Busy professionals who work on the road report lack of facilities and space as some of the primary reasons they do not get enough exercise. It is no coincidence that this same group often experiences increased rates of health problems. Those who travel frequently demonstrate higher levels of absenteeism and tardiness, and cost company health insurance policies more money.
At the heart of the problem is too much time in meetings interrupted only by unhealthy dinners at restaurants. At the end of the day, many traveling employees wind down simply by watching television in their hotel rooms. Without space or facilities to work out in, it is no wonder these employees are less healthy than their counterparts. To curb this problem, workers need to take the time to exercise, even when they’re on the road.
You can do this without even leaving your hotel room. With the right accessories, you can realize the many benefits of an excellent yoga workout right there in your hotel room. Yoga mats are too bulky to fit in most carry-on luggage, so we’ve created the perfect alternative–Yoga-Paws. Yoga-Paws are mini yoga mats worn like gloves and shoes. Just strap them to your hands and feet and you can do your yoga workout even in very small spaces, like hotel rooms.
They are the perfect accessory for recreational travelers as well. Yoga-Paws will fit in any suitcase, so you don’t have to leave behind your workouts, even when you go on vacation. What could be more relaxing than a balancing, spiritually uplifting yoga workout done right there on the beach at sunrise or sunset?

Back in September we decided to hike into Havasupai Falls in the Grand Canyon. It was a 10 mile hike that took about 4 hours.
Taking in the breath taking scenery we were laughing a lot and talking about business and life in general. We got to talking about creating an advertisement that would encompass what our company is all about – yoga, traveling, laughing and having fun. We then came up with an idea that seemed to really capture all of those qualities.
Very limited on time we got the location, photographer, and models all on board.
Special thanks go out to our visionary Jamie Getzwiller, our models Lindsey Schropp and James Hellems, our photographer Greg Cali (http://www.thecalilife.com/), San Diego International Airport and Hyde Clothing (http://www.yogahyde.com/store/index.htm?) for providing Lindsey with the fine clothing.
Look for us in the January Yoga-Journal magazine and keep an eye out for our next “creation.” 
As we age, maintaining flexibility is one of the most important things we can do to keep fit and active. Strong bones and lean, flexible muscles can do more to prevent injury than just about anything else. Always make sure to stretch well before any workout and devote extra effort to increasing flexibility and muscle tone.
As an ancient art that seeks to promote balance, energy, vitality, harmony, and well-being through its flexibility-increasing poses, yoga is the ideal stretching exercise. Poses/postures are choreographed into a series of slow, methodical movements that stretch and tone all the muscle groups in the body.
Yoga mats are often used by those who practice. Mats are made of spongy, durable materials that give yoga practitioners added support, cushion, and stability. Unfortunately, yoga mats are also large and cumbersome. Yoga-Paws represent the perfect compromise. They provide the same stability and cushion mats do while taking up far less space. Yoga-Paws are much more portable, allowing users to stretch and tone in their hotel rooms, at the beach, or in the office.
While performing yoga or any stretches, it is important to listen to your body. Your movements should be slow and not forced. While stretching in yoga poses, you should feel a pull, but do not go too far. Stop if you feel pain. Yoga is low impact and while it should be strenuous, it should not be painful. Make sure to use correct form in every pose to avoid unnecessary injury. Yoga-Paws do promote a safe workout environment, but good technique and common sense are equally important.

Stress Management Exercises Reducing and managing stress is critical to maintaining overall health and vitality. Stress is one of the leading contributors to heart problems, anxiety, soreness, and any number of health problems. To lower blood pressure, tension, and anxiety, you need to incorporate stress-reducing activities into your daily schedule.
Exercise is a great way to reduce stress. The endorphins released during exercise have a natural stress-reducing effect and promote a sense of vitality and well being. Yoga is perhaps the best stress management exercise of all. It stimulates the body, mind, and spirit together to foster a tremendous sense of oneness and harmony with yourself and your surroundings.
But how can you experience the stress-reducing benefits of yoga when you’re on the road? You can’t fit your yoga mat in your luggage, and you know there is no gym or studio near your destination. It’s quite simple with the help of Yoga-Syz. Our mother-daughter yoga company is proud to offer Yoga-Paws to our valued customers. Yoga-Paws are like tiny yoga mats worn on the hands and feet.
Because they are only a fraction of the size of standard yoga mats, Yoga-Paws are the ideal travel exercise equipment. They fit easily into a suitcase, and you can enjoy your yoga workout right in your hotel room. After a long day of meetings or seminars, a relaxing, stress-reducing yoga workout accomplished with Yoga-Paws is the perfect way to unwind and keep in shape. Order yours today or email us at info@yogasyz.com for more information.

Yoga workouts offer not only the benefits of increased flexibility and muscle strength, but of relaxation as well. Unlike other exercises that are based on high intensity and quick movements, yoga is a more natural system focusing on slow movements, long stretches, and proper breathing. A quality yoga workout leaves you feeling energized, refreshed, and deeply relaxed.
To experience the benefits of a quality yoga workout no matter where you go, you can utilize the advantages of Yoga-Paws. Yoga-Paws are an incredible yoga product produced and sold by Yoga-Syz, an experienced mother-daughter yoga company with many years of experience both in teaching yoga techniques and developing workouts and products. Yoga-Paws are so small and lightweight, you can take them with you everywhere you go!
Begin your yoga workout with relaxation postures. Try lying flat on the ground, facing up with your hands directly at your sides, palms down. Close your eyes and feel your entire body. Starting at your feet, at the tips of your toes, relax your muscles. Then relax your ankles, followed by your calves, then knees, thighs, buttocks, lower back, and all the way up to the top of your head. As you relax each part of you body, feel the tension flowing out.
As you relax, pay special attention to your breathing. Proper breathing technique is crucial to achieving total relaxation. Breathe in deeply, using your abdominal muscles to expand the lungs as you open your shoulders to fill the lungs completely. As you exhale, pull the abdominal muscles in toward your spine to fully expel the air in your lungs. Perform this relaxation exercise (or other similar posture) for at least two minutes at the start of your routine. Then, strap on your Yoga-Paws and you’re ready for a total yoga workout.

Home Exercises
Everyone knows that regular exercise is essential for weight management, longevity, and happiness. Unfortunately, many of us have neither the time nor money to go to the gym for regular workouts. Many of us are too busy with careers, families, or studies to take time out of our day for gym workouts. For people in these situations, home exercises are ideal.
Exercising at Home
Working out at home is a great way to get the benefits of regular exercise without the cost of joining a gym and without having to completely rearrange your schedule. Yoga is a perfect home exercise because it targets the entire body. Yoga exercises done at home increase flexibility, build muscles, flush toxins from the body, reduce stress, and align your body, mind, and spirit. Yoga is also an ideal home exercise because of the limited amount of equipment required.
Traditionally, yoga is performed on a special yoga mat. At home, though, space can be quite limited, making a yoga mat impractical. There may not be room on the floor for a large yoga mat and you may not have any place to store it. That is why Yoga-Paws from Yoga-Syz are the ultimate in home workout accessory! Yoga-Paws are worn on the hands and feet and provide the same traction and comfort you’d get from a yoga mat. They enable you to perform your yoga workout in even the smallest of spaces and can be stored easily.
Yoga-Paws are not only designed for home workouts, though. They are the perfect exercise props for travelers and those with limited time and space to workout. Yoga workouts utilizing Yoga-Paws can be done anywhere: in hotel rooms, outdoors, in the office, or the classroom. Email info@yogasyz.com to learn more about Yoga-Paws and our other home exercise products.
