  • Yoga and Pilates: What’S the Difference? by Sherri R
    Yoga and Pilates: What’s the difference? By Sherri R. Betz, PT, GCS, PMA®-CPT Have you ever wondered… “What are the differences between Yoga and Pilates?” Someone jokingly said, “The difference between Pilates and Yoga is that in Yoga you close your eyes and think about god and in Pilates you keep your eyes open and think about your abs!” One guru said the purpose of Yoga is to become more flexible so that you could sit comfortably to meditate. Yoga certainly is more than that. I write this in trepidation of offending the beautiful Yoga and Pilates practitioners around the world. I hope to distill some of the information about Yoga and Pilates looking at some of the differences and similarities between them to help practitioners understand these popular forms of movement. My yoga practice began in Louisiana (when no one did yoga there!) at about the age of 15. At the local library, I happened to pick up The Sivananda Companion to Yoga and started trying out some of the poses and breathing. Actually, I skipped the breathing and avoided it for many years until I did my Pilates training and was forced to learn to breathe! Now I am devoted to my Ashtanga/Vinyasa Yoga practice and my Pilates work to keep my body in shape and to add a spiritual component to my life. It has been very interesting to compare a movement practice that has been around for 2000 years with one that has been around for only about 80 years. Yoga: Navasana (Boat Pose) Pilates: Teaser Common Forms of Yoga Practice in the United States: Yoga was brought to us by Hindus practicing in India.

Abstract deutsch Titel: Die Auswirkungen von Yoga auf die physische und mentale Gesundheit unter beson- derer Berücksichtigung von Low Back Pain und Depression und dessen Integration in die Physiotherapie (Doppelarbeit) Einleitung: Die Ursprünge von Yoga als traditionelle indische Lehre liegen weit in der Ver- gangenheit. Yoga kann als ganzheitliches Konzept angesehen werden, das auf physischer, psychischer und emotionaler/sozialer Ebene, Einfluss nimmt. In der Komplementär- und Alternativmedizin wird Yoga als Präventionsmaßnahme und zur Linderung von Beschwer- den eingesetzt. Low Back Pain und Depressionen oder Angstzustände sind häufige Krankheitsbilder, die auf physischer und mentaler Ebene wirken. Der Effekt von Yoga als Therapiemaßnahme bei Low Back Pain oder Depression wird in der Literatur beschrieben, jedoch wird selten Yoga der Physiotherapie direkt gegenübergestellt. Methodik: Diese Bachelorarbeit sucht Gemeinsamkeiten, Unterschiede und/oder Schnitt- stellen zwischen Physiotherapie und Yoga als ganzheitliches Behandlungskonzept.

  • Destination Within Sacred Homework
    Destination Within Sacred Homework You will have three assignments and an exam to finish in order to complete your 200 hour Certification. These are assigned with love, knowing they will enhance and enrich your yoga practice to the extent that you devote time and focus to them. I personally have completed projects of a similar nature and found them extremely beneficial and enriching in both my personal yoga practice and my teaching career. You will complete the following (a total of 53 hours of homework) for certification: Practice Teaching, recording, and taking your own classes 7x Reading Projects – 7 books and book reports Embodiment Project Anatomy DVD & Coloring Sheets Practice Homework Final Exam You should work on these in the intervening 6 months between our 2 modules. The exam will take place at home after both modules are completed. Budget your time wisely and get your work done as early as possible. The four months will pass quicker than you think. You may also take time after the 2 nd module to finish the homework. You will not receive your certificate until the homework is complete – it is part of the course curriculum. Practice Teaching You will need an audio recorder for this exercise. If you have a smartphone it’s possible you can use that. You will design seven different sequences. One will be Prana Flow Vinyasa, one will be Forrest yoga and the other five can be any format you choose. You will design the sequences. You will then teach the class and record yourself teaching it. This can be a regular class you are teaching to the public, a private class you teach to volunteers, or you can have a ghost class where you just speak into the audio recorder with no live students present.

    A SURVEY OF YOUTH YOGA CURRICULUMS A Dissertation Submitted to The Temple University Graduate Board in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Robin A. Lowry August, 2011 Examining Committee Members: Ricky Swalm, Advisory Chair, Kinesiology Michael Sachs, Kinesiology Catherine Schifter, Education Jay Segal, Public Health ii © Copyright By Robin A. Lowry 2011 All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT A SURVEY OF YOUTH YOGA CURRICULUMS By Robin A. Lowry Doctor of Philosophy Temple University, 2011 Doctoral Advisory Committee Chair: Ricky Swalm, Ph. D. Introduction: Yoga is increasingly recommended for the K-12 population as a health intervention, a Physical Education activity, and for fun. What constitutes Yoga however, what is taught, and how it is taught, is variable. The purpose of this study was to survey Youth Yoga curriculums to identify content, teaching strategies, and assessments; dimensions of wellness addressed; whether national Health and Physical Education (HPE) standards were met; strategies to manage implementation fidelity; and shared constructs between Yoga and educational psychology. Methods: A descriptive qualitative design included a preliminary survey (n = 206) and interview (n = 1), questionnaires for curriculum developers (n = 9) and teachers (n = 5), interviews of developers and teachers (n = 3), lesson observations (n= 3), and a review of curriculum manuals. Results: Yoga content was adapted from elements associated with the Yoga Sutras but mostly from modern texts, interpretations, and personal experiences. Curriculums were not consistently mapped, nor elements defined. Non-Yoga content included games, music, and storytelling, which were used to teach Yoga postures and improve concentration, balance, and meta-cognitive skills.
