Teaching Yoga for Skiing: Cardiovascular Work

Students who are just beginning an exercise regime or who are not in optimal physical condition will need to begin practicing Yoga at a slower pace with some modifications. The same is true of students who are contending with injuries, chronic illness or healing from surgery. As a Yoga instructor, it is important for you to be aware of the general fitness level of your students and any heart conditions, injuries, illnesses, or other limiting physical considerations.

Some students may even have begun a regular practice of Yoga in order to enhance and support their weight loss efforts.

Many Yoga practitioners are vegetarians, but some are not. Some sources of meat are actually healthy, and the benefits out weight the small amounts of contamination the meat might contain. Fish concentrate poison in their liver, and the meat is largely free of toxins.

About Yoga for Learning Disabilities

Recently, several influential professional journals published articles validating Yoga’s effects on behavioral and learning processes. This is good news for teachers and parents who often observe subtle difficulties but aren’t sure what to do about them. In this case, Yoga may help bridge the gap.

Yoga and Mastering Intuition

The time after practice is most important because you are applying the practical applications of yoga toward your life. Use your senses to see, hear, smell, touch and taste, after your intuition building session.
