1) Why yoga student should know about “anatomy and physiology”
An understanding of anatomy is key for the safety and development of your students. Integrating this knowledge can encourage injury prevention and facilitate the healing process.
2) Function of diaphragm in respiration.
Upon inhalation, the diaphragm contracts and flattens and the chest cavity enlarges. This contraction creates a vacuum, which pulls air into the lungs. Upon exhalation, the diaphragm relaxes and returns to its domelike shape, and air is forced out of the lungs.

We must exhale before forward bending asanas.
4) What is the breathing pattern we should adopt for backward bending asana?

6) Explain about slow twitch muscle fiber (type -1), with respective hatha yoga style.
Slow-twitch muscle fibers have high concentrations of mitochondria and myoglobin. Although they are smaller than the fast-twitch fibers, they are surrounded by more capillaries (1,2). This combination supports aerobic metabolism and fatigue resistance, particularly important for prolonged submaximal (aerobic) exercise activities. Like doing Ashtanga yoga.
7) Explain about Fast twitch muscle fiber (type -2), with hatha yoga practices.
Typically, these have lower concentrations of mitochondria, myoglobin, and capillaries compared to our slow-twitch fibers, which means they are quicker to fatigue (1,2). These larger-sized fibers are also produce a greater and quicker force, an important consideration for power activities (1,2). Like practice of power yoga
8) Explain Aerobic hatha yoga
Slow and moderate practice with enough breathing gap for the muscles like practicing ashtanga yoga, helps burn fat and improve flexibility.
9) Explain anaerobic hatha yoga.
Practices like power yoga have no gap in between the practice for the muscles to breathe
increasing strength and endurance to muscles to counter fatigue.
10) Define Isometric Contraction

11) Define Isotonic Contraction
By definition, isotonic exercise occurs when the tension or torque generated by the muscle is constant throughout the movement.

22) What is cardiac output? How it is calculated.
Cardiac output is the volume of blood the heart pumps per minute. Cardiac output is calculated by multiplying the stroke volume by the heart rate. … If a patient’s stroke volume is 75 mL with each contraction and his heart rate is 60 beats/minute, his cardiac output is 4,500 mL/minute (or 4.5 L/minute).
23) Define hypertension and hypotension.
Hypotension is the opposite of hypertension, which is high blood pressure. It is best understood as a physiological state rather than a disease. Severely low blood pressure can deprive the brain and other vital organs of oxygen and nutrients, leading to a life-threatening condition called shock.
24) Mention the factors affecting blood pressure.

●Cardiac output.
●Peripheral vascular resistance.
●Volume of circulating blood.
●Viscosity of blood.
●Elasticity of vessels walls.
25) What is Sympathetic nervous system, correlate with hatha yoga practices and its benefits?
The sympathetic nervous system directs the body’s rapid involuntary response to dangerous or stressful situations. A flash flood of hormones boosts the body’s alertness and heart rate, sending extra blood to the muscles. The Practice of yoga asanas and pranayama help balance the nerve impulse and resist it without causing emotional pain.
26) What is Parasympathetic nervous system, correlate with asana practice and its benefits?
The parasympathetic nervous system predominates in quiet “rest and digest” conditions while the sympathetic nervous system drives the “fight or flight” response in stressful situations. The main purpose of the PNS is to conserve energy to be used later and to regulate bodily functions like digestion and urination. The practice of yoga can help balance the secretion of hormones and other body functions caused by parasympathetic system.

Rotation of the hand and forearm so that the palm faces backwards or downwards. Like down dog pose where the palms are pressed down the mat.

Movement of a body part to the side is called lateral flexion. For example, when you move your head toward one of your shoulders or bend your body sideways, you’re performing a lateral flexion.
32) Explain term Medial rotation (internal rotation), in compare with asana movement.
This movement is sometimes referred to as internal rotation because the motion is inward toward the body’s central vertical axis. An example of medial rotation is turning the legs at the hip so that the toes point toward one another.
33) Write about Endorphin theory
They found that the body has special receptors that bind to opioids to block pain signals. The scientists then realized that some chemicals in the body acted similarly to natural opioid medications, binding to these same receptors. These chemicals were endorphins.
34) Write about the gate theory of pain
The gate control theory of pain describes how non-painful sensations can override and reduce painful sensations. A painful, nociceptive stimulus stimulates primary afferent fibers and travels to the brain via transmission cells. Increasing activity of the transmission cells results in increased perceived pain.
35) Write about Active Static Stretching, an explain about with related hatha yoga style practice.
Active stretching is also referred to as static-active stretching . An active stretch is one where you assume a position and then hold it there with no assistance other than using the strength of your agonist muscles. Like in Forward bending we stretch our back thigh muscles.
36) Write about Isometric Stretching, an explain about with related hatha yoga style practice
Isometric exercises are contractions of a particular muscle or group of muscles. During isometric exercises, the muscle doesn’t noticeably change length and the affected joint doesn’t move. Isometric exercises help maintain strength. They can also build strength, but not effectively. Like performing extended leg supine poses.
37) Define Reciprocal Inhibition
Reciprocal inhibition describes the relaxation of muscles on one side of a joint to accommodate contraction on the other side.
38) Define Golgi Tendon Organ (GTO)
GTOs are nerve receptors that monitor muscle tension and if they detect excessive load or stretch, they will cause your muscle to relax so you do not tear a tendon or muscle. When applied during treatment, with firm pressure for 30 seconds, your muscles relax to reduce tone and spasm.

I came to Bangalore to follow a 10 day private teacher training with Karuna, and it was a truly enriching experience.
I already hold a 200 h TTC in Hatha Yoga, as well as other diplomas. However, through my own experience, I feel that … More a 200 h yoga training is not enough to fully grasp the bigger picture of what yoga truly is. What I deeply appreciated with Karuna is that he also offers trainings focused on specific subjects, allowing for a much deeper and more embodied understanding.
For this private yoga training, I chose to explore mudras, mantras, and somatics. Being able to dive deeply into these themes helped me clarify and understand other aspects of yoga more clearly, not only intellectually, but also through direct experience, guided by Karuna.
The one to one format is a real gift. It creates space to ask questions, to slow down, and to spend more time on areas that personally need deeper integration. Karuna also shares related knowledge and encourages dialogue with what you are learning, making the whole process very alive and meaningful.
I truly appreciate how Karuna offers many different subjects and learning formats, and how he adapts his teaching to each person. His approach is attentive, sensitive, and respectful of individual paths.
Another beautiful aspect is that during the weekend, group students join the classes. Karuna skillfully manages to continue our individual learning while also allowing a collective learning experience. This opens the learning in a different and enriching way.
I had a wonderful time, and I will very likely continue other trainings with Karuna, either online (which is also an option 😉) or in Bangalore.
