Abstract

How I Turned Back The Clock On Aches, Pains, Stress And Stiffness

"A `scientific' yoga teacher transformed me from `yoga-hating'
fitness trainer to `flexibility guru' -- and showed me the
millennia-old secrets YOU can use to feel younger, stress-free,
flexible and even SLIMMER (WITHOUT chanting a single `omm')"

How science-based yoga will give you back the energy, pain-free
movement and carefree playfulness of your youth -- in as little as 28
days!

An important article by Adam Steer

NSCA-CPT, NCCP 3, AKC, PBSP, MAT-LBS

A decade ago, if you told me I'd be using yoga in my training I'd have
punched you in the nose. [...ok, maybe not... but I would not have been
amused...]

Yep, I used to be a yoga-hater. And I still wouldn't consider myself a
"yoga guy." But I've taught "yoga" classes. And I include yoga-inspired
movements in all the fitness programs I write for my clients.

So how did I become a believer?

It all started in 1999. I was teaching a workshop in Singapore. After a
mammoth 24 hour trip from Quebec City, I was achy, tired and stiff.

Looking back, I guess that was the straw that broke the camel's back. I
looked like I was in great shape on the outside....

But the truth...! I felt like crap! I was tired of waking up with aches
and pains every

morning. And I was frustrated -- I couldn't even raise my right arm
above my head!
aches and pain

"I was tired of aches and pains...!"

Even sitting was a problem. Yeah, can you imagine??? When I got down on
the floor with my legs stretched out, I couldn't sit with a straight
back. I had to lean and support myself on my arms.

"I had NO energy..."

And I was so sick of feeling lethargic every afternoon. I drank cup
after cup of industrial strength coffee just to get through my day. But
the thing that bugged me most...
__________________________________________________________________

"I was wound up like an elastic band waiting to snap

-- but I HATED stretching"

I was an injury waiting to happen. Stuff I could do with EASE only a
few years ago became more and more difficult -- and painful.
pain in knots

"I used to be tied up in knots!"

I suffered from a long string of small injuries. And ALL of them were
set off by what would normally be "safe" movements -- grabbing grocery
bags from the trunk, picking up my nephew, or even getting up too fast
from the couch.

The smallest things caused me pain and discomfort.

I was obviously at a breaking point.

I knew I should stretch. Or something...

I wanted to start taking care of my body. But I didn't follow through.
Why?

"I just hated `stretching'..."

In hindsight, I think it's because I found stretching so darned boring!
I'd add some flexibility and deep tissue work into my program, and then
let it drop...
__________________________________________________________________

"This flexibility method makes you WANT to take the time..."

"I had the time..."

It's not like I didn't have the TIME to stretch. I was working out
almost 10 hours per week. I had time to watch a bunch of stupid shows
on TV. But I still wasn't including the stuff that would actually make
me feel better.

"Then something changed..."

Lucky for me, something changed in Singapore. Like I said, I was there
giving a workshop. And my co-presenter was a longtime friend, Kris
Fondran.

Years before, Kris told me she was deep into the practice of yoga.

I'd never been big on yoga [...I'm just being polite... I thought it
was stupid], so I didn't pay much attention.

But I felt so crappy back then, I was ready to try anything. This
seemed like a golden opportunity. Here I was, hanging out with a
world-class yoga teacher!

And now I can tell you that there IS such a thing as FUN flexibility.
Using it has improved my life in so many ways...
__________________________________________________________________

You CAN feel younger -- by a decade -- in only 28 days

Fast forward just 4 weeks... Wow! It was like I shaved off a decade
worth of aging in only a month!

Can you imagine what that feels like? A month from now, the aches and
pains you feel today are practically a thing of the past. Your energy
levels are twice what they are right now. And you feel confident and
more powerful in every movement you make.

That's what it was like for me.

My shoulder wasn't completely healed. It's not like I was going around
walking on my hands or anything. But I WAS able to raise my arm
straight up over my head without pain!

I wasn't able to fold myself in two. But I COULD sit on the floor with
my legs stretched out and my back straight. I didn't have to lean back
and support myself on my arms anymore.

And I wasn't living in fear. Picking up boxes from the floor didn't
worry me. I wasn't scared of "tweaking" something every time I jumped
up out of a chair.

It didn't happen all at once, though. It just kind of "crept up" on me.
Until one day, while I was dragging the trash out to the curb, I
realized...

I FEEL GREAT! I seriously felt better than I had in the past 10 years.
I could hardly believe it.

But the disappearing aches and pains were only a small part of what I
realized that day...

