This week we have a special guest post by LeAnna from www.economicalexcursionists.com. LeAnna and her husband Travel Hack their way around the world and are now living in Europe. In this article LeAnna shares about their once in a lifetime experience at The Beach in Maya Bay, Thailand. We want to go!
Take us away LeAnna…
Living Life by a Bucket List
I am convinced that there are few places on Earth more stunning than The Beach.
What Beach?
THE BEACH! Come on, you know the one! The one where Leonardo DeCaprio finds a map while in Thailand that leads him to a mystery-shrouded, utopian society on The Beach.
Ok, only Hollywood may call Maya Bay, which is a short boat's ride off of the main Koh Phi Phi island in Thailand, just, "The Beach." But this little piece of heaven doesn't need much description or introduction. One look at the tiny, uninhabited island and it is no wonder why Leo and his crew decided to use Maya as the set of "The Beach."
Unfortunately, since the filming of the movie, the island and now preserved national park has taken on a tourist life of its own. If you go during the day, you'll have to battle for a small section of sand and will have to share the small cove filled with the most beautiful blue and green waters with hundreds of other beach goers. But the fact that even despite the hordes of people, it is still a site to behold says a lot about just how stunning this piece of paradise really is.
After watching the movie and seeing even just a few pictures from the trusty Google, there was no question whether going to Maya Bay was going to be on our itinerary while at Koh Phi Phi. However, I like my personal space and didn't want to share my experience with all those other people.
This was when I stumbled upon Maya Bay Tours.
Now, before I explain, I have to say that I have a small "Bucket list" of things I want accomplish, see or do in life. These usually aren't places, but instead actual experiences. Going Zorbing in New Zealand (check!) or go to and participate in a nude beach (awkwardly, check!). Another one of these items was to swim at night in the ocean with Phytoplankton. You can actually see this phenomenon in the movie, "The Beach", but I didn't realize that that portion of the film was actually based off of reality!
The excursion included a night full of activities including snorkeling in crystal clear coves, a BBQ on the beach, spending the night under the stars, breakfast on the boat, hilarious games to break the ice with the other travelers and yes, you guessed it; swimming in the phytoplankton rich waters at night.
At almost $85 per person, the cost of the excursion was way over our usual penny pinching budget. There are few things that we'll actually spend big on, but since it came down to a bucket list item, I was able to justify the splurge. And I am thankful I did because it was one of the most memorable and magical nights of my life!
The excursion started with a boat ride out to the island, Ko Phi Phi Leh. Along the way, we sailed passed a Vikings Cave (The Swallows Bird Nest Cave) to learn about the fabled history of the cave as well as the current Chinese bird Swallow industry.
We then stopped in a cove where, if we didn't know any better, we might have thought we were the only ones on the planet. It was just our group, the colorful fish and the sheer cliffs surrounding us. We could snorkel, jump off the boat roof, kayak or just take in the beauty of the island.
We then headed into Maya Bay. Our boat anchored just before heading into the bay so that we could see all the people packed onto the beach, but still were close enough to view the bay in all its glory. Once again, we hopped in the clear waters and snorkeled with the friendly fish and then watched as all the tourists started to leave, boat by boat, for the day, leaving only ours left floating by itself in the peaceful, isolated bay.
As a national park, the island technically "closes" for the night. Unless you are with this specific excursion, no tourists are allowed to stay on the island overnight. So, by the time we were tendered onto the beach, it was only our small group just in time to watch the sun dip slowly into the ocean in front of us.
As the advertisements promised, we indulged on an amazing Thai BBQ on the beach, played hilarious games appropriate only for adults and then spent the evening next to a bonfire as our guide strummed on his guitar under the moonlight, us humming along.
As the night enveloped us, we were taken back to our boat. We could already see the water start to sparkle as the phytoplankton came to life against the movement of the small dinghies cruising in the water.
At the boat, we jumped into, what looked like pitch black waters. However, with even just a slight movement of the hand of flutter kick of the feet, the waters burst into flashes of white. Hundreds of thousands of phytoplankton swirled around in the dark waters making it look as if you were literally swimming in a sea of diamonds. I have never experienced something so magical and surreal.
While I could have stayed in those warm, sparkling waters all night, we were eventually told it was time to turn in.
As we fell asleep on the swaying boat dock under the clear night's sky, I was reminded, yet again, that travel is not always about a checklist of places to see. Instead it is about living every moment as if it was your bucket list.

