The Difference between a Mediocre Yoga Class and a Powerful Yoga Class
2:39 am - January 23, 2012 | Posted By Linda in Yoga | No CommentsThere is literally a myriad of Yoga studios and classes now in Singapore. With offers like twenty dollars for 4 sessions, how does a practioner identify and choose classes which are worthy of time and money?
Speaking from the experience of a Singaporean whom has done Yoga with large gyms, famous large Yoga centers, small niche Yoga studios, and then traditional Yoga from authentic ashrams in India itself, I would say there is a world of difference between a mediocre class and “the” class that makes a difference.
1) Headcount of the Class
The very first thing that determines the quality of a Yoga session is the size of the class. Are we looking at 10 people, 20 people or more? If there are 30 people in a class for example, how many instructors are there?
When the size of a Yoga class gets big, the attention of the instructor gets divided more. Each practioner gets little or no interaction from the instructor.
Interaction and touch from the instructor is important because these help to correct & refine postures, and also allow the students to move deeper into practice to heal faster.
Our Yoga Classes at Light Love Laughter are always kept to a maximum of 12 people; when the class gets bigger we arrange additional instructors to assist in conducting the class.
2) How is the Yoga Workout designed?
One of our earlier students reported to us that she felt sick after some Yoga classes that she did at other Yoga Centers. She asked why.
The thing to note is that even though Yoga is a powerful ancient art of healing, it can be done in wrong ways to bring more harm than good. This is also the number one reason that you want to learn from instructors who know their work.
To explain briefly, we Human beings have energy vortexes known as Chakras. These occur on unseen planes, spanning over our whole being. The main 7 Chakras occur on a vertical fashion – from the root of our spine to the crown of our head.
To learn more about the amazing ancient healing powers of aligning Chakras, join us in our next Yoga Teachers Training Course 2012! Email to registration@rawfoodlifestyles.com to enjoy Early Bird offers & find out more.
A Yoga session is safe and powerful only when a Yoga workout is designed according to the ascending order of Chakras, especially for beginners. When the sequence gets disrupted, blind energy is released, and can be very harmful.
3) More than Yoga
Health and wellness is a holistic cycle with 3 spokes – Lifestyle (Yoga) + Diet (Living Foods) + Spiritual Development (Yoga)
When a person practices Yoga, and immediately after the session, goes out and eats French Fries, then the person does not know the why behind her Yoga.
Its like stepping on the accelerator and brake pedals together at the same time. Where do you want to move your vehicle? Where do you really want to move in terms of health – for the better or the worse?
Yoga is just one part; the other big part is Diet. You can do 10 hours of Yoga per week, but if you eat buckets of processed nutrient carcinogenic food, then it defeats the purpose.
At Light Love Laughter, our Yoga Smoothie Package is a one-of-its-kind program that gives you results. The first in Singapore and Asia (we suspect in the rest of the world too maybe), our Yoga practices comes complete with a Living Organic Smoothie – made with our in house recipe that proves to work. When you practice Transformational Yoga after drinking a glass of smoothie, your body has clean energy to perform the workout, detox faster, dumps all those toxins through perspiration. What’s more, you are actually injecting loads of first class nutrients into the most important asset of your life – your body.
Our intention of writing this article is to make you present to how to choose a class that best suits you, to identify a Yoga class that works for you. The 1 hour you spend in Yoga class comes from your precious life span, so spend it wisely.
(Email registration@rawfoodlifestyles.com with your name and contact no to experience a Trial Session with us now.)
We have students telling us that their years of “knots” and “aches” become better in just one session. Some tell us that even their physiotherapists cannot give them this kind of relief that they got in a practice with us.
So we urge you to select wisely the Yoga sessions you go to; investing in your body is the best investment you can do right now.
Besides, you are not monkeys, so don’t pay peanuts and receive peanut service.
