Content: For self and society: International Yoga Day, 2024

This year marks an important milestone as we celebrate the 10th edition of International Yoga Day in Ghana and worldwide.

Yoga has become a global movement promoting health and well-being.

In Ghana, a series of events were organised by the High Commission of India this month in collaboration with Yoga centres and local authorities in different parts of the country, including Ho, Kumasi and Tamale, besides Accra.

These events witnessed active involvement of diverse sections of society in public places, schools, universities and rehabilitation centres, aimed at spreading awareness of the multifaceted benefits of Yoga.

The High Commission of India celebrated the signature event in Accra on the lawns of Osu Castle on June 22, 2024, with the participation of political dignitaries, members of diplomatic corps, UN staff and Yoga enthusiasts from various walks of life.

Yoga, a timeless treasure from ancient Indian culture, is a unique practice that goes beyond physical exercise.

It offers a path to discovering the true essence of life. The term ‘Yoga’ is derived from the Sanskrit root ‘Yuj,’ which means ‘to join’ or ‘to yoke’ or ‘to unite.’ It symbolises the union of individual consciousness with universal consciousness, signifying a perfect balance between the mind and body, man and nature.

Practice

The practice of Yoga transcends geographical boundaries, making it a universal heritage of humanity.  Recognising Yoga’s global appeal, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution by consensus on December 11, 2014, at India’s initiative, declaring June 21 as the International Day of Yoga.

The theme for International Day of Yoga celebration this year was ‘Yoga for Self and Society.’ For society at large, Yoga brings harmony among communities and nature, thereby creating an interconnected tapestry of well-being for individuals around the world.

It serves as a bridge between individuals and society. The practice of Yoga is not only limited to asanas (physical postures), which are the most popular - but also includes pranayama (breathing) and dhyana (meditation).

By integrating these three aspects, Yoga harmonises the body, mind, and spirit. Asanas are a preparatory process that helps the body sustain higher energy levels.

The process begins with the body, then the breath, the mind and the inner self. Yoga cultivates inner peace, clarity of thought and resilience, creating a solid foundation for well-being.

The therapeutic benefits of Yoga extend to reducing stress, improving cardiovascular health, boosting immunity and fostering mental well-being.

Ayurveda

Complementing Yoga is Ayurveda, the world’s oldest healing system. The emphasis of Ayurveda on holistic health, disease prevention, and individualised treatments resonates deeply with a global audience. Ayurveda’s personalised approach to wellness has gained international recognition.

Towards harnessing its full potential, a dedicated Ministry of AYUSH was set up in India in 2014 with a vision of reviving the profound knowledge of our ancient systems of medicine and ensuring their optimal development and holistic health care.

The Ministry of AYUSH has also entered into an Agreement with the World Health Organisation (WHO) to support the integration of evidence-based Traditional and Complementary Medicine in national health systems, biodiversity conservation, and the sustainability of medicinal plants.

There are good prospects for cooperation between India and Ghana in areas of complementary medicine, and we are exploring ways to strengthen this partnership.

Health

In today’s fast-paced world, where stress, sedentary lifestyles, and the relentless pursuit of quick fixes dominate our well-being, we must realise that our health is not a commodity.
Health is priceless, and there is a pressing need for comprehensive well-being. A growing trend is visible toward back-to-basics, mindfulness, and a sustainable way of life.

The Indian heritage of Yoga and Ayurveda hold the key to unlocking a healthier and more balanced world.

Prime Minister Modi has poignantly said, “India would contribute to this healthy trend with new ideas, some rooted in traditional knowledge, and others in 21st-century innovation, as a Vishwabandhu, a friend to the world, for greater global good”.

It is heartening to see that people in Ghana are increasingly embracing Yoga.

International Yoga Day 2024: Effects Of Laughter Yoga On Mental Health

Human connection is vital for mental health, and laughter yoga excels in building and strengthening social bonds. The group setting of laughter yoga sessions encourages participants to interact, share joy, and build a sense of community.

Laughter yoga, which involves intentional laughter, offers many benefits. It boosts well-being, reduces stress, improves relationships, and builds social connections. The exercises help people relax, have fun, and enjoy laughing again. Chittrah Kanal, a yoga expert on coto shares the effects of laughter yoga on mental health.

Improved Mood

For those struggling with depression, laughter yoga offers a natural and effective remedy. The practice stimulates the release of serotonin, a neurotransmitter associated with mood regulation. Increased serotonin levels can alleviate depressive symptoms and enhance overall mood. Participants often report feeling lighter, happier, and more optimistic after a laughter yoga session. Furthermore, the act of laughing itself can distract from negative thought patterns, providing temporary relief from depressive states.

Social Engagement

Human connection is vital for mental health, and laughter yoga excels in building and strengthening social bonds. The group setting of laughter yoga sessions encourages participants to interact, share joy, and build a sense of community. This shared experience can foster deeper connections and provide emotional support, reducing feelings of loneliness and isolation. Strong social networks are essential for mental well-being, and laughter yoga facilitates these connections in a fun and inclusive manner.

Reduction of Stress Hormones

One of the most significant benefits of laughter yoga is its ability to reduce stress. When people laugh, the body releases endorphins, often referred to as "feel-good" hormones. Endorphins enhance mood and promote an overall sense of well-being, counteracting the effects of stress hormones like cortisol. Regular practice of laughter yoga can help individuals better manage their stress levels, leading to a more relaxed and positive state of mind.

Sense of Well-Being

The physical act of laughing helps to relax the muscles in the body, relieving tension and stress. This relaxation and happy feeling can persist even after the laughter yoga session has ended, leading to a prolonged sense of physical ease. Regular laughter yoga sessions can help achieve emotional balance. The release of endorphins and serotonin during laughter promotes positive emotions and reduces negative ones, leading to a more balanced emotional state.

Outdoor yoga reduces stress and anxiety, improves mental health, and provides a sense of calm, making it ideal for those who enjoy spending time outdoors.

