Yoga Earth and Health-Friendly Yoga Products

Wai Lana, world-renowned yoga teacher and host of the long-running PBS television series Wai Lana Yoga Toning workout, excels at making the ancient art of yoga easy and effective for anyone who practices along with her. Her faithful exercise products continue to impress with their quality, durability, and fashionable designs. To the serene and warm-hearted Wai Lana, the teaching of yoga is not a business but an important service to the global community.

“At the heart of yoga lies a deep respect for all living beings, including Mother Earth,” says Wai Lana. “I wanted to offer products that people could really feel good about—something that reflects the harmonious spirit of yoga. It’s only natural to want your yoga products to reflect this same caring attitude.”

Sleeping too little raises risk of heart disease: Japanese study

Sleeping less than 7.5 hours a day may raise the risk of heart disease in elderly people, especially those who have elevated blood pressure at night, a study in Japan has found.

Scientists monitored sleeping patterns of 1,255 elderly people with hypertension and of an average age of 70.4, and followed them for 50 months.

During the followup period, the researchers recorded 99 strokes, heart attacks and sudden cardiac deaths, and found more of them occurred among those who had less sleep.

"The group that had both shorter sleep duration plus the riser pattern (elevated blood pressure at night) had a 4.4 fold increase of cardiovascular disease compared with those with longer sleep duration," the researchers wrote in the latest issue of
the Archives of Internal Medicine.

People are generally sleeping less in modern societies. But getting adequate sleep is essential to preventing problems such as obesity and diabetes as well as several risk factors for cardiovascular disease including sleep-disordered breathing and night-time hypertension.

"Shorter duration of sleep is a predictor of incident cardiovascular disease in older people with hypertension particularly when it occurs with elevated night-time blood pressure," wrote the researchers, led by Kazuo Eguchi at Jichi Medical University in Japan.

They also urged that elderly people with such symptoms to be monitored more closely.
