<br />
<br />
was introduced to Acro Yoga by NDTV Goodtimes’ show, Yogasutra. I was awed and then gave it my first try during the duet dance competition at IIT, Delhi. I learnt 3 things about Acro yoga in my first trial and they are – Acro Yoga is beautiful; it’s musical; and it’s an art!<br />
<h2>
<span style="color: #660000;">What Is Acro Yoga?</span></h2>
According to the official website of Acro Yoga, it is a beautiful blend of ‘the wisdom of yoga, the dynamic power of acrobatics and the loving kindness of Thai massage’. It was founded by Jenny Sauer-Klein and Jason Nemer in 2003. The 3 main aspects of this form of yoga are trust, playfulness and a sense of community. Acro Yoga constitutes 3 elements: the Solar Acrobatic Practice, the Lunar Healing Arts, and the Yogic Practices.<br />
<h3>
<span style="color: #990000;">3 Positions Of Acro Yoga:</span></h3>
In Acro Yoga, there are 3 positions and they are:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><b><i> Base </i>- </b>In this position, theyogi is in most contact with the ground. His job is to support and hold the  flier.</li>
<li><i><b> Flier </b></i>- In this position, the yogi who does the flying with the help of the base.</li>
<li><i><b> Spotter </b></i>- In this position, the yogi keeps an eye on the things to prevent the injuries and to correct  the forms. A spotter is necessary if you are at the beginner’s level of Acro Yoga. </li>
</ol>

Acro yoga is not all about doing acrobatics. It is a combination of acrobatics and yoga. There are poses, which should be done before doing the acrobatic poses to connect with your partner as well as to give yourself a nice warm-up. You should begin your session with this partner breathing pose.</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>  Sit in Sukhasana with your back connected and faces in the opposite direction.</li>
<li>  Now take deep breaths and regulate your breath according to your partner. It is like you are  breathing as one person.</li>

Downward Dog is one of the most popular yoga poses, so how can there be not an Acro Yoga version? Double Down Dog is a fun pose, which is relatively easy. The reason is that the weight is more evenly distributed while doing this pose as the flier supports his front herself. You can do this pose in a series, if there are more than two people. Nevertheless, this pose usually ends in giggles.</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>For doing a Double Down Dog pose, both the partners should come in the downward dog position.</li>
<li>The base should take his position exactly behind the flier with his hands near the flier’s feet.</li>
<li>Now the flier should slowly walk back while maintaining her Down Dog.</li>
<li>Continue walking back up the base’s back until your feet are planted on his lower back.</li>
</ol>

Double Boat Pose is the partner version of the traditional Boat Pose. In this pose, both the base and flier are seated on the ground. This also can be done by beginners though the yogis should be flexible. This partner version is easier than the single boat pose as your partner’s support makes the hold easier. But, at the same time this version increases the stretch. It is good for core strength.</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Sit facing each other with your knees folded in front of you.</li>
<li>Extend your arms toward each other and hold your wrists firmly.</li>
<li>Now raise your calves until they become perpendicular to the sky and parallel to the floor.</li>
<li>Join your soles with your partner’s.</li>
<li>Now press on each other’s soles and straighten your legs.</li>
</ul>

This pose is a combination of Camel Pose and the Plow Pose. The base takes the Plow Pose and the flier gets into the supported Camel Pose. If it is possible, the base and flier should also do the pose with reversed positions to get the benefits of both the basic poses.</div>