THIS is what doubling your energy FEELS like...

At first, I didn't really make the connection...

It's kinda like watching a loved one grow older. You don't notice from
day to day. But when you look at an old photo of the person, you
suddenly realize how much he or she has changed.

I'd been following Kris's plan, but I guess I was just on auto-pilot --
hoping it would work. It's only when I started trying to figure out why
I felt so much better that I clued in. The yoga routine was working!

And that's when I made another amazing discovery. I had WAY more energy
than I did just a month before. Without even realizing it, I was no
longer having those afternoon crashes.

I was SLEEPING better at night too. And my energy was steady throughout
the day.

It's almost like I'd been living in a ZOMBIE state before. And I was
finally AWAKE again!

It makes a lot of sense. A 2004 study published in Applied
Psychophysiology and Biofeedback demonstrated significant improvement
in sleep quality among "insomniacs" who added a simple yoga practice to
their daily routine.

And in a 2011 Japanese study, women who practiced yoga scored better on
something called the Profile of Mood States questionnaire. They had
lower fatigue, tension, anxiety and mental disturbance than women who
didn't practice yoga. They also had a higher "vigor" score.

Finally a CURE for your "energy drain"

We live in an "exhausted" society. And I'm sure you've had first hand
experience with the ever present "energy drain" of modern life. What a
relief it is to learn that a simple physical practice can give such an
amazing energy boost. And not just a temporary jolt, but permanent
improvement.

When I looked at the science, I found a lot of good reasons to start
doing yoga. It goes so far beyond that initial "flexibility" I was
looking for.

I'm so glad I asked Kris for help. But to be honest, it almost never
happened...

How a dumb false belief almost left me in

pain and discomfort -- permanently

It's true. I almost passed up my chance to work with Kris. If you're
like me, maybe you would too. Are you jaded by the pajama-clad nonsense
associated with yoga? I sure was...

I'm pretty sure if it had been ANYONE else, I'd have taken a pass...

To understand why, you need to know a little more about Kris.

She may be devoted to yoga, but she's so much more than that.

To start with, she's got a post graduate degree in Exercise Physiology.
And get this... She actually did her Masters Thesis on the benefits of
yoga -- studying the same routine she later used to develop her own
unique teaching approach.

Kris is also a former athlete and a talented coach. She comes from a
figure skating background. And she still coaches young skaters and
hockey players to excel at their sport.

She's even been a competitive marathon runner. She understands the
cause-and-effect relationship between training and results.

Hearing Kris talk about yoga in such a NO-nonsense way was like a
breath of fresh air. I'd finally found someone who could explain this
stuff from a SCIENTIFIC perspective.

Yeah, she hinted at some of the spiritual benefits she tapped into, but
she talked to me about the physical practice of yoga. And that's
something I could relate to.

Introducing Kris Fondran

-- The No-Nonsense Yoga Guru

For over a decade, Kristine Fondran has studied and taught yoga as a
method of increasing flexibility while reducing mental and emotional
stress. Her passion has taken her to more courses and retreats than she
could possibly count, and it eventually led her to embrace yoga as a
way of life, completely immersing herself in the discipline.

Kris also brings a scientific lens to her practice. In a research study
for her Master's Degree in Exercise Physiology, she documented how a
simple 10-minute, twice per day practice of yoga could have a profound
effect, both physically and mentally, even for total beginners.

Inspired by these results, she created the Mobile Yoga Workout to
combine the health and flexibility benefits of yoga with the
conditioning benefits of inline skating. The program took off like
wildfire, appearing in such major publications as Shape, Fitness, Girls
Life, and Cosmopolitan.

The clarity of her presentation and the results she gets with her
clients mean that Kris is in constant demand for seminars and workshops
around the world. She has shared her knowledge of fitness and health,
including her specialties yoga and inline skating, with groups in
Slovenia, Germany, Holland, China, Singapore, Canada and all over the
United States.

"At last, a science-based flexibility program you'll have FUN sticking to!"

Yogo Warm Up

"Every pose had a purpose"

The seed that was planted in Singapore continued to grow. I followed
Kris' advice. I used the routine she showed me every day. And for the
first time I actually had FUN "stretching."

I still think stretching is boring. But Kris' yoga is something
different.

When you start practicing yoga, you'll discover something lost on most
pajama-clad western "gurus." Yoga is NOT about chanting "omm" and
discovering your chakras...

Yoga is more about MOVEMENT than MEDITATION.

That was a huge revelation to me! Don't get me wrong though...

