There are many reasons to practice yoga, which include health issues, weight loss, stress relief, flexibility and spiritual pursuit. You can start from wherever you are right now no matter what your goal. With the increasing popularity of yoga, you can find variety of materials such as books, magazines, videos, TV shows to learn from. However, yoga is best practiced under the guidance of a good trainer or teacher.
Trainer knows the technical aspects
Exercise physiology emphasizes on the fact that body adapts to any form of exercise regime in two weeks. If you continue to practice the same routine, body hits a plateau and no further results can be achieved. Exercise physiology also emphasizes on progressive load mechanism where you are required to increase or vary load on your muscles in order to achieve weight loss, toning or fitness. There is a method to understand how the muscles and joints respond to the load and how far your body needs to be pushed or stretched to optimize benefits from yoga or an exercise routine. Each person’s motor and co-ordination skills vary and play an important in training. There are many aspects to fitness which include flexibility, strength, endurance, balance and agility. A good trainer understands your strength and weakness in terms of these aspects. For example, a person may have a flexible body but may lack in core strength. Or a person may have excellent endurance or cardiovascular fitness due to running or playing sports but may lack completely in flexibility. A trainer understands this and will help you achieve all round fitness. Correct breathing is also an important aspect of yoga which helps enhance the benefits of a posture.
My trainers assess your goals, understand your limitations, health issues, life style and then recommend a program accordingly. They understand the anatomy and physiology of the human body well. They are trained to utilize the techniques of yoga along with the understanding of physiology to yield maximum benefits to yoga practitioners. A healthy and fit body is essential to pursue higher aspects of yoga.
Psychology of a practitioner
A good yoga teacher not only has extensive knowledge about the body but also has a good EQ (emotional quotient). My trainers have the ability to understand your motivation levels, attitude and approach to yoga. While some people are driven with positive motivation such as a smile or word of appreciation, others are driven by negative motivation or challenges. Every practitioner goes through ups and downs in his or her motivation levels based on life situations, tiredness, mood swings etc. This may also lead the practitioner to lose sight of his goals. The trainer plays a huge role in moderating the class as per the temperament and energy levels of the practitioners. This keeps the practitioner interested in class no matter what his life situation is. Most people feel good after attending a yoga class and forget all about their worries of the day. The energy levels of the trainer end up inspiring practitioners to push beyond their limitations and achieve more than they aspired for in the beginning.
A certain amount of work or change has to happen at the mental and emotional level to achieve your goal. My teachers will encourage you to explore the depths of your mind and understand the factors that get in the way of your health, happiness and well-being. Breathing techniques and meditation help in exploring the subtler aspects of your being and bring a feeling of emotional balance and stability.
Right environment is essential
My teachers provide the practitioners with the right environment in class which include quality of training, methodology of teaching, strategy, knowledge and assistance. Teacher understands the dynamics of the class in terms of the level of practitioners, age group, common goals or concerns, enthusiasm, energy level of the group etc. A class can be filled with beginners, mid-level practitioners, advanced practitioners or a mix of the three. In such a case the teacher ensures that he assists the beginners while he makes it challenging enough for mid-level and advanced practitioners. My teachers also give relevant information during and at the end of class which can help practitioners improvise on their postures, nutrition, sleep and various aspects of well-being. Peer pressure among practitioners is also addressed by the teachers as it can prove to be counterproductive. For my teachers, yoga is a lifestyle which extends to 24 hours a day.
