A Seattle yoga class may spice up your Valentine’s Day romance

With Valentine's Day around the corner, many lovebirds may be weighing the options for romantic gifts: flowers, chocolates, jewelry and other typical treats. Why not try a visit to a Seattle yoga class? After all, studies have suggested that the mind-body regimen may be able to boost energy in every aspect of your life, according to The Huffington Post!

Two research papers, focusing on the effects of yoga on intimacy problems, were published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine. The study conducted on men centered on low libido, which affects up to 40 percent of men. The scientists compared the impact of yoga to pharmacological interventions.

Results showed that 100 percent of the yoga group experienced improvements, compared to 82 percent of those on prescription medicines.

Similarly, another study explored yoga in women who experienced low libido. Because yoga enhances mindfulness, those who practiced this therapy were able to become more aware of the present time and the emotional needs of their partner.

Of course, the benefits of yoga for men and women extend outside the realm of the relationship, as well. According to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, yoga can support stress management, strength and flexibility.

Washington state employment down, but economist encouraged

The Bureau of Labor Statistics recently unveiled a report that indicates many states added jobs in March.

The Regional and State Employment and Unemployment report showed that 34 states experienced decreases to their unemployment rate while seven states saw their rates increase.

The Spokesman Review reports that Washington was one of the states that saw its rate increase, moving to 10.5 percent from 10.4 percent in February.

Doug Tweedy, Spokane's regional labor economist, said that he believed the increase was due to more people looking for employment in March than in February. He said that this was an encouraging sign.

"When jobs start increasing, discouraged workers start looking for jobs again," Tweedy told the news source.

Even though the rate went up in Washington from February, the state added 32,900 jobs from March 2010 to March 2011.

As people return to work in greater numbers, they will want to make sure that they maintain a proper life balance by not only trying to improve their professional selves but their personal selves as well through practices such as yoga.

Northville yoga instructor discusses the many benefits of the relaxing regimen

Yoga classes enhance many aspects of an individual's health, which may be an important benefit as one grows older. Typically, the prevalence of many chronic illnesses and conditions increase with age, and incorporating a relaxing exercise such as yoga into one's lifestyle can prevent their development or reduce associated symptoms.

The Observer and Eccentric, a Washington State publication, reported that one Northville woman has been offering classes to enthusiasts over the age of 30 for years.

Diane Siegel-DiVita knows firsthand the positive impact of meditation on one's life, health and mood.

"Yoga made me feel healthier and centered," she told the news source. "One other great thing about it is that there is always something new to learn. Yoga effectively trains the body to develop strength, flexibility and balance. Relaxation techniques are an important part of my yoga classes."

Siegel-DiVita has helped many students learn how to strengthen their mind-body connection, as well as improve their emotional, mental and physical well-being, through the practice of yoga.