The Basics

What: Record label Stax Records

Where: Memphis, TN, USA (founding city)

Founded by: Jim Stewart and Estelle Axton

Founded: 1957

Closed: 1978 (although the company name and catalog was acquired by Concord Music Group in 2004 and the imprint is being used for some new releases)

From Satellite to Stax Records and From Country to Soul

Jim Stewart initially founded a label called Satellite Records in 1957 - his sister Estelle Axton came on board the following year. As Satellite, the pair negotiated a distribution deal with Atlantic Records and had minor success with the Last Night by the Mar-Keys. After discovering that there was already a label with the name Satellite Records, Stewart and Axton renamed their label Stax Records.

The name wasn't the only thing to change in the early days. Although the label was started as a country label, the changing face of Stewart's neighborhood sparked an interest in R&B music, and the label swapped genres.

Stax HQ

Stax Records' home base was an old theater in South Memphis, TN, which served as label business headquarters as well as a recording studio and record shop (which was still run under the name Satellite Records). Until the mid-1970s, nearly all of the label's hits were recorded in this studio, with house band Booker T. and the MGs (who became stars in their right).

It is the converted theater itself that some credit for the signature Stax Records sound. The floors were sloped to allow for auditorium style seating, creating a unique acoustic environment for recording.

Gulf and Western Deal

By 1968, Stax had enjoyed several successes and attracted the attention of Gulf and Western (a major conglomeration group at the time), who bought the label that year. Axton sold her share, Stewart retained his share but stepped out of the day to day running of the business, and Al Bell, label PR director, took the reins. The distribution deal with Atlantic was terminated at this time as well. In many ways, it was the beginning of the end. See more info below about the story behind the Gulf and Western deal.

Stax Records Subsidiaries

After being rocked by the 1950s payola scandals, radio stations in the 1960s were very careful about playing too many records by any one record label. For this reason, it was very common during this time for labels to start "subsidiary" labels - which essentially amounted to releasing an album through the main label with the name of another label on the album jacket. Stax had a number of these labels, including:

Hip

Volt (home of Otis Redding)

Chalice

Enterprise

All of the music on these labels was owned by Stax.

Good-bye Stax Records

Although Stax had some major successes in the 1970s while operating as an independent label—most notably with Isaac Hayes and their Wattstax Festival (which also featured Richard Pryor)—it never recovered from the loss of the Atlantic deal. Gulf and Western knew little about running a label and severely mismanaged the business. Despite the successes of Hayes, Wattstax, and some other Stax releases, Gulf and Western never capitalized on them, and the label went bankrupt. In 1975, Stax called it a day. In the final days, Stewart remortgaged his home to keep the label alive—he lost it when the label collapsed.

Stax Catalog and Reappearance of the Label

After Stax had gone bankrupt, the back catalog of the label and the Stax name was bought by Fantasy Records, who released albums under the imprint until they sold their rights to Concord in 2004. Concord continues to use the imprint. The catalog that was kept by Atlantic (see more info below) remains under their control, though some albums have been licensed to Rhino Records.

