Confessions Of A Yoga Instructor

The following are questions that Yoga teachers still need to answer

, in spite of overpowering proof that Yoga is "the mother of all health maintenance systems." Mainstream thought is finally making up ground, with the progress Yoga is making, but it has taken 5,000 years for us to get this far.

Seriously, how can Yoga allow you to lose Weight?

Finally, some of the "Yoga and Weight Loss" studies have come in, and even, a little bit of Yoga is much better, than none, for weight control, but there are a lot of explanations why. Yoga will change your lifestyle that includes a secure diet exercise, modifying posture, breathing, and a lot more. Most of the Yoga practitioners, I know, take in more water, eat more reasonably, and take more care of their bodies, in comparison to the many who don't want to depart from the couch.

Aren't you supposed to jump up and down for at least half an hour per day to exercise enough to lose weight naturally?

Maybe the public are "brain washed" in thinking that you have to feel the pain, suffer, starve, and also have a near death encounter, to lose weight. Depending upon your size, the average person, in a moderate Hatha yoga class, is burning in the neighborhood of 200 calories per hour. There are Vinyasa Yoga classes which will burn more calories, having a lot more flowing and lively movement. Just remember, that your safety is priority, and you'll be fine.

There are also Yoga lessons where you can feel the pain, heat, and suffer. This is great for people who want to "pay for their sins." Maybe this is considered "penance," for years of consuming excessive pizza, hamburgers, and buffets. If you feel you must suffer, you may even find a Yoga instructor who skipped his or her calling as an interrogator.

If you seek hard enough, you will find a Yoga class for every area of interest. More moderate Yoga courses seem simple on the exterior of the class, but I have noticed many people see them to be a difficult task, from within the class. The true advantage of constant Yoga practice is training for longevity. Long-term practice can yield optimum health benefits in mind, body, and spirit.

Couldn't you simply invent a Yoga pill?

It has been the ultimate dream of "couch potatoes," but every time a weight loss pill comes out, there's a down side. Just look on the health issues that resulted from fen phen and ephedra. This would wake people up, but someone will always put their life in danger, no matter how many caution labels are imprinted.

To sum up, the advantages of Yoga exercise have constantly been around, through constant and risk-free practice. Seek out a safe instructor and start from there. By no means push yourself to the stage of strain. Moderation is vital so it is wise to prevent opposites.