You'll have your moments of "self-awareness" through yoga. But they'll
come as a "side-effect" of mastering the MOVEMENT. And that's what I
really dig!

Kris was able to show me a yoga stripped of superstition and ritual.
She taught me a routine that was all "go" and no "show." Every pose had
a purpose. And it all came together to give me exactly the results I
was looking for -- pain-free movement, agility, energy and focus.

Why yoga is so much more fun than stretching

When you were a kid, did you have something you LOVED to do? Was there
anything you happily spent hours practicing? For me it was basketball.

Even though I'm only 5"6', I had dreams of being a basketball star! And
I spent so many hours mastering my game each and every day -- well,
except in the frosty Canadian winter of course.

I'd get home from school and head out to the court. I'd come back for a
quick supper and go out again until it was too dark to see. And I never
got tired of it. Why?

I got such a rush out of improving my skills. Every day I'd get a bit
better at my jump shot. Or I'd improve my hook shot a bit. Or my
dribbling would improve. I could FEEL it happening.

I didn't enjoy the wind sprints or the long jogs our basketball coach
subjected us to -- there's no skill in that. But I loved the challenge
of mastering the moves.

And that's why yoga is so cool. You're constantly refining your skill
at poses and transitions. Just when you think you've mastered
something, you'll discover a new dimension that takes you even deeper.

That's why you'll always feel drawn to your yoga sessions. And that's
why you'll never be able to stick to a stretching plan.

Science-based yoga is leaps and bounds better

than commercial classes...

Before I get myself in trouble, I have to admit that there ARE some
great yoga teachers out there. But they're few and far between.

The problem with yoga in the Western world -- the yoga you see in most
commercial gyms -- is that something's been "lost in translation." In
other words, most of the yoga you'll find in your neighborhood has been
seriously watered down.

Yoga teachers are getting "certified" through correspondence courses or
2-day workshops. And they don't need to have ANY background in exercise
or teaching.

Authentic yoga teachers with a solid background in exercise physiology
are very hard to find. But they're definitely worth searching for.

Teachers like Kris are able to cut through the fluff and deliver the
full benefits of a no-nonsense PHYSICAL yoga practice. They won't make
you chant "omm" or try to find your chakras.

That doesn't mean they don't respect the spiritual side of yoga,
though. Kris openly discusses the emotional and spiritual benefits
she's enjoyed through her practice. But that's not what she teaches.
Rather, it's a side effect. And it's not the only one...

Goodbye flat butt...! -- the RIGHT Yoga even makes you

LOOK better

The Yoga Butt

The "yoga butt" is for real

Ever heard of the "yoga butt"? No, I'm not making that up. Yoga
practitioners are so famous for having great butts that they even
invented a term for it.

I firmly believe that if you want to look better, you have to actually
change your SHAPE. Losing weight won't do it. It's the form of the
muscle under your skin that gives you your "look."

And good yoga is a fantastic way to redesign your body and shape your
muscles. After all, yoga is a systematic approach to bodyweight
resistance training. You have to actively control the weight of your
body in space during a yoga session -- and that tones and shapes your
muscles.

The most important body parts to develop when you're redesigning your
body are the butt, hips, shoulders and core. By carefully reshaping
these areas, you'll get closer to the "golden ratio" that gives you a
universal visual appeal that's hardwired into our human psyche.

The weight bearing poses of yoga are the perfect way to work on those
key body parts.

Studies show yoga can even help you stay SLIM

But beyond simply sculpting your muscles and giving you a nicer shape,
there's solid evidence that regular yoga practice can even help you
lose weight or avoid weight gain.

In 2005, researchers from Seattle found that overweight people who
practice yoga tend to lose weight. "Those practicing yoga who were
overweight to start with lost about 5 pounds during the same time
period those not practicing yoga gained 14 pounds," says Kristal the
head researcher.

These researchers also discovered that practicing yoga helped people
who were not overweight to avoid putting on extra pounds compared to
those who didn't practice yoga.

One of the ways yoga may affect weight loss is through something called
"insulin sensitivity." Insulin is your body's "storage" hormone --
shuttling energy and nutrients from your blood into your cells.

If your insulin sensitivity goes down, you store more energy as fat
instead of storing it in muscles and other lean tissue.

In 2008, Indian researchers discovered that regular yoga practice of at
least one year increases insulin sensitivity. That's great news if
you're trying to lose fat and sculpt a more shapely body!

