Vikasa yoga - my brief encounter.

Vikasa yoga ( Konstantin Miachin), Ko Samui, Thailand.

Suddenly , I was thrust into this world of vikasa yoga by my friend, Dr Beh as she has been pushing me to support her friend, who is a yogi contesting in a photography contest on the vikasa yoga FB website. By hook or by crook , I was able to lock in and voted for her friend, lingling.

Actually, she looks very well in all her poses and she has a wonderful body line. This is one of the benefit in yoga apart from strong body and mind power. The ability to bend and stretch makes the muscles lean and thin. Even your stomach will become smaller from eating less. In Yoga practice, you preserve your energy unlike other exercise ,you expand your energy.

After going into the website , I know where one of my fella yogi from the same class went for her teacher training programme. In vikasa yoga, if you win the annual photography contest ,you have a one month free teacher training in their Ko Samui resort in Thailand. After the training, you will qualify as a Yoga teacher. Those contestants must have attained certain level of yoga skill.

In yoga, there are many styles and to attain a pose , there are several ways if achieving it. The practice have different concepts and focus. Some for mental concentration and relaxation ,another is for breathing, one is for power, hot yoga is for strengthening of the body under intense heat, etc.

If you go Youtube, you will understand what I mean and this is also true for Tai chi and qigong ,etc.

Go for it an enjoy it.

Namaste.
