Yoga is an ancient practice that’s sought to unite a person’s body, soul, and mind for whole body health and wellness. Today, yoga has been refined and used as a routine that boasts many health benefits and restorative exercise planning for men and women around the world. Some studies have shown that yoga poses health benefits in potentially helping with anxiety, depression, stress, and helping reduce inflammation in the body. Thus, yoga can go far beyond aiding in balance and flexibility by taking part in exercise routines designed to restore function to your core, pelvic floor, legs, hips, and lumbar spine.
As someone who has experienced a severe back injury and benefitted from restorative yoga, I prioritize how I move in my programs. Instead of reducing exercise, I have developed techniques for continuing yoga and exercise that prioritizes movement safety dynamically. In this article, I will address yoga poses I use in my program that focus on:
Building strength, even during stretching
Maintaining good alignment and form
Wise and dynamic sequences that challenge you but do not break you
What are The 5 Basic Types of Yoga Stances?
In the practice of yoga, there are 5 basic stances or types of yoga. In order to find the right program for you and which yoga best suits your needs, it may be helpful to give an overview of the most commonly practiced types of yoga. Below is a list of the 5 basic types of yoga.
Standing Poses: Standing poses are often a warm-up practice to help prepare your body for movement. In slow flow yoga, standing poses are often practiced in longer sequences with stages of rest in between.
Balancing Poses: Balance poses are great for beginner’s. This form of yoga can help build the necessary core strength for more advanced movements, postures, and stretches.
Seated Poses: Seated stretches are great for loosening hips and hamstrings after a workout or at the end of your yoga class. Using a pillow or folded blanket for your bottom can help make these stretches a bit more comfortable.
Supine Poses: Resting poses and positions are important to learn for break periods. These positions can continue to relieve and loosen your hips, hamstrings, and provide gentle twists and inversions.

