For example, the first session I looked at sent me to https://youtu.be/s2NQhpFGIOg and at the one minute mark it tells me that a yoga mat (preferably made of cotton) is important because it prevents earthing of the energy that gets generated in the process.
He has gone on to rehabilitate multiple people and document it. It's really a fascinating story. Kudos!
Thanks for that link.
For my example, I chose “Advanced” and two of the three videos were labelled “Beginner”. The third I did a quick view of and it also looked like a beginner practice. This is an issue generally with yoga videos online - they are predominantly for beginners with somewhat limited Intermediate videos and very rarely Advanced videos. But you could solve this with gifs of different poses linked together on the fly, and generate the exact desired length of practice!
It's not always easy to look at a screen while in yoga positions.
I highly recommend getting a tailored routine. The sheer numbers of people with yoga teaching credentials make it pretty easy to find one.
My question is: Where is an AR app for yoga/PT/TaiChi/etc? I thought it would come with the Kinect, but that died on the vine. Now that Apple is all about AR and health, it should be in the pipeline - right?
I have been seeing private clients for years on chronic pain issues, low back pain, migraines, anxiety/stress. Throughout my years of working with them, I've created short videos and sequences on poses/practices that have helped a lot of my clients again and again.
I try to make these videos practical and bite-sized, instead of 45min or hour long practices. I get that we are all busy, and my motto is always: do a little everyday, and that will take you all the way.
Here is a link to the library of therapeutic yoga practices (including a whole playlist for low back pain). I add new videos weekly: https://www.youtube.com/user/yogawithelaine/
According to Wikipedia:
* Hatha is seems to be a branch of Yoga (Hatha apparently means "force")
* Ashtanga is another type of Yoga brought to the modern world by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and involves synchronizing breath with a series of positions.
Anyone can do it and there are different variations of different amounts of time. I personally skip the headstand stuff because I worry about hurting my neck, but the rest of it is very non-stressful on your body, but quite effective.
To simplify, Yoga means union (with the existence) and the word has sacred/divine connotations. So using it for all sorts of things like say naked yoga etc and disregarding the sanskrit name for the yogasanas and calling it things like downward dog pose etc is uncomfortable. Hopefully the yogasana practicioners will get curious and go deeper into the philosophy and mindset of the Hindu philosophy.
If anyone wants the full Yoga experience I recommend organisations like ISHA Yoga Foundation.
Btw regarding open source software comparisons, people either want to force the original repo into drastically changing the rules of contribution or instead of forking it and acknowledging the original project they just want to copy it with same name but do their own thing (for eg mindfulness vs meditation)
Since SIP orders, I have been working out at home with YouTube videos. I have been bookmarking some of my favorite videos and categorizing them (arms, upper body, cardio, etc). I think you can easily build a clone of this for other forms of workouts too.
At any rate, yes. Your advice is very good :)
