In exploring the subject of hot yoga, we thought there is no better source than Dick Watts. He's been doing hot yoga for ten years.

"Full bore for ten years." he said. "I got on this schedule about when my kids learned to drive."

His weekly schedule includes five sessions of hot yoga, two sessions of ashtanga yoga and two sessions of kundalini yoga. Watts will be 63 in February.

Hot yoga is a series of poses done in a room that's heated. How hot? Depends on the class, but as hot as 105 degrees.

The practice of yoga makes improvements within us that make us better companions, parents, children and siblings.

Give yourself the gift of yoga and here are eight gifts that others will receive.

The calendar year of 2010 shifts the psyche of humanity into a proactive rhythm of accomplishment and regeneration. We have just come through a catharsis of cleansing, completion and clearing of all that cannot be maintained in the Aquarian Age. 2009 was the cosmic rotor-rooter of this process. With the initiative spirit of number 10 we now have the wind in our sails to move forward in new directions.

Community Outreach a huge success. Yoga Village wants to say thanks to everyone who helped with the Thanksgiving Basket Brigade.

Modern psychology in a movement that has come to be known as "positive psychology" is looking for ways that people can be happier. You recall the old psychology business model was looking for ways that miserable people can be normal.

What these new-frontier psychologists are showing in their laboratatories is that the ancients had it right all along when they encouraged positive emotions. The Yoga Sutra calls the practice Santosha, or simply contentment.

Meditation is a hot topic. Coming with a strong recommendation from the likes of Dr. Oz and guests on Oprah, meditation is something that more and more people want to learn about. Here is a quick summary of the opportunities to practice meditation at Yoga Village.

People are always asking, "what is Kundalini Yoga?" "How is is different."
