However, the vast majority of us will attend a Chair Yoga class in a senior center. Yoga Teachers, Prepare for the New Year's Rush - Part 3 This is the last article of this series, and by now, you should be getting some fresh ideas that will help you design a couple of new Yoga classes in your studio. Yoga Teachers, Prepare for the New Year's Rush - Part 2 Let's continue with more ideas for workshops and some specialty classes that may fit in as part of your regular class schedule. You don't have to use all of these ideas, but you may find one, or two, that fit with your clientele and your Yoga studio. Yoga Teachers, Prepare for the New Year's Rush - Part 1 The doors will fly open on January 2nd with enthusiastic mobs of Yoga students. What can you do to prepare for the busiest stretch of the year? How can you keep their interest all year long? Yoga Teachers Lead by Example - Part 3 Behavior toward neighboring Yoga schools, Yoga teachers, and their students, should be cordial. Like the old saying goes, "If you do not have anything good to say, do not say anything at all." When we speak of other Yoga teachers, or former Yoga teachers, in a hostile manner, what do we teach our students? Yoga Teachers Lead by Example - Part 2 It is a shame that proper behavior, respect, and ethics do not make great headlines in the newspapers. Just watch the news, and read the newspaper for a week, to confirm what makes "good copy." It will not take long for you to find a dozen, or dozens, of scandals. Yoga Teachers Lead by Example - Part 1 During the course of a lifetime, most of us have heard the saying," Do as I say, not as I do." We see this kind of leadership everywhere we go. All politicians, religious leaders, police, sports professionals, parents, academic teachers, and Yoga teachers, lead by example, even if the example displayed is not a good one. Yoga Teacher Certification for the Rich and Famous There are cost-effective, and less expensive solutions, to learn to teach Yoga by becoming a certified Yoga instructor, without the cost of an "arm and a leg." Yoga is Self Improvement There are many different types of Yoga, but all of them contribute to mankind's self-improvement. So, mankind has been a work in progress for thousands of years and has organized systems to constantly improve. Yoga is a Safe Solution to Weight Control One more study tells the world, that Yoga can help with weight control and weight loss. The latest study was held by the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Washington. Yoga is "Unity." Yoga consists of many facets; Asanas is just one of the many parts of Yoga... Yoga in Practice: Turning Arguments into Treasure Ever wish you could take harsh words back? Do you wonder how you could have prevented an impending conflict? How could an argument turn out to be a hidden treasure? Yoga in Practice: Time Management You learn many things in a Yoga class, such as: Living in the present moment; but how can you put your Yoga into practice in today's hectic world? We learn to meditate so the mind will stop multi-tasking, but once you leave the Yoga studio, or ashram, you have to face the world again. Yoga in Practice: The Impact of Yoga Teachers on Society (Part 2) Much like the counter-culturists of the past, Yoga teachers and Yoga practitioners do not have to operate within the confines of a system. A social worker or school teacher may feel like, "their hands are tied by the system," but Yoga teachers have much more freedom to change the world - one person at a time. Yoga in Practice: The Impact of Yoga Teachers on Society (Part 1) Let's look at some of the ways Yoga teachers, Yoga classes, and the many styles of Yoga have gently changed the world today. Yoga in Practice: Ten Solutions for Depressed Yoga Students (Part 3) Within Yoga are many facets, but all of them lead to good health. A Yoga student who practices "once in a while," is better off than never having practiced at all, but should not expect to see significant results. This is why Yoga teachers have to tell their students the truth about expectations. Yoga in Practice: Ten Solutions for Depressed Yoga Students (Part 2) As you know, anyone can feel a little depressed now and then - Yoga students are no different. Here are more methods to help Yoga students with mild forms of depression. Yoga in Practice: Ten Solutions for Depressed Yoga Students (Part 1) Yoga teachers often struggle with methods for helping their students deal with a variety of ailments. Depression is serious, and is one of many ailments, but much like stress, it can be the "root cause" of many more problems. So, let's look at ten ways to turn a Yoga student's life away from depression. Yoga in Practice: Teaching Yoga If you are feeling incomplete, at this time, write down your passions, reflect on them, and