Outdoor yoga provides a special opportunity to connect with self and the environment by integrating the practice of ancient yoga with the restorative properties of the natural world.
Humans have an innate link to nature, known as biophilia, which plays a vital role in our mental health, research in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health suggests that spending time in natural environments reduces stress, anxiety, and depression by calming the mind and promoting relaxation.
Outdoor yoga exploits this connection by combining the physical and mental benefits of yoga with calming elements of nature. Practicing yoga in the middle of the natural environment allows individuals to immerse themselves in the sights, sounds and smells of the environment, building a deeper sense of calm and reducing stress levels.
The quality of the air we breathe profoundly affects our mental health, with outdoor air typically containing higher levels of oxygen than indoor air, which enhances cognitive function and alertness and reduces fatigue.
Through controlled breathing techniques such as pranayama, outdoor yoga improves fresh air consumption, promotes relaxation and reduces stress, through outdoor yoga, individuals can benefit from the benefits of oxygen-rich air to support mental clarity and emotional balance.
Exposure to sunlight
Sun exposure is critical to maintaining mental health, as it stimulates the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter associated with mood regulation and happiness.
Sunlight enables the body to manufacture vitamin D, which plays a pivotal role in mental health.
Outdoor yoga provides an opportunity to absorb sunlight, boost serotonin and vitamin D levels, and improve mood and emotional well-being.
However, it is necessary to practice sun safety measures such as wearing sunscreen and looking for shade to prevent excessive exposure to harmful UV rays.

Animal-assisted yoga provides a unique way to practice yoga while promoting social connections and emotional well-being.

Hanover farm brings goat yoga to central Virginia

Goat yoga offered at Hanover farm
Published: Jun. 21, 2022 at 7:17 PM EDT|Updated: 1 hour ago

HANOVER Co., Va. (WWBT) - If you haven’t tried goat yoga yet, it’s a popular new way to stretch and destress!

It’s exactly what it sounds like, and now you can sign up for a goat yoga session at Pactamere Farm in Hanover!

“It’s not traditional yoga, but it is yoga,” said farm owners Eric Evans and fiancé Katie Cunningham. “It’s a lot of interaction with the goats. They jump on you. They play; goats are very interactive.”

The goat yoga classes are an hour long. For the first 45 minutes, you go through a sequence of poses while the fury friends play, stand on your back, and maybe even lick your face. Or, like our own Terrance Dixon’s case, they will just plop in your lap while you do your yoga.

And yes, we know what you’re thinking - yes, *it* happens.

“They might poop on you. They might pee on you. They might pull your shirt. We have one goat that likes to undress people, so it’s a lot of fun. They’re like children; it’s a lot of fun,” said Evans and Cunningham.

Once the yoga part is over, the last 15 minutes are meant for playtime.

“It was a lot of fun. Really relaxing but also funny at the same,” said class participant Taly Baumhover.

This was Baumhover’s first time doing yoga and goat yoga. She says it was part of a surprise from her mom.

“We thought we were going horseback riding,” said Baumhover. “Then we pull up, and we come over here, and we’re like ‘oh my gosh.’”

These Nigerian dwarf goats are part of an agritourism alpaca farm in Hanover run by Evans and Cunningham.

Initially, Eric bought these goats as a Mother’s Day gift for Katie.

“I absolutely fell in love with them,” said Cunningham.

But the animals have a deeper meaning for Eric. Five years ago, his then-wife Jaime died from a rare and terminal cancer.

He used alpacas at the time for support, which played a major part in the healing journey for Eric and his daughters. In honoring the life of Jaime, and her love for the alpacas, Evans turned the farm into an agritourism/event place to allow others to experience the incredible blessing these animals give.

“Animals are very calming. They can be stressful at times, but they help you when you might not even realize it,” said Evans. “This kind of interaction is something what my wife and I had originally dreamed - that we would be able to share this life with other people.”

Recently, Evans and Cunningham started a non-profit called Pactamere Cares, which uses animal-assisted therapy to promote healing for those struggling with loss, trauma or mental illness. They hope to restore lives and promote healing, peace and encouragement through unconditional love.

The farm also hosts ‘Wine Tasting with Goat Yoga’ every other Saturday through the month from a local winery.

Prices for regular goat yoga start at $35, while the wine-tasting goat yoga class starts at $50.

Content: Thorpe Bay in Essex is the home of yoga with a twist. Pawsz and Tails Yoga combines zen with something probably a little less calm: puppies and kittens everywhere. The Southend based yoga classes have combined all of your favourite things so you can leave feeling warm and fuzzy.

At £30 for an hour session, you can combine a half an hour class with a full hour of silliness with an army of fluff. Pawz and Tails writes on their website: “If you love animals and would like to cuddle and play with them for an hour incorporating a half hour beginner yoga class then book your class now”. The popular classes are booked up far in advance, with only a handful of classes left in the upcoming months.

They add: “We provide a calm and safe atmosphere for our furry companions. Our puppies are free to roam around during the hour to play, sleep and enjoy the attention they receive from humans. Our classes are there to create playtime and socialisation before they go to their forever home.

“We have the highest safety standards and you can enjoy our classes knowing that we only work with reputable breeders who have the highest standards of care, we also donate to rescue charities each month.

Classes are for beginners aged 14 and over and aim to create a stress-free environment. A fully qualified yoga teacher will work with you through mainly floor postures, so you’re on a level with the puppies and kittens. Cuddles are optional.

Time spent with a fluffy companion has been proven to have a massive impact on mental health, with 37% of people saying that their pets help them with their lives, according to a Blue Cross study. Just being around animals can have a positive impact on our mental health.

At Pawz and Tails, their classes “provide a haven of pure uplifting bliss, interacting with baby animals is extremely heart warming and you will leave us with a big smile on your face. It's also a fun time for our furry companions, who love to play and be cuddled”.

The animals brought in for the yoga classes are brought from responsible breeders who are looking to socialise the little ones, and Pawz and Tails donate to rescue charities every month.

Dr Mak Wai-kee, Head of Department of Health and Life Sciences, Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education (IVE) Chai Wan College, said that the “Smart ” Pet Park held by VTC is not only providing practical dog training, but also adding pet massage:“ Through gentle acupoint massage techniques, the dog ’ s muscles relax, blood circulation stimulates and muscles and joints stretch. ”::
This training camp focuses on the positive training techniques of leading dogs for walking, to prevent dogs from being distracted and running around while walking, such as the correct use of dog leashes when going out, how to keep dogs focused on the street and following orders.
Yoga instructor Tina Chan shared that doing yoga with your pet can not only add fun, but also establish a tacit understanding with your pet. Dogs breathe at the same time to help your dog ’ s health.
Show new pet technology AI pet warm photo
On display at the event booth on the same day, Dr Mak explained that the black smart collar is operated by Internet of Things (IoT) technology. The owner can use the mobile app to understand the dog ’ s health status, such as heart rate, sleep and activity time.
“AI Pet Photo Station ” uses artificial intelligence (AI) technology to identify the dog or cat in front of the camera, and then applies the dog or cat filters and special effects to the owner, allowing the owner to personalize the“ same kind ” of pet, for a warm and unforgettable group photo.
Dr. Mak mentioned that pet economy is the major direction of future economic development.

