<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">The
Beginning Students Guide to Yoga</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
by Carmela Cattuti, Kripalu Certified
Yoga Instructor, LPN</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
There are so many different types of
yoga to choose from that it is extremely confusing for the beginning
student to make an informed choice. An excellent place to start is to
ask yourself why you want to make yoga part of your life. Are you
primarily looking to reduce stress or build stamina, or do you want
to increase your muscle mass and become more balanced? As in life,
there are a myriad of paths in yoga.
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
If you are seeking stress relief, then
you need a restorative class with a emphasis on forward bends and
twists. This class generally uses props such as blankets, belts, and
blocks to sustain the postures and has a deep relaxation at the end.
If its strength building that you want then a class focusing on
standing poses would be effective. If you would like a practice that
increases heart-rate, then a vinyasa flow sequence would accomplish
this. There is an ideal class for everyone, every body-type, and
fitness level. It is never one size fits all.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
If you are older with health and joint
issues then chair yoga would be an appropriate choice. In urban areas
there is a proliferation of yoga teachers and studios. Some studios
offer a variety of specialized classes catering to different
populations with specific needs. Other studios focus on one style
like vinyasa and power yoga.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
There are also schools of yoga with
studios throughout the planet where only one form is taught. These
schools usually offer beginner, intermediate, and advanced classes in
their particular discipline and philosophy. BKS Iyengar is a
well-known yoga school and has teachers and studios throughout the
U.S. This form is based on strict alignment and is an excellent segue
into a yoga practice that is grounded and safe.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
It is important to make a distinction
between styles of yoga and yoga schools. Vinyasa and power yoga are
styles of yoga, meaning they tend to be trendy. These trends come and
go with what is popular in the moment. Yoga schools teach poses based
on a specific philosophy that is brought into the instruction of the
postures. It is always beneficial to try several styles and teachers
before making a decision on a practice. Your body will tell you what
class you need to meet your goals.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Once you commit to a class then your
journey begins. There are many challenges for the new practitioner
such as stiffness, aches, and weakness. These physical issues are
actually portals to vital information for the beginner. These
seemingly innocuous issues could develop into disease. It takes quite
a while for the body to develop chronic conditions, but with
awareness these possible health problems can be averted. For example,
if you notice discomfort in your hip each time you execute a certain
pose, then a trip to a chiropractor might be just the thing to
alleviate the problem.

If the beginner pays close attention
to the subtle messages conveyed by the body during practice then it
is a win win situation; the body heals and the practitioner benefits
from the healing with high energy combined with balance in body,
mind, and spirit.</div>

<span style="font-size: medium;">The
Role of the Abdominal Muscles in Yoga</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
by Carmela Cattuti, LPN, CYT</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The function of the abdominal muscles
in yoga has always been nebulous. Yoga teachers often refer to the
abdominal muscles as the “core.” Traditionally, the core refers
to the solar plexus (area above the navel and below the chest).
During the early infiltration of yoga into the west teachers rarely
referenced the abdominal muscles. As yoga practitioners and teachers,
it helps to have a working knowledge of these muscles physically and
energetically.
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The human body has three sets of
abdominal muscles: the rectus abdominis, the obliques, and the
transverse. The rectus abdominis is the outermost muscle and it runs
up and down the abdominal area. This is the muscle people generally
think of as the abdominal muscle. It supports our lower back when
practicing yoga. There are internal and external obliques. The
external obliques run downward from the rib cage to the pelvis; the
internal obliques are underneath the external from the pelvis to the
rib cage. These muscles are important in forward bends, side bends,
and twists. The transverse abdominal muscle is the innermost
abdominal muscle. It runs straight across the back and the abdomen
like a girdle. This muscle supports the organs and holds everything
in place. This is the muscle we want to contact while practicing
yoga. It is actually our core. It supports our structure and needs to
last a life time. These muscles need to be flexible and strong. The
abdominal muscles are a major player in yoga and in order to develop
a sustainable practice our abdominal muscles need to fully
participate.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
During the 1980s there was little talk
of the abdominal area when yogis practiced. It was either about
alignment or yoga was a transcendent spiritual practice with little
consideration of form. In the west, yoga was about the exterior and
how we moved our arms and legs and ascending through our crown.
Awareness of the abdominal muscles started to enter yogis' practice
during the mid 1990s. Practitioners began to move from the inside out
and to create shapes based on inner energy, allowing it to flow
outward. Moving from the inside out means a deep awareness of the
abdominal muscles so that we not only move safely in and out of
postures, but we also access our core energy. This focus brings us
closer to who we are and it is reflected in our practice, making our
postures an organic flow. If we do not move in this manner then our
solar plexus becomes congested and prevents us from accessing our
innate wisdom on how to move for our bodies.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The most significant advantage for
practitioners to develop a practice where the abdominals are major
players is the opening of the heart. The more awareness we have of
the abdominals the more the heart is supported and can blossom while
practicing. If we only focus on our limbs then our connection to our
heart is distant. Of course, we need to have balanced alignment while
in postures, but once we become familiar with our core and know how
to use it for our practice, then our heart can expand and we can hear
its wisdom. When we do this then our practice becomes organic and we
follow the heart, while accessing the power of the abdominal muscles.</div>
