The word is associated with meditative practices in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. In Hinduism, it also refers to one of the six orthodox (astika) schools of Hindu philosophy, and to the goal toward which that school directs its practices. In Jainism it refers to the sum total of all activities—mental, verbal and physical.According to me, yoga can totally change your life in a positive way.

I've been using yoga more for getting really focused in my life, as my mind often zips all over the place with so many things to do and not enough hours in the day to do them all.</p> <p>The type of Yoga I like best is Yin, which is a restorative yoga that really gets deep into opening up the various muscle areas in your body. You hold the poses for a fairly long time, like 3-5 minutes. </p> <p>The other yoga classes I've done are more a flow type classes that move along. Yin is very the opposite and it takes concentration to be able to get in and hold those poses for that long. I'm learning to keep my mind centered and still, which is a great challenge as often I come in from the outside with lots of things on my mind.</p> <p>I do yin once a week. I also do a flow yoga, which could be like a vinyasa type yoga and then an athletic yoga, which is maybe a cross between hatha and vinyasa. They are not my preference, but it's in a more private studio where there are usually just me or maybe a few other students and the instructor.</p> <p>I'm so proud that last Friday I was able to get deeper in a one of my least favorite poses. This has eluded me for nearly 3 yrs to get this deep, which for many people, it's not a problem. </p> <p>The instructor that now teaches my yoga classes is fairly new to teaching and I've had to get over the fact the former teacher is no longer teaching at where I have my classes, and learn to accept this new instructor. My prior instructor was PERFECT. </p> <p>It's taken quite a few weeks for me to adjust, but I think I'm liking this new person. He is also the first male yoga instructor I've ever had. I'm starting to be more consistent and seeing the benefits of consistency. </p> http://sweat365.com/forum/topic/285#post-1070 Sat, 02 Feb 2008 19:40:39 +0000 Lisa Sabin 1070@http://sweat365.com/forum/ <p>Thanks Deb.

Thanks for the great reply.</p> <p>The other reason I had a hard time with class was finding time that fit in my schedule. It ended up being the 6am class, but even that was hard because I had to get home quickly to help take kids to school.</p> <p>Personal practice at home at least can be done on my own time.</p> <p>The idea of a 1:1 class may be something I should consider, since I assume that would take away the competition edge, and would help me learn how to do the poses right so I could practice them at home.</p> <p>I will consider your challenge to attend a free class. </p> http://sweat365.com/forum/topic/215#post-728 Fri, 26 Oct 2007 21:13:12 +0000 gardenmentor 728@http://sweat365.com/forum/ <p>Where to start answering your questions?...</p> <p>I guess the first thing is to say that I do yoga by myself and in a classroom setting -- both pretty regularly. When I first started doing yoga, I was amazed at what others could do &#38; my competitive side wanted to push to "prove" I, too, could do it all right off the bat. What I learned pretty quickly, and what I think one of the biggest lessons I'm continuing to learn in yoga is that there is no competition among yogis. Finding inward focus and letting your mind go and grounding into yourself will allow you to go further. Patience with your body will allow you to gain a better practice. Taking baby steps and challenging yourself to find an edge but not "forcing" will allow you to go further, faster. The more you ground into your body and let outside distractions (like that kick-ass dancer right next to you in class who can bounce right into a handstand and hold it for 10 minutes without straining or the ticking of a clock or your grumbling stomach) the more you will feel the subtle changes that allow you to go a little further each time. </p> <p>When I first started a regular practice a few years ago, I remember setting a goal: "By the end of this year, I will be able to get my heels to the ground in downdog." Okay, here we are a few years later, and my heels still don't reach the ground. It wasn't a realistic goal. Just because someone next to me has hamstrings that easily do this doesn't mean mine ever will. In turn, the person who has the perfect downdog may never be able to do full lotus and hold themselves up by their hands in that position as I'm often able to do. (Notice I said "often". Everyday in yoga is different.)</p> <p>Okay, so all of that said. Is it easier to practice alone or in a classroom setting? I think this is really a personal distinction. I know some who can't "let go" in a class and move deeply in yoga. I know others, myself included, who thrive on the energy generated in a classroom and the guidance and structure and worry-free environment that a classroom provides. Still, sometimes, I end up doing a practice alone at home. Usually, when I do this, I end up doing what I have already conquered and know I enjoy. When I go to class, I get the challenge to do (or at least try or work toward) the things that may be, well, challenging. </p> <p>Oh, and one last thought on class v. home practic, I learned a lot from doing DVDs. I sort of used them for a while to teach me a few things I wasn't understanding in a classroom setting. Then, I added a couple of workshops and individual lessons to get past troublesome spots that I knew would cause me injury or block me from moving forward. (Things like proper chatauranga so I don't hurt my shoulder rotators.)