- What Is Hatha Yoga?
By: Adriana Noton | - Yoga is an age old practice that concentrates on a person's mental, physical, and spiritual health. The wonderful feature about yoga is that the practice is always changing and evolving so the routine never becomes mundane and monotonous. Within the practice of yoga, there are a number of different styles. One such style is Hatha Yoga.
Introduced by a 15th century yogic sage from India by the name of Yogi Swatmarama, Hatha Yoga is a style of yoga that emphasizes the health of the ...

- Yoga, Natural Healing, And Daily Treasures
By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - We might hear: Hatha Yoga can be applied toward healing, without a mat or a visit to the local ashram, but how can this be? What daily treasures are we missing out on, and how can Yoga be applied toward healing outside of our practice time?
The time we spend practicing Yoga is "practice time for life." We should enjoy every minute of it. Too many people do not take the time to enjoy what they are doing, when they are doing it. This is why the benefits of Yoga take a little time be ...

- The Hatha Yoga Pradipika For Holistic Health
By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - There are a number of classical texts that Yoga teachers should become familiar with. Among them are the Gheranda Samhita, Shiva Samhita, and the Hatha Yoga Pradipika. It is believed that the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, written by Swami Svatmarama, is the oldest of these three texts.
There are a number of techniques that are covered within the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, such as - Asanas, Bandhas, Pranayama, Mudras, Dietary Suggestions, Shatkarmas, and more. What we realize, when reviewing th ...

- Yoga Off The Mat - About Perceived Limitations
By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - It is amazing what a Yoga session can do for personal growth. I am not referring to the physical body, as much as the mindset of the average Yoga practitioner. It is agreed that Hatha Yoga is a great form of physical maintenance, but let's look at the changes that take place within the mind.
Have you ever met someone who is quick to accept impending doom as the eventual outcome in all matters of life? There is always someone in the crowd who will tell you how your idea will never ...

- Hatha Yoga, Personal Growth, And The Environment
By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - Among the members of many noble causes, you will find Yogis and Yoginis. Causes such as: Charities for curing diseases, world peace, and saving the natural environment are filled with Hatha Yoga practitioners. While it is true that these people are performing Karma Yoga, what is it that draws them toward giving to others?
The core of all Yoga philosophy agrees with the values of the environmental conservation. There is a logical reason for this. Living, eating, consuming, and recy ...

- Hatha Yoga For Training The Mind
By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - We often see pictures of Hatha Yoga practitioners performing physical feats, but we cannot see pictures of a trained mind. There is a Chinese proverb, which states, "A picture's meaning can express ten thousand words." It seems to have been loosely translated into English as: "A picture is worth a thousand words."
Nevertheless, we are moved by pictures and movies that stimulate thoughts with incredible feats, action, and special effects. Meanwhile, training the mind through medita ...

- Making Hatha Yoga A Daily Habit
By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - How, and why, should Hatha Yoga become a daily habit? If we want to succeed in life, the habits we create will contribute to our personal development. We could let habits go their merry way and become addicted to drugs, alcohol, gambling, and many more self-destructive paths.
However, each of us has the power to create positive habits. Creating a positive habit takes some self-discipline, but a steady journey forward is the reward. What sort of rewards can anyone expect to receive ...

- Hatha Yoga And The Vision To Become Inspired
By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - Can Hatha Yoga create inspiration? How often have you wondered, "Why don't I just quit?" Yet, you continue to practice, study, and live life. We have no choice but to continue - whether we practice Yoga, or not. Life is a journey, and we might as well become inspired with every step.
How can Yoga and inspiration become two of your most valuable assets? The power you can develop, by practicing Yoga and developing inspiration, is unlimited. Inspiration is pure direction. If you meet ...

- Hatha Yoga In Practice - Is Shirshasana (headstand) Dangerous?
By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - On March 22, 2001, the New England Journal of Medicine published a study about the connection between specific Yoga postures (asanas) and a particular type of stroke called, "arterial dissection." It seems that sudden neck movements, or any Yoga posture that places extreme pressure on your neck, can put you at risk.
Am I trying to scare you about the dangers involved in practicing a posture, such as: Shirshasana? No, but you should be aware of the potential for injuries in any pos ...

- Teaching Hatha Yoga - Contraindications For Inversions
By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - What is an inverted posture, or an inversion, in a Hatha Yoga class? Technically, any posture (asana), in which the head is below the heart, is an inversion. Whether you stand on your head, bend forward, or bend back, if the head is below the heart, you are performing an inversion.
This also means that Downward Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana) and Fish (Matsyasana) are also inversions - although both postures are mild in comparison to Head Stand (Sirsasana). If you bend back far enough ...

- Teaching Hatha Yoga Contraindications For Standing Asanas
By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - There seems to be no single text that lists the contraindications for each Yoga technique; the reason being - the monumental task of listing, categorizing, and matching up each technique, with a corresponding contraindication, would be a feat that would take years to complete. Therefore, let's look at techniques, in groups, and match them to corresponding advice.
Standing Postures seem easy enough for most of us, but can still be quite challenging for your legs, regardless of age ...

