I'm studying to be a yoga teacher. |
||||||||

that is awesome! im still really unfamilair with terms and such but i think we do a pretty hard form of yoga, it is quite a stretch my teacher says you have to have a balance between flexibility and strength so as to not screw up your joints for instance. also you have to overcome barriers, meaning you have to believe you can go through stifnesses he's funny, he told us he recently went to india to study and that set him back because he saw how little he's still able to do.. what kind of style would you say you practise? what do you have to do to become a teacher? be really good and be able to see where others are at? tnx |

I have two teachers at the moment, one who teaches me asana (the poses) and one who is taking the teacher training course. My asana teacher is an Iyengar teacher, so we hold the poses for quite a while and use props (blocks, straps, boulsters) to help with some of the more advanced poses. I would consider him to be quite a hard teacher, although I have done work-shops with teachers who are even more full-on than he is. My teachers training instructor is far more laid-back. She is more interested in teaching us to be holistic yoga teachers, focussing on the student as a whole and not just on how far forward they bend or how long they can hold a headstand. The course is 18 months part-time and there is no entry requirement. However, if you intend to eventually teach a class you really have to have develop a daily practice of your own so you have some type of base to teach from. |

I want to do the yoga where you take your dick and wrap it around a stick and stretch your dick out like taffy. |

just started yoga this week, ive enrolled in an ashtanga yoga class which is held daily at 6am. ive got a feeling this practise might just save my life! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
apparantly i do , just like darkpromenade. we haven't used props yet though. maybe because we do it at my kungfu school where we only have mats as 'props' (besides weapons, lol) |
||||||||

wow, am |

the iyengar technique looks really helpful. i have a lot of trouble getting into the advanced positions, but then i totally expect that. my class is full of hardcore students, but i dont compare myself to them or get put off. it already feels rewarding .. and the early time gives me a great start to the day :) |

By Yoga, do you mean a) Bending your body like Gerri Halliwell, Madonna etc b) Sitting in one position for 10 hours in a bid to master the physical being before engaging in meditation to master (& demolish) thought c) none of the above [please specify] ? |

ashtanga involves a sequence of increasingly difficult positions, held in conjuction with internal muscle locks and a specific breathing pattern. its really punishing. my plan was to take this up to reinforce my meditation, which had grown pretty rusty. so far so good, theres been noticeable improvement. |

I was enticed by Yoga a whlie bag, but never tried it. I do TaeBo at work though, when no one is around. |

Naa, Pizza Hut managers are cool with us goofing off if we are done, or temporarily caught up. |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|

sounds like you've got a really good attitude :) and Ashtanga Yoga is FULL-ON! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its making me think a lot about where im going with my body, i realise ive got to act now to take care of my future self. it sure it full on, but my instructors seem to work with reasonable targets. i wonder how long its going to take me to reach my toes! |
||||||||

In an hour I have a yoga workshop where I might have to teach to a class of very senior yoga teachers. I have never taught a class before. I am shitting my pants. This morning I was the least experienced yogi in the workshop. I really struggled with some poses........... most others were cruising......... shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good luck with your class. that sounds like a daunting situation. i have friends asking me to teach them what ive learned, and thats more difficult than i expected. my instructor tied me up into knots last week, my back feels really unusual. there must be some muscles there that i have never used before! i reckon my experience in meditation is definitely helping. i can bypass to some extent my emotional response to pain, and push things a bit further :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I didn't end up having to teach.... thank god! :) Meditation is very similar to yoga practice. When your holding a pose that you find difficult, or even simpler poses you've been in for several minutes, the mind starts to make "noise". Soon enough it will be screaming! Finding a place of calm at these moments is a deeper practice.... flexibilty of the mind as well as the body. |

ive just started doing yoga again. might go to a beginners class tomorrow. I like doing it at home after work, dont know what a class will be like.. are courses worth doing, or am I better off at home doing it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you are the beginner you should do it with your teacher. however you can perform some easier and safe asanas at home. but you should do it properly. otherwise you can seriously damage your body. i should go back to yoga class too... 5 months without training, shit... |

I'm considering to start doing some yoga on my own. I'm so stiff it's not funny. If I try yo touch my toes while I'm standing there's still 30 cm of space between my fingertips and toes. and I'm realy stretching myself. :s but I wondering how healthy it is for your body to do |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm gonna start with this |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd really recommend you go to a beginners course with a teacher if you really are interested in yoga. And go and check out a few studios and talk to a few of the teachers before you choose where to go. Like everything, there are all sorts of yoga and all sorts of teachers! |
||||||||

just went to my first yoga lesson after years of doing it by myself. I think this wil become a weekly thing, really good.. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how long are your yoga sessions? 1 hour or longer? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I want to try it. I have difficulties handling stress nowdays since my Panic attacks started . Maybe it is something for me. Does Yoga include Meditation ? or am i mixing up things? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you are mixing up. yoga (hatha yoga by Iyengar method, or Ashtanga) includes RELAXATION, no religious, buddhist bullshit. However it might be very good way to deal with stress. Also there is a great thing about feeling everything more deep and full after regular yoga lessons (after 3, 4 months). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so? how long are your sessions? :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
can you repeat the question? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
okay i just read the question again my sessions are just one hour they do floor me though |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, and howmany sessions per week? me: 3 or 4 times a week every session is about 1h long. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
;/ really? ok. 7 months now? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok! let the Adho Mukha Svanasana be with you. I have a lesson in one hour :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I taught my first yoga class last night! I'm teaching a beginners class once at the YMCA...... (Young man......etc. etc.) I had three students in the class last night. The big test is will any of them come back next week! Very confronting for me, being in front of people as a teacher, but I was pumped after the class. My long term goal is to teach more and work less.... and this was the first step on that path. I offer discount classes to all XLT members. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this is too cool :) hope they will come back :) during summer I was practising 6 times per week and it was great. Now I practise 3-5 times per week. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My girlfriend likes yoga. Are you planning on running any classes in South Wales (UK) and if so, does the zilty-discount extend to our other halves? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:) Dates for the darkpromenade yoga-tour will be announced soon. "BEND-OVER-YOGA" coming to a place near you! Please note: Above mentioned discount is only available for XLT members or students accompanied by one. Premium members will recieve a free yoga mat. Members with over 20000 points will recieve free counselling. |
