<\/a>The beauty of Yoga is that it can change as you do.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nI have been practicing and teaching Yoga for 20 years. My experience led me to prefer teaching Yoga privately and on a one-on-one basis. These are just 4 reasons why!<\/p>\n
\n- Yoga is in it\u2019s nature\u00a0<\/span>not a group activity<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>but traditionally it was primarily taught and learned in a one-on-one student-teacher relationships\u2013 and\u00a0<\/span>practiced alone<\/span>!<\/li>\n
- An individualized Yoga\u00a0program\u00a0<\/span>can be developed \/practiced<\/li>\n
- A\u00a0<\/span>better quality<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>of Yoga teaching is provided<\/li>\n
- The Private Yoga Training format and policy\u00a0<\/span>encourages regularity and consistency<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/h3>\nMy approach to Yoga as teacher<\/span><\/h3>\nI advice a regular and long-term practice of Yoga for the best benefits and also the greatest fun.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n![\"leo2587_1\"](\"https:\/\/www.ayurveda-healing.at\/data\/2012\/05\/leo2587_1-383x300.jpg\")
<\/a><\/span><\/p>\nYoga is an ongoing journey, with no particular end point.\u00a0 It grows with you and changes within the course of your life.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\nAs teacher, I can guide the student through the different Yoga asanas and styles so he or she can slowly learn the full range of Yoga. With the growing knowledge and practice of Yoga, a student can form his or her own regular self-practice and learns how to adept and adjust the Yoga practice to his or her daily needs.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There are many ways to practice Yoga<\/span><\/h3>\n![\"leo2858\"](\"https:\/\/www.ayurveda-healing.at\/data\/2012\/05\/leo2858-318x300.jpg\")
<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\nThere are many styles, levels and approaches.\u00a0Yet how one practices decides if it is Yoga or simple another form of physical workout.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nMy opinion is that all Yoga styles are valuable.<\/strong><\/p>\nThe\u00a0<\/span>Ayurvedic principle<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>of healing<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>\u201cEverything is good for somebody at a certain times in a specific dosage,<\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/em>\u00a0<\/span>also applies to Yoga.<\/p>\nAs each person is different, so is the way one prefers to practice Yoga.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>As one continues to change in life with it\u2019s different stages and requirements, so does one\u2019s Yoga practice.<\/p>\n\n- Daily needs vary:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>One feels differently each day and during each phase of ones life. There are days one feels more tired and stressed and needs a slower rejuvenative practice. There are days one is full of energy and feels ready to flow through the postures, excited to be challenged at bit more.<\/li>\n
- Seasons vary:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>Ayurveda describes that each season brings it\u2019s qualities and in order to stay healthy through out all the changing seasons of a year, we need to adept to each season by the way which foods we eat and what qualities we bring into our daily lives. This wisdom needs to be applied to our Yoga practice as well. In the heat and dryness of summer for example, one needs to practice a more cooling and calming Yoga sequence than in the rainy and wet months of autumn.<\/li>\n
- Life cycles vary:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>There are also times in our lives when we need more grounding, other times when we need more movement. There are times when we need to learn how to focus and therefore practice to go into the precisions of each Yoga posture and there are times when we cannot be bothered and just like to move and breath and enjoy it all.<\/li>\n
- Age varies:<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>A teenager who has a lot of excess physical energy for example, needs a different Yoga practice than a woman who has a baby and a toddler to take care of. Am I right?!<\/li>\n
- Needs vary:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>A woman has different needs during pregnancy than after the birth. A Yoga teacher\/practices that can adapt to these different needs is a pure blessing. Whereas a Yoga practice that doesn\u2019t honoring these special physical, emotional and mental needs can also be harmful to both mother and child.<\/li>\n
- Health varies:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>The way one practices Yoga when one is at the height of one\u2019s physical health and youth is different than one who is recovering from a sickness or is still sick or aging or even dying.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

The practice of Yoga is your lifetime companion<\/span><\/h3>\n![\"Mother](\"https:\/\/www.ayurveda-healing.at\/data\/2016\/01\/Fotolia_91919253_XS-400x288.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nNo matter how old you are, where you at, who you are with, what you are doing and how you are feeling, you can always practice Yoga.\u00a0<\/span>Yoga always brings more vibrancy, joy, peace and stability, if practiced properly.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>And Yoga always brings more health and youth if one\u2019s constitutional needs and seasonal changes are taken into consideration.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
