Yoga teaches us that our true self is the soul, and that our identity is but an illusion to be overcome. In yoga we learn how to become the witness within, and to observe with detachment our mind, emotion and body. We understand that a thought is born, and then emotion follows, and then a sensation in the body. In yoga we learn how to discriminate our thoughts to enable us to allow our healing processes to start.
Yoga teaches us to live in the present moment. Do you recognize yourself in one the above! Different types of resistance training include: Free weights — classic strength training tools such as dumbbells, barbells and kettlebells. Medicine balls or sand bags — weighted balls or bags.
Weight machines — devices that have adjustable seats with handles attached either to weights or hydraulics. Resistance bands — like giant rubber bands — these provide resistance when stretched.
They are portable and can be adapted to most workouts. The bands provide continuous resistance throughout a movement. Suspension equipment — a training tool that uses gravity and the user's body weight to complete various exercises.
Your own body weight — can be used for squats, push-ups and chin-ups. Using your own body weight is convenient, especially when travelling or at work.

Enhanced performance of everyday tasks. Basic principles of resistance training Resistance training consists of various components.
Basic principles include: Program — your overall fitness program is composed of various exercise types such as aerobic training, flexibility training, strength training and balance exercises. Weight — different weights or other types of resistance, for example a 3 kg hand weight or fixed weight, body weight or rubber band will be used for different exercises during your strength training session.
Exercise — a particular movement, for example a calf-raise, is designed to strengthen a particular muscle or group of muscles. Repetitions or reps — refers to the number of times you continuously repeat each exercise in a set. Set — is a group of repetitions performed without resting, for example, two sets of squats by 15 reps would mean you do 15 squats then rest muscles before doing another 15 squats.
Rest — you need to rest between sets. Rest periods vary depending on the intensity of exercise being undertaken. Variety — switching around your workout routine, such as regularly introducing new exercises, challenges your muscles and forces them to adapt and strengthen.
The aim is to use an appropriate weight or resistant force that will challenge you, while maintaining good technique. Also, regular adjustments to the training variables, such as frequency, duration, exercises for each muscle group, number of exercises for each muscle group, sets and repetitions, help to make sure you progress and improve.
For example, during Breakthrough Coaching with NLP , there are a set of questions known as Secondary Gain, which uncovers the true purpose of resistance and allows you to contemplate what life would be like when you still get the benefit from resistance, yet simultaneously be free from it. Create a feeling of safety: Resistance is a defence mechanism to keep you safe.
Understand that resistance is a feedback signal, informing you that there is some fear with a particular issue. Have a dialogue with the resistance: Engage your resistance in a dialogue and ask it the reason it has come. Your resistance may first want to throw a bit of a tantrum for taking so long to listen up! This is because there can sometimes be resistances to healing such.
Tapping the karate chop points clears out resistance to healing very smoothly, and ensures that healing can be facilitated very quickly. The power prayer and intention: Sometimes, we forget all about the simple yet powerful forces of prayers and setting intentions. When we open up our problems to God, the Universe, or Divine Beings, we open up a pathway for healing and miracles to take place.
When we set intentions, we are setting a direction to align our energies and actions for receiving the healing and miracles to take place. Sometimes it might be a matter of simply turning over your issues to a higher power to aid and guide us. So in summary, resistance happens and the best way to overcome it is not to push it away but to face it and make peace with it.

She loves being able to share alternate therapy and coaching skills that enable real and rapid transformations. Name the emotion you are experiencing. Our natural habit is usually to resist or to fight feeling vulnerable and other challenging emotions, especially when others are also minimizing our experience. When we acknowledge what we are feeling we honor our experience and regain control of our emotions. We can analyze and problem solve after we have cared for the wound.
Your ancestors, family and friends understand. You stand with others in your struggle. Treat yourself like a good friend would. We are often hard on ourselves, especially during stressful situations. We can reduce the impact of racism by caring for ourselves: ask yourself what is needed right now.
