Teaching Adults
On Saturday, I started teaching my very first Yoga class to adults (So far I have been teaching only kids and teens)., New class..1 guy and 3 ladies., Guy is a body builder who has 0 level flexibility (If I had a formula to calculate., Im sure that will be the result)
I started telling them what Yoga is, the originate., types of yoga and the rules which we have to follow while studying yoga..and I started with some basic poses.. The guy wanted to do the most difficult possess first and I thought a better way to tackle him., I asked everybody to watch me carefully and I did “Ghanu Seersasana” (Head to knee., elbows on the flow., palms touching the right feet. ) I gotup and asked them to do that., So everybody tried to bend and started whining and screaming.. I asked.. What do you feel now?? Do you feel angry..? or are you shame of your body? Or Are you disappointed??? I said if you feel this way,, there is no yoga here… I told them that they should learn to accept the limitations of their bodies for the day and learn basics first and build the flexibility gradually. After some time., they all became corporative and they became friendly with each other.. I think I handled the situation right…After the class as usual the ladies asked “from where you bought your yoga outfits…. and the mats..” J the guy said he feels good. I feel good too because they said they really want to continue. It was quite tiring than teaching children… But overall it’s a good class.

It seems like you like things that focus on Teaching Adults
I like to leave a little “wisdom” to jolt your into thinking about goals you may have set over the past few years, months and days, after a good blog read.
Not earth shattering by any means, and probably know this, but have you actually practiced it lately?
You know – gnitteS laoG
Jot down a few new ones today or visit a few old ones that would make you a better person, better business person or a better provider or some you haven't been able to keep for some reason or other.
Today’s tidbit…
There is a difference in setting your goals and setting them effectively. Anyone can set a goal, but doing it effectively means that it will actually get done.
There are so many things that you can do to better your life, but if you don't know how to go about it you are stuck.
The following guidelines will help you to set effective goals and help you manage your time in an efficient manner that will cause those goals to become reality.
State each goal as a positive statement
Express your goals in a positive way. That is a key component to setting goals that you can attain.
How often have you been excited to accomplish a goal that didn't even sound good when you brought it up? If you are not comfortable or happy with the goals that you have set, the likelihood of you succeeding is pretty low.
If you want to express your goals in a positive way, you simply have to first think of a goal that puts a smile on your face when you imagine it completed. Why would you want to set a goal that made you frown, cringe or cry?
When you are beginning to set your goals it helps when you are talking about them to others in a manner that states your actions as positives because it will have others seeing it as a positive as well.
That will garner you a great deal more support. In the end, don't we all need a little support when we are trying to do something positive in our lives?
Be precise
Set a precise goal that includes starting dates, times and amounts so that you can properly measure your achievement.
If you do this, you will know exactly when you have achieved the goal, and can take complete satisfaction from having achieved it.
Being precise in setting your goals is no more than setting them with exact details. It is easier this way because then you can follow a step-by-step format. That's all there is to it.
Set priorities
When you have several goals, give each a specific priority. This helps you to avoid feeling overwhelmed by too many goals, and helps to direct your attention to the most important ones and follow each in succession. Setting priorities will force you into the step-by-step format above.
By doing the most important first and moving to the least important in succession, you are enabling each task to be easier than the last. It causes the accomplishment of each task to get easier and easier which will encourage you to complete your goal.
There’s a few more “tidbits” for you at Lifetime Goals
Don't worry, they're FREE!
Enjoy your day – And have a GREAT one!
By the way, learn how to Make New Years Resolutions you can keep there also.
I’m about to make you think.
It might be painful.
Have you done anything earth shattering lately?
Read anything that really sets your mind on fire with a passion to do good?
How about doing something important for yourself?
Have you?
Do you know without a doubt where you will be living a few years from now, what you will be doing?
Got a Plan?
Know how to get there?
You gotta have goals!
I enjoy blog surfing and when I find one that makes me think a bit I like to leave a little nuget behind that may help the writer.
What will you do with this “nugget”? Ignore it or use it…
Here’s yours;
Write Goals Down
This crystallizes your goals and gives them more force. In writing your goals down, you are better able to keep up with your scheduled tasks for each accomplishment. It also helps you to remember each task that needs to be done and allows you to check them off as they are accomplished.
