By DOUG KELLER Abunion is an all'too'common foot problem that can easily develop into a painful deforrnity ifleft unchecked. Medical science treats bunions as a progressive disorder and cites hereditary factors as the main culprit. Eut trom a more holistic perspective, constrictive shoes, coupled vvith the fact that we rarely stretch, massage, or otherwise properly exercise our feet, are also contributing factors. The good news is that a few warm 'ups and exercises for the feet, along with targeted yoga poses, can slow the progression of bunions caused by hereditary factors, and even halt the formation ofbunions resulting trom neglect and ilHitting shoes. Even if you don't have bunions, these exercises will reduce soreness and fatigue, and keep your feet healthy and strong. HOW BUNIONS DEVELOP head ofthe metatarsal.

  • RIMYI Certification Course Guidlines Booklet
    CERTIFICACERTIFICATIONTION AND ASASSESSMENTSESSMENT GUIDELINES AprilJuly 20202020 It is relatively easy to be a teacher of an academic subject, but to be a teacher in art is very difficult, and to be a yoga teacher is the hardest of all, because yoga teachers have to be their own critics and correct their own practice. — B.K.S. Iyengar Contents Introduction 04 Section A Certification Structure 06 Section B Becoming a Teacher 09 Section C Criteria for Assessors 11 Section D Assessment Process 12 Section E Feedback 28 Section F Syllabus 29 Notes 44 FAQs 50 Appendix 61 Introduction Don’t be exclusive, be inclusive… not only in asana but every walk of life. – B.K.S. Iyengar Guruji was a believer in tradition but at the same time, he was a great revolutionary. He discovered new paths for imparting objective knowledge of a philosophical subject like yoga. Paramparã was important to him but he recognised that as the community grew larger, a different framework for teaching and assessment would be needed. Over the past few years, Geetaji and Prashantji repeatedly pointed out that assessments are losing their basic purpose and teacher training is becoming a business. Their observation and criticism have immense value in Iyengar Yoga. Their concerns have motivated us to dig deeper into the process of yoga teaching worldwide. On behalf of RIMYI, we elicited feedback on the current methodology of teaching and assessment. The response was overwhelming. Letters, mails, What’s apps, messages….every corner of the world had something to contribute. We, at the institute, have taken cognisance of every conceptual contribution offered.

  • FIND YOGA OM at HOME … Ashtanga First Series Asanas
    FIND YOGA OM AT HOME … Ashtanga First Series Asanas Hi Brussels Yoga Loft Yogis, This document contains all the asanas of the Full Primary Series of Ashtanga. These asanas are the basis of many of our classes such as the ashtanga first series (short), the gentle flow, the Ashtanga+ and others. Maybe these images will help you in your home practice. As always in any of our yoga classes please make sure that you listen carefully to your body. Yoga is not about pushing yourself into positions that do not feel right not is it about achieving something. Yoga is about letting go, listening to what your body tells you feels good and allowing only that to happen, nothing more. You have no goal, nothing to prove, no-one to impress. All you look for is to ensure that your muscles stay healthy and fit, that you breathe with full intention and intensity and enjoy your practice. No need to stress !! Barbara and I hope that this guide is useluf and that you will enjoy it often during the self isolation.

Page 76 Page #2 HEAD & NECK Resolving Neck Tension DOUG KELLER Pulling ourselves up by our “neckstraps” is an unconscious, painful habit. The solution is surprisingly simple. When we carry ourselves with the head thrust forward, we create neck pain, shoul- der tension, even disc herniation and lower back problems. A reliable cue to re- mind ourselves how to shift the head back into a more stress-free position would do wonders for resolving these problems, but first we have to know what we’re up against. When it comes to keeping our head in the right place, posturally speaking, the neck is at something of a disadvantage. There are a number of forces at work that can easily pull the neck into misalignment, but only a few forces that maintain the delicate alignment of the head on the spine, allowing all the supporting muscles to work in harmony. Page #3 HEAD & NECK The problem begins with the large muscles that converge at the back of the neck and attach to the base of the skull. These include the muscles of the spine as well as those running from the top of the breastbone along the sides of the neck (the sternocleidomastoids) to the base of the head.

  • Teacher Feature and Ashtanga Yoga Standing Poses by Caroline
    TEACHER OF THE MONTH I’ve been practicing and teaching Ashtanga yoga for almost 20 years and have taught workshops, retreats and teacher trainings across the world. I started teaching workshops internationally in Caroline 2002 and taught workshops in Vienna, Prague, Amsterdam, Edinburgh, the UK, Barcelona, Singapore, Bangkok, Kenya and other locations around the world. The first yoga retreat I lead was Klebl a yoga safari retreat in Tanzania. Additionally, I led yoga retreats in Ibiza and Bali. When yoga centres requested I teach yoga teacher training courses, I developed a week-long program, which I taught in South Africa, Jakarta, Dubai and Kuala Lumpur. In 2008, I developed 200 and 500-hour yoga teacher training programs, which meet the international yoga teacher training standards of the yoga alliance. I conducted my first yoga teacher training retreat in Bali. Since this course was a wonderful success, I continued teaching yoga teacher training programs in Bali, Costa Rica, Hawaii, Brazil, Jamaica, Greece, Italy, India, Mexico, San Francisco, Chicago and Los Angeles. My yoga teacher trainings are open to yoga teachers, aspiring teachers and to those who would like to learn Ashtanga yoga or improve their yoga practice. I’ve trained over 200 yoga teachers in Los Angeles, in addition to the 250 yoga teachers I trained on retreat courses. Graduates of my courses teach yoga all over the world. I teach Ashtanga yoga, a Vinyasa based yoga asana practice, which includes hundreds of yoga poses that are divided into the primary, intermediate and advanced series. Vinyasa are breath-initiated movements, which connect one pose to the next.