Stax Records Artists

Some of the artists to release music on Stax over the years include:

Isaac Hayes

Otis Redding

Rufus Thomas

Johnnie Taylor

Albert King

The Staple Singers

Gulf and Western, Atlantic Records, and One Bad Contract

Atlantic Record's Jerry Wexler was a huge Stax Records fan and worked closely with the label throughout the 1960s (he even insisted some Atlantic artists record in Stax to get the signature sound). The distribution relationship between Stax and Atlantic seemed to be a good one until Warner bought Atlantic. There was a clause in the Stax/Atlantic deal that terminated the agreement if Atlantic was bought by another company. It was at this point that Stewart found out the downside of the contract he had signed with Atlantic. The contract stipulated that Atlantic - not Stax - owned the masters to the albums they distributed. So, when the deal between them ended, Atlantic was left holding most of Stax's biggest hits.

In the wake of losing their masters, Stax lost the biggest artist on their label at that point, Otis Redding. Redding died in a plane crash just four days after he recorded the song that would go on to be his biggest hit - Sitting on the Dock of a Bay. Without their masters and their biggest star, the financial outlook for Stax was bleak, which is how Gulf and Western managed to get a hold of Axton's share of the label and get Stewart to take a back seat role (as well as giving up some of his shares).

There was one point in which it looked like the label might be saved by a distribution deal with CBS, thanks to Clive Davis, but CBS got rid of Davis shortly after he signed the Stax deal, and they never followed through after Davis was gone.

It's fairly astonishing that Gulf and Western allowed the label to go bankrupt at the same time Isaac Hayes came on board, but that is what happened. Stewart and Bell tried frantically to save their label, without help from Gulf and Western and gambled their homes and personal financial future. They lost, and as was previously mentioned, Stewart lost his home when the label went under.

Descarte 2Nd Med Essay Research Paper Tutorial
Descarte 2Nd Med Essay, Research Paper
Tutorial Paper
1. Locate Cogito argument and say how it is supposed to go.
2. Locate 2nd argument and say how it is supposed to go.
Within his second meditation Descartes seeks "to save himself from the general seas of skepticism " (Blackburn, 1999, p 20). In other words he attempts to limit the all-consuming spread of doubt brought about by the evil demon hypothesis. Descartes holds that the Cogito argument establishes this point of certainty, this belief he can be certain is true, even if he is dreaming, or God or an evil demon is trying to deceive him as fully as possible. To be more specific "Cogito, ergo sum," translates to "I think, therefore I am," (Blackburn, 1999, p 20) and this forms the basis of Descartes belief in the certainty that if nothing else, he exists. Following this conclusion Descartes then argues that our clearest perception of ourselves is of ourselves as thinking things. In this paper I will aim to analyze the above two arguments.
The cogito argument is located in the second paragraph of the meditation. Descartes wonders if the doubt can extend even to his own existence. But discovers that even reverting back to the evil demon hypothesis, if he is deceiving me I must exist in order to be deceived. Thus he states "I am, I exist, is necessarily true, every time I express it or conceive it in my own mind." So the premise follows that whenever I am thinking, I will have clear and distinct perception that I am thinking. So Descartes does not claim to know he has existed through time, but only that he exists at the moment of the thought, for the evil demon could have planted false memories. The proposition I am, I exist, doesn't rely on the idea that he is assured that he thinks. He has the view that thinking is self-intimating and all thinking is fully available to consciousness. He also has to defend against the proposition that 'I think, therefore I am,' is privileged over for example a proposition 'I breathe, therefore I am' or 'I walk, therefore I am.' It seems Descartes believes that while the evil demon can make me think falsely that I breathe and walk, but when thinking thoughts that I am aware that I am thinking, I can be confident that I exist.
The point is that it is impossible to doubt the truth of the proposition that 'I exist', when one thinks it.
So now whilst Descartes is faced with the question 'but what kind of thinking thing am I?' This leads me to his second argument which begins in fourth paragraph. Descartes divides up the faculties of the mind into three parts: sensation, perception and imagination. Descartes uses that wax to illustrate that what is essential to the wax is any properties, which I cannot think away, for he looses the top three faculties to the evil demon. Descartes argues that it is the contribution of ones own intellect, of ones understanding or conception, which leads to the inference or idea of the wax. Thinking is my understanding of and response to my perceptions, that it is conception and rationality that will help him off his rock. Thus the idea of clear and distinct perception of conception is assumed and it is this Descartes argue that will help him off his rock. But because Descartes can only count of this perception, he returns to that fact that the only thing he can really know about himself is that he exists as a thinking being.
So in conclusion Descartes through the cogito argument manages to stop the spread of doubt, however in his second argument he is unable to discover any more of himself than that he existed as a thinking thing.

