...1) Your students truly benefit from it.

Your students will likely be either seniors or those with physical limitations. Especially in the case of someone that has not been exercising at all because of their condition, you will often see rapid improvements. Prospective students sometimes report feeling better after a single class.

Liz knew that she was on to something from that very first demonstration to the seniors group at our church. After the demo, one of the women rushed up to Liz and put her hands in Liz hands. Do you feel that? she said, my hands havent felt warm in years!

While we don't promise miracles (and neither should you!) we've seen chair yoga lower students' blood pressure, cause them to stop needing anti-anxiety medicine, allow them to sleep better, regain height, relieve the symptoms of chronic diseases such as multiple sclerosis, and much more. Students' health care professionals will sometimes notice the difference chair yoga is making and ask what they are doing differently. Of course, the patient is always told to keep it up!

2) Your work will be truly appreciated and youll hear about it, too.

You will often enjoy having people tell you about all the wonderful things that chair yoga has done to make them more comfortable, healthier, and happier.

Those of us that are younger and don't have a debilitating condition tend to take some things for granted. Chair yoga might help a person raise their arm above their heads to reach something, or turn their head back to check traffic, when they had lost the ability to do so. I think I'd be appreciative, too!

3) Millions of prospective students and growing daily.

I just saw a statistic that blew my mind one baby boomer turns 50 every 8 seconds!

So much has been said about the value of marketing into the coming boom in baby boomer seniors that I shouldn't have to convince you. Besides, we can all see it happening right before our very eyes.

yoga instructor Training Aspects - yoga Class Priorities

...e class wants to progress in their practice, has a personal reason for being there, and may not appreciate our personal opinions. We want to focus on the lesson plan, at hand, and subjects related to Yoga practice.

Anything else is a distraction, which will prevent our students from becoming present for their practice. The last thing we need to do is create a diversion, within the Yoga classes we are teaching.

Avoid over correcting: Most students need a little help seeing, hearing, or feeling the right technique. This is fine, but some students begin to feel they cannot do anything right in our classes; especially, if they are the first one we constantly assist after w...more

Bored With Your Exercise Routine, Give Ballet booty Yoga a Try

...fferent.

Different can be good, if you are looking for a new way in which to workout. If you do the same types of exercise on a regular basis, you tend to become bored with them. Boredom can slowly mean that you will lose interest in doing them. That is why many faithful exercisers like to spice up their workouts some, they like variety and they do not like to do the same routines again and again. Many of these types of people are turning to Ballet, booty Yoga.

At first, people are intrigued by the name. It is catchy and just saying it can make you smile. Then when we see the movements, we want to try them. Once we try them, we find we like them and we like their challenge.

If we continue using the Ballet booty Yoga movements over time, we can actually begin to tone up mo...more

Yoga for Prevention and Termination of Drug Abuse

...need them.

Yoga already stimulates the mind and body, but for the purpose of improving the practitioner's health. This is where Yoga could save humanity from drug abuse. Instead of focusing on the "Drug War," why not teach Yoga, to children, globally?

Yoga programs for children would prevent drug abuse and eliminate the need for stimulating, or dulling, the senses. In one generation, we could eliminate the need for illegal drugs and the crimes related to them.

Yoga practice does not have any harmful side effects. A drug a...more