The second trick is to massage the wind pool acupoint: the connection between the ear and the head, the middle position, the same is a light circle.
Helps protect the health of the ear canal. Older dogs are prone to ear health problems.
The third trick: from the dog ’ s spine position, to the last rib vertically, massage up and down, help relieve the pet ’ s back pain, but if the dog responds abnormally, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
“Love in the Air ”
The beginner of Tina Chan Pet Yoga can start with a tree. The dog owner / cat owner holds the pet in both hands and slowly places the palm of his right foot on the inner side of his left foot to bend his right knee and point to the right to maintain balance.
She added that if the owner wants to further challenge the balance, he can try holding the dog with one hand and pointing one hand straight to the sky. The “boat type ” needs to be used for the owner ’ s core strength, which can also train the owner ’ s health and improve the relationship between the owner and the pet.
She reminded owners to pay attention to the personality of pets when doing yoga with their pets. For example, some cats are not enthusiastic and may not show enthusiasm to participate in yoga activities. Beginners pay attention to pet weight and yoga time, and pets need time to adapt to the activities in the yoga mat when doing yoga in the early stage.

NEKO Cat Cafe in Bellingham hosts cat yoga

All experience levels welcome to this furry, fun experience

Cats dance around participants' heads as they move through a relaxing yoga sequence. Moving from downward dog to a forward fold, participants are guided by an instructor as soft indie music plays in the background.

NEKO Cat Cafe hosts cat yoga on the first and third Thursdays of every month. It has drawn everyone from cat lovers to yogis and is a few months away from its one-year anniversary.

The events consist of a 45-minute yoga session taught by Laura Orso-Richmond, co-owner of Elements Hot Yoga. Following the yoga session is 30 minutes of kitty and beer time. NEKO provides complimentary tea or hot chocolate for those who don’t drink or are underage.

NEKO Bellingham's cat yoga was inspired by their Seattle location’s cat meditation.

“[The cat meditation] was a huge success,” General Meownager Caitlin Hanson said. “People loved getting centered and being around cats.”

Their cat yoga event requires participants to bring a yoga mat. As soon as the mats are down, the cats will prance from mat to mat.

“What surprises me most about the event is how involved the cats get in the yoga practice. Our resident cat Loki will sit on your back during child’s pose,” Hanson said.

Although NEKO has hosted cat yoga bimonthly for some time, some Bellingham residents had no idea it existed.

“I’ve been to NEKO Cat Cafe four or five times,” Bellingham resident S Jacobson said. “I did not know they were doing [cat yoga.] That is awesome.”

The Downtown Bellingham Partnership regularly posts NEKO Cat Cafe’s cat yoga events on their Monthly Happenings Calendar

“NEKO is a business I have on my radar as one that hosts a lot of events. They actively post on social media, which is how I found out about cat yoga,” said Nathalie Wagler, the events and promotions coordinator at the Downtown Bellingham Partnership, via email. “Community events keep our neighborhood vibrant and give people an opportunity to experience businesses they may have not previously known about.”

So far, the Bellingham community has been supportive of the cat yoga events, Hanson said.

“We have a bunch of new people coming in as well as many repeat practicers,” she said.

NEKO’s main goal of the event is to encourage people to hang out with the cafe’s 20-plus kitties and potentially meet their forever cat. Many of the cats at NEKO are available for adoption, though there are a few that are permanent residents at the cafe.

She also emphasized that doing yoga with cats is a unique and entertaining experience.

“Before we had yoga, I would occasionally come in and do some self-practice and it was super fun and really silly,” Hanson said.

The tickets to NEKO’s cat yoga cost $35 and can be purchased on their website. Their next event is on Feb. 8.

“Yoga is such a personal practice, it's very inward, focusing on your breath,” Hanson said. “At cat yoga, it’s a little more fun, a lot more laughter, a lot more giggling, a lot more group engagement.”

What is useful yoga: says the coach
Irina Dvorkina
General Practitioner
Alexandra Churkina
Hatha Yoga Instructor
Read us in VKontakte Zen
Yoga is an ancient teaching that includes various spiritual, mental and physical practices.
Every year it becomes more and more popular in modern society.
Today, for many people, yoga is an opportunity to escape from the chaotic and busy life.
It is practiced on the mat at home, in gyms and even in an Indian temple.
However, such training has contraindications.
Who will benefit from the practice and who should not?
Took it down with a yoga coach.
What is Yoga
The first thing that comes to mind when a person hears the word “yoga ” is an ascetic in a loincloth that has twisted into a difficult position.
But in fact, physical exercise is just one of the steps of a great way of self-improvement.
Initially, yoga is a philosophical school in ancient India, and therefore this doctrine tries to answer deep questions about the meaning of life and the structure of the world.
One of the conclusions is that the essence of man ’ s problems lies in the excessive anxiety of the human mind.
Which means we need to calm him down.
Where to start yoga classes
A person who studies and practices yoga is called a yogi or yogi.
From the very beginning, it is important to observe the moral and ethical standards described in the books about this doctrine.
It is necessary that a person understands what he will do and what opportunities these classes can open for him.
Then you can connect physical practices on the mat.

To start classes, you only need:
– comfortable, ventilated and warm room;
A place where no one will bother you.
– absence of irritating factors: phone, loud sounds, etc.;
– sports comfortable mat or yoga mat;
- sports or any other clothing that does not hinder your movements.
And after that, when a person is ready physically and mentally, you can try to start meditation.
Such a path, for example, is described in the main book of all who practice yoga, the Yoga Sutras by the Indian philosopher Patanjali.
Today, to a person brought up in Western culture, this may seem esoteric.
Therefore, for many in the modern world, yoga is just an unusual and interesting kind of physical education.
Only then, with a deeper immersion in the topic, a person can get something more for himself.

Benefits of Yoga
Many experts hold the position that the benefits are provided by those activities that bring pleasure.
And also those where there is an attentive and prepared teacher.
If, for example, this is an hour and a half group classes, where you constantly torment yourself and suffer from unusual exercises on the mat, and at the same time there are 30 more people in the hall and the teacher does not see you and your problems, then it is unlikely that there will be any benefit.
Yoga as gymnastics is very different.
For example:
– Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga (the practice is powerful and quite dynamic.
A form of hatha yoga.
After such a load, you will probably get very tired and sweat well);
– Hatha yoga (it stands for Ha – sun, Tha – moon.
This is a story about the union of soul and body, the balance of energy.
Hatha includes both statics and dynamics, the pace can be slow);
– Yoga therapy (auxiliary action in certain health conditions, as a physical supplement to the recommendations of evidence-based medicine);
– women ’ s yoga;
Yoga for pregnant women;
Children's Yoga.
There are many other practices.
Naturally, like any physical education, yoga can be both useful and traumatic.
It is very important to choose the direction that is right for you.
Therefore, before classes, be sure to consult with the teacher and doctor.