As the world's largest engine manufacturer, Honda has decided to apply a consistent method of rating engine power across all product lines; Auto, Motorcycle and Power Equipment; following the notion of 'Net' power, rather than 'Gross'. We would like to announce to you that Honda will be the first engine manufacturer to rate all general purpose engines at Net kW (Horsepower) in accordance with the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J1349 test procedure. At the same timing we will also change the way of indicating the torque values (also measured with the 'Net' setup), fuel consumption (change from g/kW.hr to L/hr) and fuel tank capacity. Effective for the 2007 model year, Honda kW (HP) specifications for all general purpose engines will be calculated pursuant to SAE J1349 for net power ratings. These net calculations represent changes in the method in which engine power is measured and will result in a change from 2006 published kW (HP) values for individual engine models. Net kW (HP) is calculated with the air cleaner and muffler attached. Gross power calculations are generated without those features. It is important to note that our engines and their power output will be unchanged. Honda has adopted SAE net power calculations in part as a convenience for the many end users that are buying a product 'Powered by Honda'. By standardizing our worldwide engine power ratings in accordance with SAE J1349, everybody in the market will enjoy a consistent value for each of our distinct engine models regardless of country of manufacture or sale. The use of this standard will also allow our customers to more easily determine the suitability of an engine for a particular application. In 2007, Honda will begin to transition all Honda general purpose engines documentation (catalogues, websites, owner's manuals, etc.) to ultimately identify these SAE J1349 ratings where kW (HP) and related values (like torque) are provided. Honda has always been committed to providing our business partners and customers with the highest quality, most reliable and efficient general purpose engines that we can produce. Since no mechanical changes will be made to our general purpose engine line-up in relation to the SAE J1349 ratings, you and your customers can expect the identical levels of power output, quality, durability and performance that you have come to expect from our engine products. Attached table of kW according to SAEJ1349 The power rating of the engine indicated in this table is the net power output tested on a production engine for the engine model and measured in accordance with SAE J1349 at a specified RPM. Mass production engines may vary from this value. Actual power output for the engine installed in the final machine will vary depending on numerous factors, including the operating speed of the engine in application, environmental conditions, maintenance, and other variables.

