Get Fit and Stay Focused with Yoga Training
Yoga teacher training gives you the skills to be a great teacher, and more importantly, it allows you to be a better student of life than you have ever been. A learned presence, an ownership of happiness, a confidence earned by living through the heart.
There is a shift, a transformation that seems to happen to people when they start going through Yoga Training Programs. You are not able to put your finger on it, but something changes. The way you look at someone who is speaking as if paying attention. A new slowness in the way they speak as if they are consciously evaluating the words they are saying.
Yoga Teacher Training opens doors to mindfulness and being comfortable in situations where earlier an unnecessary fight or flight response was the option. It multiplies your ability to channel compassion within your heart, especially for yourself, as well as others – instead of judging others. You also become much more aware of your judgments and adopt more rational thinking processes to handle such moments easier.
A Yoga workshop helps us with what we need to feel better about ourselves. It’s that time of the year when we all make up our lists of resolutions, with promises to work harder, to spend more time with family, to eat better and, of course,—the major one —to lose weight.
Instead of trying to lose weight, what if we could go through a program that would help us appreciate and enhance what we already have? Through yoga training we can help family, teachers, therapists, and educators give us what we need to feel better about ourselves.
Yoga is the science of the body and mind, describing in detail, why and how to practice it. We have to take the attention off the physical body and elevate it to the whole person. It’s our hope by bringing yoga into others lives, they can explore ways to care for themselves as well as others—from a whole body/self perspective.
In a way it’s like looking at ourselves from the inside out. The Yoga approach relates to the concepts of “survive and thrive.” Specifically beyond surviving, the Yoga method offers you a path forward - to being fit and focused—integrating the body, mind, and being. A whole such body/being approach can help you gain the confidence you need to engage with others, learn newer things, and contribute to your environment.
By bringing yoga into your life, though not just as an after-work exercise program. Research has confirmed that teaching and practicing yoga —not only the physical practice but also by way of meditation, incorporating breath techniques and positive language—can help alleviate stress and anxiety, enhance focus and self-awareness, while promoting compassion, especially in the young.
There is definitely a need for yoga teachers interested in the burgeoning field of yoga training in schools. It can show parents, teachers, caregivers, and other yoga instructors how to assume an active role in helping people develop strong and flexible bodies with clear minds, and open hearts.
