Yoga trends for 2009

Even as fitness becomes more of a universal mantra, yoga stays put in the top slot as one of the hottest fitness regimens in the world. It has been reigning for a longtime now and things look set to continue that way.Intriguingly, while earlier it was an adventurous and bemused West that embraced thescience of mind-body fitness, yoga is now set to enter realms that were closed to itup until now. The entire Arab stretch is experiencing and will continue to experiencegreat yearnings for yoga: Indian yoga teachers are hosting flight-loads of youngtrainers from these countries seeking to learn it the traditional way. Already,the demand for yoga teachers in these countries has opened up immense opportunitiesfor yoga teachers, thus making it a field at sunrise for fitness trainers.Presented in the following pages are some hot yoga trends that are likely to be witnessed in the coming year.
Twosome yogaThis is yoga partnering, when parents wish to learn yoga with their children, orspouses with each other. Special workshops that accommodate this desperate need tospend quality time with loved ones mean that yoga teachers will also be packaginggroup sessions that accommodate these needs.Up until now, partnering has been mostly between two people who were equal yogafreaks, with almost equal skill on the yoga mat. But now, the trend will fit different levels of performance between partners -- one, most likely a yoga maniac and theother who wishes to participate in it, or is dragged into it! Thus, workshops thataccommodate partners with varying capability in yoga will be 'in'.
Yoga with propsFusion yoga is going to be hot. This means props that combine different fitnesswork-outs are going to be the 'in' thing.Yoga blocks -- foam and wooden -- have been around. But now pilates props will beentering yoga studios subtly as yoga and pilates will marry to promote the alreadyexisting yoga-lates into a power work-out. The pilates ring challenges the arms andthighs, balls challenge balance and core muscles and the balance boards will lookinviting to a yoga practitioner simply because they build on the key strengthsrequired on the mat. So, real yoga-lovers will experiment wildly with availablegadgets and props to carry forward their sadhana.Till now yoga props were mostly used by certain schools like Iyengar or other gentler, therapeutic insitutitions. Dismissed earlier as the paraphernalia of those who could not attempt difficult poses, now props will find takers from the hard-core practitioners who wish to elevate their practice.
Dance yogaPerforming yoga to music is going to be hot, simply because it gives an outlet to thehigh-energy rajasic (Ayurvedic personality type that is energetic) types who love
yoga. Also, yoga flows, already in fashion, will infuse music to carry the challenge forward.Doing yoga flows to a particular beat, maintaining the rhythm in a choreographedfashion, is hugely stimulating and mentally exciting. The different beats -- from pop and rock to classical -- have all been used as a backdrop to yoga flows, and willcontinue to lend a sense of exclusivity and adventure that will attract practitioners seeking a thrilling difference.
Warrior yogaYoga for healing will firmly give place to yoga for developing strength.This will happen because international superstars in the field of sports areincreasingly resorting to yoga for focus and core strength that power them whileperforming. International rugby and football teams now proudly announce their yogaprogrammes. Earlier, yoga was looked upon as a cheesy concept for the metrosexualmale or an androgenous female. But with sports trainers and coaches realising thebenefits of yoga training, it will redefine itself in those special aspects thatoriginally made it part of a warrior's life in ancient India. Warrior sequences,
core strength developing poses, ashtanga yoga (of the Mysore School) will become more popular.

Chakra workoutsEven while the body beautiful aspect of yoga gets sharply defined, its psychic aspect will begin to find a larger audience. Celebs are openly flaunting their spiritualism and the ways through which they seek to reach their spiritual goals faster. Whetherit is Madonna discussing Kabbalah or Naomi Campbell wearing pearls to control her
anger, it is big news and big business.In yoga, chakra awareness is gaining ground as people change diets to accommodate the flow of nadis (energy channels): the 'rainbow diet' is of help in this context. Colour therapy, chromotherapy and gemstone healing are all part of the same path that leads to the smooth flow of chakras. So, yoga asana packages and workshops designed to open up your chakras, meditation packages, reiki and pranic healing (both also related to chakra awareness) will make practitioners feel more empowered and in charge of their spiritual destiny.

Lazy yogaTill now, yoga has been practiced either by those seeking health or strength.Now, the lazy ones who have kept off it will savour it in its less challengingforms: chair yoga, aqua yoga (where the water's buoyancy makes certain poses easierwere a masseuse kneads your body into yogic poses) will become more popular,so that even those who cannot exert on the mat will find some way to relate to this science.--If you like this post, then please subscribe to my Also you can so that new posts will be sent to your inbox.