Real Life Yoga Study "Lab Rat" Loses Weight

Karen Participated in Kris' yoga study

Karin Faletic, -- Participant in Kris' yoga study

"Kris, the best testimonial I can give is that I learned first hand
the benefits of a yoga routine. Not only did I lose weight during
the time of your study, but I became more flexible, felt energized,
and felt good about my body and self inside and out. Like you said,
it does have a huge calming effect. Just taking the time by
improving yourself with Yoga helps improve your health."

"My "GAME" is better than ever!"

(Your friends will never guess WHY you're kicking their butts!)

I spent over two decades as a ski instructor, and later as director of
a big ski school. For most of that time, I spent HOURS perfecting my
skiing each and every day. Nowadays, I'm getting TWICE the results on
the slopes for HALF the effort.

I'm retired from the ski industry. I ski less than I ever have --
sometimes only a couple hours a week. But my performance hasn't gotten
worse. In fact, I'm skiing better than ever. And I give all the credit
to Kris for introducing me to her style of yoga.

The poses keep me limber. That means I'm able to react and recover from
unexpected situations on the slopes. And my yoga practice gives me a
better feel for the "spacial orientation" of my body. This is critical
in skiing, and it allows me to find my FLOW quickly and easily.

Competitive Figure Skater Turns To Kris To Boost Performance

Natascia Zullo, --Competitive Figure Skater, College Student,
Cleveland, OH

"A few summers ago I chose to incorporate yoga into my training in
order to maximize my flexibility. It is crucial for a figure skater
to be fluid, graceful, and strong; my experience with Kris Fondran
continues to help me attain these qualities. I reached my goal to
improve my flexibility; however, I learned that the key to better
results is maintaining and uniting a healthy mind and body. Kris
made "yoga class" inviting, fun, and enjoyable and I would strongly
recommend her class for the competitive athlete or the exercise
enthusiast."

Keep running for LIFE -- and how Kris improved HER running

Although she no longer runs competitively, Kris still enjoys a good
jog. And thanks to her yoga practice, her joints stay healthy no matter
how much road time she puts in. But that's not all...

Yoga has also given Kris a better and more efficient stride. That means
she can run longer and stronger and get even more fat burning and
endurance building benefits from her workout.

Is it really possible to run without all those overuse injuries and
long term pain?

If you run, you'll be interested in this...

On a 1 mile run, your feet hit the ground a thousand times. Ouch! And
the impact of every footfall is equal to three to four times your
bodyweight. No wonder your knees, hips and low back start complaining!

But it's not running that causes these problems. It's muscle
imbalances.

Every step you take during your run emphasizes these imbalances. And
over time they place wear and tear on your joints and connective
tissue. Until they suddenly "snap"...

But bring your body back into balance and you can keep on running for
as long as you like!

That's what Kris discovered. And that's what YOU can enjoy if you
follow her advice.

Turn your golf swing into a high-precision rifle

Golf Swing Yoga

Every small imbalance ruins your perfect swing

Golf is a gentle sport, right? Think again!

A golf swing travels at 100 mph and involves potentially dangerous
twisting of the spine. And a typical player makes something like 120
swings during the average round of golf.

That's a lot of wear and tear!

If your body isn't in balance, every one of those swings takes you one
step closer to injury.

And every small imbalance you carry gets in the way of the PERFECT
SWING. Tight hips, weak shoulders and a lack of mobility in the upper
back can all sabotage your best efforts at great technique.

You can spend as many hours as you like with an expensive golf pro. It
won't make any difference to your game if your body can't do what your
pro is asking...

I've got more strength and power than ever before

(even at my age)

I'm 40 now. And I can say without reservation that I'm stronger and
more powerful than I've EVER been in my life. I played high school
football. I've trained with weights since I was 14. I spent more hours
in the weight room than I can possibly count. And I've never been as
powerful as I am today.

Why?

I can FEEL my body better than ever. And because of that, I can
contract my muscles harder than I ever could when I was just BUSTING A
GUT trying to push as much weight as possible. Now I can train SMART
instead of just hard.

I developed that body awareness through the postures in Kris' program.

My performance in the weight room has reached a personal peak. But
better still, yoga has kept me INJURY FREE. And that's no small feat
for someone who spends so much time at a desk...

College Football Player Uses Kris' Yoga As Warmup For Practices

Erwin Thomas

Erwin Thomas, -- Cuyahoga County Spartans

"Yoga was great. It helped me focus and relax. It helped me stretch
better and feel loosened up before football practice. Coach Kris was
excellent and the team really appreciated her time."

Which jobs should REQUIRE employees to do PROPER yoga?

