Chaturanga Dandasana.Otherwise known as the yogi
push-up. We (yoga nerds) always talk about proper alignment and using
the muscles in your back to support the posture instead of using your
shoulders and chest muscles. Well...the question is: How the hell do you
do that, it's a push-up right?
 This pose is a challenge for nearly every practitioner at some point
in their practice, so if you are new, don't get discouraged. And if you
have been practicing for a while and still don't have it figured
out. |

I hear ya, the economy is tough and you just can't justify a whole year of gym membership just to take some yoga classes. [I really wanted to write "awesome yoga classes"...but I didn't] That's okay...but the truth is, this is a much better deal than I can offer you anywhere else....and here's why:
1. The rate I was offering before was $40 for 4 classes, in 4 wks. That means, you are only coming one time per week. Now we all know that you should be practicing 2-4 times per week in order to really make a difference. |

 If you think that you shouldn't set foot in a yoga class because you aren't flexible, then yoga is exactly what you shouldbe doing. Yoga is strengthening and stretching at the same time. Each pose is an isometric exercise, and flexibility is simply one of the many positive by-products of the practice. In other words, you don't have to be flexible beforeyou start practicing yoga. You just need an open mind and a yoga mat.
It may seem at first glance that yoga is about flexibility, because of all the 'show-off' pictures that you see. |

You've never set foot in a yoga class...and you aren't sure what to expect? Well, I thought I'd give you the low-down before you get there. Here are the bare essentials that you need to know:
1. Try not to eat within 2 hrs of class. I seriously hear a lot of people worried about embarrassing bodily functions. If you don't eat before class you'll be fine. |

I taught my first two yoga classes here in Batavia this week, and I really enjoyed it. Actually I had fun. At the beginning of class, we chanted Om three times. I know that that the Monday night class had a few people in there that had never attended a yoga class or chanted Om, so it was a new thing to try. Before we started, I talked a little bit about why it was an important practice, but I felt like getting a little more technical for this blog post. Not only that, but I serendipitously came across an |

I just watched a short video clip on Facebook, where they were interviewing Bryan Kest who is a well-known and very popular yoga instructor in southern California. One of the things that he said was, "if you can breathe, you can practice yoga". I've heard this many times before and thought it would make for a good blog post.
So, let me repeat that: If you can breathe, you can practice yoga. A lot of people that have never practiced, may think that they could never do yoga because they aren't flexible. |

It literally changes the structure of your brain. It alters your
brain chemistry and it changes the way the thought patterns are
processed. And it's been measured.
A regular yoga practice
can improve physical, mental, and emotional balance. Physically, the
poses bring more strength and flexibility to all areas of the body. That
part is easy to recognize. The more you practice, the stronger and more
flexible you get. Simple. But why do people fall in love with the
practice and why do they feel they have been changed on a deeper more
spiritual level? |

In fact I made fun of people that went to yoga classes. Actually I knew nothing about it until a couple of my friends in college were taking yoga classes and tried to get me to come with them. They tried to explain what it was, but it didn't really matter. I was waaay too cool for yoga, whatever it was. I was more of an extreme sport kinda gal - collegiate diving, snowboarding, karate. That sort of thing. I liked to kick things and yell at the same time, not sit on my ass and breathe.
At age 20, I had a very sore lower back. |
