Breathe In, Breathe Out 'Asana is that perfect moment when the body is utterly still, effortless; sensation and breathing suspend themselves so that time comes to a halt.
Then: happiness in a moment of infinity.'

A new report warns people against diets and too much slimming. According to a recent study published by American Geriatrics Society, which you can read in French in today’s Swiss daily Le Temps, you’ll live longer if you are reasonnably round and active, rather than skinny and moving too little.
Payboy magazine is quoted as saying that ideal weight for a woman has dropped 18kg between 1959 and 1989. “Marilyn Monroe was considered sexy at the time. She would have no chance today”, says prof Maake Krusemann from HES Geneva.
Not sure about that…
Regarding Yoga practice… don’t starve yourself , but leave some time between meals and Yoga practice (2 hours after a light meal,four hours after a big meal, according to B.K.S. Iyengar). Enjoy your food. Prepare it yourself if you can. Pleasure and digestion go together. Make sure you eat food you like which makes you sleep well and feel happy. Try to vary the ingredients. Be curious and watch the colours on your plate.
Michèle, Yoga blog writer in France, sums it up: “Les yogi refusent de donner des recommandations trop détaillées: x% de céréales, y% de fruits, z% de protéines par jour etc. Chaque organisme est différent et est soumis aux changements des saisons, à des activités différentes, ses propres biorythmes. Les besoins changent”

Biography Laurence qualified in Vinyasa Yoga with Gérard Arnaud, Paris, in 2008 after 12 years of regular practice in the UK, Japan and France. She also qualified in Pregnancy Yoga with the British Wheel of Yoga in 2011. For her own practice, Laurence regularly attends workshops at the Iyengar Institute in London and in Oxford.
Opened to various styles, Laurence has a preference for Vinyasa sequences which involve connecting postures with breath-synchronised movements. As a teacher, Laurence is aware that Vinyasa can be too strong for complete beginners or students with a medical condition. Her close experience with Hatha Yoga and Iyengar "styles" allows her to adapt her practice to mixed abilities. Her classes are up and running in South Oxfordshire, where she lives with her husband and three children. She loves teaching and hopes to share all the benefits she gets from yoga with her students.
