Hatha yoga teacher training

hatha yoga teacher training



If you need some extra income in 2009 and you are a hatha yoga fanatic like me, then consider going for a hatha yoga teacher training program. You learn more about yoga, get certified during the proces and end up earning money teaching others yoga poses in stead of doing it on your own.





I know you can take 200 hours hatha yoga teacher training courses in Thailand. But we all know since the Thai government is changing like we change our underwear, Thailand is not really an option. I know because I am still stationed in Bali this new year...





What's hatha yoga teacher training all about?





Yoga teacher training usually consists out of courses in between 200 and 500 hours to give the new teacher knowledge,



skills, and confidence:







  • about movements, breathing, sounds, concentration, meditation and prayer


  • to begin teaching hatha yoga safely, mindfully and profitably.





As you can see: it's a bit more than just learning how to teach a particular asana exercise or pose :-)





Amazingly but true, there even exist home study hatha yoga teacher training programs! But since part of the course is to have confidence interacting with yoga students, make sure you choose a course that has some way of interaction between teachers and students.





Why hatha yoga?





Of course you need to go for the yoga style your prefer: gaiam yoga, kripalu yoga, bikram yoga or namaste yoga...





It just happens that the first time I did yoga, I found out it was hatha yoga. Not surprisingly, as hatha yoga is one of the most common yoga styles taught in the USA.





How to know you enroll in a good hatha yoga teacher training?





As usual, do your homework :-) Google is a great place to find out what others have experienced in their yoga teacher certification.





Ask around whether the 3 topics listed above are part of the yoga teacher course you want to enroll in. Make sure you learn about how to manage your own yoga school if you don't want to be a yoga instructor like the one we have in our resorts.





How to fool the locals?





If you want to have some extra income fast, you could sign up for those weekend yoga training courses, but in the end you will be fooling yourself because bad karma attracts bad karma!





And don't fool yourself too much either: use good yoga mats or pilates mats. I started off using a thick carpet, but I do feel the difference since I am carrying my own real yoga mat with me :-)





Hatha yoga teacher training summarized





If you are into yoga and you love to teach, then consider following a hatha yoga teacher training course to earn some extra income in these gloomy economical days.





If you never did any yoga before, get youself a power yoga dvd. Or tune in on the Health Channel as they have a daily broadcast of namaste yoga (except for during the weekends, when working people do have the time to do some exercises in the morning...).

Afghan hot or not

Leave your comment: is this Afghan hot or not?



"Meet me at hot or not President Hamid Karzai in stead of denouncing I appeared “half naked” ..."



That's what S. B. must have been thinking when she wore a bikini at the Miss Earth beauty pageant in Manila in 2005...



Or is it that only President Hamid Karzai can use tax payers money in order to perform his daily personal fashion show: his clothes can be fashionable, but what is he doing for the clothes of all Afghan women that are not living in his vicinity?



And how does Hamid Karzai expect Afghan women earn some pocket money?



S. B. was the first Afghan woman to compete in an international beauty competition (Miss Earth, Manila, Philippines) in three years and sparked controversy in her native Islamic country.



Of course there is no controversy whatsoever when women in Afghanistan are not even allowed to go to school, let alone to get educated.



But goodness me when one Afghan woman get's spotted in a bikini...



Afghan hot or not? Very hot and they could show also to be very intelligent if only they were allowed to enroll themselves in schools.

She is an Indonesian supermodel but spent most of her modeling career in Singapore, where she met with Adam Yurman, USA photographers who specialized in taking photos of sexy models in nude pose. With Adam, Tiara made her international breakthrough in Thailand and Holland edition of Penthouse.

Hatha Yoga

hatha yoga


Which yoga style suits you best? For me it is hatha yoga because that's frankly the only yoga style I found with instructor :-)



Finding the right style of yoga practice can be as hard as finding the right handbag. Having said so, the way of finding your style of yoga is similar to finding your next new handbag: you need to look around, try and see.



I admit, it's easier to enter a shopping mall than to enter a yoga class. And especially after your first yoga sessions, you could think that maybe yoga isn't your thing. Why?




  • Because the yoga style is not your style or

  • because the yoga instructor is not your type.



Whatever the case: go and sign up for another yoga school to find out whether it's the yoga instructor or the yoga style that doesn't suit you! And you can always sign up for a hatha yoga teacher training yourself :-) For sure that's not something I am going to do ;-).



Which styles to choose from? The most popular yoga style taught is hatha. On the health channel you can have an idea what namaste yoga is all about.


Other styles are vinyasa yoga, bikram yoga, ashtanga yoga, iyengar yoga, kundalini yoga, Yin, kripalu yoga, integral yoga and viniyoga. With so many different yoga styles around surely there must be one that is written for you!



Hatha yoga definition



Hatha yoga is a traditional form of yoga which lies at the base of many modern yoga styles.



Hatha yoga is based on the union of body, mind and spirit and therefore includes the practice of :




  • physical postures called asanas

  • breathing exercises called pranayama and

  • meditation called dhyana.



I especially love the breathing exercises and meditation part, as during a normal working day in my Bali spa resort, I already encounter enough physical exercise ;-)



Other yoga styles in a nutshell




  • Ashtanga or power yoga as Madonna calls it, focuses on speed building strength and stamina.

  • Bikram is for experienced yogis with 26 postures performed in a heated room (or outside in tropical South East Asia)


  • Iyengar yoga focuses on alignment using props like straps, blocks and bolsters to hold poses longer. What I find the most appealing on this style of yoga is that you are encouraged to move at your own pace. Just that I don't feel much like carrying props around, I already find pilates mats to much to carry!


  • Vinyasa yoga is a style I don't understand quite well. It has to do with linking your breathing to your movements but every time I see a class of Vinyasa, it looks completely different.



The only way to truly know if a yoga style is for you is to try and see! The easiest way to start yoga is signing up for a hatha yoga class, as hatha yoga instructors are the most common.

Another Deepika Padukone bikini picture to invite you to start dating Indian girls.



Why dating Indian Girls?



deepika padukone long hair



Not only do Indian girls look stunning in swimsuits, admire long hair Deepika Padukone wearing typical Indian fashion. No wonder she is the new face of Maybelline as well...



But all Indian girls look stunning, especially the ones you will meet in Indian online dating services. Indians are naturally beautiful people, with their dark brown, even complexion and prominent and seductive eyes.



Long hair Deepika Padukone is just one example of what to expect of Indian girls: sexy, hot, strong and lots of personality.



You need to know that Indian culture is very diverse but does uphold family and matrimonial values. Like in all Asian cultures, "respect one other" is taught to Indians at a very young age.



This means an Indian girl you met while dating online will be polite and respectful to you and other people. She wont make a scene when in public, unless you utterly deserve it!



Never take anybody for granted, especially not when you are dating Indian girls. If you are not ready to take the challenge of dating Indian girls, then just stare at another Deepika Padukone swimsuit picture :-)

dress fell, exposing her left breast. Photographs of Reid having larger, perkier breasts than before had been circulating the Internet for several months before the incident, igniting rumors of Reid having undergone breast augmentation. Scar tissue was visible around Reid's nipple,
