Yoga Benefits
So this was my first yoga class. In the beginning I just though yoga is setting still, but after this class I know how yoga can make all and every muscle working. I took this class because my doctor asked me to do yoga after 2 bad car accidents so I can get the muscle in my back and my nick get stronger. As well as I need to have that time for me that I can relax and challenge myself, While that is my favorite thing to do.
To tell the truth Kat you are amazing yoga instructor. The only different I wish I can see is another class. I wish that you can talk to the dean and make it yoga I, II, III. I never enjoy anything like how I enjoy this class. If I will take yoga again I wish just more challenge class, but I understand that not everyone was still able to do down dog  that is why I would love yoga III.
I had so much benefits from the class, first one is I feel my muscle are working I do have a lot of muscles not and I can run more and do more pushups. Second thing I really relax in class even though not in the relaxing time because I have a monkey brine but during the exercises. Third I was so happy when we did the shkra test I kind of never knew that helping people and focusing all the time on the other people cud affect me that bad. Fourth I was really enjoy the time that I had for myself in the class. Yoga class was the only class that I really enjoy being in it and felt sad to miss3 classes in the semester. One more thing that I got out of this class is my legs are a lot stronger and that help me while I work for 12 hrs shift standing up
Kat you made me love yoga and I am planning to get a membership in GYM just for yoga classes or just get in hot yoga because I want try it out. Thanks so much for your time and Namaste!

    Bikram yoga was developed thirty years ago by Bikram Choudhury, a renowned Hatha Yoga Master. It is a specific yoga practice that is carried out in 105˚ F at 40% humidity for 90 minutes. Some studies and practitioners have suggested that Bikram yoga practice has positive impacts on physical health as well as decreasing stress and anxiety. There were certain inclusion criteria for participation in this study. Age was not an exclusion and participants ranged in age from 18 to over 60 years of age. This study sought to interview active students of Bikram yoga who have been practicing consistently for at least the last eight weeks, at a minimum of three times per week. Students meeting the requirements at the Bikram yoga studios in San Antonio were invited to complete the survey instrument from November 16 through November 26, 2011. Seventy-five students responded to the survey. The results indicated that there are significant positive results from regularly practicing Bikram yoga. Since Bikram yoga encourages students to hold poses in a “hot” room it increases heart rate and acts as a cardiovascular exercise without the high impact normally associated with cardio exercises. The results of the survey instrument yielded over 50% of respondents reporting an answer of “somewhat better” for all of the questions, indicating that most respondents see a benefit in their practice. Additionally, stress and anxiety decreased with over 80% of respondents reporting somewhat to much less anxious and stressed. Improvements to physical fitness were observed with over 90% reporting improved…

    Yoga is a system of techniques that can be used for a number of goals, from simply managing stress better, learning to relax, and increasing limberness all the way to becoming more self-aware and acquiring the deepest knowledge of one’s own self. The core of Yoga’s philosophy is that everything is supplied from within the individual. Thus, there is no dependence on an external figure, either in the sense of a person or god figure, or a religious organization.…

    Yoga is an exercise practiced for heath and relaxation having to do with breathing control while adopting specific body positions. Some conclusions have been pieced together about the history of yoga since the exact origin is uncertain. The first concrete evidence of yoga’s existence are some stones which have pictures on them of people doing various poses that resemble today’s yoga. These stones are thought to have been used around 3000 B.C. But even though there is not physical evidence of yoga before this, some scholars believe that its origin was before the stones were created. Since Stone Age Shamanism and yoga have similar characteristics, the scholars believe this is when yoga…

    Living your yoga is about taking the practice off the mat and into our everyday life. Also it is about realizing that it is called the “practice” because it is exactly that. Yoga philosophy teaches us simple and valuable lessons about acceptance, happiness, health, appreciation, and love. Making our lives full of these things not all the time but consistently is difficult and Judith helps us see that patience and ahimsa (non hurting or self judgment) can help us experience these things daily despite our external conditions. Looking inward is where to find the gold, it is nowhere else.…

    The role of a teacher is diverse and multifactorial; Francis and Gould (2009) suggest that the role of a teacher is not simply to be an evaluator but also to be a subject leader, curriculum developer, assessor, verifier and role model. Alternatively I suggest that the role and responsibilities of a teacher whilst multi variant are rooted in equality, diversity, inclusion, reflective learning, evaluation and progress. The role of a yoga teacher is to promote physical, mental and emotional support through postures and breathing techniques which assists students with their personal progression. Individual autonomy is paramount. It is necessary to be aware that the physical ability of a yoga teacher should not be affected by ones ego, the role is not to simply demonstrate advanced postures or techniques but to align with the group’s ability. The role is to collaborate, reflect and see the potential benefits of being a teacher.…

    Students should use their time in yoga class time to listen to their bodies. One of the goals in yoga is to reduce suffering. That means paying attention to the physical sensations in our bodies, and watching for good ones and bad ones. Good sensations are: feeling a mild muscle stretch, shaking, trembling, sweating, or the heart rate elevating. These sensations for most of us are okay, and a symbol that we’re building strength. Bad sensations include: a stabbing pain, throbbing pain, aching pain, burning, tingling, pressure in the face or throat, gasping, or shortness of breath. These are signals that we need to back off or try something else. Only you are in your body, and only you know what sensations you’re feeling to determine if they are good or bad…

    Slowly as time passed, and I took the classes, I began to notice changes in my body and stamina. The classes are broken into two, one hour segments, Extreme Fitness and Krav Maga. In Extreme Fitness, the instructors run us through exercises using our own body weight, kettle bells, cardio and combatives on a heavy bag. I could hit the bag harder, do more pushups, and the cardio did not wind me like it used to. I saw changes in how much energy I had, waking up and not being tired and having more energy through the day. I saw a change in how my clothes fit me, my pants hanging looser on me, so much so that I had to buy a smaller belt so they would not fall down.…
