As an avid participant in fitness classes, I’ve come to appreciate the power of effective communication within the industry.

Along the way, I’ve noticed certain language trends that have found their way into the yoga world.

This is the first of a video series where I’ll shed light on the vocabulary, phrases, and expressions that are commonly used in fitness-related contexts and share insights on the fitness language you might want to reconsider using in your yoga classes and offer alternative suggestions.

It’s important to note that this exploration is not meant to criticize fitness instructors; instead, it’s about being aware and embracing a distinctive set of phrases and expressions that attune to the essence of yoga and distinguish you as a yoga teacher vs. a fitness teacher.

I hope this is helpful and wonder what you all think! Drop a comment.

📸 Thanks to @alanagrace_yoga!

Radiating Wisdom and Dedication! 🌟✨🎓

It’s our pleasure to honor the lovely and wondrous @kaitlinpaul_yoga, who this month achieved her @vesselify 300-hour yoga teacher training after years of hard work and commitment.

Her dedication, studentship, and radiant spirit have made her an inspiration to all.

Congratulations, Kaitlin, on this incredible milestone!

May your yoga path continue to illuminate the lives of others!

In her words:

“I began my journey with Vesselify in 2017 and my studies over the past 5 years have taken me to Boulder, Seattle and Costa Rica to finish my 300hr certification. I have met so many other incredible teachers from all over the world along the way and am so grateful to Amy and the rest of the Vesselify team for their steady guidance and wealth of knowledge that have challenged me to move outside of my comfort zone and helped to refine my skills as a yoga teacher immensely. I am honored to have earned my certification through Vesselify and look forward to continuing to study with the school as a lifelong student.”

Kaitlin is currently teaching public classes at @bklynflow Brooklyn Flow in Park Slope, Brooklyn

Most of us have grown unaccustomed to being still.

Most of us have grown unaccustomed to being still.

Especially if you were born after 1980, since you would have spent more of your formative years exposed to the Internet.

But even as a 70's kid, I struggle w/the pace.

We're so busy we barely talk on the phone anymore.

We're in constant multi-task mode—eating lunch while scrolling, listening to podcasts in the shower, texting while crossing the street.

Things have become so fast paced that we may actually confuse busyness w/ meaning!

In contrast to our information age, humans dwelled for centuries in quietude, sowing the fields, walking through the forests, working w/their hands.

Enter Restorative yoga - the remedy to a non-stop world.

The aim of Restorative yoga is to cultivate the stillness we’ve been missing and to make choices in our life that bring us greater ease.

Restorative yoga has been a huge support to my immune system, sleep, skin, overall stress levels, and yes, my asana practice!

Join me for one of my only teacher training modules of 2023 on, you guessed it, Restorative yoga! ~ @amyippoliti

💪🏻FIX TECK NECK & SHOULDER PAIN 💪🏻Try these simple options to move freely and improve your posture!!!

🧘🏾‍♀️For many of us the yoga practice starts with the physical body. When we feel low, depressed, and closed off from others it’s amazing how those feelings start to reflect in our posture.

💪🏻Try these 3 easy exercises to improve your posture, elevate your mood, and banish neck and shoulder pain.

☀️TOP 3 FOR BETTER POSTURE

➡️ Grab 2 yoga blocks and recline for 5mins (feel your shoulder blades melt either side and take your arms wide)

➡️ Pec stretch at the wall. Stand side on to a wall or doorway. Place your hand above your head. Bend your elbow. Anchor the base of your shoulderblade down. Then turn away from the wall until you feel a pec/chest stretch.

➡️ Add in cactus arms 🌵to your yoga sequences. This movement aims to bring the base of your scapula toward each other and encourage retraction (the opposite of desk posture).

🚨SAVE this post for later and let us know in the comments below if these tips help 🙏🏾
