I had been practicing yoga in my home for a while when I decided to take some classes at a local center. I had been using a variety of yoga videos and DVDs that were taught by senior instructors with impeccable form, so I expected same quality of yoga instruction when I arrived at this class. Unfortunately, it wasn’t case. The teacher who taught class was sloppy in her style as she moved through poses and it seemed more as if she were doing her own practice, rather than leading class. She never came around and adjusted alignment of any of students, which really annoyed me because that was main reason I decided to attend class. Additionally, she was facing one way and students were facing opposite way, so it was very difficult to see what she was doing. Needless to say, I wasn’t impressed.

I am optimistic by nature so next morning, I took another class at same center, but this time there was a different teacher leading practice. Her style was more of what I was looking for. Her execution of positions was excellent. She showed students how to do pose and then she got up and checked alignment of students and made necessary adjustments. She brought attention to those students who did a pose particularly well, and she encouraged others to go a little deeper. I was very happy with teacher, and even though class did not fit my schedule particularly well, I attended it on a regular basis.

Although my initial endeavor into world of taking yoga classes was somewhat hit or miss, by asking certain questions and checking some details, you have a better chance of finding right yoga instructor for you.

Here are some things to consider.

Decide what your goals are for your yoga practice. Do you want to practice yoga to relieve stress, heal from an injury, or gain strength and flexibility? If a center offers yoga that is very fast paced and very physically challenging, it probably won’t be right match for you if you want to learn how to relax.

What style of yoga interests you? Make sure that center offers that particular style.

Are you interested in a certain level of yoga instruction? If you are a beginner, you probably don’t want to take a class that lumps all levels together. You also don’t want a class that is too advanced where you have a greater chance of feeling discouraged because you can’t keep up with other students, or worse, you could get injured. You want a class where instructor takes ample time to explain postures and also helps students achieve correct alignment.

Information on potassium

When you read about potassium and senate document report 264 you'll life should be changed forever. You're going to discover that biggest fallacy most people aren't aware of is that if we eat a balanced diet, (the four food groups), we get all nutrients we need to stay healthy and live a long life. The truth is, this has been a matter of public record for past 60 years. Fact is that our farming soils are severely depleted of these so important minerals such as potassium.

Without adequate mineral intake whether through supplements or certain foods vitamins our bodies take in are worthless. We need this important mineral as it assists in muscle contraction and in maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance in body cells. Various surveys would have us believe that we get adequate amounts of daily intake but in truth how's that possible according to senate document.
