Second Series Workshop
Bobbi Misiti 2201 Market Street Camp Hill, PA 17011 717.443.1119 befityoga.com The benefits of Nadi Shodhana, the second series of Ashtanga Yoga. This has been a long time in research. Both the “bibles” of the Ashtanga practice (Yoga Mala and Lino’s Ashtanga Yoga book) do not list the benefits of these intermediate postures. I researched and got most of this information from “Asana, Pranayama, Mudra, Bandha” from the Bihar School of Yoga. Some information also comes from the “Yoga Rahasya”, and other similar books that I have come to trust. POSE BENEFITS Warm up body, connect breathing and moving synchronicity, improve blood Sun Salutes flow to/around spine Begin the opening/stretching process in the body.

Fun Yoga for Kids
funYoga for Students, Families and Staff Simple Home Activities www.fitness365.me/moveathome Why Yoga? In the times of Covid-19 pandemic, it is important for all of us to stay fit. WHO recommends everyone to Stay Physically and Mentally Active at Home, and do 30 to 60 minutes of physical activity per day – Fun Games Yoga, Push Ups, Curl Ups, Free hand exercise, Rope Skip or Walk Up and Down the Stairs. Yoga is designed to bring mental, physical, and emotional health and balance. Yoga is often used as a physical activity to improve muscle strength and endurance. Yoga is Fun for Kids!!! Yoga should be presented as a judgment free activity for Students. Students are accepted at any athletic or fitness level. Yoga embraces the fact that each student’s body is unique, and yoga challenges students to focus inwardly instead of comparing themselves to students around them. Yoga is great for kids as many of the poses have an animal themed focus. For example, fun names like Camel (Ustrasana), lion, Cat (Marjaryasana), Cow (Bitilasana), eagle, and Frog (Bhekasana) keep kids entertained and engaged. PN: Parents must take break from work, walk around or do some Yoga with their children. Pick any Card in a day (How to use): FunYoga for Kids is recommended for youth ages Nursery to 8th Grade and is designed to take three to five minutes per card. You can use these cards at Home … and when the school reopens, do it in the classroom or on the ground. • Begin by picking any card in the deck (These cards are designed to be used on their own or in combination with each other) • Once a card is chosen, read the description of the first pose and show how to do the pose. -

For the full sequence see the video online. Yoga Poses For The IT Band Weekly Advanced Class 95 Focus: This class includes a sequence of poses that will help to improve mobility in the iliotibial band, quadriceps and gluteal region. The IT band is a length of fibrous connective tissue that runs down the outside of the thighs. It can be a difficult region to access and stretch. Many classical yoga asanas tend to reach surrounding muscles without isolating this specific area. For this reason it can be helpful to focus on easier to reach muscles that interact with the ITB. This can help to improve the overall health of the broader area. This class focuses on poses that can help to improve mobility in the tensor fascia latae, gluteals and quadriceps. Sequences such as this one may be particularly helpful for athletes, runners or anyone experiencing tightness or discomfort in the ITB. Key Poses: Supta virasana, paryankasana, hanumanasana, eka pada rajakapotasana i & II, supta padangusthasana Equipment: Mat, chair, bolster, 3 blankets, 2 blocks, belt yogaselection.com Copyright 2019 To do the full video class, click here to Join Now. -

LBY Teacher Manual 5.1.16. Diane
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.