- Teaching Hatha Yoga During Any Economy
By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - How has Yoga kept surviving for thousands of years? Yoga has survived gluttony and poverty. Some people question everything they do, when an economy turns tough. Yet, people will still pursue their vices in the worst of times.
It is no secret that many people do not practice preventative health, whether the economy is good or bad. Yet, it is clear to see that people will spend discretionary income on bad habits, even when money is scarce. Why? The public has a difficult time compr ...

- How Does Hatha Yoga Heal Us?
By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - One of the most common questions Yoga teachers answer is about the healing aspects of regular practice. As we become more aware of our health, we would like to capture wellness and hold onto it for as long as possible. This is not only an indication of self-awareness, but also a sign of intelligence.
Unfortunately, some of us will abuse our bodies in one way or another, but Hatha Yoga gives us a path toward the best possible health. The asanas (yoga postures) create movements, whi ...

- Hatha Yoga - A Haven From The Recession
By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - Can Hatha Yoga give you recession relief? That seems to be the general feeling, among students this winter, as Hatha Yoga classes have not slowed down. The more you listen to the news, the worse you might feel. Yet, you can visit a local Yoga school, center, or studio, for some rest and relaxation.
Even if someone is on a tight budget, Yoga classes are affordable, in comparison to any other form of stress relief. There is a sense of community within classes. In the past, people ha ...

- Yoga Posture Inversions And Stroke Risks
By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - Inversions, such as headstand (Sirsasana) and shoulder stand (Sarvangasana), are often considered "royal" poses by Hatha Yoga practitioners. Some students and teachers consider inversions to be of the utmost importance in their personal Hatha Yoga practice.
While there are many benefits from inversions, students with pre-existing medical conditions, are put at risk unnecessarily. When we have no health problems, it is easy to put issues of risk and contraindications aside, but Yog ...

- Teaching Hatha Yoga - How To Teach Students About Non-judgment
By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - Recently, I received an enlightening phone call from a website visitor who had a few suggestions about changing my appearance. It seems we cannot all live up to our own expectations, or those expectations that are imposed upon us. The following is part of a conversation about Yoga, Santosha, and judging others.
Q: Why do you dress in western sports casual clothing? You do not look like an authentic Yogi. Orange or white robes would be more appropriate for a "true Yoga teacher." Yo ...

- Weight Loss Yoga - The Hidden Secret
By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - The general concept of Hatha Yoga is a mind and body exercise, but that barely skims the surface as to what Hatha, or any other form of Yoga, is. Now we hear of Yoga for ripped abs, growing taller, stress relief, back pain, and raising children. Is it all a marketing ploy, or can it do all of these things?
Truthfully, ripped abs will require more than Yoga, but you can reduce and manage your weight. If you have tried losing weight before, you know about false promises. You know th ...

- How Important Is Physical Assisting In A Hatha Yoga Class?
By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - Opinions about the importance of physically assisting students, during Yoga posture (asana) practice, vary. Some styles, such as Iyengar, Restorative, Anusara, and Viniyoga, place much emphasis on proper alignment, props, and physical assisting. Most Yoga teacher training programs focus on physical assists, which guide a student toward proper alignment.
Yet, many students attend classes where a teacher may not look at them for the entire class. Needless to say, there are no physic ...

By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - Have you ever wanted to stimulate your competition-minded students, but, at the same time, were concerned about safety precautions? Here is an example of a way to design lesson plans for new Yoga students with limited range of motion, but who thirst for a challenge.
Q: Recently, I started teaching another Yoga class. The students are regular 'gym people'. These Yoga students are quite strong, but not so flexible. So I'm trying to structure the class to focus more on improving flex ...

- Hatha Yoga - Preventing Anxiety In Trying Times
By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - How can Yoga help you overcome anxiety in the worst of times? For some people, life is a good dream; for others, it is a daily nightmare, and for the vast majority of us, it depends on the circumstances. No matter which category we fall into, each of us has to perform daily maintenance on our mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health.
Your daily Yoga practice is part of a larger system designed to prevent anxiety, panic attacks, stress, and depression. If you suddenly feel ...

- Yoga For Happiness - A Formula For Success
By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - Hatha Yoga teachers often teach their students about stress management techniques. Yet, how many teach their students how to be happy, successful, and how to apply these principles, in daily life, outside the Yoga class?
This is why we mention the word "practice" in a classroom setting - Your life outside the class, in work, commuting, in traffic, and at home, is "real life." It is easy for me to teach you how to relax, in a Yoga session, but how will you react when you open the m ...

By: Sotiris Bassakaropoulos | - Hatha Yoga is a particular system of yoga, introduced in the 15th century in India.

By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - There are many forms of Yoga. Among the nine main styles, Hatha is the most commonly practiced, outside of India. Some may think of Hatha as a physical exercise, a gateway to physical mastery, or consider it to be a form of Yoga for back pain. Regardless of the reason for practicing, Hatha Yoga is often practiced by those who feel stressed.
The concept of Hatha Yoga, for stress, is nothing new. People who live in urban areas, often experience higher levels of stress and anxiety, i ...