</p> <p>And, yes, going to a class will help you learn to do poses correctly. Adjustments and subtle hints will get you to the point where you can really conquer the poses for yourself. You mentioned hurting yourself while going to a class. I've done that too. Again, having patience is really important. I have a very regular, intermediate-level yoga practice. But, I still have days when doing a full wheel or shoulderstand is beyond what my body can handle. While, the next day I may do the best of those poses I've ever done before.</p> <p>And, finally, finding the right class and right teacher for you is really important. Time and again I've met people who were turned off to yoga because the teacher or the studio or the time of day wasn't right for them. I've had great teachers, okay teachers, and teachers that I would never grow with. Again, its about the inner self as much as the physical body. If you're emotionally or socially uncomfortable, its tough to turn out the exterior and focus on your own personal interior.</p> <p>Okay, all of that said, I now challenge you to come to a yoga class with me. Odds are with your strength and your height, you'll be up in handstands before I am! <a href="http://www.nwcommyoga.com/">Free Class November 3rd!</a>. </p> http://sweat365.com/forum/topic/215#post-727 Fri, 26 Oct 2007 16:33:46 +0000 Brad Hefta-Gaub 727@http://sweat365.com/forum/ <p>I'll start by admitting, I've tried Yoga, but it's never really stuck with me. More than a year ago, I attended a yoga class twice a week for about 4 months straight... but I ended up getting injured and that scared me away.</p> <p>I'm pretty competitive, and I think that in the classroom setting, I was pushing myself too far because I wanted to do the poses like all the other people in class.</p> <p>I've also tried Yoga DVDs... a couple of which I enjoy, but my alone yoga practice also hasn't taken off. Although I don't push myself in this context, I fear I may not be doing poses correctly.</p> <p>So this begs the question... do you do yoga in a group, by yourself, and how do you find a practice that is right for you? </p> http://sweat365.com/forum/topic/148#post-484 Tue, 24 Jul 2007 20:50:53 +0000 diane108 484@http://sweat365.com/forum/ <p>Hi there, this is Diane for NW Community Yoga.<br /> Hatha yoga is the physical form of yoga. So Bikrim, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Anusara, are all just "styles" of hatha yoga. I will be writing a bit more soon about the differnt types of yoga out there. </p> http://sweat365.com/forum/topic/148#post-474 Mon, 23 Jul 2007 18:50:56 +0000 gardenmentor 474@http://sweat365.com/forum/ <p>My understanding is that Hatha is often just a term used, in the West, to refer to most yoga practice. You can read about its origins at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatha_yoga" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatha_yoga</a>.</p> <p>I've taken classes labelled "Hatha" at a variety of studios, and I've found that all are pretty consistent starting with a short meditation/breath practice, followed by some slow stretches/warm ups, followed by some vinyasa, possibly having some focused pose practice, some inversion and ending with Shavasana. Unless the class is labelled Hatha/Flow, I find they usually don't do a big flow class but may just do a few sun salutations.</p> <p>I'm not sure how it might differ from your gym classes. Any chance you can find out who the instructor is? Usually, they're open to telling you what to expect.</p> <p>Enjoy! </p> http://sweat365.com/forum/topic/148#post-471 Sun, 22 Jul 2007 17:07:13 +0000 littleliz 471@http://sweat365.com/forum/ <p>I am going to register for a Hatha Yoga phys-ed class this fall at the university where I work... </p> <p>I was wondering what the difference was between Hatha Yoga and a general yoga class you might take at a gym. </p> <p>Can anyone help me? :) </p> http://sweat365.com/forum/topic/110#post-300 Tue, 19 Jun 2007 06:51:31 +0000 Brad Hefta-Gaub 300@http://sweat365.com/forum/ <p>Cool, this sounds like a good book, I've always wondered about how to create a routine of poses. I've never been brave enough to create my own routine, but I've been frustrated by the limited selection of the routines on the handful of DVDs I have. I'll check this book out... maybe it will be just what I need to get back into Yoga. </p> http://sweat365.com/forum/topic/110#post-299 Tue, 19 Jun 2007 05:38:44 +0000 balbert 299@http://sweat365.com/forum/ <p>One of my Yoga teachers just put out a book and I would recommend it to those already practicing and looking for some help with developing a home practice.</p> <p>"Art of Sequencing - a yoga instructional by Melina Meza - volume One." You can buy a copy from her website: <a href="http://melinameza.com/artofsequencing.html">melinameza.com</a>.</p> <p>The book is geared towards those who already know some Yoga, the basic poses and have experience with flow already. It has a little bit of explanation on how to do a pose correctly but not really for teaching the poses.</p> <p>The first part goes over basic intro series, followed by a section for specific parts of the body, like shoulder work, hips, back bends and Hamstrings. These are not a few poses but actual flows or mini classes that don't totally isolate that part of the body, but emphasize that as part of a flow. The last part has several flow or one might say classes. The book also includes an audio CD for one of these flow classes.</p> <p>Melina is an excellent teacher with over 10 years of experience and this book is like having a series of great yoga classes at the home without having a private lesson.</p> <p>Check it out... </p>
