Slow Flow Z Foundations of Yoga: A slow paced class with detailed alignment instruction and demonstration. This class is essential for beginners. Meditation and breathing are taught in each session. More advanced students can use Foundations to deepen their practice. Beginner’s Yoga: A weekly class dedicated to those new to yoga. You will leave feeling as though you are building your practice with integrity, step by step and breath by breath. Forrest Yoga: Forrest Yoga is a core and breath-focused practice that works to integrate strength and fluidity into each movement. Starting off slow with pranayama practices and then building up mindfully, the practice encourages each person to experience each breath fully and find the freedom in standing in their own strength. This practice is great for those with injuries and general discomfort or pain, as alignment and safe sequencing is a primary focus. Noting that habits on the mat also show up as habits in life, Forrest Yoga encourages everyone to look closely at themselves with compassion and work in ways on the mat that can begin to change those habits. All bodies and all levels welcome. *Room temperature is 75- 80 degrees Connect & Restore Yoga: This class supports slowing down, grounding and healing.This restorative practice begins with gentle movement and then utilizes props to release into poses. Our hope is that this gentle and supportive class will ease your mind and body. Restorative Yoga: The restorative practice will often begin with meditation and grounding practices and then utilize props to support release in poses that are held for 5 minutes or more. The purpose is to engage a parasympathetic nervous system response, sometimes known as the rest and digest response. This allows practitioners to learn to find deep rest and a reset. Yin Yoga: Postures are floor based and are passively held for several minutes in order to positively affect the deep layers of connective tissues in the body. Physical benefits of yin yoga include restoring and maintaining mobility to the joints, primarily between the naval and the knees. Energetically, Yin yoga opens the body’s meridian system, which allows the body's energetic flow and supports emotional equilibrium. It allows you to tune in to the feedback provided by the body and choose a shape that best supports you; knowing that everybody, every emotional state, and every mind is not the same. This practice emphasizes stillness and silence; preparing the body and mind for deeper experiences in meditation. Yin yoga, often referred to as “the other half of yoga”, is a complementary practice to more dynamic practices. Kundalini Yoga: Kundalini allows you to go inside, explore the art of breathing and relaxation and flow as smoothly as the waves in the ocean. This class combines kriyas (physical movements), meditation and sound healing to release stress. We will be exploring physical postures and breath practices that allow us to build strength, open the heart, increase clarity, compassion and sensitivity to others. Intermediate Vinyasa: All levels are welcome and modifications are offered. This class is appropriate for people with some understanding of postures. The class integrates postures from the first and second series of Ashtanga Vinyasa. The focus is strengthening the legs, shoulders and abdominals. Be ready to move a bit faster and get a lot stronger. .

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • What If Our Religion Was Each Other If Our Practice Was Our Life If Prayer
    What if our religion was each other if our practice was our life if prayer our words what if the temple was the earth the forests our church if holy water- the rivers lakes and oceans what if meditation was our relationships if the teacher was life if wisdom was self knowledge if love was the center of our being. -Ganga White What is yoga... Yoga is communion, a living prayer. Yoga is union. Through presence in practice the totality of the moment is revealed, and all aspects of being are unified, mind, body, and essence. It is a simplification, a softening presence, a surrendering to the rhythm of breath. It is a door to vast spaces of oneself and a door to that which is beyond the self. Yoga is meditation. It is a medicine, an anti-aging magic. Yoga retrains the body systems and the organs to sustain themselves with integrity and natural wisdom. Yoga is a healing path. A foundation for deep release of trauma, pain, and challenging emotional and mental patterns. It liberates stagnant energy, and is a guide back to the natural state of balance. Yoga opens the door to living a spiritual life. This ancient and vast path of spirit continually reveals deeper layers of body and mind and supports the transcendence of that. It cultivates an endless space for self discovery, unraveling the corners inside. 1 of 87 It is a path of the “beauty way” opening a space of reverence for the earth, harmonizing the energy of body and mind with the life force that moves through us, guides us and sustains us.