Samsung Galaxy A8 review: Hands-on
No boot up - new build
I'm putting together a pc for a friend with the following spec:
Sempron 2800 Skt 754
Asus K8N4-E Delux
Sapphire ATi Radeon X300SE 128mb PCI-E
40GB Maxtor 133ATA
2 x 512mb Crucial DDR3200
Antec SLK1650 case supplied with a 350w Antec Smartpower PSU
+5v 35A
+12v 21A
+3.3v +28A
The led light on the board is lit, the case, cpu and chipset fans spin up and there's power to the drive. But no post beep, nothing.
The only thing I can notice that may be untoward is that the board has a 24 pin socket plus the 4 pin 12v, whilst the PSU has a 20 pin plug plus the 4 pin 12v. Would that make any difference? The Asus manual says that if the PSU is powerful enough it should be ok.
They quote "If you intend to use a PSU with 20 pin and 4 pin power plugs, make sure the 20 pin plug can provide at least 15A on the +12V and that the PSU has a minimum output of 350W"
When I look under the sticker that shows 350W and the +5, +12 & 3.3v figures there's two lines of text that say
+5v, +3.3v & +12v combined output 330w
+5v & +3.3v combined output 230w
The symptoms are similar to a pc I put together the other week in that I'd not clicked the 4 pin 12v into the connector properly. But knowing that I have double checked the 4 pin is seated all the way in.
Just a thought about the 20 pin plug on the PSU. Anybody got any thoughts on putting a 20 pin to 24 pin converter on it? I was just thinking of a cheap fix for it I suppose. I've never had any dealings with the converters and don't know anyone who's used one. Or even the down side (if there is one) of using them.
You don't need to actually disconnect the drives, just the power supplies.
Still nothing, only thing that's in is the graphics card and one stick of memory.
I've also taken out the graphics card and reseated it. The light on the monitor just blinks on and off as if it's in standy mode. The pc doesn't even bleep when the graphics card is disconnected.
Comment: It is possible that the 350W power supply does not meet the minimum power requirements of the motherboard. To verify, please check the motherboard's and the video card's power requirements.
Looks like it might have to be one of these click here seeing as my friend wants this pc done on a budget. Seems like a lot of watts for not a lot of £'s
I could be wrong but probably "cheap and nasty".
Have you looked at the price of a decent 400 Watt PSU? Probably about 3 to 4 times the price of the one your link shows.
If you do a search you will see that stated PSU wattage can be somewhat exaggerated by certain suppliers.
I find it incredible that Antec think their 350 watt PSU may not be up to scratch, they are normally well recognized for the quality of their PSUs, I would have thought that a 350 watt PSU would be more than ample for the system you are building, but, you never know.
Yes you're probably right, it could be a bit cheap and nasty. I don't want to go spending to much of his hard earned if it turns out that something else is faulty.
I might go and see what PCW have in their 'brown box' department.
Also does anyone know if the main power connector has to be 24 pin seeing as the motherboard takes a 24 pin. Would that make much difference?
Your PSU does not provide sufficient power. You are seeing less than 9 amps on 12v supply!
You need a supply that is ATX 12V v2.0 compatible.
I would hope so...:-)
I have an nVidia GeForceFX 5200 graphics card. The manual informed me after I had bought it that a PSU of at least 300w and, preferably 350w, was required.
I had to go out and buy a 500w PSU as the one installed (a six-year-old Enermax) was discovered to only be a 100w example.
Yet it had run everything thrown at it without a wobble for all that time...:-)
Proves that quality rather than quantity is an important factor.
>> You need a supply that is ATX 12V v2.0 compatible.>>
Intel published Version 2.01 for this particular ATX specification some eight years ago...:-)
click here
The +12v says that it's 21A? I've just had another look at the unit and it seems it's the first version of the Antec Smartpower. Their site says that it's ATX12v compatible and it seems it's the Smartpower II that's ATX12v 2.0 and has a 24 pin main connecter plus the 4 pin 12v.
This is the link to the case click here and in the main description is says ATX2, yet on the Antec site the PSU is ATX12v not ATX2.
This thread is now locked and can not be replied to.

