New Beginnings
Posted On 2009-06-21 , 9:48 PM
As the hatha yoga team grows it is an exciting experience. On Friday, three days ago, I met with an inspiring, talented, and beautiful person who has agreed to work with us. She has been teaching yoga for many years and is a full time professional yoga teacher. She has even been involved with the cultivation of a new branch of hatha yoga that may not be well known yet but will be soon. She personally knew the inventor of this type of yoga and is one of a very small group. She works with local doctors in the community to offer resources to people looking to improve their health with the means of yoga through their doctor's recommendation. She is a yoga therapist and I believe we can work together to bring experiential knowledge to our community on this site that will offer great insight to those looking to achieve higher health goals with great success economically.
One of the challenges with offering alternative medicinal value to the community is that many of our best alternative health therapists, doctors, and professionals in general do not easily acclimate to today’s technological aspects. This is true for many more then just alternative medical professional especially in a time when e-commerce is still relatively new. Typically seeking alternative medical help can be expensive and is often overlooked because of this although it doesn't need to be expensive. After all, in this case the techniques have been practiced for centuries with often zero cost. However, the need for e-commerce where alternative medicine is concerned is very valuable for many reasons. Probably the most important reason to me is that the cost of living in many ways has become difficult to support much less the cost of truly healthy living.
Truly healthy living begins on the most basic levels and that is something many of us are completely out of touch with in our modern world for many reasons. Without going into all of those reasons because it would be a long list the bottom line is that we need to find a way to access basic health care ideals in a cost effective way. Not always an easy task. Since that is one of the founding premises of this site I am very excited to find someone in my community with such a strong talent in the yoga arena that is already striving to achieve similar goals by making associations with medical professionals and therefore, is the perfect addition to our team.
My expressed goal is to bring highly valuable content from the Hatha Yoga History Company to the community at an extremely affordable price, even free on a basic level if you so choose. As the founder this is a long term life dream. This fulfillment is going to be a fantastic journey. I am looking forward to sharing the development and growing with those that participate as business partners and consumers. This truly is a new beginning for me and for anyone looking to start on the path of healthy living for life on an economical level at a time in history where inflation seems to be the cost of a happy life most of the time. I believe we can live healthy and with beauty without the giant price tag it seems we are lead to believe it takes in our world today. Let's do it!

Challenges
So I decided to start this venture to pull myself back to the things that I know will help me live with new physical challenges I face. After experiencing a yucky car accident 3 years ago that caused new issues with my neck and back, loosing my awesome job in the chaos of our current economy shortly after that, and finding myself in the midst of being overwhelmed with the concept of how to overcome the situation I decided to take a different kind of action. I thought what a great opportunity I have to share this journey with others who may be going through similar challenges. See I’m a person that has always wanted to have a positive impact on the world around me but I believe that the only way to do that is to be honest with myself and start by improving me. Since none of us are perfect (after all isn’t that a man made idea) we all have things to work on no matter how fabulous any of us might think we are.
So with little money, hardly any time whilst trying to replace my income and experiencing the burden of constant daily pain from my injuries that won’t go away without some radical solution I decided why not start something. I was told my options were medication (on simple to radical terms), therapy, or surgery. I liked therapy but it became too expensive when I lost my job. I prefer not to take medication since I believe a natural life is healthy and I want to be healthy. The surgery options are very scary since my injuries are in my cervical and lumbar spine. Now surgery isn’t even an option since I no longer have that fabulous job. My solution is to rededicate myself to the practice of yoga. I know from previous experience that the benefits yoga can offer me will help me overcome this constant pain. I’ve had medical professionals confirm that yoga can cause the spine to adjust itself.
I also know from past experience that yoga gives me a sense of well being that I have never been able to achieve with anything else. I lost touch with that over the years of running fast in the rat race we call life. I know there are others who experience similar challenges and I want to encourage people to take the journey to finding balanced well being through utilizing the principals of yoga with me. After all people learn from each other and together we can glean much more from this experience then I can alone. So I invite anyone to share their experiences with yoga and how it has helped them overcome similar hurdles in their life. I know these people are out there and I’d love to hear from you.
