common questions and myths

what style does sher teach?
Depending on the individual or group's needs and goals, several components are included in each session:
what is trauma informed yoga?
In addition to 500 hours of yoga teacher training, Sher has over 100 hours of trauma informed training to consider the physical and emotional safety in the practice environment. This careful consideration supports exploration and empowerment of a practice that honors a person's unique experiences and evolving needs. Hands on adjustments are rarely, if at all, needed when verbal adjustments can be more beneficial and safe. The use of respectful and empowering language is as important as the supportive movements and breath work taught. how does yoga help athletes?
Yoga for athletes is a complementary practice to the athlete's training that considers performance improvement, mental focus, injury prevention and recovery. It guides the athlete through pre-competition anxiety and stress, in-game breath work to help with focus, post-game calming and resetting, and in the off-season. Sher continues to build on her 50+ hours of knowledge in this niche area. is yoga only for the THIN AND flexible?
No, neither a thin frame nor flexibility are prerequisites for practicing yoga. Yoga is accessible to all body types and all levels of abilities. yoga is JUST stretching
Both yoga and stretching involve physical movements that improve flexibility. Yoga integrates breath control, mindfulness, and postures designed to enhance physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Stretching typically focuses solely on lengthening muscles. |
Yoga is just for women
Interestingly, while yoga is stereotyped as an activity primarily for women, it was historically, in its earliest forms, practiced by men. Today, yoga benefits all genders, body sizes, and abilities. DO I NEED TO BUY YOGA Clothing AND EQUIPMENT?
There is no need to purchase stylish outfits to practice yoga. If are you able to swing your arms and legs freely, you'll be fine in breathable and comfortable clothing. Yoga can be practiced anywhere with no need to purchase equipment. These are items that can be used as equipment: towel = mat blanket = bolster sturdy book = block belt or tie = strap how often should i practice?
The frequency of yoga practice can vary based on individual goals. For general health benefits, practicing 2-3 times a week can be effective. Daily practice is ideal for deeper physical, emotional, and mental benefits. is yoga a type of religion?
No, yoga is not a religion, but it is rooted in the spiritual traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. In modern practice and how Sher teaches, yoga focuses on physical, mental, and emotional well-being. YOGA is a form of relaxation
Yoga does promote relaxation, but it also improves strength, balance, mental clarity, as well as offers stress reduction and enhances overall health. Depending on what you put into the practice, it can be incredibly challenging and transformative ... and, yes, it can be relaxing. Yoga may not provide immediate results, but with consistency the benefits gradually unfold and you may begin to perceive a more balanced approach to how you manage the positives and negatives in your life. |