<br />
<br />
Diets are no fun—at least that is what most people think! Are you one of those people who never complete their diet plan all the way through? Are you always reluctant to start a diet? Do you feel all diets have boring, tasteless food? Then think again. The Engine 2 diet will change the way you think about diets. If you are a vegetarian or have no problem turning into one, then the Engine 2 diet is the best option for you.<br />
<br />
<h4>
<span style="color: #274e13;">Engine 2 Diet:</span></h4>
The Engine 2 diet was created by professional triathlete and fire fighter, Rip Esselstyn. It all started when a colleague working with him was diagnosed with high levels of cholesterol. Rip advised him to go on a plant based vegan diet. There was a dramatic turnaround within just three weeks when his friends lowered his cholesterol level to 196. This compelled Rip Esselstyn to help many of his colleagues to change their diet to a healthier one.<br />
<h2>
<span style="color: #660000;">The Pros of the Diet:</span></h2>
The Engine 2 diet is a vegetarian diet that will help you lose weight, lower your cholesterol levels, body mass index, and improve your stamina. Research has shown that a plant-based diet is always a better option than diets that allow you to eat meat. Such green diets help prevent diabetes, control hypertension, lower chances of developing cardiovascular diseases, and also helps one lose weight quickly. Plant based dieters eat less compared to others. Various other health problems like eye disorders can be prevented with a plant based diet plan as it has all the vitamins required to keep your eyes healthy. But do remember that this is not a quick fix or fad diet. The diet will sharpen your mind, increase lean muscle mass and make you energetic.<br />
<h4>
<span style="color: #e06666;">Diet Plan:</span></h4>
The Engine 2 diet plan recommends eating fruits, vegetables, whole grain legumes, tofu and soy products. Here you not only give up meat, but also diary and eggs from your daily menu. Do not get disheartened! This in no way means that you end up eating only boiled vegetables and tasteless food. In fact, you get to eat chocolate pudding, fajitas, tacos, pizza, burger and much more, but all with a vegan twist!<br />
<br />
The diet will in no way deprive you of the minerals, nutrients, calcium, proteins, etc. that are required by your body. This 28-day diet plan will help you lose weight and have a healthier body. The recipes in the meal plan mimic the meaty favorites, making it easy to switch over to this new veg menu without feeling deprived.<br />
<br />
Another important aspect of this diet is that you cook food in a low fat way. Vegetable oils are eliminated from this diet. You cook using water, beer, mashed bananas, prunes, applesauce etc. You have to forgo refined sugar and use unrefined sugar and natural sweeteners. There are no caloric limits to this diet, you can eat as much fruit, and vegetable you like. Since plant based food have a higher fiber content, you will feel full with relatively lower calories.<br />
<br />
This 28-day diet will help you make many lifestyle changes that are beneficial in the long run. You may turn vegan for one! The book written by Rip provides all kinds of tools to help you with the diet plan. He has provided a large number of recipes that you can follow during the diet period.<br />
<h4>
<span style="color: #e06666;">Exercise:</span></h4>
For good weight loss results, it is not enough to follow only the diet. You need to incorporate an exercise regimen that will help you achieve your weight loss goal quickly. You will have to do 20 to 40 minutes of aerobic activities three times a week. This can include walking, jogging, swimming, or any sport. On the other two days, you have to follow E2 exercise program that helps to work your core, legs and upper body.<br />
<br />
In today’s day and age, when going ‘green’ is a fad, this Engine 2 diet fits right in. Not only will it give you a svelte body but also the bragging rights of going meat free for 28 days. Go for it!<br />

