Eggs can make your practice so much more fun and accessible. They can even make something things more challenging!
If you haven’t already done so, get yourself a set of Eggs and start Eggs-perimenting. I’m pretty sure you’re gonna love ‘em!
To Prop or Not to Prop
Are props a helpful supplement to your practice, or do they just get in the way? Here’s how to decide when to use—and not use—these tools. (more…)

about Lurie:
Lurie started teaching yoga in 2005, less than one year after a total hip replacement. She joined the Evergreen Center for Yoga as a practitioner when it opened in January 2004. She found that hot yoga helped with pain associated with years of teaching aerobics and fitness (high impact activities), and a car accident in 1997. Following her hip surgery, she was able to rehabilitate through yoga and pilates. Lurie is certified in Hatha Yoga, Level I and in Hot Vinyasa Yoga, Level II. She applies Iyengar style principles of alignment to her teaching through the use of blocks and straps.
By attending an annual yoga conference and week-end workshops, Lurie strives to bring fresh ideas and updated knowledge to her classes. She is also a certified meditation instructor since 1975 and has practiced meditation for over 37 years. Lurie has a BA in social services, a MA in human relations, and a PhD in speech communication. She retired from teaching college in 1996 to have time for world travels, to learn about other cultures and take adventurous scuba diving trips. Lurie teaches yoga and pilates part time.