: Kant Essay, Research Paper
Duty and Reason as the Ultimate Principle: Kant
Kant claims that only actions from duty have moral worth. In other words, actions from motives other than duty deserve no positive moral evaluation. I like and agree with Kant?s view because I believe that a good will makes a good person. I also believe we have all been put on this earth to do our duty. We should do our duty just for duty alone; we should not be concerned about anything else. I will begin by discussing Kant?s distinction between what is good merely as a means to an end and what is intrinsically good, or good in itself.
A good will is not good because of what it accomplishes; it is good through its willing alone. Contrary to some people?s belief, to be healthy, wealthy, or happy does not guarantee that a person is morally praiseworthy. Many people object to this statement because these characteristics are good features of human nature and benefits of a good life. However, they have value only under appropriate conditions, since they may be used either for good or for evil. For example, Hitler had all these characteristics, but he had an ill will. Thus, he was undeniably not a good person. Therefore, these characteristics do not make the possessor a good person.
I will use Bill Gates as another rebuttal to the objection I mentioned earlier. Bill Gates has been the richest man in America for a few years. He undoubtedly has more money than he will ever spend, but just recently has started to donate some of his money to charity. Some people would say he donates money because he has a good will, and, therefore, he is a morally good person. But did Bill Gates really donate money because he had a good will? No, I feel he gave money to charity because of social pressure, not a good will. He would have started donating much earlier if he would have had a good will. However, it wasn?t until he and Microsoft started to get a bad, greedy reputation that he started to donate his money. Therefore, Bill Gates did not donate because of a good will, and is not a morally good person for doing so.
A good will is easily distinguished from one that acts from an indirect inclination, doing the right thing merely as a means to an end, for a selfish purpose. For many people, the difficult thing is to distinguish a good will from a will that has a direct inclination to do something that is right. For instance, it is not surprising that many people think if you are helping others because you have love in your mind, you have moral virtue. However, Kant does not believe this is true. There are people so sympathetically constituted that without any motive of selfishness they find an inner satisfaction in spreading joy and helping others. Many of us look at these people as having moral virtue. I must admit I was one of these people before I understood and took a liking to Kant?s view. To Kant, having a natural inclination to do what coincides with duty is not the same thing as acting from duty. Only if someone acts without any inclination, from the sake of duty alone, does his or her actions have genuine moral worth.
Kant?s moral theory states that actions are morally right in virtue of their motives, which must derive from duty, not inclination. The clearest examples of morally right action are precisely those in which an individual?s determination to act in accordance with duty overcomes his or her evident self-interest and obvious desire to do otherwise. In such a case, Kant argues, the moral value of the action can only reside in a formal principle or "maxim", the general commitment to act in this way because it is one?s duty. Thus, he concludes, "Duty is the necessity to act out of reverence for the law." This brings about an interesting question. What should we do today, if tomorrow is the end of the world? Should we execute all the criminals who are on death row, or would this be a selfish, inappropriate action? Kant would say, and I agree, that if tomorrow is the end of the world, it is our duty to execute all criminals sentenced to death. If we do not, we will not have performed our duty to do so. I do not believe this act is selfish or inappropriate because it is not done out of hate or rage, simply duty. This view to do your duty is commonly used in the military today.
According to Kant, then, the ultimate principle of morality must be a moral law conceived so abstractly that it is capable of guiding us to the right action in application to every possible set of circumstances. So the only relevant feature of the moral law is its generality, the fact that it has the formal property of universalizability, by virtue of which it can be applied at all times to every moral agent. For this chain of reasoning about our ordinary moral concepts, Kant derived as a preliminary statement of moral obligation the notion that right actions are those that practical reason would will as universal law.
A categorical imperative unconditionally demands performance of an action for its own sake; it has the form "Do A." It states, "Act in such a way that the maxim of your will can always become a universal law." That is, each individual agent regards itself as determining, by its decision to act in a certain way, that everyone, including itself, will always act according to the same general rule in the future. I believe this expression of the moral law provides a concrete, practical method for evaluating particular human actions.
Consider, for example, the case of someone who contemplates relieving a financial crisis by borrowing money from someone else, promising to repay it in the future while in fact having no intention of doing so. The maxim of this action would be that it is permissible to borrow money under false intentions if you really need it. But making this maxim into a universal law would be clearly self-defeating. The entire practice of lending money on promise presupposes honest intention to repay; if this condition were universally ignored, the false promises would never be effective as methods of borrowing. Since the universalized maxim is contradictory in and of itself, no one could will it to be law, and Kant concluded that we have a perfect duty not to act in this manner.
Kant supposed that moral obligations arise even when other people are not involved. For example, killing yourself whenever you feel like it could never be a moral rule. It could not be universalizable because everyone would be dead. Since it would be contradictory to universalize the maxim of taking one?s own life if it promises more misery than satisfaction, we have a duty to ourselves not to commit suicide.
Kant offered another categorical imperative stating, "Act in such a way that you always treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of the other, never simply as a means, but always at the same time as an end." This places more emphasis on the unique value of human life as deserving of our ultimate moral respect. This imperative can be applied to the cases I mentioned earlier. For instance, violating a duty by making a false promise (or killing myself) would be to treat another person (or myself) merely as a means for getting money (or avoiding pain), and violating a duty by refusing to offer benevolence (or neglecting my talents) would be a failure to treat another person (or myself) as an end in itself.
In conclusion, only a morally good will makes a morally good person, and only actions from duty have moral worth. Kant?s view has opened my eyes and has inspired me to do my duty in life. He gives people a simple way to evaluate whether their actions are morally good. A person should simply ask himself or herself whether their actions could be universalizable. If they could not be universalizable, then they are not moral.

