 Yoga - old view; new view October 8, 2007
Jill Zimmer (Columbus, IN United States)
There are now two schools of thought re: "doing" yoga. There is the tried and true historical version(s) and the "let's re-write history version of exercise for the 21st century - go for the burn." I started doing yoga in the 70's with Lilias on PBS. Took many yoga classes from some excellent instructors and still have a very thin volume (book) of Lilias' by which I taught myself many of the yoga poses. Believe it or not, yoga does not start with Downward Facing Dog which is the catch pose of the 20-to-30-something person. Last winter I started taking Yoga through a Fitness Center and when we were done, I walked up to the instructor and told her that I didn't remember yoga being so "fast". She told me that yoga should bring up your heart rate. Maybe, but yoga is not a cardio-vascular "exercise" like aerobic walking, boot camp, or spinning,etc. The movements are meant to be slow for a reason. Yoga is a process of patience, not an immediate NOW gratification.
Lilias may be slow, but yoga is a combination of mind and body, not let's get that heart pumping as a measure of accomplishing the poses. I would strongly recommend her tapes and dvds for beginners, so YOU DON'T HURT YOURSELF. YOGA is not meant to "hurt" or "burn", ever. A good foundation creates the concentration, strength and stamina to turn your body into a pretzel and to BREATHE correctly. With a little perserverance at any age, the rewards are remarkable. And, if you progress quickly to the next tapes/dvds - great, Lilias has done her job, and she knows it. If you want the "burn" and pretty immediate results do Pilates. Yoga is a lifetime achievement.
