The importance of a good morning routine
Most people have their own set morning routines; some good, some not so good. Some of these routines, of course, are not the best.

Do you wake up in the morning with a buzzing alarm and say 'here we go again'? Perform a hectic morning routine before leaving the house and rush off to work on 3 cups of coffee? This is not really an ideal way to start your day.

So if you happened to join the course in Manchester (and of course, they would love to see you here) what they don’t want is that you wake up at 6 a.m., have to run down to start a 2-hour intensive yoga class at 6:30 a.m. or 7 a.m. on an empty stomach. After the class has finished then rush back to your room, shower change, and run down to breakfast before it closes at 10 a.m.

In real life you wouldn’t do this nor would your yoga students when they attend your morning class. This is not the most useful or pleasant way to start your day. Your body and mind are already under stress from all of your new stimuli.

First 2 days-syndrome is a very common phenomenon
What they have found is that during these morning sessions which can be in some RYS’s be up to two and a half hours long. If the teacher is talking too much, the large majority of the students are not physically or mentally prepared to be immersed in this completely different environment. This results in low energy, low concentration, mood swings, jet lag issues, self-doubt, low motivation, hunger pains, blaming complaining, and heightened desire to quit amongst others. True!

They have witnessed firsthand and talked to their fellow yoga students about this 2 days-syndrome during their RYT 200 hours course design workshops.

The results of such extreme changes in your routines such as different diets, new roommates, new sleeping patterns, physical intensity, and information overload can lead to meltdowns and higher injury occurrences in the first 2 days. This results in low-class participation by day 3. It is the enjoyment and enthusiasm that you feel or lack during your first week that impacts upon your subsequent days.

Remember that 7 days is over in a flash
You need to pace yourself as your yoga teacher training course is not a sprint, there’s no reward for coming first. You all cross the line at the same time.

Be happy, healthy, and ready for what’s next with an open arm embrace. The teacher training is a yoga teacher training, it is not a military style boot camp.

During your yoga teacher training, they would much rather prefer that you start your day by harmonizing your mind and body and being comfortable with your environment. Sure, maybe wake up a little earlier. Feel fresh; eat something nice on your balcony, or by the pool. Catch some sun, chat with new friends, enjoy the start of your day and be ready for a morning yoga session after you have eaten, not before.

You already know your own eating habits regarding how long before a class you should eat. Maybe 1 hour before or 40 minutes before depending upon what you eat.

But you would definitely not take a new intensive 2-hour yoga class at 6 a.m., immediately after waking up, rushing off, and on an empty stomach. What they don’t want you to do is to start your morning yoga session on an empty stomach. It is not safe, it is not real life, and it does not make any good health sense.

It is from this new-day-start-routine that you will feel ready and properly prepared to take on any 2-hour yoga meditation session.

A morning session of yoga practice is an exciting time and there is much to learn, take in, and absorb. The first 2 days especially is physically and mentally demanding and it makes a lot of sense to them that you turn up to your morning yoga session, feeling fresh, happy, and energized.

With this kind of morning preparation, you are much more likely to enjoy, participate, learn, and excel in all areas of your well-being and yoga practice. This new approach to your day is something that you will learn, embrace, and can replicate when you return home.

It is important during the intensive 6 nights that you do not get introduced to a too drastic or artificially intensive yoga environment. Student problems always manifest during the first 2 days. Especially if it’s your first time abroad, away from family, friends, and new environments. If new environment changes are too dramatic, then problems are magnified.

During your 2 days syndrome, issues or other things pop up and there is no refuge when you need some quiet self-time away.

As you can see they care about your welfare
They are different. They treat you like adults and make the courses as close to real-life as possible. They would like your transition back to life at home an easy one, taking with you your good new habits, making your next life step enjoyable and rewarding.

Yoga is a process, it is not fixed and firm
There may be some last-minute changes during each day to times and session programs. This is just a replication of real life and as a yoga teacher, there will always be hopefully last-minute requests for you to jump in and teach a class.

As you start to teach there might also be a last-minute class cancellation that you need to be prepared for and not worry about.

This is yoga. It is your ability to just flow with your day that will contribute to you becoming a truly great yoga teacher.


Hot yoga has continued to boom
One of the reasons for the latest renaissance of Hot yoga is due to the fact the Harvard University recently published their research confirming "The Tremendous Benefits of Hot Yoga In Reducing Symptoms Of Depression." in Harvard University, "Heated Hot Yoga May Reduce Depression Symptoms" (PMID: 37883245).

A study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry conducted a randomized controlled trial with 80 adults, comparing those who participated in Bikram yoga sessions in a 105 degrees Fahrenheit room to a waitlist control group.

Over 8 weeks, the yoga group attended an average of 10.3 classes, leading to significantly greater reductions in depressive symptoms compared to the control group.

Assessments using the Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (IDS-CR) scale showed that 59.3% of yoga participants experienced a 50% or greater decrease in symptoms, and 44% reached remission, compared to only 6.3% in the waitlist group. Even those attending only half the prescribed sessions saw benefits, suggesting once-weekly sessions could be effective.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a type of depression linked to seasonal changes, often starting in fall and lasting through winter. Symptoms like low energy and moodiness usually resolve in spring and summer. SAD can also occur in spring or summer, subsiding in fall or winter.

Hot yoga for SAD:
Hot yoga, performed in a heated room (105 degrees Fahrenheit with 40% humidity), may help alleviate SAD symptoms:

Heat exposure: Mimics sunlight, boosting serotonin and endorphin production to enhance mood
Exercise and neurotransmitter balance: Releases endorphins and boosts serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine for mood regulation
Mental health benefits: Reduces cortisol levels, lowering stress and anxiety and promotes relaxation through mindfulness and deep breathing
Physiological and emotional well-being: Improves sleep patterns and aids detoxification, enhancing overall well-being

Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs):
HSPs are crucial for cellular health, responding to stressors like heat, and aiding in protein maintenance. Dr. Rhonda Patrick's research highlights heat stress benefits on HSPs, suggesting that hot yoga or sauna use can:

Enhance cellular health
Support neuroprotection
Reduce stress
Aid muscle recovery
Benefit cardiovascular health
Strengthen the immune system
Hot yoga and sauna sessions stimulate HSP production, promoting overall well-being and health.

Especially if it’s your first time abroad, away from family, friends, and new environments. If new environment changes are too dramatic, then problems are magnified.

Many yoga teacher training courses are quite often in remote, isolated locations, the middle of the Bali jungle for example. You absolutely have no choice, nowhere to go, when the food problems and other issues come to the surface.
