So far during Yoga Week we’ve learned about how we can manage anxiety and depression with yoga, use yoga to fight insomnia and get a better night’s sleep, and even where to go to find tons of information about yoga for men.
Good stuff, yeah?
Now it’s time to get to the really good stuff!

Up front, understand that I’m not writing this post assuming that all men have no idea what’s going on when it comes to yoga.
Wouldn’t that be a little silly, given that yoga’s history reaches back thousands of years, and it’s even believed that Hindu monks are responsible for introducing the Western world to yoga?
Still, here in the 21st century, we tend to see more women practicing yoga (throwing on a pair of yoga pants for a late-night run to the grocery store doesn’t count!) in popular media.

Over the past few months, with a heavy emphasis on the past month, I haven’t been able to sleep much at all.
I have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep, and although I’m sleepy during the day, I can’t seem to fall asleep for a nap, either.
I’m not really sure why this is happening, but I’m definitely in the process of trying to figure out just what’s going on (?!).
In the meantime, maybe I’ll try some of these yoga poses for insomnia.
What do you think?

Exercise, mediation, massage therapy – these are all complementary (and, for some folks, solitary) ways to
Halogen TV, which describes itself as “the only television network focused on socially conscious entertainment,” recently presented a piece outlining yoga poses we can use to better manage our anxiety and depression symptoms.
Happy Friday, sweet readers!
A friend of mine shared this with me a few weeks ago, and I’ve been waiting for the perfect time to share it with you all.
Well, what better time than a Friday afternoon?
It’s almost the weekend, you still have a few hours to go of work or school, and you could probably use a good chuckle, right?
Right!

Psych Central and I launched “Your Body, Your Mind” just a few months into 2012, and we’ve enjoyed a blessed year, to say the least.
So blessed, in fact, I had to come up with some new criteria in order to cut the list of most popular posts down from nearly 30 to just 15.
So, instead of going by viewing statistics only, I also included tweets, posts, and pins.
That’s right, the following 15 “Your Body, Your Mind” posts were the most viewed and shared on social media like Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest.
So sit back, get your bookmark button ready, and check out some of the best body, mind, and spirit posts we had to offer this year.
Happy Wednesday, lovelies!
A couple of weeks ago I asked you to tell me your favorite workout song of 2012 for a chance to win a pair of custom tangle-free Apple earbuds from Etsy shop owner Holly Bertin of TangleFreeEarbuds.
Well, the drawing winner has been chosen and notified (congratulations, sunshinebabe!) and now I have the top 20 2012 workout songs – a great mix of rock, pop, and even country – sure to get you moving as we walk/run/dance into 2013!
Happy Tuesday, beautiful readers!
We’ve survived Thanksgiving, but with Christmas just a week away and New Year’s just a week after that, it’s safe to say we’re still in the thick of the holiday season.
Which means, for some of us, there are still a lot of stress and anxiety triggers coming our way.
As such, the good people over at the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) are hosting a Twitter chat on using complementary health practices like yoga, meditation, and tai chi to manage stress and anxiety – specifically, the safety and efficacy of these mind and body practices.
During the chat, you’ll get to meet John Glowa, Ph.D., the NCCAM expert who oversees the organization’s behavioral health research portfolio, and Daniel Pine, M.D. from the NIH’s National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH).
Note that:
Hope to see you there!

Happy Monday, readers!
It’s December! That glorious month when writers around the blogosphere revel in year-end posts!
“Top This!” “Best That!” “Favorite Blah Blah Blah!”
I love them.
Trust that I’ll try not to overdo it here at Your Body, Your Mind, but there are a few finale blog posts I’d like to explore, and one of them covers your favorite workout songs in 2012.
(Admit it: If you walk, run, lift weights, dance, or do aerobics, you’ve Googled “workout songs,” “workout music,” “running songs,” “aerobic music,” or “exercise music” at some point. I do it all the time.)
Instead of compiling a list of some of my favorite workout music this year, I thought I’d create a list of YOUR favorite tunes to sweat to.
Interested in helping me out? You could win a pair of black and gray custom tangle-free Apple earbuds by TangleFreeEarbuds / Earbuds Anonymous if you do!
So, during a regular appointment earlier this week, my doctor confirmed what I’ve suspected for the past couple of months: My hormones are completely out of whack.
Ever dealt with a hormonal imbalance? It’s pretty stressful. Not only can it cause weight problems and wreak havoc on your skin , but a hormonal imbalance sometimes brings mental health symptoms like depression, anxiety, and disorientation.
