Extra Post October

Although I seem to be getting the "hard" yoga poses I completely and utterly fail at the "easy" ones.

Blog 8 Research and Working EQ

1) My working EQ is How does Bikram Yoga increase strength and flexibility in young adults

2)

• The elevated temperature in the room allows muscles to build and stretch without the needed for an extended warm up.
• Bikram Yoga's repetitious sequence of poses allows greater focus on proper form instead of worrying about new poses.

3) The article How Yoga Can Wreck Your Body by William J Broad has been the most influential, its really terrifying how people can get permanently injured doing yoga and its make me a lot more careful.

4) My mentor is Vanessa Gomez, manager at Bikram Yoga Rancho Cucamonga. I have been practicing yoga to experience its benefits first hand.  

Blog 7 independent component 1

1) I plan on doing 30 more hours of mentorship for my independent component, it will include working reception (which entails answering phones and logging transactions) and attending classes.
2) I will log all activities on a spreadsheet as well as post pictures to my blog.
3) I think that the more I am involved in the studio the more I will understand my topic. Especially since I will have to answer questions on the phone and at the front desk.

Extra Post September (belated)

Blog 5: Project Reflection and Working EQ

1. So far I have learned much about the safety and procedures of Bikram yoga but have yet to begin practicing.

2. My first interview was very useful, my mentor was able to answer specific questions and help me understand the most important facets of the subject.

3. So far I have gotten lucky finding a mentor and a good place for mentorship. I'm fortunate that the staff is willing to teach me about yoga and how to run their business.

4. I am yet to actually get into the studio. The grand opening got pushed back yet again because the city of Rancho Cucamonga is difficult to work with, however my mentor will start training me on Saturday.

5. I'm thinking maybe how does Bikram yoga help improve strength and flexibility because something like weight loss or injuries would be hard to keep track of.
Starting this weekend I plan on volunteering a few hours a week as a receptionist at the studio.