What are 9 Yoga Poses?
My program is designed to teach men and women how to help their bodies become more responsive in their daily activities. This means training the body to engage and respond appropriately when engaging in lifting, walking, standing, and other daily light activities. Posture, breathing mechanics, and how you move your body are crucial to full body health and wellness.
Below I will address a few asanas positions and stretches that I encourage in my yoga practice.
Tadasana (Mountain Pose)
The mountain pose is a standing position. This position aids in helping engage the major muscles groups while improving focus and concentration. This pose is the starting position for all poses within the asanas yoga practice. To begin this stretch:
Stand with your heals apart with your arms resting at your sides. Gently lift your toes and the balls of your feet while spreading your toes – laying them gently back onto the floor. Distribute your body weight evenly between your feet. Begin lifting with your ankles and firmly flexing your thigh muscles while rotating them inward. Inhale through your ribcage, as you exhale, relax your shoulder blades. Elongate your neck and gently broaden your collarbones. During this position – your body you are aligned: ears, shoulders, hips, and feet should be aligned. When you first begin practicing, you may want to ensure proper alignment by standing with your back against a wall. Remember to breathe appropriately and not forcefully during these poses.
Vrikshasana (Tree Pose)
The tree pose is another asanas movement that helps improve balance and strength in your legs and lower back. To practice this pose:
Place the right foot of your left thigh – your sole should rest flat on your thigh and be placed firmly. Try to keep your left leg straight and balanced. Inhale while lifting your arms above your head toward the ceiling, bringing your palms together. Keep your spine straight and take a few deep breaths. As you slowly begin to exhale, gently bring your hands down to a relaxed position and lease your right leg. Repeat these steps with the opposite leg.
Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward Facing Dog Pose)
Downward facing dog stretches the hamstrings and chest while lengthening the spine. This position can also increase blood circulation helping you feel more energized. To perform this pose:
To begin, start on all fours – knees and hands firmly placed on the ground aligned with your shoulders and hips. It may be easier as you begin learning this position, to start with a downward facing”puppy” pose. Remain on your knees, and slowly shift each elbow down to where your hands previously rested. Gradually shift your knees a few paces back, and gently lower your heart to the floor while lifting your butt – head and spine aligned. Gently move your shoulders away from your ears and stretch, breathing deeply, yet gently.
To perform the downward facing dog, begin in the same position as before. Begin by lifting each elbow of the ground slowly and then raise your knees: elbow, elbow; knee, knee. With arms outstretched, lift your buttocks up, with your head and spine aligned, lowered toward the floor. It may help to pedal your feet as you remain in this position instead of staying static. Breathe deeply. Repeat.
Trikonasana (Triangle Pose)
The triangle pose is a great pose to help with hip mobility, stretching your legs and torso, as well as encouraging deep breathing. To begin this pose:
Stand with your feet wide apart. Shift your right foot to a 90 degree position while keeping the leg closer to your torso. Firmly place your feet into the ground, keeping your weight evenly distributed between both feet. Inhale deeply. As you exhale, slowly lower your arm to the floor while lifting your left arm up. Keep your waist straight and ensure you are bending sideways and not backward or forward. Continue breathing deeply and stretch as much as you can. Repeat with your left side.
Kursiasana (Chair Pose)
This pose is one that can be a bit challenging to do. However, it is a powerful pose that helps strengthen your legs and arms. In order to perform this pose:
Stand with your feet slightly apart, about a thumbs print between your feet. Stretch your arms straight out without bending your elbows. Now, this is the part that can be more challenging. Inhale deeply and as you exhale, begin bending your knees, pushing your pelvis downward like you are sitting on a chair. During this shift in your position, it is important to keep your back and neck straight. Posture and balance are important for this. It may be helpful to begin bending your knees in a way that your body tends to do – this can bulge your belly and keep your back a bit angled. During this stage, place one palm gently on your low back above your tailbone, and the other on your belly. Gently push your tailbone downward while lifting your torso into a straight, up and down, position. Take deep breaths and bend gradually.
Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose)
This stretch is great for your lower back muscles and opening your chest for deep breaths. The cobra pose can aid in cushioning the spine, triceps, and aids in spine flexibility. To begin this pose:
Lay with your belly flat on the floor, legs and arms outstretched close together. Slowly place your hands below your shoulders and keep your feet and toes flat on the floor. Push your weight in through your foundation, shifting your shoulder blades closer together, and gently lift your chest and head up while deeply inhaling. Remember to make sure you are not pinching in your shoulders or neck. Gently engage in this motion, keeping your head tilted back and your shoulders away from your ears. As you return to the ground, exhale.
Paschimottanasana (Seated Forward Bend)
The seated forward bend improves flexibility of the hips, hamstrings, and the back while lengthening the spine. To perform this pose:
Sit up straight with your legs outstretched, close together, with your toes pointing outward. Inhale deeply, raising your hands up over your head toward the ceiling. Stretch your spine by lifting upward, keeping your foundation firmly in place. While you exhale, gently outstretch your body, bending forward from the hips toward your feet – chin moving toward your toes. Place your hands wherever they reach, and place your face down between your shins or in between your knees. Inhale deeply 3 or 4 times as you elongate your spine – keeping your navel close to your knees. Stretch your arms back out, and lift from your hips, keeping your arms outstretched. Once you are back in a seated position, slowly lower your arms back down.
Child’s Pose
The child’s pose is a restful posture that restores physical and mental vitality. This can be a great pose to insert in between more challenging positions. To begin this pose:
Bend your knees and place your feet together like a triangle. Make sure you gently lower your body to a restful sitting position on your heels. While keeping your hips and butt firmly on your heels, lower your head down toward your mat. Place your hands forward close to your side. Press your heart against your thighs and breathe gently.
Sukhasana (Easy Pose)
Despite Sukhasna translating to easy, this pose is not always easy for beginners. Think of it more as a pose of ease rather than an easy practice. Sukhasana is a centering pose that is most commonly used for meditation, you may be familiar with the stance without ever actually performing the pose yourself. It is a comfortable pose that is great for beginning your yoga practice. To perform this pose:
Sit in a comfortable position, with your legs crossed (criss-cross, applesauce style). If sitting on your mat is a bit uncomfortable for you, you can use a yoga block or a folded blanket to sit on. Keep your spine straight and place your hands on your knees. Relax your body and breathe deeply.

These positions mentioned above are a great place to begin.

