Music sets the tone for your yoga class. Setting the mood for students makes all the difference between students really letting go emotionally, physically and spiritually in yoga. Many students will tell you that music in yoga that is all chants (for example, solely using Krishna Das) can be boring. Why not mix it up with a playlist that is modern and fun and also matches the tempo class?
Do Prenatal Pregnancy Yoga
Yoga is a great way to stay in shape during pregnancy. It helps keep you flexible and toned and it improves balance and circulation. A special benefit of yoga for pregnancy is that it helps you learn deep breathing and relaxation techniques. Many gyms and yoga studies provide prenatal yoga classes with instructors who are specifically trained in prenatal yoga.
Start Teaching Kids Yoga
When you visit most yoga studios, you'll find mostly adults taking the classes. However, yoga is a discipline that can be taught to children as well. Kids that learn yoga have better self esteem as well as a higher degree of physical fitness.
Do Yoga Backbend Stretches
A yoga backbend stretch can help you stretch out multiple areas of your body. If your abs are somewhat tight, doing a backbend stretch can help to loose them up. If your shoulders are a little sore, doing this backbend stretch can actually help you stretch them out.
Relieve Anxieties Using Yoga
Yoga is a soothing way to relieve stress and tension through breathing exercises and gentle stretching poses. It helps you train your body to relax during stressful situations that can trigger an anxiety attack. You can start off slowly by learning and practicing yoga breathing on your own, and then move on to combining it with yoga "asanas," or poses. Yoga instruction books and DVD's are a stress-free way to learn yoga at home. Follow these steps to learn more.
