Yoga Yoga Yoga Styles Beginners Poses & Workouts From Ann Pizer, your Guide to Yoga With Father's Day fast approaching, here are some gift ideas for dads who do yoga. Or if you think your Type-A father could use a little of yoga's magic, here are a few ways to get him interested. Yoga Gifts for Men Lots of idea for the yoga-loving dad here. How about an extra-long premium mat, some cool practice shorts, or a stainless-steel water bottle? Dads love stainless steel. Seriously. Can Men Do Yoga? It's a misconception that yoga is for chicks. Though yoga is very popular with women these days, traditionally yoga was the purview of men. Yoga for Seniors If your dad thinks he's too old to start doing yoga, he's wrong. Older people stand to benefit a great deal from doing yoga at any level. Pose of the Week - Mountain Pose - Tadasana Folks often think yoga is all about those twisty, upside down, foot behind your head poses. And while I'm the first to admit those poses are a lot of fun, yoga is also about really simple looking poses that turn out to be surprisingly challenging. Which brings me to mountain pose. What looks like just standing around is actually an ever-shifting exercise in body awareness and alignment. Next time you come in to mountain pose, take a moment to try to sense your interior alignment: Hips over your ankles, shoulders over your hips, crown of the head over your shoulders and rising toward the ceiling. Make mountain pose the foundation of all your standing poses. It's that important.
