What is the big difference between Yoga breathing and Zen Meditation?

March 16, 2010 By 6 Comments

When you meditate using Yoga what do you do to meditate? I am talking about relaxing Yoga like breathing Yoga.

And with the Zen meditation do you follow the samething? Or you are counting your breathing etc?

Please give me example and breathing ratio.

Thank you.

What type of yoga is best for a beginner who is specifically looking to reduce stress?

I’m trying to decide between 2 classes being offered locally: Kundalini Yoga and Hatha Yoga. The course descriptions make Hatha sounds a bit more kinetic, but since I’m new to all this I really don’t know which is best. My goal is to reduce stress and muscle tension.
By the way, I am NOT looking to lose weight.

How do I become a certified yoga instructor?

January 2, 2010 By 1 Comment

I am interested in becoming a yoga instructor, specifically for prenatal and mommy and me yoga (also known as Itsy Bitsy Yoga in some places). I used to do yoga all the time and I am now getting back into it and my love for it keeps growing. I know it will take a long time, and I am starting by taking regular Hatha Yoga classes, I just want to know the steps I will need to take, and any tips from anyone who has been there.
