Effective Teaching in a Virtual Space: Tips for Online Yoga TTC Instructors

In today’s digital age, the world of education is undergoing a significant transformation, and Yoga Teacher Training Courses (TTC) are no exception. With the rise of online learning platforms, teaching yoga has transcended the boundaries of physical studios and ashrams. As a result, yoga instructors are faced with the challenge of adapting their teaching methods to the virtual space. In this article, we will explore some valuable tips for online Yoga TTC instructors to ensure that they provide effective and engaging instruction.

  1. Embrace Technology and Platforms

To excel as an online yoga TTC instructor, you must first become comfortable with the technology and platforms you will be using. Familiarize yourself with video conferencing tools, online learning management systems, and virtual classroom settings. Ayushman Yog, a pioneer in online yoga education, offers user-friendly interfaces and support to help instructors navigate the virtual environment seamlessly.

  1. Set Clear Learning Objectives

Effective online instruction begins with well-defined learning objectives. Clearly outline what students will achieve by the end of each session or module. This clarity helps students understand the purpose of each lesson and stay motivated throughout their online TTC journey. Ayushman Yog’s curriculum is thoughtfully structured, with specific learning outcomes for each module, ensuring students are always aware of their progress.

  1. Foster Interaction and Engagement

Engagement can be a challenge in the virtual space, but it is crucial for effective learning. Encourage student interaction through virtual discussions, forums, and peer collaboration. Ayushman Yog provides discussion boards and chat features to facilitate student-teacher and student-student interactions. Share your passion for yoga and create an inclusive virtual community to keep your students engaged.

  1. Adapt to Individual Learning Styles

Recognize that your students may have different learning styles. Some may be visual learners, while others are more auditory or kinesthetic. Tailor your teaching approach to accommodate these variations. Ayushman Yog offers a variety of learning resources, including video lectures, written materials, and practical demonstrations, to cater to diverse learning preferences.

  1. Provide Regular Feedback

Feedback is a crucial aspect of online instruction. Offer constructive feedback on students’ progress, assignments, and assessments. Ayushman Yog’s instructors have a feedback mechanism in place, enabling them to provide timely guidance and support to students as they navigate their yoga TTC journey.

  1. Create Engaging Content

In the virtual classroom, content is king. Develop engaging and informative materials, including videos, presentations, and interactive quizzes. Ayushman Yog’s courses feature professionally produced content that combines traditional teachings with modern instructional methods, enhancing the overall learning experience.

  1. Maintain a Consistent Schedule

Consistency is key when it comes to online instruction. Establish a regular class schedule or module release schedule, and stick to it. This helps students plan their study time effectively. Ayushman Yog’s structured course calendars make it easy for both instructors and students to stay on track.

  1. Lead by Example

As an online Yoga TTC instructor, you are not only teaching yoga but also embodying its principles. Lead by example and demonstrate the values of discipline, mindfulness, and self-care. Ayushman Yog encourages its instructors to practice what they teach, fostering authenticity and inspiration in the learning process.

  1. Share Real-World Examples

Incorporate real-world examples and case studies into your teaching. Ayushman Yog instructors often share stories of their own yoga journeys and how yoga has positively impacted their lives. These personal anecdotes add depth and relatability to the lessons, inspiring students on their own paths.

In conclusion, teaching yoga online in a TTC context presents both opportunities and challenges. However, with the right approach and the support of platforms like Ayushman Yog, instructors can create a meaningful and effective virtual learning experience. By embracing technology, setting clear objectives, fostering interaction, adapting to individual needs, and maintaining consistency, online yoga TTC instructors can empower their students to embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and growth.

Dr Vivek Gaur Introduces a New Treatment Option for Nonunion Mandibular Fractures

Dr Vivek Gaur Introduces a New Treatment Option for Nonunion Mandibular Fractures

Dr Vivek Gaur, a distinguished figure in the field of Oromaxillofacial Surgery, has made a significant contribution to the Annals of Maxillofacial Surgery, a leading journal in the field. His innovative work on a new treatment option for nonunion mandibular fractures has been published in the 2022 issue of the journal.

Dr Gaur, who is associated with Jaipur Dental College, Maharaj Vinayak Global University, Jaipur, has co-authored the paper titled “Management of Mandibular Nonunion Fracture with Single-Piece Implant – A Case Report”. The paper presents a unique treatment approach for noninfected hypertrophic, horse hoof nonunion edentulous mandible with Luhr class 1 fracture.

The technique, which involves the use of single-piece corticobasal jaw implants, has shown promising results. After two years, complete unification of the fracture line and callus adaptation was observed. This new method is expected to enhance the success rate of treating nonunion mandibular fractures and improve patient outcomes.

A detailed explanation of the paper “Management of Mandibular Nonunion Fracture with Single-Piece Implant – A Case Report” by Dr Vivek Gaur and his team:

Introduction: The paper begins with a discussion on the challenges of treating fractures, particularly nonunion fractures. It introduces the classification of mandible atrophy and nonunion fractures. The authors propose a new treatment option for noninfected hypertrophic, horse hoof nonunion edentulous mandible with Luhr class 1 fracture.

Case Report: The paper presents a case of a 55-year-old completely edentulous male patient with a fracture of the right side body of the mandible due to trauma. The patient complained of pain while attempting to keep his mouth wide open. A nonunion of the fracture on the right side of the body of the mandible was observed. The patient was advised a unique treatment option to have a functional fixed immediate restoration supported by single-piece implants.