New to Yoga ?
If you're brand new to yoga, or have never taken a studio class before, not knowing what to expect when you walk in the door, may have you feeling just a little bit nervous.The good news is, we're really friendly , and you only have to take your 'first-ever', yoga class once. So take a deep breath and Relax...., we're here to help guide you every step of the way !
So what is yoga ?
While seemingly a simple question, Yoga is many different things to different people. In fact, if you asked 100 people what yoga is, you'd likely get 100 different answers. That is part of the beauty of yoga – it is a personal practice, and it's meaning comes from you !
I've heard that there are different kinds of Yoga. Do you specialize in a specific "type" ?
While Calgary's Yoga Studio Sarana offers several different "varieties" of yoga, we specialize in Iyengar Yoga, ( where props, such as belts, blocks, and blankets are used as aids in performing "asanas" or "postures"). The props enable students to perform the asanas correctly, thus minimizing the risk of injury and strain, and make the postures accessible to everyone.
Do you offer Beginner classes ?
Absolutely ! For those who are "truly new", and looking for a more gradual, in-depth introduction ( with similar newcomers ), we are very pleased to offer our "Introduction to Yoga" workshop with Lynne Swenson. This monthly, two-hour, registered event is perfect for people brand new to the practice of yoga. It introduces basic alignments, the use of props, and illustrates why Yoga is ideally suited to people of all ages and abilities. Completion of the workshop will all but guarantee your confidence in tackling any of our Level 1 classes.
Do I have to be skinny and flexible to do yoga ?
Not at all ! Anyone can do yoga. Size, shape, physical health, fitness level, age… none of these things matter when it comes to yoga. Yoga is about self-acceptance and working with your body, no matter its' size. In every yoga class you go only as far as you wish, as increased flexibility is a benefit of yoga, not a prerequisite.
What if I have an injury...should I wait until I'm better ?
Nuh-uh! While we recommend that you inform your instructor of your injury, prior to class, hopping on your mat and re-connecting with your body is a great idea ! In fact, we offer therapeutic and restorative classes geared specifically toward helping people with injuries, with the goal of gaining increased flexibility, mobility and strength. Take a moment to browse our Class Descriptions, or call us and ask, as we can help find a practice that's perfect for you.
What should I wear ? Do I need special clothes ?
Nope! All you need is something you can move freely in. It can be pants, or shorts, a t-shirt or a tank. No special shoes are required because yoga is done barefoot. Clean comfy clothes, a towel, a mat, and if you wish, a bottle of water is all you need.
What if I'm a teen, how old do I have to be to practice at Calgary's Yoga Studio Sarana ?
If you're new to our studio, and are under 18, please bring a parent or guardian with you on your first visit so they can sign a waiver. 15 - 18 year olds can practice without a parent present after the waiver has been signed. If you're between 10 - 15 years old, you can still practice with us, but a parent or guardian will need to be present.
OK.....This all sounds really great ! Are there any other rules I should follow ?
While every Yoga Studio is different, much of what you need to know regarding yoga studio "etiquette", was probably already learned in kindergarten ! If however, a refresher course is in order, ( beyond "Cleaning up your own mess" or "Putting things back where you found them" ), then Please visit our Yoga Etiquette 101 page.
