5 Things You Need To Avoid If You Want Radiant, Youthful Skin In 2012, consumers spent about 250 billion dollars on anti-aging lotions, creams, and cosmetics. Unfortunately, the majority of these products yield little to no actual benefit in reversing the aging process — they often just mask the effects of aging at a superficial level. Anti-aging cleansers, moisturizers, and creams work to artificially tighten and (temporarily) improve the appearance of fine lines, but they don't replenish or improve the skin from a foundational level. The first step in obtaining youthful skin is to understand how skin functions. What most people don’t know is that your overall skin health is disproportionately determined by your inner layer of skin (dermis), as opposed to the outer layer. So what are the best ways to get beautiful skin from the inside out? 1. Sunlight is the most notorious collagen cruncher, but what's surprising to most people is that sunscreens do not offer as much protection as you might think. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Three Reasons Why Yoga Teacher Training Changes Your Life The result is something beyond words. It is, as best as I can explain it, the Alchemy of Yoga at its best. Chapter 2 verse 1 of the Yoga Sutras sets forth how the Alchemy of Yoga actually works. "Tapas svadhyaya ishvara pranidhana kriya yoga."

7 Foods for Flexibility Better flexibility is something we all want to achieve with our yoga practice but not just to look good. According to Ayurveda, flexibility and suppleness of the body help our vital force, prana to circulate more freely through our energetic pathways; the nadi channels or meridian system in traditional Chinese medicine. When the body is limber, your joints are lubricated and you can achieve an extended range of motion. This allows you to experience a greater sense of freedom of movement, which ultimately encourages a freedom from restraint within your mind. On a physical level, increased flexibility improves blood circulation, lymphatic flow, nutrient absorption and waste excretion. It improves your posture and technique in yoga practice. With a consistent yoga practice, you can achieve better flexibility and that goes without saying. Yogi’s traditionally view a vegetarian diet as most supportive for practice and Ayurveda, the sister science to Yoga suggests some foods. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

How to Survive as a Photographer in Today's Industry There was a time in which anyone who could light a photo well was of value, but those people are of no value anymore, says artist rep Maren Levinson. In the 5-minute interview above, Levinson offers some great insights into how the photography industry has changed over the past several years and what photographers need to do to stay relevant and needed. “The only reason to hire a professional and pay the rates that allow them to make a living is if they can offer something that you can’t get somewhere,” Levinson says. “And the only way they can offer something that you can’t get somewhere else is if they have their own voice and vision.” Photographers need to focus their vision into something that will set them apart from the masses — otherwise, your work won’t make an impression and won’t be memorable. “You will get reduced to one sentence, and its your job to fill that sentence,” says Levinson.
