It's easy to make New Year's resolutions, but following up on them isn't always a simple matter, especially when the commitment involves dropping a few pounds and toning up.
This may help: O.C. residents interested in getting in shape in 2009 have a chance to limber up during Yoga Day, a series of complimentary half hour classes run by instructors at Lotus 7 Yoga and Pilates, located in Rancho Santa Margarita.
A disciplined that has been practiced for thousands of years, yoga is known to increase flexibility in the muscles, joints and connective tissue while promoting blood flow to a variety of internal organs, which, say many practitioners, serves to detoxify the body. In addition muscles become stronger and more toned.
Virtually all yoga enthusiasts claim that the practice helps relax and settle the mind, increases the ability to focus, serves as gentle but powerful form of meditation and teaches balance, both physical and mental.
A portion of any yoga merchandise purchased during Yoga Day will be donated to Yoga Bear, a San Francisco based nonprofit that matches cancer patients and survivors throughout the U.S. with classes in their local area.
Yoga Day's classes will take place on Saturday, Jan. 24. Visit Lotus 7's Web site to see the event's class schedule.
