Blog 16: Advisory Meeting #2

EQ: What is most beneficial about the practice of Bikram Yoga?

Answer 2: Losing weight through a full body workout

One 90 minute session of Bikram yoga can burn 350-600 calories.

The 26 different poses all focus on working different muscle groups.

Adults who practice yoga are more likely to maintain a healthy weight than those who do not.

Bikram yoga is fun and effective way to reach or maintain a healthy weight.

Blog 15: Independent Component 2 Approval

1) I would like to do 30 more hours of mentorship for my second independent component.
2) I will continue to spend my weekend mornings practicing yoga and helping my mentor.
3)  Now that I've been studying under my mentor for a while she has entrusted me with more responsibilities. Not only have I been physically been practicing yoga but my mentor has been teaching me the business side of the studio. This would help me understand all aspects of Bikram Yoga, as well as expose me to more research and more people who are willing to answer my questions.

Blog 13: Lesson 2 Reflection

1) I had a lot of fun preparing making the power point, like taking pictures.

2a) I would give myself an AP for my presentation
2b) I know I didn't make time

3) I think it was a good idea to take pictures and talk about each pose so when it came time for the activity everyone had an idea of what was going on.

4) I would speak much slower and talk more about my answer

5) I think I want my answer 2 to be about the heat or about compression poses but i haven't made up my mind yet