<br />
<br />
The world has changed and people follow various ideologies to live by or believe in. While many of us have certain values, lifestyles and attitudes towards the life we chose and the choices we make, others are seen as extreme. Extreme, I say, because they do not conform to societal norms that are usually expected. One such form of lifestyle is the followers of vegan diet. As humans, we are built to be omnivores. But many people choose to stick to eating only a certain diet, which is in alignment with their moral principles. While no one can question a person’s conscious decision about one’s diet, there are always certain pros and cons associated with any form of extreme diet.<br />
<h2>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">What is a Vegan Diet?</span></h2>
A food habit, practice or a diet in which a person abstains from the use of any animal products or animal produce in their daily diet is called Veganism. A person who follows such a food intake practice is commonly referred to as a Vegan. The followers of this diet believe that animals should not be treated like commodities and bred in captivity to fulfil the needs of humans.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>As Indians, this concept is not new to us as we have mostly been vegetarians and non-veg food habits became a part of our diet much later. There are primarily two types of vegans:</li>
<li>Dietary Vegans who do not eat anything or consume any animal products at all, be it meat, eggs or even products that have any animal product at all like cakes made with egg.</li>
<li>On the other hand, we have ethical vegans who will refrain from anything that is animal produce, starting from their diet to leather products, or anything that has used animals in any manner.</li>
<li>Also, there are many people who turn vegan to support their crusade to end cruelty to animals.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="color: #cc0000;">What is the Underlying Belief of a Vegan Diet?</span></h3>
<br />
The simple belief that each animal, plant or living organism has an equal right to life drives the people who follow Veganism. While, as humans, we are omnivores, but given the availability of food in abundance today, not many support the cause of killing animals for food. This cause has become a crusade today, because across the globe, many animals—be it poultry, pigs, cows, buffaloes are reared in captivity in horrendous conditions to for their meat or for their produce.<br />
<h4>
<span style="color: #e06666;">All are Created Equal:</span></h4>
<br />
Vegans believe in equality and the right to life for all. Many calves and piglets are put into small cages that do not even have enough space for them to move, to keep the muscle tender and once the animal dies, it is packaged for human consumption. Many people have turned vegan to show their contempt for such inhuman treatment of animals.<br />
<br />
Vegan diet plan is considered a healthy way of life and vegans feel that all kinds of minerals and proteins that are essentially derived from animal products can be complemented from other foods that exist naturally. The bottom line of a vegan person’s diet choice is not to cause harm, whether intended or unintended, to another life form for the satiation of human needs.<br />
<h4>
<span style="color: #e06666;">What is the difference between a </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">Vegan</span><span style="color: #e06666;"> and a Vegetarian?</span></h4>
<br />
Many people often confuse a vegan and a vegetarian. India is a country with the largest population that follows a strict vegetarian diet. Vegetarians do not refrain from the use of animal products like milk, eggs, honey or silk. Vegans, on the other hand, refrain from direct use of animal produce in their diet as well as any product that comes directly from animals like leather.<br />
<br />
<h4>
<span style="color: #e06666;">What is a Normal </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">Vegan Diet</span><span style="color: #e06666;"> like?</span></h4>
<br />
The vegan diet includes, but is not limited to, soups, ratatouille, rice, beans, hummus, falafel, soy milk, tofu and burritos to name a few. Soya and its associated products are an integral part of any vegan diet since they compensate for the lack of animal protein in their daily diet intake. Soybeans are a rich source of protein and have been adapted to provide nutrition. Soy is now available as soy milk, soy cheese- tofu, and curd as well. Many soy ready made products are now available in the market for the vegans to use.<br />
<br />
Instead of milk, a vegan’s diet is complemented by the use of almond milk, grain milk, coconut water and coconut milk. Soy provides for all the vital nutrients, amino acids, and above all healthy proteins as well. Vegan diet replaces eggs by the use of flax seeds and baking powder replaces eggs in most of the bakery items where the fluff is needed.<br />
<h4>
<span style="color: #e06666;">The Good about the </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">Vegan</span><span style="color: #e06666;"> Diet:</span></h4>
<br />
Vegan diet is supposed to be good since it reduces the risk of heart disease, the chances of cancer, diabetes, kidney disease, dementia and osteoporosis. This has been attributed to the fact that a vegan diet is rich in fiber, natural minerals and vitamins, while at the same time, the diet has a relatively lower content of saturated fat and lower calories.<br />
<br />
Earlier, it was believed that vegan diet is not good for expecting mothers and old people. But now it is accepted that a vegan mother is as healthy as any other women and will have a normal pregnancy. In fact, doctors and studies have now established that vegans have a reduced chance of type 2 diabetes, reduced level of harmful cholesterol, and reduced chances of cancer of the colon and prostate. It also reduces the chances of having any appendix troubles by almost a 50%.<br />
<h4>
<span style="color: #e06666;">The Bad about the </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">Vegan</span><span style="color: #e06666;"> Diet:</span></h4>
<br />
People and doctors have advocated that vegans suffer from a deficiency of Vitamin D, zinc and vitamins B12 as they are not as easily provided through the natural food forms or grains that are a part of the vegan diet. Today, doctors often advice vegans to eat supplements, to make up for the deficiency of the above stated minerals in the body. Also, it has been seen that vegans have higher chances of contracting eye problems when compared with vegetarians or non-vegetarians.<br />
<h4>
<span style="color: #e06666;">The Ugly Truth about Meats on the Table:</span></h4>
<br />
While many people believe in a balanced approach towards one’s food habit, the vegan diet has seen itself in the middle of many a controversies. Many vegan diet followers are against the unethical and inhuman treatment of animals. Many animal activists have taken to the road and started campaigns to promote the healthy diet form and convert people to a healthy vegan diet. The vegan followers have taken to roads to tell industry and its people to shut down the inhuman treatment of animals, many a times seeking and asking for government intervention to ensure equal treatment for animals<br />
<br />
Many vegan diet followers also aim to bring to light the plight of animals as they are bred in captivity and are forced to produce more to fulfill the needs of us humans. It has caused many people to change their heart. But on the other side, there is a segment of population that ponders about the loss of employment in case of an entire industry shutting down.<br />
<h4>
<span style="color: #e06666;">Is Being a </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">Vegan</span><span style="color: #e06666;"> Good?</span></h4>
<br />
Many studies have now provided enough study material and analysis that puts the diet at par with any other diet people follow. It is equally healthy and provides various minerals and vitamins through a variety of naturally existing foods. A successful and healthy vegan diet is the one that allows a variety of foods and ensures that all essential nutrients are supplied to the body. A few of the nutrients that are not as easily available in the daily food of the vegan diet can be supplied through supplements based on a dietician’s recommendations.<br />
<br />
The answer to the question is open to all. If one finds being a vegan fulfilling, you should go right ahead. The diet is proven to be healthy with reduced chances of many diseases. However, timely check ups should be done to ensure you’re healthy inside, rather than just looking healthy on the outside since many diseases related to deficiency could surge later and cause trouble. A simple Vegan diet plan is definitely healthy, safe and a way to a better life along with a healthy heart, body, mind and soul.<br />
<br />
<h4>
<span style="color: purple;">The last word:</span></h4>
<br />
Vegans are free to choose what they consume, and their demand for equitable and humane treatment of animals is justified. But to propose to shut down entire industries or factories would be going to extremes and likely to put many people on the road by causing them their employment. The point is that no one should be forced or coerced into following a certain way living. As people and vegan followers, they can show us what is happening to put the meat on our plates, but not expect a ban on food for people since everyone is free to make a living of choice.<br />
<br />
Live and let live—that is the key to accepting differences. We are all different. Though the cruelty meted out to animals is in no form acceptable, the solution is difficult. Be a proud vegan and keep spreading the message but let meat eaters make their own informed decision about what they want to eat!<br />
