Deaf gym classes believed to be an australian first, then later developed into a New Zealand style of therapy in 1994.
A recent article by one of New Zealand’s leading trainers, Professor David Williams who has been teaching a deaf yoga class for the past 15 years, revealed a new method of yoga that incorporates deafness training in tandem with auditory sensitivity training.
For one week, they practice both sides of the body in a three-act sequence before heading back to work. As the group is allowed to wear headphones while in the class, this practice provides a completely distinct and unique experience for all participants.
“We all understand what is going on,” says Professor Williams.
“The idea that there is some kind of magical connection between hearing and movement of one kind or another is as ludicrous as it is ridiculous,” he says.

“But there is a special effect we had, particularly if the sound was loud as it was with t카지노 사이트he loudest, the worst vibrational sounds like whistling or other loud vibrational sounds.
“So the effect is to turn you into someone who could hear the vibrations of sound coming out of your back. So that becomes real.
“The first session we did two minutes and fifteen seconds was amazing and for people who think that when they’re doing yoga what they are doing is a kind of meditation that’s in there that’s not reagospelhitzl. It’s real vibrational, it’s like a voice or a thought that you just feel and it’s not anything else, it’s real.”
Another session sees the “Silent Dance” training taught to a group of women who are all at the same stage as th