"Back in the day" I got to spend most of my time out on the slopes or
on the gym floor working with my clients. But as I've gradually changed
my focus to helping people all over the world by bringing my knowledge
to the internet, I'm spending way more time than I'd like in front of a
computer screen.
Yoga Desk Jockey

Anyone who sits at a desk needs to be doing this stuff!

But -- knock on wood -- my body seems no worse for wear. And that's
surprising, because most of the "desk jockey" clients I work with are
plagued by the typical aches and pains associated with sitting all day
long.

Whether they're at a desk or traveling on commute, they spend most of
their time training their bodies to be "chair shaped." Sloping
shoulders, tight hips and dormant butt muscles are all symptoms of
"Desk Jockey Syndrome" (DJS).

The only reason I don't suffer from DJS myself is because of yoga.
That's why it's the exact same cure I use for clients who come to me
with these problems. And the results are VISIBLE in just 3-4 weeks!

Anyone who sits at a desk needs to be doing this stuff! But they aren't
the only ones.

Jobs that involve any kind of REPETITIVE task should include some form
of good physical yoga practice. Repetition causes muscle imbalances
over time... unless you compensate for it.

Here are a few of the jobs that would benefit from yoga practice:
* Executives
* Receptionists
* Sales reps
* Factory workers
* Nurses
* Writers
* Secretaries
* Waitresses
* And the list goes on...

Are you REALLY "injury prone"?

For years, I thought I was just injury prone. No matter what I was
doing at the time -- football, hockey, sailing, skiing or even just
jogging -- it seemed like I was always pulling or tweaking something.

It's incredibly frustrating to be so close to the top of your game --
or almost at your hard won physique goal -- and then to get injured.
All your progress comes to a grinding halt. And you feel like you have
to start the whole journey over again once you heal.
Yoga Injury Prevention

I rarely get the kind of injuries that used to completely derail my training

Not only that, but once you do feel better you're constantly worried
it's going to happen again. And it usually does. Because the ROOT of
the problem is still there...

Muscle imbalance.

Yep, it call comes back to keeping your body in balance. Nowadays, I
rarely get the kind of injuries that used to completely derail my
training and other activities. I train hard, so I get the odd tweak.
But nothing like back in the day when I was convinced I was "injury
prone."

The simple practice of keeping my muscles in balance has allowed me to
work out harder and play harder without constantly looking over my
shoulder, waiting for an injury to happen.

Nagging BACK PAIN even goes away!

I'm lucky. I've never suffered from serious back pain. But I've got
plenty of clients who have.

And 9 times out of 10, the problem has nothing to do with their lower
back. They usually have tight hips or a lack of mobility in the upper
back. Those are the REAL problems they needed to address. And the
addition of some simple yoga moves clears up most of these symptoms in
a matter of weeks.

Research supports my approach to back pain. A 2011 study published in
The Archives Of Internal Medicine showed that yoga practice improves
chronic low back pain. After only 12 weekly classes, patients showed
better function and reduced symptoms.

Do you need PROTECTION from these two common complaints?

You've probably been the victim of at least ONE of these two villains.
I sure have!

Tendonitis? Had that. Bursitis? Been there...

These two common problems are the source of most of our aches and
pains. And they don't just show up out of nowhere.

We get tendonitis and bursitis when things are out of whack. Think of
it this way. If the wheels of your car aren't aligned, what's going to
happen? You'll get uneven wear on your tires. And if you let it go on
long enough, they could even develop bald spots and burst.

The same thing happens to your tendons and bursa. Your tendons are the
"cables" that attach your muscles to bone. And your bursa are the sacks
of fluid that sit under tendons and muscle to make sure they glide
smoothly over those bony areas.

If your muscles and joints aren't aligned properly, you get wear. And
that's when you get tendonitis and bursitis.

And what's one of the best ways to keep your body in alignment? Yep,
you guessed it. Yoga.

Better sex?

Okay, now I'm getting carried away. Or am I? Yoga won't REALLY improve
your sex life... will it?
Kamasutra Yoga

Yoga may rival the Kama Sutra

Well, I've got big news. The Kama Sutra was NOT the only sex enhancing
secret to come out of ancient India. Yoga practice has also been shown
to improve your sex life.

The Journal of Sexual Medicine published an article about sexually
unsatisfied women. Those who practiced yoga reported improved levels of
desire and arousal. And they even had better orgasms!

In an Indian study, men suffering from premature ejaculation had the
choice of conventional drug treatment or yoga. Those who practiced yoga
enjoyed noticeably better control over ejaculation.

No, we don't talk about it much. But sex plays such an important role
in our wellbeing. Better sex relieves stress. It also has a positive
effect on your hormones.

