I know this probably isn't the place on the forum to put a question like this, but I couldn't see anywhere else to put it..... So.....

I have been asked to write an article on Elvis and yoga. My goal is to discover if he did yoga, or any other spiritual practice, meditation, etc. etc. I have found a few things on the Internet but if there are any Elvis/yoga fans on here, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

My understanding of yoga postures during pregnancy is somewhat limited apart from the obvious, closed twists and lying on the belly are obviously a no-no. So I wondered if any of you would be kind enough to give me some guidelines on what these students can or can't do. One student has been practicing for a few years and another just a few months.

I was wondering...What credentials does one need to be a yoga teacher trainer. I was recently asked to take part in a group effort TT, the main guru has been doing this from a while, he is a really cool cat from India. I am certified in Classical Sivananda style, but have veered off in many directions since then, am teaching now close to 8 yrs.

I starting teaching a new group for 10 weeks last week and had a question.

The class is a Restorative Class and I have limited props. Chairs, bands, and sometimes I have people bring their own blankets and pillows during the session. This session I have a young girl (20+) with a knee issue (healing ACL), and others with back issues, hip issues, etc.

Can anyone shed light on their approach to Restorative Yoga and whether or not to do Sun... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (ManitobaYogi) http://movingintostillness.yuku.com/topic/7197 Sun, 27 Sep 2009 13:25:56 GMT <![CDATA[ Teenager with Cerebal Palsy ]]> http://movingintostillness.yuku.com/topic/7193/t/Teenager-with-Cerebal-Palsy.html
Hello everyone:

I am teaching a Mother & Daughter Partner Yoga (Partner) for 10 weeks and it's fun. As part of the 1st class, I also pre-screen all the pairs to find out their Yoga experience, goals and or injuries.

Well, one Mother came up to me after class and told me about her 14+ daughter with cerebral palsy. I was wondering why she could not straighten her legs and seemed akward with her body. The mother explained the surgeries she had included:... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (ManitobaYogi) http://movingintostillness.yuku.com/topic/7193 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 20:14:16 GMT <![CDATA[ fumbling my words ]]> http://movingintostillness.yuku.com/topic/7189/t/fumbling-my-words.html
I have just started a teacher training working alongside my yoga teacher in Greece. On my first day I found I was very intuitive as to how to adjust some of the students and she gave me the go ahead to do so. I was pleased (and maybe surprised) that I responded so well. But then she asked me to do Tree pose. Not to show them, but to verbally cue the students. I completely fumbled my words.

What's your opinion?

1. Why do some students feel nausea during/after backbends?
2. Why do some students feel dizzy taking the head back in backbends? (for student who don't have vertigo, Meniere's, etc.)

Thanks!!

I have a client for a few private classes
She has adult onset spinal muscular atrophy(SMA type 4) her legs are quite wasted but she can still walk and climb stairs.
She has difficulty moving her legs and keeping her legs,pelvis and back in line.
Standing asana is therefore very difficult.

I've read some on the connection. Obviously the breath and focus is helpful when riding but I am wondering if there are any specific poses or practice that one can do to improve their riding skills.
Any input is much appreciated!

I have an opportunity coming up to teach young adults (not sure of age yet) Yoga. They are swimmers who are interested in learning. I have asked their coach questions regarding age, experience, what they are presently doing, what his goals are, what the group would like to do - which will help me design their classes.

We might be together for 4 or 5 classes or more.

Any thoughts or suggestions re teaching to this group of swimmers?

Question? Does anyone have "routines" they do before they teach? I started washing my feet before class (on my feet a lot and sweat) and found it really helped me to feel a disconnection from my day job. Can't explain it.
But when I was my feet and go teach Yoga, it feels good.

I also look at where people are folding, and if it's happening somewhere in their lower back I offer them folded blankets to prop up their hips to make them move more at the pelvis.