Procedure: The procedure involved the placement of 10 BECES® (SIMPLADENT, GmbH, Switzerland) corticobasal single-piece jaw implants in the maxilla and eight implants in the mandible. The implants were placed without raising a flap, engaging double pterygoids bilaterally. A postoperative panorama was taken to check the implant placement. The same day after the implant placement, an impression was made with stock metal trays on pickup impression caps supplied along with implants by polyvinyl additional silicon putty impression material.

Prosthesis: The next day, a semipermanent metal to acrylic material hybrid prosthesis was cemented over the implant abutment by resin- modified glass ionomer permanent cement. The prosthesis of both jaws was fabricated sanitary at intaglio surface posteriorly and anteriorly modified ridge lap.

Results: After two years, a panorama was taken, and complete unification of the fracture line and callus adaptation was observed. The patient’s lower jaw was shifted back to its original position, i.e., toward the right, maintaining the facial midline. Increased mouth opening without any pain was observed.

Discussion: The paper discusses the benefits of single-piece bicortical implants and how they have been in function for a long period. The authors explain how implants, when placed surgically, create trauma, resulting in an increase in microcracks leading to a spurt in remodeling at the site, which progresses over the jaw and of hyperplastic callus leading to ossification and maturation of callus.

Conclusion: The paper concludes by stating that for the first time ever, a nonunion fracture has been treated successfully by implants following an immediate functional loading protocol. Furthermore, the complaint of discomfort and pain was addressed and treated with success.

References: The paper includes an extensive list of references, indicating a thorough review of the existing literature and a solid grounding in previous research.

Dr Gaur’s work is a testament to his commitment to advancing the field of Oromaxillofacial Surgery. His innovative approach and dedication to research have been instrumental in pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the field.

Dr Gaur’s work can be accessed in the Annals of Maxillofacial Surgery’s 2022 issue, available on the journal’s official website at https://journals.lww.com/aoms/.

For further information or to schedule an interview with Dr Vivek Gaur, please contact him at drvivekgaur@yahoo.co.in.

Dr Vivek Gaur is a leading figure in the field of Oromaxillofacial Surgery. He is currently associated with the Department of Oromaxillofacial Surgery at Jaipur Dental College, Maharaj Vinayak Global University, and Jaipur. Dr Gaur’s research and clinical work have significantly contributed to the advancement of Oromaxillofacial Surgery, particularly in the area of implant techniques.

Tax Tsunami Sweeps Betting Giants Off Indian Shores: 7Cric Steadfast Amid Turmoil

Tax Tsunami Sweeps Betting Giants Off Indian Shores: 7Cric Steadfast Amid Turmoil

Online Gambling Stricture: A Prelude

The recent tax increase in India from 18% to 28% on Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) has led to significant challenges for online gaming companies operating in the country. This tax hike was announced by the Indian government, aiming to impose a 28% tax on the funds that online gaming companies collect from their customers. This move is viewed as a considerable setback to the $1.5 billion industry, which had been gaining popularity and attracting foreign investments.

The increased tax rate has been met with disapproval from industry representatives, who foresee a detrimental impact on their earnings, with the likelihood of extra charges being passed on to customers. The new tax regime poses substantial challenges to the gaming industry’s cash flow and has been termed as “unconstitutional” and “irrational” by some stakeholders like Roland Landers, CEO of The All India Gaming Federation. Before this amendment, companies were taxed a smaller amount on the fees they charged for offering real money games. The new tax structure now imposes a 28% tax on the entire amount collected from players in every game, which is a significant jump from the previous tax regime.

The Exodus: Bet365 and Betway Bid Adieu

The exit of Bet365 and Betway from the Indian market has sent ripples through the gambling industry, underscoring the broader challenges operators face in the country. The core reason for their exit was the 28% GST implemented on offshore gambling companies, which is a significant jump from the previous 18% tax on gross gaming revenue. This tax increase is seen as a substantial burden for many betting companies, making the Indian market less attractive. Their exit might set a precedent for other operators eyeing the exit door, anticipating a ripple effect in the industry.

The companies cited the recent tax hike from 18% to 28% on gross gaming revenue as a pivotal factor in their decision, stating that it significantly impacted the viability of their operations in India. Here are the implications of their exit on the industry and users:

Legislative Ambiguity: Beyond taxation, the legislative environment in India also poses challenges. The amendment to the country’s Information and Technology Act 2000, which facilitated the tax hike, coupled with varying state laws on online betting, creates a murky regulatory landscape for operators​3​.

Loss of Major Players: Bet365 and Betway were notable entities in the Indian gambling scene. Their exit could lead to a vacuum, potentially affecting the market’s competitiveness and the options available to bettors.

Impact on Users: The exit of these major players could limit the options available to Indian bettors. Furthermore, if more companies follow suit, this could further reduce the choices available to local gamblers.

Potential Reduction in Innovation and Investment: With major players exiting, there could be a reduction in the level of innovation and investment in the Indian gambling market. These companies not only provided competition but also brought in new gaming technologies and marketing investments that benefited the industry.

Negative Signal to Other Operators: The exit of Bet365 and Betway might send a negative signal to other international gambling operators considering entering the Indian market. The high taxation and complex regulatory environment could deter them.

Increased Scrutiny on Remaining Operators: With the exit of these reputable operators, there might be increased scrutiny on the remaining operators, especially concerning adherence to regulatory requirements and tax obligations.

Looking Forward: An Uncertain Horizon

The exit of key players casts a long shadow on the future of online gambling in India. While some operators might find the Indian market high-risk, others might see an opportunity to fill the void, provided they can weather the tax storm.

What’s Next?
