Yoga for Busy People and Busy Days
Yoga for Busy People and Busy Days, 20 classes of 30-35 minutes. Strengthen, Stretch, Breathe and Relax – a little faster than usual.
Course Description
This course contains 20 yoga classes, each between 30-35 minutes in length, designed specifically for those days when there just isn’t enough time for a full length practice.
A shorter practice sequence is not necessarily any less effective than a full length one, especially if time constraints prevent one from practicing at all. All class sequences are designed with a simple principle in mind – that is to guide guiding the student forward and encouraging a safe, regular practice.
Yoga is practice. A lifestyle rather than a fad. Who you are determines your method of practice, and in time, your practice has the power to determine who you can be. While the physical practice of Yoga asana is just the tip of the iceberg, for most people it is the most accessible way to prepare the body and mind for the other, deeper aspects of Yoga. That being said, students are encouraged to practice regularly, maybe even repeat each class before proceeding to the next. While the suggested frequency of practice is 4 times a week for maximum benefit, a minimum of two classes a week is recommended.
However, the intensity of practice is entirely dependent upon the the practitioner. The asana are healing for body and mind only if the principle of non-violence towards one’s self is adhered to. Never force the body to stretch to the point of strain, keep the breath calm and come out of a posture if tired. Use props such as the wall, yoga blocks and belts .
All classes are devoid of any background music helping to create a silent focus on the breath and the postures.
