					  <description><![CDATA[Have you ever felt like you were visiting "Bizarro World" or some sort of parallel universe? On a rare occasion, you may get a chance to hear a unique opinion about Yoga. Listening is always a chance to learn something new.<BR>
<BR>
Some of my best memories are of listening to people talk about the benefits of Yoga; but recently, I had a chance to overhear a conversation about how self-centered Yogis are.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Yoga is said to cure almost every ailment known to humankind, but how do we define anger? Some of us feel anger the minute we wake up, while others never seem to let anything bother them. Anger is hard to place on the emotional spectrum, as it arises from a combination of thoughts, emotions, feelings, and circumstances.<BR>
<BR>
Anger can cause wars, holocausts, and crimes of passion.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Yoga is often thought of as a method for preventing injury. How could injuries occur during Yoga classes? How are the postures and pranayama presented during a class? Are postures thoroughly explained or strung together in a sequence and presented "on the fly."<BR>
<BR>
If the time is taken to know each student's condition of health, there is, at least, one student present who needs a full and complete explanation of the posture.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[How much attention, to proper alignment, do you see in Yoga classes? How fast is the pace of the class? Are students being asked about pre-existing injuries before participating in a Yoga session?<BR>
<BR>
Proper alignment, while practicing, is so important because of the benefits over time. At the same time, poor alignment can cause injuries. Yoga should be taught by a competent instructor, who is watching participants perform a given technique.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Although the general public might see many different styles of Yoga, in a variety of locations, Yoga is often categorized as a form of physical fitness. Some might go a bit further by classifying Yoga as a form of wellness or a mind and body exercise.<BR>
<BR>
If you speak to the average participant, most of them would consider the chance of injury, during Yoga class, unthinkable.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[For decades, the public has been aware that Yoga brings about a tranquil state of mind. Yoga principles can be applied toward every aspect of improving daily life. Yoga is much more than pictures of people performing postures - it is a complete lifestyle.<BR>
<BR>
If we look at the first limb of the Eight Limbed Path, described by Maharishi Patanjali, we observe Yama (restraints).]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[When teaching Yoga to new students, there are a variety of challenges for both teachers and students. Yoga can be a learning curve for a new student. At the same time, the methodology of teaching can be a challenge for a Yoga instructor. Below is a question and answer session, in relation to silent observation and student abilities, in a Yoga class.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Beyond philosophy, meditation, asana, and Pranayama, there is still much more for an intern to learn about teaching Yoga. These subjects get some attention, during a 200-hour Yoga certification course, but once an intern has successfully graduated, a peripheral subject becomes a part of daily independent research or continuing education.<BR>
<BR>
Teaching methodology is learned by instructing classes.]]></description>

					  <link>http://www.healthandfitnessonline.net/articles/28842/1/How-Should-the-Topic-of-Philosophy-Be-Approached-in-a-Yoga-Teacher-Certification-Course/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[Yogic philosophy is so vast that it could easily dominate a 200-hour Yoga teacher training. After spending a three day weekend, lecturing about how to apply Yama and Niyama in every facet of life, I realized that this workshop could have been expanded to two weekends.<BR>
<BR>
However, the philosophy component is not what most Yoga teacher interns want to learn.]]></description>

Q: Over the weekend, I met up with a student that is in her early twenties (about 23-24, maybe) and she is interested in Yoga. She is in her first trimester of her third pregnancy.]]></description>
