My Yoga Teachers and
some of my friends at the YMCA
My
Yoga Teachers
What we say at the end of class is: "
Namaste" which means:
"I honor the place in you where the
universe dwells. I honor the place in you where there is
light, love, peace and truth. When you are in that place in
you and I am in that place in me, we are One." Om Shanti.
Shanti means peace.
My Dr. Phillips YMCA yoga teachers
are all unique and trained from many different yoga schools and
styles. They all teach one or more group classes at my
local Dr. Phillips YMCA in South West Orlando in Orange County
Florida. I am very blessed to have them, and I cherish my
time with them each and every day of the week. My yoga
teachers collective areas of training make my weekly yoga
workout a total and complete mental, physical and spiritual
training experience that fills the rest of my day with peace,
love and joy. Did you know that Far East yoga
masters are usually men

All of my teachers give me an
exhausting yet exhilarating total body workout that leaves me dripping
sweat and shedding lots of water weight. (about 4 pounds on a
double workout day) The best part of the whole routine is the
cooling down period of about 10 minutes.
Yoga teaches me that the
breath is very important because it enriches the blood with oxygen.
As Kim says, "In with the good and out with the bad."
Breathing and yoga also helps the lymphoid system to flush out toxins.
Posture is also very important. Yoga teaches the mind and body
to become consciously aware of poor posture. The more you
practice yoga, the more you notice poor posture because your mind and
body are learning to work subconsciously in harmony to breath
correctly, and to sit, stand and walk tall and erect. If you
have ever taken a yoga class and did not like it, it might have been
the teaching technique. All teachers are unique and have
different teaching styles. I suggest trying it for at least 10
times, hopefully over a 1 to 2 week period. A new habit takes
about 90 days to establish, so if you like it do it for 90 days to
make it a part of your daily exercise routine. I started my
first yoga class around March of 2008 at my local Dr. Phillips YMCA.
I was partially crippled in my right leg from a herniated lower back
disc that caused drop foot and extreme leg and foot pain. I had
to use a cane to walk. The first few days of yoga made me
extremely sore from using lazy muscles that had become weak and very
tight. They were not use to good posture, flexibility and
strength conditioning. A year later I can walk for 45 minutes
without difficulty. I have lost 45 pounds and my skin does not
look lose because I took the weight off the natural way over the
course of a year. I
will be posting pictures and info about my yoga teachers and
friends to this web site, and I hope to make it inner active so
that it will be like a "My Space or Face Book" blog that allows
members to invite friends to join the blogs. I have been
working on web sites now for 10 years and currently own 22 World
Wide Web sites. Most of them are for either my commercial
real estate business or my Alternative Energy dreams of creating
an electric generators and vehicles that are powered by wind,
solar and moon power. I also have 40 years as a sound and
lighting engineer and 30 years as a audio recording engineer.
I am now learning how to convert old analog movie tapes (VHS,
BETA, Camcorder, etc) into digital media that I can edit and
upload onto UTube videos and DVD's. I already convert
analog tape recordings into digital CD's and computer files that
can be enjoyed on CD, IPOD and computer players. My son is
following in my wife's footsteps, he is a gifted musician who
can play almost any stringed instrument and he rocks on
synthesizers, keys and drums and blows me away in all of the new
age high tech recording mediums. Like his mother, he
writes and scores his own original music tracks, and he teaches
music lessons. He has been educated at Stetson and
Berkley. His name is Nathan which mean
"Gift from God", and he knows some very talented film makers and
producers who I hope to become friends with so that I can make
my UTube dream a reality. Hey, it's another business plug,
somebody has to pay for this web site... :)