A high-quality sex life is one of the fastest and most overlooked ways
to improve your mental, emotional and even physical health. Another
point for yoga...

If people seem to show you more RESPECT... it's not a coincidence

Hmm. It seems that yoga might even help you get a little MORE sex. Let
me explain...

The way people perceive you has a lot to do with how you carry
yourself.

For example, I'm short. When I'm tired or feeling down, I slouch. So I
look even shorter. But when I'm feeling confident and happy, I square
up my shoulders and I look taller.

I didn't actually grow or shrink -- obviously. But the perception of
height changes. And that effect of posture on how people perceive you
goes much deeper than just your height.

When you stand tall and have good posture, people think of you as more:
* competent
* confident
* able
* strong
* vigorous
* sexually appealing

You can use that to your advantage by developing better posture. And
yoga is one of the best ways to do it.

Physical balance is a big part of any GOOD yoga program. Your job,
daily commute, old injuries and a ton of other factors GUARANTEE that
you've got muscle imbalances. And imbalances cause bad posture.

The more balanced your muscles are, the better you'll look. That means
people will see you differently. As the old saying goes, "You only have
one chance to make a first impression."

But yoga won't just make you "look" younger. It can actually "turn back
the clock"...

Controlling this "aging" hormone restores youthfulness

There's something fishy about the hormone cortisol.

Especially if you're a salmon! You may have heard that salmon die right
after they make their epic upstream journey to lay eggs in their
spawning grounds. But do you know why?

A hormone called cortisol is the culprit. It's our "stress" hormone.

Marine biologists have discovered that these salmon have crazy high
levels of cortisol right after they spawn. And physically, these fish
are a mess. They have ulcers, wounds that won't heal, all sorts of
nasty infections and a messed up immune system. All due to their out of
control cortisol!

But when researchers removed the adrenal glands of spawning salmon and
eliminated the cortisol, the salmon remained right as rain! They lived
for another year without any signs of premature aging. That means they
added as much as 30% to their lifespan!

So fish get old real quick when their cortisol goes crazy. But what
about humans? Yep, us too... Researchers in the Department of
Psychiatry at the University of California at San Francisco discovered
a direct link between stress and accelerated aging.

In fact, they figured out that stress actually damages your genes at a
cellular level.

So what can we do about it? Chill out. Do yoga.

In 2009, Indian researchers showed that cancer patients following a
yoga program had lower levels of cortisol than those who did not.

And heck, for thousands of years yoga practitioners have been yelling
from the rooftops about the stress-relieving benefits of their
practice.

It's both time-tested AND scientifically proven to relieve stress and
reduce cortisol. And since we know that both play a huge role in aging,
doesn't it make sense to do whatever we can to keep them in check?

Like going on your own daily retreat -- but FREE and QUICK

I suppose you could go to a spa every day. Or maybe just get a massage.
Both of those things are also great for reducing stress and controlling
cortisol. But they get a bit expensive after a while.

Why not just do a quick yoga session every day instead? Once you've
spent a little time mastering the basics, a short yoga flow routine is
all you'll need to stay on track. And it won't cost you anything
either.

In her post-graduate research study, Kris proved that even a 10 minute
daily routine has profound benefits.

Sooth your soul (even if you don't mean to)

Ok, I admit it. There IS a "spiritual" side to good yoga. But as far as
I'm concerned, it's accidental and incidental. If you practice the
PHYSICAL side of yoga, you'll tap into a sharper sense of wellbeing and
you'll feel more centered.
Yoga Crazy

I'm NOT talking about hocus-pocus nonsense!

I'm not talking about some kind of hocus-pocus mystical experience
though. What I'm talking about is the GROOVE that has been well
documented elsewhere.

Athletes often talk about being in the groove. They feel like they're
outside themselves watching their own performance, almost in slow
motion.

In fact, I bet YOU have felt the groove. Have you ever been so absorbed
in an activity and suddenly realize that hours have gone by? Or perhaps
you were driving home along a familiar route and all of a sudden you
ended up in the driveway, barely aware of how you got there. THAT is
the groove.

Yoga just happens to be particularly effective at helping you tap into
that groove and access that sense of centered wellbeing.

In a study done on sports teachers in 1993, Indian researchers
discovered that teachers who underwent yoga instruction had a lower
heart rate and respiratory rate. They also had a "steadier hand" (or in
geek-speak, they had improved somatic steadiness). Hmm... sounds like
they were in the groove.

And just this year, researchers at the University of Delhi found that
managers increased their "Emotional Intelligence" after only 6 days of
yoga training!

