		<title>Pilates for Golf</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Does this warmer weather have you itching to get back out onto the course?  Remember to practice pilates afterwards to greatly improve your swing. Pilates &#8221;retrains the core muscles, including deep stabilisers, hip flexors and extensors, spinal flexors, extensors and rotators for balance and control.”  It&#8217;s also a mind/body exercise just like golf, that focuses on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Victory for Yoga Teacher Training Programs in NYC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[About a year ago, officials in New York City decided to put more regulations on yoga teachers and studios by requiring teacher training courses to undergo a lengthly licensing process akin to other vocational schools such as hair dressing and truck driving. Well, the officials tried.]]></description>

		<title>Yoga for Horses</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It makes sense that yoga for horses doesn&#8217;t look exactly like yoga for humans. You won&#8217;t catch Black Beauty doing downward dog or Warrior II asanas, but while the movements may not be the same, the goals usually are.  The yoga that Gloria Hester of Tucson, Arizona uses to heal horses is all about unlearning harmful movement patterns so the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Baby and you pilates!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Parenting is a rewarding yet rigorous, tiring job. Holding and nurturing a child can take a toll on the body, and it's difficult to find the time to work out and soothe sore muscles.

		<title>Yoga: not just for the ladies!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Go to a yoga class, and 9 times out of 10, most of the people in the room will be female. Guys just don't show up as often, which is unfortunate because men are typically less flexible than women, so it would follow that they'd benefit even more from yoga. ]]></description>

		<title>Finding balance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As with any exercise, our bodies can get used to yoga, and that signals that it's a good time to shake things up. While yoga is an immensely healthy practice, there's no need to discount other forms of exercise like cardio and weight training. A mix is ideal, and the exercises will work with each other to benefit you more in the long run. ]]></description>

		<title>Sweet Rides and yoga mats</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I'm always interested to know what pro athletes do to cross train. Though it depends on the sport of course, and what one is cross-training for, a routine including weights and cardio seems to be the standby. These days though, more and more athletes are adding yoga or pilates to the mix. Professional snowboarder Gretchen Bleiler is our newest example of pro athlete and yogini. ]]></description>