notice that one will stir an overriding desire within you. This is most likely your dharma. Yoga in Practice: Speak with Mindfulness Within the average Yoga class, or ashram, the principles of mindfulness are mentioned for the benefit of Yoga students, their friends, and the people they associate within the course of a day. Mindfulness is living in the moment, and putting the wisdom you have learned, during Yoga class, into practice. Yoga in Practice: Projecting Happiness We are all human, living life with its many "ups and downs," but how can we keep our spirits up in difficult times? Projecting happiness is free and does not require a lot of money. Here are some ideas that will help you to be happier, and hopefully, more worry free. Yoga in Practice: Living in the Present Moment When one of us decides to pursue the study of Yoga, we find ourselves living and learning Yoga every day. On or off the mat, Yoga students can apply their practice to the many lessons life has to offer. The result of all this learning, and applying Yogic principles to life, is a major leap in self-improvement. Yoga in Practice: In Search of the Perfect Yoga (Part 3) This is the last in this series of answers to statements about Yoga students who are searching for the perfect Yoga, or the perfect Guru. Yoga in Practice: In Search of the Perfect Yoga (Part 2) Shouldn't we just be happy that someone else is trying, or practicing, Yoga - instead of sitting on the couch? If you are a Yoga teacher, do not encourage this kind of thinking. Yoga in Practice: In Search of the Perfect Yoga (Part 1) What is the perfect Yoga? Is it hot Yoga, based on correct alignment; Vinyasa Yoga, only to be performed with props; or do props take something away from Yoga practice? What about Yoga styles which are not from the Hatha Yoga tree? So - what exactly is the right Yoga for you? Yoga in Practice: Helping Negative People - Part 3 Remember the saying, "Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime." You can always give away material, but what is more valuable than knowledge and acquired skills? Yoga in Practice: Helping Negative People - Part 2 No wonder the divorce rates are so high in some cultures. It is because no one wants to give, forgive, or try to understand anyone including their wife, husband, or family members. Yoga in Practice: Helping Negative People - Part 1 Do you know someone with a perennial dark cloud over his or her head? You're thinking: "I want to avoid negative people, not waste my time helping them out." What if this person is a family member, or loved one, who has turned bitter for some reason? You care deeply for this person and want to help. Yoga in Practice: Excuses for Lack of Practice At one time, or another, we all think, "Why am I here?" Sometimes we think, "Why do I even bother?" Thinking about giving up is a temptation for all of humankind, but we continue to pursue our goals just like our ancestors did. Yoga in Practice: Bhakti Yoga If Yoga were like fine wine, Hatha Yoga would surely be the wine for export. It could be said that Raja Yoga and Kundalini Yoga got a fairly strong foothold outside India, as well. All of these forms of Yoga have many aspects, but the physical aspect is what lures most Yoga students - outside of India. Yoga in Practice: Anger Management (Part 2) So how can this violent chain of events, within the mind, be prevented? How can the ego and intolerance be controlled? - Through self-realization - also known as, "Vichara." Yoga in Practice: Anger Management (Part 1) Yoga has been able to help many of mankind's ailments, but what about anger management? How can Yoga prevent rage and the burning desire for revenge? Many people say: "Don't get mad, get even." Is this what we are talking about? Yoga in Practice: Ajna Chakra Do you think that Tiger Woods ever focused on missing a putt or losing a golf tournament? Whatever you envision, can easily become your reality. Yoga in Practice: A Peaceful Planet Non-practitioners often accuse Yoga practitioners of too much self-indulgence. The common concern is that too much self-awareness will cause the Yogi, or Yogini, to worship the inner being. Before you get too excited - you and I know this is not true, but the world needs some time to adjust to Yogic philosophy. Yoga for Kids: Building Self-Image (Part 2) Children have to be taught to appreciate themselves as they are. Self-worth cannot be calculated by the skill of one single activity, and Yoga is the sum of many different activities, within a given class. Yoga for Kids: Building Self-Image (Part 1) Let's look at the positive aspects for children within a typical Kids Yoga class. Although, Yoga is a vast subject, and there are a number of topics to discuss; children are better off being taught to focus on four components within a Hatha Yoga class.
