Music For Yoga Two

Posted by admin On December - 4 - 2010Comments Off

This is a very good CD for relaxation and chilling out at home after a long day at the office. All 7 of the recording artists who perform the 12 selections on the CD are in top form and the music varies from chants or flute solo, to synthesized space music. However, I don’t think it is the right CD for meditative yoga. For example, Randy Armstrong’s two selections were a bit too influenced by jazz and improvisation and this made them less appropriate for quite meditation. I found 5 selections that would work for meditative yoga practice but many of the others were a bit too vocal or too jazzy to enduce meditation and quiet. The five selections I think were right for meditation were Air Oil by Peas, Opening and Devotion by Stephen DeRuby and Plant and Misty by Kitaro.

Yoga Zone: Music one

Posted by admin On December - 4 - 2010Comments Off

I’m a yoga instructor who was very disappointed in this CD as far as it being a music to practice to. The music for me felt all wrong for my own practice – the sequencing, the pace of the music, the song selection by Windam House. It felt more like easy listening music, but not quite right for a yoga practice (even a slow flow practice). For me, the music has to fade into the back ground while I’m practicing – this just grates on my nerves. My classes didn’t care for the music and complained that the music was distracting for them as well. I recommend Planet Yoga (both CD’s are wonderful- Disc 1 for faster paced and Disc 2 for meditation or slow flow) and Yoga Rhythm.

The series of yoga poses

You will study directly under a Yoga Master Nakul Kapur, who serves as the catalyst and guide for the continually deepening your journey.

His main aim to provide Yoga Teacher Training Vancouver that is not only life-transforming, but teach you clearly, simply and practically how to bring that transformation to everyone you meet and into everything that you do. Our Yoga Teacher Training Vancouver is also effective in helping people with stress, addictions, sleep disorders, nervous conditions and in releasing long-standing behavioral patterns.

The series of yoga poses called asanas work by safely stretching your muscles. This releases the lactic acid that builds up with muscle use and causes stiffness, tension, pain, and fatigue. In addition, yoga increases the range of motion in joints. It may also increase lubrication in the joints. The outcome is a sense of ease and fluidity throughout your body.
Yoga stretches not only your muscles but all of the soft tissues of your body. That includes ligaments, tendons, and the fascia sheath that surrounds your muscles.
Yoga benefits: Strength
Some styles of yoga, such as ashtanga and power yoga, are more vigorous than others. Practicing one of these styles will help you improve muscle tone.
But even less vigorous styles of yoga, such as Iyengar yoga, which focuses on less movement and more precise alignment in poses, can provide strength and endurance benefits.
Many of the poses, such as Downward Dog, Upward Dog, and Plank pose, build upper-body strength. This becomes crucial as people age.
