PT KONTAK PERKASA - Tranquil music, pretzel shapes, and gentle candlelight may be the hallmarks of the yoga you're used to, but there’s another more casual style of yoga that includes cursing, beer, and heavy metal you need to know about: Rage Yogathis link opens in a new tab.
PT KONTAK PERKASA - Lindsay Istace, the founder of Rage Yoga, describes it as “alternative yoga for the modern badass." "It's meant to be a different approach to yoga for those who find their peaceful center in a different way," she says. The practice "involves a little bit of extra chaos and a sense of humor," she says. Think: war cries, heavy metal guitar riffs, occasional dirty jokes, f-bombs, and yes, even drinking. It’s definitely a vibe. PT KONTAK PERKASA - The goal? To make you feel like an empowered badass, to work through what's holding you back, and to become a more resilient person, Istace explains in a video on the Rage Yoga websitethis link opens in a new tab. Basically, it’s the yoga equivalent of plugging in your headphones, pressing play on Beyoncé's "Flawless," cranking the volume all the way up, and strutting your damn stuff up Fifth Avenue. (Just me?) As for the actual, you know, yoga part, Istace tells Health that the flow itself incorporates traditional yoga postures and breathing with alternative principles, and the intensity and difficulty depends on the instructor and class. Speaking of the instructors: All of the Rage Yoga instructors have completed a Rage Yoga certification programthis link opens in a new tab and also have completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training. “No matter what you can expect an awesome soundtrack, the opportunity for some emotional release, and to walk out feeling a little more badass,” Istace says. Is Rage Yoga healthy?While it might sound like the opposite of soothing, according to psychotherapist Courtney Glashow, LCSW, founder of Anchor Therapythis link opens in a new tab in Hoboken, New Jersey, cursing actually can allow for an emotional release. “In the right setting, I believe that cursing can be therapeutic because it can allow us to let our anger out, we can use specific words to express ourselves.” In fact, research has shown there are actually some health benefits of swearing. But, Glashow says, cursing isn't always a good thing. “It’s important to know the difference between using curses to express your feelings versus cursing and yelling and losing control to a point that others around you are concerned for your and their safety.” If you know you have anger issues or you’re going to Rage Yoga as an excuse to really unleash, you may be facing a larger problem and you might benefit from the help of a mental health professional, Glashow says. The good news is that Istace says she’s never had someone in class lose control, nor has she ever had to talk to anyone about which swear words they use. “There are words that aren't allowed. Any language that puts other people or groups down is not acceptable,” she says. “It’s been a non-issue because we do tend to attract a really open, light-hearted, and accepting group of people.” Source : health.com