Yoga is good for men, women and children if you do the exercises correctly.

This is especially useful for men who exercise regularly.
Increased flexibility and strength help improve performance in training and reduce the risk of injury.
2.

Meditative and breathing exercises help men cope with stress and improve overall mood.

How useful yoga is for children
1.
Improving physical health: Practicing asanas (postures) and breathing exercises improves muscle flexibility and strength.
Classes also support the proper development of the musculoskeletal system of the child.
2.
Developing concentration and improving learning skills: Yoga helps improve concentration and memory in children.
This has a positive effect on the learning process.
Children who practice yoga are often better at focusing on lessons.
3.
Managing Emotions and Stress: Simple meditation practices and breathing exercises can give children tools to relax, relieve nervous tension, and consciously relate to emotions.
What are the contraindications for yoga classes
First of all, you can not do yoga if a person has any diseases in the acute phase:
– gastritis;
– ulcers;
– heart disease;
– gallstones;
open wounds;
any tumors.
A large list of contraindications in pregnant women and young mothers.
That is why it is very important to warn the teacher about the features of your body before starting the practice.
If you have injuries and you are just starting to practice, it is also better to fully recover from the disease, and only then start yoga.
Are there any alternatives for those who want but can ’ t do it?
It all depends on your purpose.
If you just want to improve your physical well-being, then with a competent approach, yoga helps to solve many health problems.
In yoga itself, there are many different and beautiful directions, for example, yoga therapy.
In it, an individual set of exercises for working with the body is selected for a person.

And if your goal is peace of mind and harmony in the soul, then breathing exercises are perfect.
In it, the novice yogi sits in a comfortable position, closes his eyes and tries to focus on his breathing, without getting involved in extraneous thoughts.
Respiratory gymnastics is something that vaguely resembles real meditation.
How best to do it: by yourself or with a coach
In short: for beginners - a coach is needed to set up the technique, continuing can do on their own.
There is no single answer to this question.
There are people who really need a coach nearby.
A professional person who can be trusted to tell some features of his body so that he can suggest the right technique.
And there are those who are more comfortable to study at home on video courses.
Both options are possible.
However, it is important to consider the initial data.
If there were injuries, if there are questions about well-being, then it is more reasonable to have a reliable coach nearby.
What is the difference between yoga and fitness
Yoga is a great way.
And this path goes far beyond such concepts as fitness and physical education.
Some even believe that any other activity, such as running or dancing, can also be considered as yoga.
If it helps to solve your main tasks – to free the mind from meaningless fluctuations or to become a better body and soul, then this can be a good alternative.

Content: How to Successfully Expand Your Brand into New Markets

Brand expansion is a part of the brand strategy that plays a vital role in any business. It’s how small companies can grow into larger ones, and how new products and services can become established in their respective markets. But expansion doesn’t happen overnight, and it isn’t easy. Whether you’re looking to expand your brand into new countries or regions within the same country, many things need to be done before you can launch your business successfully in another market. This guide will walk through everything from identifying your target audience to developing a distribution plan for getting products on shelves in stores.

1. Identify Your Target Market

Identify your target market. The first step in expanding your brand into new markets is identifying who you want to sell to, and why. This requires a deep understanding of the needs and desires of those customers, which can be tricky if they don’t share the same culture or language as you.

Understand the competition in your target market. You’ll need to find out who else is selling similar products or services to figure out how best to compete with them or whether it’s even possible for you at all.

Understand legal and regulatory implications in new markets before entering them: Don’t assume that just because something works well where you’re from means it will work elsewhere too; laws often differ greatly between countries depending on their history (for example), so do some research before making any commitments

2. Decide Which Regions or Countries to Target

The first step in expanding your brand into new markets is to decide which regions or countries you want to target. This may seem like an obvious step, but it’s important not to overlook it. Before making any decisions about where you want to expand, make sure that there is a clear understanding of the market and its dynamics, including:

  • Competitors: Who are they? What strengths do they have? How can these strengths be leveraged against them? What weaknesses do they have that could be exploited by yourself?
  • Ourselves: What are your strengths of a company? How good are you at executing your mission statement? What weaknesses do you need to address before entering this new market space (if any)?
  • The Market Size/Growth Rate Potential: Is there enough demand for your product or service in this region/country at present time? If not now then when might there be enough demand generated by consumers who will buy from you? Also, consider how much growth potential exists over time like how quickly could sales increase if various factors were favourable towards doing so such as lower prices being charged elsewhere while maintaining quality standards set forth previously by yourself.

3. Analyze Your Competition in Each Market

The first step to expanding your brand into a new market is to analyze your competition. The more you know about them, the better prepared you will be when it comes time to launch your product or service.

Here are some things that you should consider:

  • Who are their customers?
  • What products do they sell?
  • How much do they spend on marketing?
  • How do they position themselves against other brands in the same category (such as being cheaper or more prestigious)? If there are any gaps in their offerings, then this could be an opportunity for you.

4. Consider Your Costs and Budget

When expanding your brand into new markets, it’s important to consider the costs of doing so. You will need to estimate the amount of money you’ll need for things like travel, marketing and advertising campaigns and more. You should also plan for unexpected expenses like customs fees or shipping delays that could crop up while getting your product overseas.

To help you stay on track with these estimates and plan for potential expenses down the line, set a budget for yourself by creating an Excel spreadsheet or other type of document where all of your financial information can be stored in one place.

Once this is done and before making any big decisions about expansion, you’ll want to do some research into what other companies have done when expanding into new markets themselves.

5. Develop a Distribution Plan for New Markets

If you want to expand your brand into new markets, it is important to have a distribution plan. This will help you determine how much inventory you need, where you can get it, and how much it will cost.

The first step in developing a distribution plan is determining which products are going to be sold where. The key here is identifying what each region’s needs are so that they can be met with the right products. If there is no demand for a product in a certain region, then it should not be sold there. The second step is finding out which distributors can provide the right amount of inventory at competitive prices. Distributors must have enough stock on hand so that when customers order something, they don’t have to wait weeks or even months for it to arrive at their doorsteps.

Once those two steps are completed successfully, all that remains is implementing those plans by ordering inventory directly from manufacturers or through distributors based on current market trends (which may change over time).

6. Assess Your Resources and Capabilities for Expansion

Before you can successfully expand your brand into new markets, it’s important to assess your resources and capabilities.

