Yoga Benefits
So this was my first yoga class. In the beginning I just though yoga is setting still, but after this class I know how yoga can make all and every muscle working. I took this class because my doctor asked me to do yoga after 2 bad car accidents so I can get the muscle in my back and my nick get stronger. As well as I need to have that time for me that I can relax and challenge myself, While that is my favorite thing to do.
To tell the truth Kat you are amazing yoga instructor. The only different I wish I can see is another class. I wish that you can talk to the dean and make it yoga I, II, III. I never enjoy anything like how I enjoy this class. If I will take yoga again I wish just more challenge class, but I understand that not everyone was still able to do down dog  that is why I would love yoga III.
I had so much benefits from the class, first one is I feel my muscle are working I do have a lot of muscles not and I can run more and do more pushups. Second thing I really relax in class even though not in the relaxing time because I have a monkey brine but during the exercises. Third I was so happy when we did the shkra test I kind of never knew that helping people and focusing all the time on the other people cud affect me that bad. Fourth I was really enjoy the time that I had for myself in the class. Yoga class was the only class that I really enjoy being in it and felt sad to miss3 classes in the semester. One more thing that I got out of this class is my legs are a lot stronger and that help me while I work for 12 hrs shift standing up
Kat you made me love yoga and I am planning to get a membership in GYM just for yoga classes or just get in hot yoga because I want try it out. Thanks so much for your time and Namaste!

    Bikram yoga was developed thirty years ago by Bikram Choudhury, a renowned Hatha Yoga Master. It is a specific yoga practice that is carried out in 105˚ F at 40% humidity for 90 minutes. Some studies and practitioners have suggested that Bikram yoga practice has positive impacts on physical health as well as decreasing stress and anxiety. There were certain inclusion criteria for participation in this study. Age was not an exclusion and participants ranged in age from 18 to over 60 years of age. This study sought to interview active students of Bikram yoga who have been practicing consistently for at least the last eight weeks, at a minimum of three times per week. Students meeting the requirements at the Bikram yoga studios in San Antonio were invited to complete the survey instrument from November 16 through November 26, 2011. Seventy-five students responded to the survey. The results indicated that there are significant positive results from regularly practicing Bikram yoga. Since Bikram yoga encourages students to hold poses in a “hot” room it increases heart rate and acts as a cardiovascular exercise without the high impact normally associated with cardio exercises. The results of the survey instrument yielded over 50% of respondents reporting an answer of “somewhat better” for all of the questions, indicating that most respondents see a benefit in their practice. Additionally, stress and anxiety decreased with over 80% of respondents reporting somewhat to much less anxious and stressed. Improvements to physical fitness were observed with over 90% reporting improved…

    Slowly as time passed, and I took the classes, I began to notice changes in my body and stamina. The classes are broken into two, one hour segments, Extreme Fitness and Krav Maga. In Extreme Fitness, the instructors run us through exercises using our own body weight, kettle bells, cardio and combatives on a heavy bag. I could hit the bag harder, do more pushups, and the cardio did not wind me like it used to. I saw changes in how much energy I had, waking up and not being tired and having more energy through the day. I saw a change in how my clothes fit me, my pants hanging looser on me, so much so that I had to buy a smaller belt so they would not fall down.…

    Originated in ancient India, Yoga typically means 'union ' between the mind, body and spirit. It involves the practice of physical postures and poses. As the name suggests, the ultimate aim of practicing Yoga is to create a balance between the body and the mind and to attain self-enlightenment. In order to accomplish it, Yoga makes use of different movements, breathing exercises, relaxation technique and meditation. Yoga is associated with a healthy and lively lifestyle with a balanced approach to life. It increases the lubrication of joints, ligaments and tendons of the body. Studies in the field of medicine suggest that Yoga is the only form of physical activity that provides complete exercise to the body, because it massages all the internal organs and glands. This in turn reduces the risk of many diseases. Yoga can create a positive permanent difference to the lifestyle of anybody practicing it on a regular basis (Weil, n.d.).…

    I have considered attending a yoga class many times in the past. When given the chance to research the affects of yoga, I decided to engage in the act or art to see the effects first hand. As a child I remember experimenting on the yoga mat with my father, a devoted yoga enthusiast. So this is something I have desired to do for many years. One Christmas or birthday, I cannot recall which my father’s present to me was “YOGA for Beginners” with Patricia Walden, GAIAM – Mind, Body, Health video and instruction booklet By Michael Gliksohn. After searching for a minute I found it at the very bottom of the DVD stand. I really do not know why I never…