Basically, you can better keep track of what you are doing so as not to repeat yourself unnecessarily.
Set lifetime goals. At least have an idea of what you want to accomplish with your life.
Keep the low-level goals you are working towards small and easy to achieve. If a goal is too large, then it can seem that you are not making progress towards it.
Keeping goals small and incremental allows you more opportunities for reward. Derive today's goals from larger ones. It is a great way to accomplish your goals.
Set Performance Goals, not outcome goals
You should take care to set goals over which you have as much control as possible. There is nothing more dispiriting than failing to achieve a personal goal for reasons that are beyond your control.
These could be bad business environments, poor judging, bad weather, injury, or just plain bad luck. If you base your goals on personal your performance, then you can keep control over the achievement of your goals and get satisfaction from achieving them.
Set Realistic Goals. It is important to set goals that you can achieve.
All sorts of people (parents, media, and society) can set unrealistic goals for you which is almost a guarantee of failure. They will often do this in ignorance of your own desires and ambitions or flat out disinterest.
Alternatively you may be naive in setting very high goals. You might not appreciate either the obstacles in the way, or understand quite how many skills you must master to achieve a particular level of performance.
By being realistic you are increasing your chances of success.
Do not set your goals to low.
Just as it is important not to set goals unrealistically high; do not set them too low.
People tend to do this where they are afraid of failure or where they simply don’t want to do anything.
You should set goals so that they are slightly out of your immediate grasp, but not so far that there is no hope of achieving them. No one will put serious effort into achieving a goal that they believe is unattainable.
However, remember that your belief that a goal is unrealistic may be incorrect. If this could be the case, you can to change this belief by using imagery effectively.
Good Luck and Happy Goal Setting!

I was going to leave a little tip on New Years Resolutions and how to make the best of them.
Unfortunately, I would not be able to keep it brief.
Goal setting takes effort and you really have to know how to do it to do it well. Especially the follow-up.
That's why I've included a lot of FREE goal setting information on my website, to help folks like you be more successful.
In fact, you can start now, and get a head start on the new year - and the rest of your life.
Think goal setting isn't important?
Spend a little time at Developing Goals and you'll change your mind.
Have a GREAT day!
Thanks for a good read on your blog.
I’m leaving a little “teaser” for you here to start you thinking about something you may have disregarded for awhile.
Perhaps it will make a difference in your day, month or year. Who knows, it could change your life!
I hope this is of great benefit to you, and maybe you can pass it on…
How to Begin to Achieve Your Goals
Once you have set your lifetime goals, the best thing that you can do is set a 25 year plan of smaller goals that you should complete if you are to reach your lifetime plan.
From there you can just shorten your overall goal spans for example, you set a 5 year plan, 1 year plan, 6 month plan, and 1 month plan of progressively smaller goals that you should reach to achieve your lifetime goals.
Each of these should be based on the previous plan. It is the best way to begin to achieve a lifetime that is filled with and results in a life without any failed wishes. It results in a life without regret.
You see, by starting out slowly, you are giving yourself the chance to realize and work on achieving the goals that you set out to.
Nobody ever succeeds at attaining a goal that was forced through. Those that tried never really got what they were hoping for. In rushing through and trying to achieve your goals quickly you will likely miss a few key aspects that can really change your outcome.
Think of it this way; if you were to run a 10K marathon and decided to take a cab for half of the journey; have you really achieved that goal? Would you be satisfied when you crossed the finish line?
It would be a hollow victory that could only provide a moments happiness.
Finally set a daily to do list of the things that you should do today to work towards your lifetime goals.
At an early stage these goals may be to read books and gather information on the achievement of your goals. This will help you to improve the quality and realism of your goal setting and in effect; make it easier to achieve them.
You also have to review your plans, and make sure that they fit the way in which you want to live your life.
Once you have decided what your first set of plans will be, keep the process going by reviewing and updating your to-do list on a daily basis.
You have to periodically review the longer term plans, and change them to reflect your changing priorities and experiences in your life.
Have a GREAT day, and set a few new goals while you’re at it!
