Yoga is one of the many forms of exercises that have influenced millions of people around the world. Unlike yoga classes it is also time efficient for all of us. This is because you can practice yoga anytime you like unlike from classes, which has a definite schedule.
It is also much convenient because they are always ready whenever you are. In these said videos we could also practice with renowned teachers in yoga and we can feel its thrill to practice with them.
One of the best power yoga instructors is Bryan Kest. But even if his studio is in California and even if we live in far places we could still practice with him by using his videos.
We could also choose which practice we should do and base it in what we need at a specific time.
It might focus on stress reduction, one that helps our upper body, or one that helps build our core.
It might also focus on what suits our physical situation such as pregnancy yoga or yoga for seniors.
And lastly in this practice of yoga videos we could modify the postures according to our physical conditions. For example if we have an injured foot and we can?t put any pressure on the front of it we should modify a number of poses such as the Plank Pose ( in where we need to put our knees down so we wont bear our entire weight of our body on our forefoot only).
Sometimes it takes a lot of extra movements to get into our desired positions because of our injuries especially if we are on a regular class with other persons. Moreover, Yoga videos offer variety and assortment. One can easily get bored doing the same practice over and over again for how may sessions.
The interest and enthusiasm is lost when there is a lack of diversity and mixture. With these Yoga videos, one can choose and pick from a variety of videos that would perfectly fit one?s mood or condition. After all, Yoga is a form of relaxation and mediation, and not an irritating activity or past time.
With these videos, one can enjoy his or her own favorite posture or physical exercise. And you can play them or practice them as long as you like without restrictions and delays.
You get to choose when and where you want to do it. Aside from that, you get to enjoy and feel like you really are relaxing and you, feeling the essence of Yoga. Some say it?s like being in heaven ahead of time.
As a result, you will find comfort and enthusiasm that really has to be felt during Yoga activities. Aside from that, getting and preferring these Yoga videos save time and effort.
Some people may not really have enough time and have hectic schedules so this videos are just a few steps away from you plus, it is very convenient to carry almost anywhere without ease. Moreover, going to a Yoga class adds up to a few hours to go there and getting there on time is quite difficult.
Finding a parking space, registering and getting space in class is also troublesome. Sometimes, you end up wasting your time and effort being there without much satisfaction at all.

The Truth about Options for Yoga Teachers, Part 3
Power Yoga: Many things come to mind when we hear the words ?Power Yoga,? but the roots of Power Yoga are usually related to Ashtanga Yoga. This is not always the case, but more often, than not, Power Yoga is an offshoot of Ashtanga Yoga.
Thinking about Power Yoga may conjure up vivid images of Yoga teachers like Beryl Bender Birch, Bryan Kest, or Baron Baptiste. This is a vigorous form of Ashtanga Yoga with a Western ?twist.? Classes are usually filled with younger adult Yoga students and active athletes.
These are not classes for Yoga students with ailments, or for beginners who just ?jumped off the couch.? Power Yoga is a fantastic system of Yoga exercises, but if you are going to teach any form of Power Yoga classes, you have to be completely honest with prospective students. The physical challenge of a Power Yoga class is not for everyone who wants to learn a form of Hatha Yoga.
For example: A middle-aged, inactive, beginner Yoga student, should be guided to a gentle Yoga style, if he or she wants to pursue the study of Hatha Yoga. This student will learn the basics, safety guidelines, and contraindications that apply to his or her body. After a few months of regular practice, this Yoga student will see the path of infinite possibilities open, and then make an educated choice from what he or she has learned.
The injury of a student, due to the desire for a Yoga teacher?s desire to ?fill up classes,? is morally and ethically wrong. Complete honesty with students is not often taught when we are trained to become a Yoga teacher. Yoga teachers are often trained to be gentle guides along the path toward total health.
Being completely blunt about a prospective Yoga student?s limitations - might be bad for business. However, whenever a student is injured, the Yoga instructor will often feel remorse, even if the situation was completely unforeseen. The above-mentioned scenario, of an unfit student going into a vigorous Yoga class, can easily be seen. If you do not have a questionnaire for new Yoga students, you should design one now, even if you have never had a single problem.
This is not meant to ?steer you away? from teaching Power Yoga classes or to prevent you from learning to become a Power Yoga instructor. Power Yoga classes are very rewarding to participate in and to teach.
When considering the needs of new Yoga students, always be diplomatic, and guide potential Yoga students toward their best choice. Unfortunately, this sometimes means we must guide them to the Yoga teacher down the street.