  • Understand your capabilities: What do you have the ability to do? Can your company handle the additional workload of launching a new market? Do you have enough staff on hand to support this growth strategy, or will hiring be necessary for them to succeed in their roles?
  • Understand your resources: What are the financial, human and technological resources available at this time (e.g., cash flow)? Can these be leveraged effectively or must they be supplemented with outside funding sources (e.g., venture capital)? Are there any partnerships that would help facilitate entry into foreign countries with lower barriers than those currently faced by U.S.-based companies operating within similar industries, such as consumer packaged goods or technology services providers, that could assist with local knowledge such as language skills needed for conducting business abroad?
  • Assess limitations: Is there anything holding back expansion efforts, such as regulatory restrictions on entering these markets and if so, how might these regulations affect both short-term plans like hiring staff members overseas versus long-term strategies like setting up offices over time?

7. Consider the Legal and Regulatory Implications

Legal and regulatory requirements vary from country to country. Before expanding your brand into new markets, you should understand the legal and regulatory implications of doing so. This includes knowing which laws apply in those countries and how they might affect your business.

You can start by researching the local regulations for selling products or services in that region. For example, if you are planning on selling food items in Europe (and not just importing them), then there will be specific rules about how much preservatives may be used in each product category based on whether it’s considered “high risk” or “low risk” by EU regulators according to its level of perishability once opened; this information is available online through various official sources such as Eurofins Food Testing Services’ Guidebook No 1: Food Safety Regulations & Standards Worldwide).

It’s also important for companies expanding internationally into unfamiliar territory to learn about cultural differences between countries before launching their businesses there too early without taking these factors into account first since doing so could result in costly mistakes later down line due solely to ignorance rather than bad intentions.

8. Research Local Media Outlets, Influencers and Press Opportunities

It’s important to research local media outlets and influencers that could help you get your brand in front of the right audience. You can also look for press opportunities, which are events or conferences where you can promote your brand.

To find local media outlets, use tools like Google News or Media Bistro’s database of journalists and outlets by industry. If there aren’t any specific publications about what you’re selling, try searching for related topics; for example, if I’m launching a line of dog beds but don’t know anyone who writes about dogs (or even pet products), I might search “pet industry” instead. If there aren’t any good options available yet in your city but more coverage seems likely soon (like with tech startups), consider reaching out directly to reporters covering those industries so they know about your launch before it happens.

9. Ensure You Have the Right Sales Force, Infrastructure, Products and Services

When expanding into a new market, you need to ensure that your sales force is adequately prepared. This means they have the right skills and training to sell in that market. The same applies to any other members of staff who will be interacting with customers or potential clients. It’s also important that they understand what makes this particular group of people tick and what motivates them. What are their concerns? What do they want from life?

You’ll also need to consider what products and services would be most appropriate for this group of consumers (and how best to deliver them). You may even want to create some entirely new products specifically designed for this new audience.

Conclusion

This article has covered a lot of ground, but it’s important to remember that the process of expanding your business into new markets is not an easy one. You have to consider all the different factors involved in making this decision, including your resources and capabilities as well as legal and regulatory implications that may affect your company. However, if you’re willing to do some research upfront then there are plenty of ways for entrepreneurs like yourself who are looking at expanding their brand into new territories.

Yogi apprentices 'heal hurting bodies through movement and breath'

Contributor:
Fuseworks Media

Working with people as they find their ‘aha’ moments is what keeps Rebecca Harford coming into work every day.

Rebecca and her husband Jeremy are the co-owners of Adapted Yoga and Pilates, a unique Christchurch-based studio with a mission to help everyone find a practice that’s safe, fun and enriching.

Right now, Rebecca is supporting a number of her staff through the Skills Active Exercise Professional apprenticeship, https://www.skillsactive.org.nz/our-qualifications/exercise/apprenticeship-new-zealand-apprenticeship-exercise-professional-level-4/. But teaching and learning have always been passions for her.

Rebecca first came to yoga during her university years. She was pretty sure yoga was frivolous, so her instinct was to learn more about it to confirm her suspicions.

"I had been playing rugby, and was also right into weightlifting and powerlifting. So yoga was quite a different way of looking at the world," Rebecca says. As it turned out, she disproved her theory, and discovered the beginning of a lifelong passion for yoga, which grew to encompass Pilates as well.

Once she finished her degree in physical education, Rebecca left for a stint working on cruise ships, and for three years she taught as many as 28 yoga and Pilates classes a week - a very solid grounding for her teaching career.

After returning to New Zealand, she ended up in a role with ACC, and it was there, working with ACC clients, that the seeds were planted that would eventually lead to the creation of Adapted Yoga and Pilates. The studio welcomes everyone through its doors, including those with disabilities or conditions, so that they can get the life-changing benefits of moving their bodies and using their breath.

"There are so many broken people that need exercise and wellbeing, and there is just not a huge amount of support for them out there. I got frustrated with that [at ACC] and I wanted to do more to help people.

"The difference between us and some other studios is that we are truly open to anybody. Our teachers are able to create a challenging class for people that need challenge, and a safe class for those who need more support. And our ethos is always ‘first do no harm.’"

Rebecca says yoga and Pilates can help everyone, no matter their limitations, and it’s inspiring to see it happen.

"I just love seeing people get their ‘aha’ moment. So even the really simple stuff like how to breathe deeply. Or how to activate their core. Those really basic things that they can take into everyday life, and which will make life better."

These things may be basic or simple, but that doesn’t mean they’re easy for everyone, she adds.

"Even just how to get the right muscles working [can be challenging]. Especially for people that were too scared to try. There are so many women, in particular, that aren’t happy with their bodies or they are in pain or they are anxious.

"In my job I get to see those people change, and think ‘Hey, this is actually something I can do, and I can do it well, no matter how broken I might be.’ It’s really special seeing things click for people."

Broadening horizons through learning on the job

Rebecca is enjoying supporting her teaching staff as they complete their Skills Active apprenticeships. She gets together with the apprentices for regular practical and theory sessions, and is always available for questions, advice and encouragement.

"There is a lot of work involved but it’s worth it. It’s been a really interesting experience and I’ve learned quite a lot as a mentor to my team.

"You need to have an environment where people are okay to make mistakes and ask questions. And I think it’s helpful to have more than one person on hand to ask, because we all learn differently and present information in different ways."

Rebecca is also a registered Skills Active assessor, and assesses the parts of the programme that are within her assessment scope.

She notes that many yoga and Pilates teachers haven’t gone through what others in the wider exercise industry would see as the foundations of being a fitness professional.

"The training that they’ve done doesn’t usually come with the same level of focus on anatomy and physiology, or the cultural awareness side of things. So it’s great to be able to give them that foundational base, and to fill in any gaps that might have happened between their teacher training and going forward."

It also helps to broaden their horizons as exercise professionals, Rebecca adds.

