Bali is famous for all types of Yoga. There are many special classes for particular types of yoga. Among all kinds, Vinyasa Yoga is one of the famous types of Yoga. The word "Vinyasa" means the "Breathing System", implying that this Yoga type is related to our breathing system. In general, all the trainers say that without Vinyasa, don't do any asana. It simply means breathing movement, and all the types of Yogasana are assigned a particular number of Vinyasa.

The Truth about Options for Yoga Teachers

September 13, 2022 | Labels: , , , , , , ,

When, or if, you decide to become a Yoga teacher, you should start with a basic Yoga teacher training course that gives you an overview of all of the fields within Yoga. If you decide to specialize, it is best to do it when the need becomes apparent. This is not always the case for every Yoga instructor. For example: You may have a calling for Prenatal Yoga or Kids Yoga.

This is fine - as Yoga teachers, and Yoga practitioners, we all understand passion. However, please make sure there is a market for the Yoga teaching niche you desire in your local area. After you get your "feet wet," teaching Yoga to different groups, you will more accurately see your own destiny.

This may not happen right away, and some Yoga instructors are very comfortable working with the "general population." When I look at my weekly schedule, I teach Yoga to kids, seniors with various levels of mobility, Gentle Yoga to a targeted middle aged group, Restorative Yoga (which also attracts students in the middle-aged range), Vinyasa Yoga classes to students in the 20 to 30 years of age range, and private sessions, which can cover just about anything.

To be honest, this is not for everyone, but if you teach Yoga full time, you tend to go where the needs are. Yoga students will seek you out, and you may have a specialized market that "screams" for your help. This will guide you toward a needful population of motivated Yoga students.

This is exactly what happened to me with Chair Yoga. When I received a call from a local senior center for Yoga classes, I had no idea it would become so popular. That led to filling up my morning Yoga class schedule, Later, I trained Yoga instructors, in my area, to address a need that is far beyond my ability to fulfill. The fact is, more Chair Yoga teachers are needed right now.

In our next section, we will go over some options for Yoga teachers, who have students, or potential students, seeking a specific form of Yoga instruction. Some of these niche markets will give you no passion at all, but it is good to look at your teaching options and then decide which sort of Yoga training you want to get involved in.

Always remember to keep an eye on which forms of Yoga are in demand, even though they may not appeal to you personally.

5 Ways to Deepen Your Hot Yoga Practice

June 27, 2017 | Labels: , , , ,


With the tail end of winter and the beginning of spring, you might've come to realize that a sound boost to body's fitness would bring about a radical change in your general wellness and feel good factor as well.

Now if you feel that your workout schedule has been erratic due to heavy snow or long cold freezing winter mornings, it's just the time to shake yourself up and make a leap to a consistent practice.

Let's run through some steps which could go a long way in ensuring that your hot yoga practice becomes a lot more utilitarian, even as the overall experience becomes more positive.

1. FINDING A FRIEND

If you choose to find a friend for your hot yoga classes, it simply works towards ensuring that your practice stays more consistent. You could then work towards sharing postures, and maybe even making sure that you share your ideas about the practice as you learn together.

2. PUSH YOURSELF FURTHER

To make sure you make simply the best out of your hot yoga training, it would really be a fine idea if you choose to set some goals for yourself. And that way, you'd come to realize that you are able to push yourself further and get the most out of all that your hot yoga training sessions have to offer.

3. CHOOSE TO BECOME A HOT YOGA INFLUENCER

If you come to realize that your hot yoga coaching and sessions are actually beneficial, or you ended up receiving more than you initially bargained for, why not become a hot yoga influencer!

So you may choose to share your positive experiences in discussions, with your family or even at your workplace. Or you may share your positive experiences on social media or forums.

This would even work towards letting you stay committed to your practice, or motivate you further towards working upon techniques that need improvement.



4. FINDING A GOOD STUDIO

Choosing the right kind of a studio for your hot yoga training and practice is of great importance, so as to make sure that you build strong fundamentals and deepen your yoga practice.

Yoga Alliance is basically a U.S. based nonprofit membership trade and professional organization for yoga teachers. RYT stands for a Registered Yoga Teacher, and it is a certification given by Yoga Alliance.

Similarly, if a Yoga School adheres to certain standards wherein the qualification also involves its trainers, it gets one of the RYS (Registered Yoga School) certifications.

So it is highly preferable that you choose to go for a RYS 200 or a RYS 500 yoga studio. It is also preferable that your yoga school is OHYA (Original Hot Yoga Studios) certified.

5. CONSIDER GOING FOR A TTC (TEACHER TRAINING COURSE)

Consider joining a teacher training course at a well known studio in your city or outside.

TTC allows you to take your yoga training and poses to the next level while empowering you with options to teach or practice in a structured way.

BFree Hot Yoga Teacher Training revolutionizes the yoga training experience. Not only does BFree have 7 years experience in training successful and strong yoga teachers, but after completion of the Best Free program our teachers also have the opportunity to teach in over seventy studios in our worldwide network

Is Hot Yoga Good For Kids and Teens?

June 27, 2017 | Labels: , , ,



Is heated yoga cool for kids?

Seems that this hot secret is finally out: kids can benefit from hot yoga as much as adults. And even more so.

As such, many hot yoga studios are seeing an uptick in the attendance of youngsters, particularly tweens.

On the physical level, yoga has been shown to enhance physical flexibility, coordination and strength, all of which makes children less injury-prone on the playing field. And kids of all ages play a lot of sports in school and after school, including college level sports.

On an emotional level, children who practice yoga often show increased self-esteem. They are better able to focus on tasks and manage stress in school including tests, homework, and a social life which can become quite stressful as they enter the tween year


What is hot yoga?

Traditional Hot 26 yoga is done in 105 degrees with 40% humidity, a 26 pose sequence for 90 minutes.

The teacher is charged with keeping everyone both safe and challenged to their max, so rest assured: your kids will be well cared for in the heat.



Benefits for Young Athletes

Kids can play rough.

True hot yoga enhances flexibility, coordination and strength, all of which makes children less injury-prone on the playing field. That's one reason more and more high school coaches - football, baseball, soccer and hockey - are recommending hot yoga to their young athletes.

In addition, children who practice often report increased self-esteem and are better able to handle stress including tests, homework, and a busy after school schedule.

And what teenager wouldn't benefit from a large dose of self-direction?

Yoga-kids also tend to better manage emotional challenges with patience, tolerance, and, let's say the L word: love.

At what age can children do hot yoga?

In my opinion as a yoga teacher, age 10 is about the earliest a young student can fully manage the stamina and balance, as well as heat acclimatization needed to full enjoy the 90 minute hot class.

Make sure they drink plenty of water - half their body weight in ounces - so they go into class already well-hydrated.

Should parents bring their children to yoga? A heated debate...

I love seeing parents and their children doing hot yoga together and bonding over a sweaty class.

Even when tweens or teens have little in common with their parents, they can still enjoy this challenge together. Being warriors together in yoga class can offer a respite from battling each another.

One caution for the parent: stop being a parent while you're in class with your kids! Don't correct them, scold them, don't even place your mat where you can see them - otherwise the temptation to parent them will be too great.

Let the yoga teacher handle everything in the class; enjoy your practice and let your kid enjoy hers.

Yoga teaches balance, body control, it even teaches focus and concentration. These yoga-inspired traits are something every youngster can carry well into adulthood and turn into lifelong habits for happiness and success.

And a reminder of the value of patience, self love and a time when your body was a lot more flexible, are great for the child in all of us adults, too.
