Psychosomatic Associations Between Thinking Patterns and Parkinson’s Disease from a Yoga Philosophy Perspective: A New Zealand Cross-Sectional Study Sridhar Maddela, MHSc, C-IAYT, E-RYT 500,1  Stephen Buetow, MA (Hons), PhD1  Department of General Practice and Primary Health Care, School of Population Health, University of Auckland, New Zealand.  Correspondence:  drsridhar.maddela@gmail.com  Abstract When investigating the etiology of diseases, epidemiological observational studies traditionally deemphasize psychoso- matic associations. Exploring cognitive behavior provides an insight into how psychosomatic associations affect dis- ease. Yoga philosophy identifies the kleshas (mental afflic- tions) of ignorance, ego, desire, hatred, and fear of death with disease. This is because individuals’ perceptions and beliefs generate and reflect streams of thought that may shape their behavior and manifest as, or predispose them to, particular disease(s). The present study takes a yogic philo- sophical perspective...

Can Yoga Music Change the Effectiveness of your Yoga practice? It's fairly obvious that music has an effect on us as human beings. How many times have you been driving along in your car and all of a sudden a song you love comes on the radio, you turn it up and feel happier almost instantly. Similarly, a song you detest might instantaneously put you in a bad mood. Music has a solid impact on how we operate in most situations of our life, including the effectiveness of our yoga practice. Yoga has a rhythm and momentum to it, whether you're practicing in a class or on your own. The Yoga music that is playing in the background of your session does have an effect on the...

Yoga Practice – Which style is best for you?

Yoga Practice - How do you decide which is best yoga practice for you? When someone says to you that they practice yoga, what’s your mental image of what that entails? You might think of people in calm savasana poses, prone on the floor and chanting. Or you might think of very active class times, with an instructor leading students through pose after pose.      Whatever your visual of what a yoga practice might be, you’re probably right. That’s because there are lots of different types of yoga, and lots of different ways that a yoga practice can fit into your well-being goals.      Of course, that very active yoga class exists; it often focuses on very challenging physical poses that will improve your cardio fitness levels. Some common examples...

Wellpark College sent Sonja Potts to the Wanderlust Festival at Lake Taupo to discover all the Yoga delights that the 4 day event has to offer. The experience took her way beyond the Yoga Mat. Wanderlust Festival - A place to be. The event that makes big promises. “Wanderlust  is an experience that will leave you different than when you came — with new ideas, new friends, newly discovered abilities, and greater peace.” And delivers. “Unplug from the ordinary,” they beckoned… After 5 hours of road tripping from Auckland to Taupo we checked in, checked out, and proclaimed our intentions for the four days on a cardboard card collective wall. Mine was simple: Be. I wanted to unplug from the excess (thinking, doing, eating, sleeping, drinking, working, sitting in front of a desk...

A career in Yoga

A career in Yoga. I recently turned 30 and when I told my friends how excited I was for this milestone they were all shocked as they were dreading it. I was excited because I was the happiest I had been in my life and that is thanks to choosing a career in Yoga. Nine years ago I graduated university and started a corporate career. I started working in a small agency and from there I did 7 years of corporate work for various agencies and organisations. Even though I got to work for some amazing high profile brands and have some amazing experiences I never really enjoyed going to work. I had always toiled with the idea of doing something different, something I was really passionate...

A day in the life of a Yoga Student

A day in the life of a Yoga Student My day starts at 6am. I try to wake at this time most days as we have learnt in Ayurveda that waking before the sun rises brings peace of mind and freshness to the senses, it also allows me plenty of time to get ready for the day without having to feel rushed. Since studying I have started by own morning Yoga practice which takes about an hour. In this practice I try to incorporate any new postures we have learnt that week or any new sequences so what we have learnt stays top of mind. Following my practice I feel energized and ready for the day. I get myself organized and head off to class which starts at...