"They can start to have conversations with allied health professionals and personal trainers about their shared clients. And it gives them an opportunity to work more broadly in the various roles that the industry can offer.

"It’s just awesome to see people who were already good teachers, gaining more confidence in their knowledge and abilities. And it helps them to give even more to their students."

Content: The changing face of fitness in India

New Delhi, April 9 (IANSlife) Over the last 24 months, the fitness industry has seen a complete shake-up, with Covid-19-related shutdowns resulting in gyms closing shop, many scrambling to digitise their business offerings, and many trainers and small businesses left hapless in its wake.

As with most businesses around the world, technology has been a central theme, with accelerated adoption during the pandemic fueling unprecedented changes in consumer behaviour willing to try new apps, workouts, and be counselled all from the comfort of their own home.

However, with everyone jumping on the “online fitness” bandwagon, albeit with a variety of approaches, there has been a significant increase in the number of fitness platforms all vying to “disrupt” the fitness industry.

The fitness industry in India is no different, and here are some material changes.

The Customer

The pandemic drove millions of people who were suddenly barred from their favourite gyms, forcing consumers to accelerate their adoption of home fitness. Home workouts, which were previously unthinkable, became the only way to go, and people began to see the benefits of these workouts, which included increased flexibility, privacy, and the convenience of being able to workout at home. In addition, many myths about bodyweight workouts being ineffective were debunked, allowing consumers to push themselves through intense workouts.

Fitness app downloads are expected to have increased by 46 percent worldwide in the second quarter of 2020, with India leading the way with a 156 percent increase, adding approximately 58 million new active users!

Fitness Studios

Traditional studios became agile during the pandemic by developing capabilities to cater to at-home consumers, focusing on home workouts, and moving all personal training to video apps for nearly a year. Similarly, many coaches began offering online group classes in order to retain customers and make ends meet.

And now that gyms and studios are open again, businesses and trainers are continuing to offer hybrid programmes to help clients stay consistent regardless of which mode they choose.

Fitness Tech Platforms

Fitness platforms offer far more than just fitness through technology, but also accountability, community, group challenges, rewards programmes, access to exclusive events, and so much more  no wonder people embraced them, and they became the pandemic’s largest gainers, with ready solutions to die-hard enthusiasts’ fitness woes. To attract customers, they also included a variety of entry-level programmes such as dance, yoga, and mindfulness.

Their subscription services allowed you to exercise at your leisure while feeling more connected to those around you and accountable to a coach or community.

Big changes are still taking place in the industry, as the entire spectrum of home fitness (or anytime-anywhere-accessible-fitness) is quickly becoming the norm, with more people opting for remote formats.

Tech platforms are currently reimagining the entire fitness experience, putting the consumer at the centre. This is accomplished through the use of hyper-personalization, in which programmes can be built seamlessly around clients’ lifestyles, heart rates, sleep, nutrition logs, daily step count, and mood patterns, among other things  using these correctly can be powerful in how we can improve results for each individual, all while doing activities they enjoy.

Fitness apps can be designed to provide meaningful experiences for customers regardless of their preferences, location, or price point. This, combined with meaningful insights, can assist us in losing weight while not giving up foods we enjoy or engaging in activities we enjoy!

Doing what we enjoy leads to consistency and sustainability, which makes leading a healthy lifestyle easier. “What gets measured gets done,” and “what gets done gets done”! All of this culminates in hyper-personalization and keeping the customer at the centre of everything we do!

