  • GLOSSARY of DIFFERENT YOGA STYLES (Updated 20Aug2018)
    GLOSSARY OF DIFFERENT YOGA STYLES (Updated 20Aug2018) ACROYOGA is a type of yoga that combines traditional Hatha or Vinyasa Flow yoga with acrobatics. It originated in the late 1990s and has quickly become popular, with AcroYoga schools now all over the world. Partner work is a key feature of AcroYoga, and the work with a partner helps to improve strength and balance as well as building trust. It may also incorporate elements of massage which can relieve stress. ANUSARA: Founded in 1997 by John Friend, Anusara is heart-oriented, integrates celebration of the heart, alignment. With a more upbeat mood, Anusara focuses on mood enhancement and injury prevention and is especially great for beginners or out-of-shape practitioners. Beginner-friendly. ASHTANGA: An inspiration for many vinyasa-style yoga classes, and a more athletic method, Ashtanga is a traditional practice focused on progressive pose sequences tied to the breath. The Primary Series is made up of about 75 poses, takes about 90 minutes to go through and promotes spinal alignment, detoxification of the body, and building strength and flexibility. And there ain’t no stopping in this class— continuous flow is central to its practice. Founded by K. Pattabhi Jois (1915-2009), this system is taught around the world. Jois's grandson R. Sharath now leads the Shri K. Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute in Mysore, India. BAPTISTE YOGA: It is physically challenging, flowing set sequence practice in a heated room that will get your heart pumping while also encouraging you to find your authentic personal power in life. Baron Baptiste, son of yoga pioneers Walt and Magana Baptiste (who opened San Francisco's first yoga center in 1955), began practicing as a child and studied with many Indian yoga masters.

    Read From the Heart Library Programs to develop focus, comprehension and community Teacher Manual Asana and Pranayama Guide Ages 3-10 Diane Hamilton and Courtney Schroeder Thursday, April 27, 2017 With gratitude to our many teachers from the largest to the littlest © 2017 Little Buddhas Yoga All rights reserved. No part of this manual may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted in any form, or by any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording or otherwise, without prior permission of the author. Thursday, April 27, 2017 Basic Alignment Safety It is helpful to keep the following tips and reminders in mind as you model for and observe children practicing asana. When children take a posture, it may be the general shape of the pose. By age seven, or if you feel the need to adjust, use these tips to offer verbal cues. Hands-on adjustments may be warranted for some children with special needs, or may be welcomed by some older children. Adjustments may cause children to feel self-conscious, especially at vulnerable ages, and for this reason, we recommend allowing children to grow into poses at their own pace. Standing Postures Protect the neck by keeping it relaxed and maintaining length in the back. The head and neck should be a continuation of the spinal alignment, and should remain comfortable. To correct overarching backs in flexible children, lengthen from the hips to the head and draw the belly toward the spine. To correct hyperextended knees, protect hamstrings or protect lower backs, bring a soft bend to the knees.

  • Gentle Yoga Gentle Yoga Is a Form of Classical Hatha Yoga
    Yoga Club Teacher Training Manual Yoga A Wide Angle View Yoga ~ A Wide Angle View Yoga is not a static, dogmatic practice - it is a living, evolving art that has room to welcome all types of teachers and practitioners. This is one of the reasons why the Yoga Club Teacher Training program prepares us in such a comprehensive way - to give students a wide angle on the various ways yoga can be taught, to best be able to serve their community of students. For instance, the styles of Ashtanga, and Iyengar ~ two very different yoga practices, actually originated from the same teacher - Krishnamacharya. Krishnamacharya met Patthabi Jois when Patthabi was 13 years old. Given his age and level of energy, Krishnamacharya gave Patthabi Jois a vigorous practice, possibly to tire him out enough to be able to meditate! Thus the creation of the traditional Ashtanga practice generally considered a very vigorous and challenging style of yoga. The same teacher, Krishnamacharya, met B.K.S. Iyengar when Iyengar was in rather poor health. As such, Krishnamacharya created for him a slow, mindful practice with a great focus on alignment, in addition to many props and bolsters. For Iyengar, Krishnamacharya had to offer him peace of body (given his ailments) in order to offer him peace of mind. This is one of many examples of the ways in which yoga is a flexible system of therapy, unique in its application, focusing on the needs of each student at a particular time in their life. It takes an intuitive, well-trained, and dedicated teacher to really use their yoga skills to get the best out of each student ~ rather than apply a system by rote or routine.

  • Teaching Tips on Acrobatics
    Teaching Tips on Acrobatics Do you want to learn how to do some basic acrobatics? Then this page is for you. This page is designed to teach whoever wants to learn, but we intend for you to practice these skills with an instructor. However, the instructional language and videos in this page may also prove helpful for coaches themselves. Forward Rolls Backward Rolls Backbend Splits Handstand Cartwheel Front Walkover Back Walkover Skills Progression Disclaimer: This guide is in no way a substitute for real instruction with a live coach. AYCO recommends learning with a real coach whenever possible. Always use a mat when learning acrobatics you have never tried before. Always stretch before tumbling. Always use a spotter. Do not attempt acrobatics without adult supervision. Forward Rolls The first move you will learn is the forward roll, one of the most basic moves in acrobatics. You will use this base in a number of other tricks. Make sure you stretch your neck and wrists beforehand. • Start by squatting with your hands spread shoulder width apart on the floor. • Tuck your head and look at your belly button so your chin touches your chest. Pretend there is glue keeping your chin in place. This will make sure you keep your chin tucked the entire time. You don’t want to land on your neck and hurt yourself. • Roll forward. • Make sure you are rolling onto your shoulders, NOT your neck. • You should end up (once you get good at this) in a squatting position again. Check out this instructional video for how to do a forward roll.