University Prof finds better FOCUS through Kris' yoga class

William Beasley

William Beasley, -- University Professor Cleveland State University

"Kris, I found yoga in general to be very helpful in the area of
flexibility and even more so in the area of balance for someone in
middle age (I'm 55). Perhaps more importantly, over time it had a
huge calming and centering effect -- extremely helpful in
concentrating and focusing my attention. As far as your class was
concerned... the pace was wellmatched to the students, you did well
in explaining and modeling the asanas, and you differentiated
effectively for students at different levels of fitness and
proficiency. I'm delighted to hear you'll be back in August, and
hope that means that your class will be back on the CSU schedule for
Fall 2012.."

This "yoga basic" is the KEY to everything

(and usually overlooked)

The KEY to wellbeing, high-performance and health is breath.

When I was teaching skiing, I often shocked my students by improving
their skiing WITHOUT ever commenting on their technique. I could focus
on nothing but breathing properly for an entire 60 minute lesson. And
they'd improve more in those 60 minutes than they did in the 6 previous
years!

Why is breathing such a powerful tool?

It's the ONLY conscious control mechanism we have over our nervous
system. Holding your breath or taking quick shallow breaths will excite
your "fight or flight" response. But soft, easy and controlled
breathing will induce your "parasympathetic" response, calming you
down.

You can't WILL yourself to calm down. Breath is the only bridge between
your conscious mind and the automatic responses of your nervous system.
That's why it's so important.

And that's why people who practice yoga end up being calmer and more
collected in stressful situations. And that leads to a ton of
beneficial "side effects" related to controlling your stress.

But if you want those kinds of benefits, you have to do the RIGHT kind
of yoga. You need nononsense yoga based on scientific principles and on
the physical movements.

How to avoid the "competitive posers" at the yoga studio

Yoga isn't about what "everyone else" is doing. It's about feeling each
pose for yourself. It's about getting better at your movements with
each session.
Yoga Class

Great yoga is about your own movement (not fancy studios)

That's hard to do when you're worried about the person next to you with
the $200 yoga mat and the designer yoga jammies that probably cost as
much as your entire wardrobe.

That's the number one thing that stopped most of my clients from doing
yoga before they started working with me. They were embarrassed about
doing the yoga poses in front of other people. And they were
self-conscious about being compared to the rest of the class -- or at
least to the folks that looked like they "knew what they were doing."

But once I showed them the stuff I learned from Kris, they were hooked.

You don't need a fancy studio to discover great yoga. Practicing a yoga
program at home will give you all the flexibility, weight management,
focus, pain reduction and performance benefits that yoga has to offer.

Like I said earlier, all I had to do was practice the stuff Kris showed
me in Singapore for 4 short weeks before I felt younger by a decade.
And it just keeps getting better...

Here's what I've done for YOU

After showing Kris' stuff to people for years, I started thinking that
it'd be so much easier if I could just send them right to Kris for
help. But of course, Kris lives thousands of miles from me...

So last year I started hounding her to create a yoga program with
videos and manuals that people could use at home. After months of
pestering, she agreed. [...She's a bit of a perfectionist, so it took a
while to convince her she could do her subject justice through videos
and manuals...]

The final product is everything I hoped it would be...!

I'm proud to introduce Kris Fondran's brand new Shapeshifter Yoga. It's
the most no-nonsense, science-based yoga I've seen. And it's now
available for everyone!

Warning: This is not for you IF...

I want to be upfront with you. This may not be the perfect yoga for
everyone. So if any of the following applies to you, you're definitely
NOT in the right place...
* You like to chant "omm" when you do yoga
* You'd rather search out your chakras than perfect your yoga poses
* You don't think yoga poses can be challenging exercise
* You'd rather hang out chatting at the yoga studio than get the
physical benefits of the practice
* You want magical and instant results without putting in the time to
perfect your movement
* You think expensive yoga jammies are the coolest thing about yoga

If any of those things sound like you, then Shapeshifter Yoga is not
for you. But...

your flexibility in only days, shape your body, and get rid of those
nagging aches and pains that've been bothering you, then you are
definitely IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

So are you ready to feel younger, stress-free, flexible and even SLIMMER
(WITHOUT chanting a single `omm')?

I admit... if you went back to school and earned a Masters degree in
Exercise Physiology, did a postgraduate thesis on the benefits of yoga,
trained with one of the world's top yoga teachers, sifted through every
research paper ever written on yoga, studied the anatomy and physiology
of the human body, and then travelled around the world applying that
information to students of every age and every level... well, you'd
certainly be able to develop an equally effective science-based yoga
program, just like Kris did with Shapeshifter Yoga.