This year, the "scenery" in the "five one" small friend circle is very different from previous years: some people go outdoors, enjoy the cozy; there is a large part of the people, followed by Liu Hong in the studio, Liu Hong jumped the grass program. The girls "punctuality in the cloud" hit the card. "
In recent years, affected by the repeated epidemic of coronary disease, fitness as a part of the consumer market, has been constantly changing, and the home scene has been fully developed.
From the fitness ring, fitness mirror and other black technology products launched, fitness platforms have laid out online courses, to Saturday wild, Pamela, Liu Yan and other fitness IP characters rapid iteration, the national "cloud fitness" trend set off.
However, with the topic of "Liu Yan Hong boys and girls jumping into the hospital" constantly rushed to the hot search, many people in the industry reminded that fitness must pay attention to training intensity, do their best, and do not blindly follow suit.
"Cloud fitness" appears "person-to-person", choose the most important
"Do you jump the 'syllabus'?" After 90 Chengdu girls Lin Lin found that the greeting of friends around them recently changed.
She said to the reporter of the China Youth Daily, "as if overnight, Liu Yan became everyone's fitness coach, sometimes far away to see friends' trembling and Wei 'coming, I knew she jumped yesterday."
In Lin Lin's view, the phenomenon of "person-to-person" style of practice, dubbed by netizens, has become a "new way of socializing" for young people.
As a fitness enthusiast, Lin Lin will also follow Liu Yan Hong's live broadcast to exercise.
"Before Liu Yan Hong burst the fire, the major platforms have sprung up a lot of net red fitness bloggers, and the courses are diverse.
Choose courses that you can follow and enjoy, and train regularly.
You don't have to be hard on yourself, after all, fitness is something that can make you release stress, "Lin Lin said.
In fact, as early as before Liu Yan Hong, Pamela, a foreign fitness blogger known as "humanoid AI", has set off a trend of practice in China.
Sharing and practicing courses has also made many offline fitness coaches and fitness enthusiasts switch to the network and become fitness bloggers with many fans.
Interestingly, this year's "May Day" small holiday, in some of the platform launched the "national fitness plan", Wu Dajing, Ren Ziwei, Su Bingtian and other Olympic champions, also began to participate in it, with everyone to fitness.
"Cloud fitness" swept the social platform, is obviously a red sea.
More and more stars, athletes and fitness bloggers teach for free, as if to give everyone a reason to "move up". Follow the Keep course to jump rope, go to the offline fight hall to practice boxing, Yang Xiaoyi, who works in Beijing, is happy to print out the fitness report: lose 30 pounds in 5 months.
She told the China Youth Daily reporter that after leaving the original company in early March, "cloud fitness" made her have a lot of happiness.
Although there is no "shuttlecock" with Liu Yan Hong, Yang Xiaoyi will also find a fitness blogger suitable for himself on social platforms.
In the screening and training course, she will pay special attention to the cases and comments posted by bloggers, "generally will verify whether the course is scientific, but also see the interests of the blogger behind the chain, if the blogger is only to bring goods, the movement is not suitable for themselves, it will be excluded."
A fitness practitioner who did not want to be named reminded: "The chaos that can not be ignored is that some bloggers in order to pursue traffic and cater to the market, touted some of the action effects as too" myth ".
Back to the beginning of the heart, fitness bloggers should recommend their own good sports field, give people who love you with professional guidance, so that everyone can love sports, not hurt, and enjoy the joy of sports. "
With millions of fans of the B station sports fitness UP main "Liu tease is not funny" suggested that before fitness to understand their own physical situation, do what they can; fitness period, also to properly learn some fitness science knowledge, so as to better distinguish and choose suitable for their own fitness blogger and exercise style, "exercise fitness to slow, urgent".
"Cloud fitness" also needs "dry goods", and can also train users for offline fitness.
Because of the contact with fitness during the rehabilitation period after the operation, exercise has become Liu's daily habit.
Before becoming a full-time fitness UP master, she worked as a fitness instructor for 7 years. Liu Jiayi admitted that she liked the feeling of face-to-face communication with students offline.
“Until the beginning of 2021, because of the vocal cord injury, I only tried to share the video of myself dancing and training on various platforms during my rest and recuperation at home, but I did not expect to receive a lot of attention. ”
More than two months later, Liu Jiamao chose the "main attack" line.
Without the atmosphere of offline fitness face to face, it is particularly important to find out how the content of online courses attracts young people. Liu Jiayi told the China Youth Daily Online reporter that she is opposed to "fast" and body anxiety, and hopes to convey more emotional value in online courses.
“For example, making people feel that exercise and fitness can also be very happy, and sports can also be integrated into everyone ’ s favorite dance and music, and it can also make you more active and energetic in your work life. ”
What makes her happy is that "Liu Yan's fitness studio is actually providing emotional value for everyone, which is worthy of more people to see."
Fitness is not only for beauty, but also happiness, decompression, especially in the home mode, and perhaps more need for emotional release. "
"The early production of follow-up videos is more like 'translators', helping everyone to do password guidance, safety tips and action explanations."
But anyone can do the translation and practice the action of the video, I still have to do their own original content. "Liu Jiayi admitted that compared to other bloggers, her course is" relatively niche ", and there will be no high-intensity movements, they are also very fond of the fitness and fat dance.
However, she will also organize more interesting courses according to the suggestions of netizens.
Yan Shuiqi has been a fitness coach for two years, and worked as a course designer on the Keep platform, and now he has become a sports UP master with nearly 2 million fans.
He observed that since the outbreak of the epidemic, when the gym was unable to operate, many fitness coaches turned to the line, and some well-done coaches became full-time bloggers.
For the course audience is mostly male users, he divides his courses according to fat reduction, exercise a single part, posture adjustment, home practice, novice application, etc.
In his view, "do sports courses and do brand, the content must have a focus, can not be for all the crowd."
To understand the needs of their target audience, according to the needs of the targeted launch of response content, but also to explain the needs of everyone's "dry goods", and safety training tips. "
At the beginning of this year, Liu Jiao clearly felt that many fitness coaches around her were testing the water from the media, and some institutions invited her to share and train from the media operation.
In her view, the popularity of "cloud fitness" not only makes the online course content more abundant, high-quality, and more and more people love fitness, but also will promote the development of the fitness industry.
"Maybe some people will prefer online courses, but there will also be some people through online courses to develop fitness habits, after the epidemic, they will turn to offline fitness, to bring drainage to offline fitness places."
More importantly, the increasing number of online quality courses will force offline fitness coaches to be more professional. ” Yan Shuaiqi also believes that the increase of online quality courses will promote the better development of the fitness industry. “The more people who work out at home, the more people who are willing to go offline after the epidemic. ”
Running a gym in Beijing makes Wang Liping feel very interesting, "although the epidemic is repeated, the students in the gym will follow the fitness blogger daily exercise, but they are also eager to be able to train in offline venues."
We are all sweating together, you fight me than the feeling and atmosphere, is online live broadcast can not reach. "However, she also saw the fierce competition in the fitness market from online to offline," survive the epidemic, we will continue to improve courses and services, and fitness industry with rapid development.

