The Ashtanga Yoga System, at its core, is a movement-based meditation. With a focus on mindful breathing, a balance is sought in joining the dualities of exertion and effortlessness. It is in this space that the mind is free to be fully present.
Physical alignment and proper muscular engagement are ‘correct’ in this practice when steadiness and lightness are simultaneously achieved in each progressing posture. When this occurs, the potential for heightened consciousness becomes possible.
Benefits of customized yoga coaching include:
Improved Strength & Stamina
Enhanced Recovery
Physical & Emotional Cleansing
Accelerated Metabolism
Increase Flexibility
Increased Mindfulness
Body Recomposition
“After following the program Adam specifically designed for me and my individual needs, I have finally been able to achieve my long-term yoga goal of Adho Mukha Vrksasana (handstand).”
Yoga has been around for centuries, but it has evolved over time. Today, yoga is all about poses that can help you relax and feel more energized. Previously, yoga was more about developing spiritual improvement.
There are several distinct types of yoga. A person's choice of style is influenced by their expectations and level of physical mobility. People with certain health problems, such as sciatica, should take yoga slowly and with care. Yoga can help people live a healthy, balanced life. I also offer yoga in Portland Maine.
Yoga postures are designed to enhance the connection between the body and the breath. Yoga classes can help to improve flexibility, strength, and balance as well as reduce stress levels.
Many researchers have focused on the health benefits of yoga exercises. Some potential health benefits include maintaining a moderate weight, quitting smoking, and improving menopause symptoms.
Don't shy away from yoga just because some of the poses look difficult. Many are actually perfect for beginners. Chances are, you can begin practicing yoga regardless of your current fitness level. The chances of somebody injuring themselves during a yoga session are slim if they have a reliable instructor. The instructor will watch their students form and teach them how to improve it.
Practicing yoga regularly can help people stay active and meet the recommendation of 150 minutes of exercise per week. This helps people live a healthy lifestyle and maintain their weight.
A study published recently suggests that yoga exercises may help with weight loss. The study looked at 50 adults who were obese and assigned them to either a Hatha (slower pace) or Vinyasa (faster pace) yoga group. After 6 months, both groups of individuals lost weight. It's likely that the calorie and fat-restricted diet played a role in their weight loss.
If you're looking to add yoga to your weight loss routine, this study suggests that it's best to choose the type and duration of yoga that suits you best.
According to several studies, yoga may improve brain function and boost energy levels. Research in 2017 found that Hatha yoga boosted executive functions as well as mood in individuals. Executive functions are cognitive processes concerned with goal-directed behavior and emotion management.
In 2012, research found that practicing yoga improved speed and accuracy of working memory in more than one session of aerobic exercise. However, the benefits only happened directly after the exercise was done and were short-lived. Other research has shown that yoga can help improve mental flexibility, task switching, and information recall among older adults.