But why bother? Instead you could:
* Skip all that work
* Rely on the fact that Kris already did ALL that for you
* Start feeling younger right away with a proven system
* And do so totally risk-free with your results guaranteed

This should be one of the easiest decisions you've ever made.

-pps- Still have a question? We probably already answered it below!

Q: What is Shapeshifter Yoga and what makes it so much better than other yoga
programs?

Unlike other forms of yoga, Shapeshifter Yoga is science-based. We
focus on movement -- the nononsense details of the physical practice --
from a scientific perspective and let other beneficial byproducts take
care of themselves.

You won't find any "woo woo" in Shapeshifter Yoga. What you will find
are results: pain-free movement, agility, energy and focus.

A month from now, the aches and pains you feel today could be a thing
of the past. You may improve your sleep. You could experience lower
fatigue, tension, anxiety and mental disturbance. You'll increase your
chances of losing weight or staying slim. And you'll most likely
improve in every physical activity or sport you do. Most importantly,
you'll learn how to have fun with stretching. And that leads to long
term transformation.

Q: I've never tried yoga, can I still use this system?

Yes! Shapeshifter Yoga starts slowly and moves ahead at your own pace.
Yoga should be experienced as something that feels good, and our
program promotes incremental flexibility that is enjoyable, challenging
and injury free.

Q: Do I need any special equipment to do this program?

It really depends on your floor or training surface. We do suggest
using a yoga or "sticky" mat during the Shapeshifter Flow. It'll
provide a bit of cushioning for your knees and keep your feet from
slipping during the session.

Apart from that, all you need are comfortable loose fitting clothes.
You'll find it difficult to relax and reach your full range of motion
if you're experiencing physical discomfort from tight or binding
clothing. But no need to buy expensive gym bunny "yoga clothes"!
Whatever you feel most comfortable in will do just fine.
purchase button-

Q: I want to get started right away, do I have to wait for you to ship the
program?

No! The entire program will become immediately available to you via
download after your purchase -- no shipping fees and no waiting for
results!

Q: I've done yoga programs before and didn't like them. How is this
different?

Shapeshifter Yoga is different because it it promotes the safe and
gradual development of flexibility through breath and body awareness.
We emphasize the science behind the movement, so you won't have to put
up with vague explanations or hazy mysticism.

You'll also enjoy the "flow" aspect of the program, and you'll find
that your practice becomes a "moving meditation" rather than a chore.
You'll learn how to get into the zone the same way an athlete hones in
on the perfect game. And you'll discover that getting into that state
is a great way to unwind. There's nothing mystical about it. All of
these benefits are accessible to you through the physical practice.
purchase button-

Q: I'm not a spring chicken anymore, does this work for older people like me?

Of course! The movements and postures included in Shapeshifter Yoga are
presented in a way that allows you to develop a foundation of
flexibility and strength safely over time. In fact, you may benefit
MORE than the average person. You'll increase your pain-free range of
motion and your functional movement with the innovative mobility and
flexibility exercises in the program. You'll also improve your balance
and coordination, the loss of which has been shown to accelerate aging.

Here's the key. With stretching, as with any workout, you must learn to
differentiate between "hurts so good" and "just plain hurts." If
something doesn't feel right, stop doing it immediately. There's
probably a modified or alternate posture you can use to work the same
muscle group. And if there isn't one in the program, send an email to
our help desk and we'll create one for you.

Q: I'm an experienced yogi / yogini, will I still benefit from this program?

Yes, you can certainly benefit from the program, but it really depends
on your level of openness and your willingness to slow down and go back
to the basics. Experienced yoga practitioners often forget that the
beauty and benefits of yoga can be found in the simplest movements and
postures. It's human nature to continue to push the limits, and this is
especially common among athletic types. But push too hard for too long
and we often lose sight of why we started something in the first place.
Going back to the basics can remind you of how even the simplest
movements can provide the most profound effects.

Q: What if this program doesn't work for me?

Then It's ALL FREE.

Simply put, if you follow the Shapeshifter Yoga system exactly as
outlined in the materials, and for any reason are NOT entirely
satisfied with the results you achieve from doing so, just contact me
and I'll refund your money. It's that simple.

I stand behind the product we've put together with Kris and the
powerful results you'll achieve, but if for some strange reason it
doesn't yield those results for you when followed, you get your money
back. No hassles, no hoops to jump through, just a prompt, courteous
refund.
