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®

Thursday, April 21st, 2011

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…)

Wrist Management – Part 2: Brittle Wrists?

Saturday, October 23rd, 2010

Placing your hands on the forward slope of the Egg protects your wrists

If you suffer from brittle bones, many activities are off-limits. Rock climbing. Sumo wrestling. Tackle football. Even walking can be challenging, what with all those curbs and sidewalk cracks as potentially lethal obstacles. Luckily, there is one activity that can not only strengthen your entire body, but can also protect you from osteoporosis: yoga.

Yoga serves the body in several ways. Yoga can combat stress. A consistent yoga practice gives your body the opportunity to stretch and rest. It can stimulate your bones to retain calcium, assuming you’re getting enough to begin with. (Adequate amounts of calcium—1000 mgs daily, 1500 after menopause—are critical to healthy bones.) Yoga does all this through its weight-bearing poses like arm balances, inversions, and standing poses. Yoga engages your whole skeleton.

The weakest point in the skeleton is, (more…)

Wrist Management – Part 1: Yoga to Strengthen Weak Wrists

Saturday, October 23rd, 2010

By cheating your hands forward slightly, you can reduce your wrist-crease and pain

I have been told there are two kinds of yogis. Yogis who have wrist problems now, and yogis who may develop them later.

When healthy, we tend to take our wrists for granted. We don’t even think about them. Our thoughts race past them on the way to our hands, where most of the real action happens. It’s no surprise, then, that when we feel pain in one or both wrists, we ask ourselves, “What did I do to deserve this?” Or worse, we don’t ask ourselves anything at all and just keep on doing what we’re doing — making things worse.

The tissues that pass through the wrist help give your fingers their remarkable dexterity, but the wrist is the (more…)