Take Care...God Bless...and Happy Photo Taking!!!

The older you get, the more you begin to appreciate the availability of time. Your time is limited, but how do you prioritize for things which are important?
I used to put priority in terms of categories: work, self, love, family. But when you group things into categories then sometimes you have exceptions and rules with exceptions are tricky to follow.
So now I only ask myself one question: “Is this worth doing if I die tomorrow?” If it is worth doing, then I do it. If it is not worth doing then I postpone it as long as postponing so will not affect anyone else.
This I learned mostly from Steve Jobs, which before his death gave a commencement speech at Stanford which has affected me deeply [1].
Is this post worth writing if I die tomorrow? I believe so. And therefore it is written and posted.

This series of images delves into the enigmatic beauty and layered history of Venice, Italy, through an abstract lens, employing the scumbling and dry brush oil painting techniques. Each piece is a study in contrasts and textures, evoking the city's unique spirit and its constant dance with the elements. The use of cold, detached atmospheres alongside distressed and weathered surfaces speaks to the resilience and survival of Venice amidst its challenges. The incorporation of "havencore" and "warmcore" elements, along with a palette that prioritizes white and saturated blues, adds depth and emotion, inviting viewers to experience the city's dual nature of refuge and exposure.
The artworks move beyond traditional representations, infusing each scene with dramatic intensity and hyperbolic expressions to capture the essence of Venice's struggle and splendor. Labor is depicted not just as a physical act but as a poignant part of the city's soul, rendered through rough gesturalism that strips away the gloss to reveal raw, compelling truths. The dazzling chiaroscuro and striking contrasts of light and dark masterfully highlight the city's architectural marvels and the ephemeral beauty of its everyday moments, creating a harmonious chaos that is both unsettling and captivating.
This series aims to transport viewers to a Venice reimagined, where the interplay of light and shadow, the richness of saturated pigment pools, and the tactile quality of the painting techniques combine to offer a new perspective on the familiar. Through these images, Venice is seen as a living, breathing entity, marked by centuries of wear but standing resilient, its beauty undimmed by the passage of time. The absence of heavy paint strokes emphasizes the subtlety and complexity of the city's narrative, inviting a closer look and deeper reflection on its enduring allure and the stories etched into its very stones.
Poem: The Quiet Hours
In the quiet hours of the fading night,
Where shadows dance in the moon's soft light,
And the world whispers in tones so slight,
There lies a beauty unseen, out of sight.
Beneath the velvet cloak of the starry sky,
Where dreams take wing, and thoughts fly high,
The silent streets hold secrets, by and by,
As the gentle breeze sings a lullaby.
In the heart of the forest, where ancient trees stand,
Their leaves tell tales of a distant land,
A place where time holds still its sand,
In the quiet hours, so grand and so bland.
By the murmuring streams, under the watchful moon,
Where flowers bloom in the light of June,
The night unfolds its hidden boon,
In whispers of the dark, a silent tune.
In the quiet hours, there's a deep connection,
A moment of peace, in introspection,
A journey within, in quiet reflection,
Finding solace in nature's perfection.
As dawn breaks, and the night fades away,
The quiet hours gently sway,
Leaving behind the tales of the grey,
In the warmth of the coming day.
Haiku: Twilight's Whisper
Twilight's soft whisper,
Day and night's fleeting kiss,
Silent beauty speaks.
Life is precious, but why do so many of us de-prioritize or not recognize the things that matter the most? In this video I'll share a true story about Fredrick; a man who was so caught up in his work and embodying the financial success of the American Dream that he failed to recognize what was most important. Fredrick often told his wife that he'd retire in a few years and THEN he'd have plenty of time to spend with his family. Unfortunately Fredrick never got the chance to retire. At 51 he was killed in a car accident.
So many of us are consumed by all the things that don’t really matter in life and it’s typically only through tragedy or facing adversity that you recognize what’s most important in this life.
Life is precious. What are you doing today to make time for the things that truly matter? A couple years ago, I was Fredrick. Living in the future and for the future. I was consumed with being financially successful and didn't recognize what mattered most and what was right in front of me.
Finding the most suitable person for a job is difficult. Not everyone with the same diploma from the same university automatically qualifies. Getting to know a candidate is more important than getting to know his resume. Unfortunately, most recruiters prioritize backwards.
While the Dominican Republic generates a relatively low volume of radioactive waste, it has prioritized their safe and secure treatment. Any disused radioactive source identified in the country is transported, characterized, classified, conditioned and stored in a centralized facility built in 2010 in Sierra Prieta, outside the capital Santo Domingo.
Around 170 sources from applications in hospitals and industry as well as so-called orphan sources — radioactive sources that are lost and then found again — detected in scrap metal industries have found a home in the facility. Some are high-activity sources, meaning they emit high levels of radiation, such as those used in radiotherapy to treat cancer. Others are low-activity sources, such as those used for industrial and research applications. Other disused sources come from mining, agriculture and construction.
The facility is equipped with radiation detectors provided by the IAEA. A team of professional staff trained under IAEA technical cooperation projects is in charge of the operation, maintenance and regular inspection of the storage facility.