- Teaching Hatha Yoga - The Relationship Of Student And Teacher
By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - Traditionally, students of Yoga sought out a particular guru. They may have been referred to this specific guru by his, or her, loyal students, or knew of the teacher's skills by reputation.
At that point, a guru would make a decision on whether or not to take in another student on a trial basis. The trial may have consisted of doing work around the ashram before being recognized as a formal student.
This is the way the Yoga teacher / student relationship operated f ...

- How Hatha Yoga Can Help Anger Management
By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - The idea of practicing Yoga, as an adjunct to anger management therapy, has promise, but it also has disbelievers. Those who would prefer to stay as they are have "short changed" their chances at achieving success through any form of therapy. If we do not believe in a form of treatment, there is not much chance of success.
In standard therapeutic forms of anger management therapy, a patient sees a professional mental health counselor. This decision, to seek counseling, could be vo ...

By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - 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.
If you speak to the average participant, most of them would consider the chance of injury, during Yoga class, unthinkable. They have heard of injuries in high-impact classes, but Yoga falls into the low-impact category. Yoga is consi ...

- Karma Yoga For Complete Happiness
By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - Karma Yoga is often overlooked by all of us. In most Hatha Yoga teacher training programs, we tend to highlight it, but move on toward the concepts of physical mastery. Yet, physical mastery alone does not deliver complete happiness. In fact, happiness occurs when our Yoga practice becomes part of our life off the mat.
We know that Karma Yoga is mentioned within the Bhagavad-Gita and the Ishavasya Upanishad, but many students outside of India are barely familiar with it. If you as ...

By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - Yoga teachers infinitely differ in their approaches to student advancement. Some teachers will see a physical achievement as the "end goal." Yet, we know that Yoga has many more aspects for advancement. Among these many aspects are: emotional, mental, and spiritual growth.
Yoga teachers might also consider the value of good character in their students. In your community, each of your students represents your studio or ashram. Many people are not familiar with Yoga, so your student ...

On the physical level, the practice of Hatha Yoga can help a student develop strength, balance, flexibility, and cardio vascular endurance. In comparison to other forms of exercise, Hatha Yoga encompasses all of their physical benefits and more.

By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - With all the endorsements Hatha Yoga gets, you would think that new students might know the benefits of the practice. In fact, some surveys indicate that the majority of adults have never attended a Yoga class, in their lives. With that said, most teachers should have a prepared handout for new students, who arrive, and do not know what to expect in the different classes offered.
Usually, new students have no idea about the differences, features, and benefits, which can be gained ...

By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - Tranquility of mind is one of the main objectives within all forms of Yoga practice. It is amazing how many Yoga students, from physically challenging forms of Yoga, have not yet learned this. To practice Hatha Yoga as an exercise is a "small piece of the pie."
Exercise is a wonderful thing, and it can help us purge negative thoughts. Yoga helps us attain our best emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical state. No exercise alone can help us attain optimum holistic health in this ...

By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - Once in a while, someone will make the connection about the historical roots of Hatha Yoga and Hinduism. Statements have been made that Yoga and Hinduism are one in the same. In truth, many ashrams do cover Hindu scripture, but that is a real rarity within a Western style Yoga studio. Also, be aware that Christian ashrams also exist, so not all ashrams are the same.
To "push the envelope" further, some religious fundamentalists will say that Yoga is the "advanced scouting party" f ...

By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - What is Karma Yoga and what is a Karma Yogi? The word Karma can be defined as action, work, or service. Karma Yoga is often referred to as selfless service or unselfish action. This is work that you do, without any consideration of a reward. Many times, we may consider a religious leader to fit this description.
However, people who seek change for justice, and the common good, are not always religious leaders. Some may have been considered revolutionaries in their time, politician ...

By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - Pranayama is possibly the most overlooked aspect of Hatha Yoga. Every Yoga teacher training course includes a significant segment about Pranayama.
Although B.K.S. Iyengar wrote detailed works on the subject, some Hatha Yoga teachers barely scratch the surface on the subject of cultivating vital energy through breathing. Why is this happening in Yoga classes?
Proper breathing is most likely the most important physical aspect of Hatha Yoga training. Yes, proper breath ...

This is fine, but be prepared for a "learning curve" and do not expect to learn all about Yoga in one Yoga teacher training intensive course. Even if you "lock yourself up" in an ashram for months, you should realize that learning Yoga is a life-long journey and not a race.

- Introducing Hatha Yoga
By: Ann Marier | - Hatha yoga is an ancient hindu system of working with the human nervous system. Because it releases tension and endows one with renewed energy, far too many 20th century people, yoga teachers included, have come to look upon the venerable Indian physical science as solely an exercise for health and vitality of mind and body. It is that, but it is also much more. Hatha yoga practices are more spiritual than physical, more subtle than gross, more a means of understanding than an exotic way to reli ...
