Insider Secrets to Marketing Your Yoga Teaching Service, Part 2

Natural Search engine ranking presence, on multiple keywords, also requires significant knowledge of Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Although you are a Yogi, you should look at SEO as a hobby because good and reputable SEO experts cost big money.

Therefore, stay away from SEO services that will get you ranked with 12,000 search engines for $9.95. Those services will usually get your yoga website blacklisted, if they continuously submit every month. The search engines just ignore your continuous submissions as SPAM. If you want to save significant money, and do some of it yourself, buy a book which explains SEO in simplistic terms.

One last point to bring up about SEO: There are only a few search engines that you really need to submit to. Start with these: Google, Yahoo, AOL, MSN, Ask, Netscape, dog Pile, and Alta Vista.

The above-mentioned eight search engines receive over 90% of all the traffic on the internet. Currently, Google easily gets more than half of all the Internet traffic. Some statistics claim that Google gets over 75% of all the web traffic.

Yes, there are thousands of other search engines, but what is their geographic reach? Many of them are specialized search engines for a particular country or language. If you have a local yoga studio, do you have to be listed in a search engine on the other side of the planet? For example: Lets say you teach Yoga in a suburb of Denver, Colorado and are listed in a Korean search engine. Thats nice, but I doubt you will get any walk-ins, from that listing, in your next yoga class.

Pay-per-click campaigns can get your yoga business a space on the front page of most search engines. Google has more than half of all the internet traffic, so their Adwords program, alone, is worth looking into for a start.

Heres an idea: Start your yoga web site, or Blog, ASAP (as soon as possible!), keep it running, and expand when you grow. Do not get hung up on perfection; thats what causes procrastination. If we did that in yoga, none of us would become Yoga teachers.

I dont care if youre teaching Yoga in a cellar, barn, loft, garage, in the woods, at the beach, or just thinking about it. People wont know you are a Yoga teacher, if you dont announce it.

How to Maximize Your Glutes and Burn Fat

I have been in the fitness game for some time now. One question I get asked a lot is how to get a nice butt and lose fat. When I give the person the answer I usually get a shocked look. most people believe you need to do a lot of cardio work and some light weights to achieve this. On the contrary, you need to perform the exact opposite. When we think of a group of people with nice glutes and low body fat, many of times we think of celebrities and elite athletes. If I were to say which group maintains the look the best, your answer better be athletes. most celebrities go on and off of ridiculous diets and hunger strikes. They may look nice for a few movies, but for the most part of their lives they are either anorexic or holding excess loads of fat. Athletes like sprinters, volleyball players, soccer players and speed skaters have a great set of glutes and low bodyfat that last for much of their lives, even after their competitive years, with little maintenance. now, these athletes, and many other athletes like them, will train with high intensity (more specifically heavier weight), great speed and power. through their training they are able to gain low body fat and great glutes. The funny thing is that is not the objective of their training, just a great bonus.

So, to gain both of these goals at the same time we need to weight train with enough weight that our bodies grow stronger and gain muscle mass. Also, we will need to incorporate high intensity bouts of cardio energy system training. So, walking on a treadmill with cute little pink dumbbells aint gonna cut it. I already know plenty of people are turned off just from the idea of gaining muscle mass. Well, nice glutes are firm and hold a great deal of muscle. Trust me, making glutes smaller is just going to make you look pretty bad in any pants, shorts or bathing suit you wear. Another big bonus is muscle is thermogenic and metabolically driven by nature. Lay mans terms you burn optimal fat and keep it off. That is an incentive enough for anyone to get busy and weight train properly. What I am going to do is outline a sample program for fat loss and glute toning. Add this to your regiment and give it a try. If you are not on a regiment, you need to stop wasting time and get on one. The only way to see results with anything is through consistency, frequency, and variation. before trying any program make sure you are assessed and know where you stand physically. In other words, you are going to be the one who makes your bed and the one who has to sleep in it. Enough of my ranting here is the program:

Day 1:
1. Box Squats (box should be a little below the knees 90 degree bend) 4x15
2. Depth Jumps (off of the same box) 4x10
3. DB Lateral Lunges 3x16
4. Farmers Walks 2x3laps
Use supersets on the first two exercises and rest for two minutes between sets. The weight needs to be heavy enough so you can just make it to the required reps.

Day 2:

Perform sprints in an open field or soft track
1. Mid Speed Sprint for 90seconds rest for 1 minute
2. Mid speed sprint for 30 seconds for five sets rest for 3 minutes and repeat

Day 3:
Rest

Day 4:
1. Jumping Squats 2x50
2. walking (body weight) Back Lunges 2x20
3. Stiff Leg Deadlift 2x50
4. Jumping Mule Kicks 2x10
Superset exercises 1 and 2, then rest for 3 minutes. Superset exercises 3 and 4 and rest for 2 minutes.

Day 5:
Plyometric Drills and Sprints:
1. High Jumps 1x20
2. Speed Skater Lateral Jumps 1x20
3. High Skips (A-skip) 10x to High speed sprint 10sec. Repeat 10 times

This is just a sample of what a serious training regiment will look like. Remember the key here is to really give it your all and do not skip out on proper technique.

Good luck