Althea Grant is in the center of this photo. Her daughter Cameron is to her left in the photo, daughter Camille is to her right and daughter Chloe is below her. That’s her stepson Djimon above her.
Althea Grant: “When I was pregnant with each of my daughters Camille, Cameron and Chloe, it was a great excuse to prioritize taking better care of myself in order to have a healthy pregnancy. I got better at it with each pregnancy. By the time I was on pregnancy number three I knew to:
• Get at least 8-9 hours of sleep each day and some naps on the weekend. This is a habit that has stuck with me and I still take naps with my toddler on the weekends.
• To put my feet up , especially toward the end of the pregnancy to prevent swelling.
• To begin to prepare for breastfeeding and pumping even before I delivered because maternity leave goes by quickly. Having a good pumping habit before I returned to work made it easier to stick to once I returned and boosted my supply of milk for the babies.
• To get out and get active with the baby as soon as I could because it wards off the postpartum blues and speeds up the recovery (I had three C-sections).
• To every once in a while have weekends when we wear pajamas all day and do nothing but eat, sleep and watch movies.”

I really like Rumi’s back view. I think I managed the shape of her iconic long braid in a simple yet effective way.
Mira’s back hair, however, is a little underwhelming, mostly due to its excessive roundness. Undortunately, the current brick palette of dark pink is still quite limited, so I decided to prioritize smoothness over fidelity.

Sometimes because we’re so busy getting quickly from point A to B, we don’t spend time observing the journey and before we know it, the journey is over. To avoid this kind of result, the Buddha prioritized wisdom that arises only from observation over that which arises through thinking and analysis. When we observe, we keep our eye on the real objective which is happiness moment to moment, instead of satisfying the next craving which is usually a mirage. Thinking and analysis is more often concerned with the mirages rather than enduing satisfaction.

The North Korean Songun (선군정치), or "Military First" policy, prioritizes the Korean People's Army (KPA) in affairs of the state and allocation of resources. This has a profound effect on how North Korea operates, which ultimately trickles down throughout the country.
With one of the largest standing armies in the world, you can find soldiers everywhere you go in North Korea. The KPA even runs its own factories and farms. While driving through Nampho, I saw this rather unexpected scene. While North Korea does use machinery in agriculture and transport, this was a pretty rare sight throughout my tours. I would think this is more common in the countryside, but eventually there are limits to how much of the country you can see.
Another view of front desk surface.
Every morning, I write down the tasks I must complete for the day in the planner. The tasks are prioritized. Beside the prioritized tasks is a separate column for what I *actually* do each day, broken down by half hour for timesheet purposes.
I use this for work, my comic company, and home life to keep myself sane. If I lost this planner, I would die. Possibly in a fire. But not before I found out who took it from me and shared the fate with them. I'm generous like that.

Although still a relatively poor country with many people living in poverty, Swaziland has prioritized expenditure on infrastructure and modernizing the country as a development strategy. A good example of this is the MR3 highway that runs from Ngwenya border, past the capital city of Mbabane and down to the industrial hub of the kingdom, Manzini. If you travel here, be assured that your hotel will be well connected to local attractions by a network of similarly top quality tar roads.
