The Yakable Three Minute Egg

Monday, May 30th, 2011

Thank you everyone for ‘Yakking” about us.  We won!  We have officially joined the ranks of “Most Yakkable!!!”

Below is the list of amazing things people have said about the Eggs.  Thanks to everyone who contributed.  Happy reading!  (and it appears you can keep on yakking about the Eggs if you like, so go for it!)

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…)

Yoga Deals Reviews Three Minute Egg®

Tuesday, October 26th, 2010

I feel a combination of gratitude and astonishment when people review the Three Minute Egg® and have this many positive things to say.  I of course think it’s a great product, but I’m supposed to feel that way.  I invented it!  When other people take the time to share their thoughts and recommendations, all I can say is, “Thank you.”  So today I am saying a belated ‘Thank you’ to Yoga Deals for doing such a nice write-up on my product.  If you have anything you’d like to add, please do!  And please share this with your yoga community.  I really appreciate it!

design within stretch – three minute egg – product review

the three minute egg is the new block on the mat, but what’s with the name? according to the founder and ‘recovering’ furniture maker, jason (aka creative dude with a bad back), the name was hatched (i couldn’t resist) because of the “great benefits [that] can come from a practice where one holds challenging poses for up to 3 minutes & restorative poses for at least 3 or more.” jason also mentioned, that we should be on the lookout for… (more…)

New York Yoga Magazine Reviews Three Minute Egg®

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

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.

More Asanas (Poses) for Fertility

Monday, July 5th, 2010

Yoga for fertility uses several postures to 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 more yoga poses to try:

  • Inverse stands—such as Supported Headstand, Supported Shoulder-stand…, as long as you are (more…)

NY Yoga Raw Food Expo

The Three Minute 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!

Kudos From a Customer

Joyce bought the Eggs-travaganza in Tibetan Orange

Every once is a while, someone writes me a review of the Three Minute Egg which is simply too good not to share.  So I hope you’ll pardon the indulgence, but I’m going to post her review of the Eggs here on my blog.  I would encourage any and all of you to send me your thoughts on the Eggs.  You can do so using the contact page.  I’ll post them here or somewhere.  Thank you Joyce!

(Believe it or not, we live in the same town but have never met….)

If you are hesitating, don’t.  I am so glad I bought this product.  I find the Three Minute Egg incredible. (more…)

Flexibility of the Mind – Advanced Yoga and the use of props

Yoga Handstand with Three Minute Egg

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…)
