Yogafit Basics: Secure Yoga

By Beth Shaw

Yoga remains the quickest developing physical exercise in America, but exactly what makes this form of physical exercise so interesting? From a physical standpoint, yoga is practical strength and functional flexibility - we all have these amazing systems, and that is the only real equipment needed. Another advantage of yoga is the mind/body element: relaxation, breathing and elevated mind/body consciousness.

The exercise science discipline is eventually catching up along with the developing trend of yoga as a great kind of practical physical fitness. We are seeing new publications and training courses available every day associated with the body structure, kinesiology and concepts of positioning of these multi-joint, multi-planar workouts. To get more flexibility within yoga, we practice static and dynamic stretches. As we get stronger, our muscles concentrically, eccentrically and isometrically contract as we move, hold and breathe.

Body Structure Education

YogaFit now offers professional training in Anatomy & Alignment, that will help anyone better understand the exercise science behind this practical workout offering. This kind of training is designed for yoga pupils and teachers who wish to explore how to teach conventional yoga asana properly and effectively. These interactive 2-day workshops are coached by physiological experts in hatha yoga anatomy and physical exercise science and are now available in main cities across the country. Learn physiology in a pleasurable, interactive environment that emphasizes learning what you would actually recall and show to your own students and customers.

You will learn distinctive kinesiological perspectives and details on postures. The musculoskeletal body structure and biomechanics required to more correctly and successfully teach hatha yoga alignment based on the foundational principles of YogaFit's Seven Principles of Alignment (SPA) are taught interactively. This particular teaching is designed for yoga teachers and physical fitness experts with all levels of anatomical background and knowledge.

This physiology education can make it easier for you to definitely fully grasp muscle mass and joint action in all practical health and fitness programs, including calisthenics, circuit training, pilates, yoga exercises and much more. Yoga focuses on core/pelvic stability by means of increasing our bandhas, so find out why "the center starts with the feet" and what you can carry out to enable your students to activate their core in all standing postures and exercises.

"YogaFit Anatomy & Alignment is really a practical, well-structured and properly-taught interactive training filled with the most relevant data to instructing and practicing yoga," states Trish Kepple, recent training attendee, yoga instructor and certified massage therapist.
