903 If you are currently enrolled, or looking to enroll in a yoga teacher training, you will have to be prepared to put your skills of teaching to the test through a proper audition. Interviews to be a yoga teacher are conducted much differently than your typical job interviews, and generally they include a proper ‘audition’ as well. I have seen this done in several formats. In some cases, you will be asked to teach a full class anywhere from 30-50 minutes to a room full of volunteer students. In other cases, you will be asked to ‘pretend’ that you…

In an extensive literature review, which indicates there are several methods for meeting the omega-3 fatty acid recommendations, the researchers determined that consuming ALA that’s present in plant-based foods such as flaxseeds and walnuts was linked to a 10% reduction in cardiovascular disease risk and a 20% reduction in fatal coronary heart disease…

Figuring out the number of calories burned through exercise is no small task, as there are many factors that impact that total (e.g., weight, sex, age, genes, exercise intensity). What’s more, research suggests we may overestimate how many calories we burn in a single workout by as much as four times the actual amount! But rest assured,…