How fast can a company digitize?
In the past, ordinary people may think that the construction of related network software and hardware and the education and training of personnel need a lot of time, but the sudden three-level alert of the COVID-19 epidemic has led to many industries being forced to close down.
Most businesses do not want to find ways to maintain their original customers during this period of time, and continue to maintain their revenue.
Hu Xiaoxin, founder of “Good Habit Sports Classroom ” (hereinafter referred to as“ Good Habit ”), said that the epidemic forced his fitness team to switch to video teaching, and the company quickly digitized.
Since the government launched the three-level alert on May 15, the "good habit" of being forced to suspend business the next day (16th), launched the first free exercise demonstration video after the three-level alert on the YouTube channel, teaching some introductory sports, and officially embarking on the road of video teaching.
Hu Hsiao-hsin believes that the big reason for the rapid introduction of video courses from computer layman to computer layman is the change in "cognition". The Chamber of Commerce he joined also provided the corresponding resources and support.
With internal and external cooperation, the current turnover of good habits has reached 80% of the past, which is enough to cover the expenses of rent and personnel costs.
What he did not expect was that he was able to absorb audiences from different ethnic groups, and even overseas students, because of the launch of video teaching.
External Factors: The Chamber of Commerce Involves Professional, Initiates Video Teaching
Hu Xiaoxin originally participated in the Huarong chapter of BNI Business Network International, which has 140 business owners, most of whom are upstream and downstream e-commerce companies.
After the third level of vigilance, he asked the business group how to transform, and his partners immediately reminded him to let customers know that good habits are always there, but they will accompany them to continue to exercise at home, and also provide good habits related hardware and software knowledge, from computers, lights, sound effects, network and other hardware equipment, to live broadcast software, video platform, live broadcast skills, etc.
In addition to providing relevant equipment and knowledge, members of the Chamber of Commerce also provide many products to drive traffic in live sweepstakes, and assist in SEO (Search Engine Optimization) operations and Facebook advertising, to improve the visibility of good habits in online search.
After starting the paid video course, Hu Xiaoxin will transfer the online inquiry to LINE @, and quickly transfer the order through the chat robot to answer consumer related questions. Then through the course platform, the process will be digitized and the cash flow will be integrated. It will take a lot of time to find fault with the money.
Internal factors: Communicate with the coaching team to build overall centripetal strength
With professional hardware and software equipment and platform, waiting for the coaches to come on the court.
Hu Xiaoxin said that internal communication is a very important part.
Coaching is an important asset in the gym, and all goods depend on the extent to which the coach is willing to pay and cooperate. "Even if my willingness and concept of transformation are fast, I still have to spend a lot of time communicating with the coach."
At the beginning, many coaches think it is difficult to earn two weeks of leave, but for no reason to do video teaching, it is inevitable that they do not agree.
Hu Xiaoxin first analyzed what might happen in another half month or a month and convinced them why they want to do a free live broadcast.
In addition, for some coaches, the face of the camera class is difficult, such as how to present students to understand, how to adjust the teaching methods, so that students at home feel the enthusiasm and sense of presence of the coach.
Hu Xiaoxin said with a smile, “At first, some coaches are more adaptable, and some coaches work harder. They will post in the community that they are tired and don ’ t know what they are doing. ”
The whole team is also more focused in the process.
Hu Xiaoxin said that the most painful part of the gym industry is that the coach will take the students away after they have grown strong.
During this time he set up the platform, the team thus presented a good video effect and more diverse courses, he believes that this can let the coach rest assured to follow the company for a longer time and a longer way.
Steps: Free Tutorial → Free Live Stream → Paid Video Course
The layout of the video course includes three parts: free instructional videos, free live streaming, and paid video lessons.
The goal of the first two is to interact with the student, build an audience, and allow the instructor to practice video teaching so that the third part of the course can be launched.
After the outbreak of the third level of alert began, from May 16 to May 25, good habits gradually launched free teaching videos to upload to Facebook, YouTube and LINE student groups, the main appeal is: let members know that good habits are always there, and the exercise can not be interrupted.
From May 17 to May 31, Good Habit launched a free live teaching exercise for one hour every night, allowing coaches to practice face-to-face teaching, accumulate fans, and promote traffic through lottery activities.
The most visited live stream, reaching more than 8,000 people, with 556 comments and 157 shares.
After the team has accumulated enough experience in shooting and video teaching, it is customary to launch a paid video course on May 24.
At first, after a week of market testing, the registration results are not high. Hu Xiaoxin said that good habits are very concerned about their professional, think that the pricing must be close to the original fee, so the original class of 400 yuan, converted to online charge of 300 yuan.
Students are not buying.
As a result, Hu Hsiao-hsin decided to compare the price of a large gym with a set price of only NT $990 for a 100-course course, and the paid video course was successfully promoted.
"Epidemic": Opening up a new business model to attract more customers
To Hu ’ s surprise, the video course attracted a lot of new customers, adding more than 120 new members, and even Chinese from as far away as Malaysia, Singapore and the United Kingdom participated in the course.
At present, only about 30% of the paid video courses are original members, and more than 30% of the non-original members are audiences who did not go to the gym in the past. Hu Xiaoxin believes that it is an unexpected harvest to accept these customers who were completely inaccessible.
In the early stage of closure, good habits also sent emails to various tutorial classes to seek cooperation with enterprises, and successfully cooperated with four listed companies, foreign companies, as well as a group mother and two tutorial classes to launch video courses.
In addition, members of the BNI Chamber of Commerce provide a lot of health-related products and good habits to share profits, so that coaches have extra income.
In order to provide a variety of products, good habits quickly set up an e-commerce website, and officially launched in mid-July, unexpectedly developed an e-commerce model.
Hu Xiaoxin believes that the strength and support of BNI Chamber of Commerce is very important for him to be fortunate in carrying out video courses, rapidly digitizing, and even developing the business model of e-commerce and 2B (to Business).
In addition to digital equipment, knowledge resources and support, there are other products combined to form a good cross-industry cooperation and cycle.
Hu Xiaoxin said that his BNI branch has always had a tacit understanding of mutual assistance, providing each other with contacts and resources, "You help me, he helps another person, in the future, others have the opportunity to cycle back to help me, we have developed this habit."
The Chamber of Commerce is like a treasure chest, everyone has any needs, as long as the problem is thrown into the group, almost no response has been seen, that is, there must be a solution. 」
In the past, he has also recommended members of the Chamber of Commerce to expand their business, this epidemic, including good habits, as well as a dance classroom and a hand shake drink, all received assistance from the Chamber of Commerce.
After opening the video tutorial, he tried to give feedback to the members of the Chamber of Commerce, such as placing or exposing the brand of the product, and listing the e-commerce website.
In addition, good habits are also willing to help the transformation of the industry, such as joint live broadcasting with peers, holding free seminars, and sharing the software and hardware requirements of video teaching with peers.
Hu Xiaoxin said, "After the epidemic, if we still divide each other, fewer people will come back."
If we can conclude the power of the contract line, so that more people know that sports have their necessities, whether it is offline or online, we can quickly return to the exercise, it is absolutely the most important for us. 」
Post-pandemic: Video lessons will continue to be the norm
As for whether the curriculum will be adjusted after the release of the seal, Hu Xiaoxin said that before the first dose vaccination rate did not reach 80%, the physical courses only opened one-to-one and one-to-three courses, and the rest of the courses will continue to be taught by video.
He believes that from the experience of foreign countries, even if the vaccination rate is high, the number of confirmed cases is still high, as long as a small gym has a confirmed diagnosis, students will have doubts whether to return to class, let alone recruit new guests, "so can not risk, can only deepen, expand the operation of online courses."
In addition, good habits will also deepen the management of personal and team brands, and continue to expand the customer base that cannot be absorbed by the physical store with strong stickiness.

For an auto repair shop, understanding the target audience means recognizing that customers are likely looking for quick information about services, pricing, and availability. They may also value customer reviews and easy scheduling options. By customizing the website to include clear service descriptions, pricing information, customer testimonials, and an online booking system, the auto repair shop can create a user-friendly experience that meets the specific needs of its audience. This approach not only enhances customer satisfaction but also helps attract and retain more clients.

Choosing the Right Website Platform

Choosing the right website platform is a fundamental step in customizing your website. The platform you choose will determine the flexibility, scalability, and ease of use of your site. Popular options include WordPress, Wix, and Shopify, each offering different strengths depending on your business needs. It’s important to choose a platform that supports the features and functionality required to achieve your business goals while also being user-friendly for ongoing management.

For an asphalt roofing company, choosing a platform like WordPress can be advantageous due to its extensive range of plugins and themes tailored for service-based businesses. WordPress allows for easy integration of photo galleries to showcase completed roofing projects, a blog section for maintenance tips, and contact forms for inquiries. By choosing the right platform, the asphalt roofing company can ensure its website is equipped to handle current needs and future growth, making the customization process smooth and effective.

Choosing a Professional Design Theme

Choosing a professional design theme is essential for creating a visually appealing and cohesive website. A well-chosen theme should align with your brand identity and provide a user-friendly interface. Look for themes that are responsive, customizable, and optimized for performance. A professional design theme enhances the overall aesthetic of your site, making it more engaging and trustworthy for visitors.

For a farm and ranch supply store, a professional design theme that reflects the rural and agricultural nature of the business is crucial. Themes with earthy color palettes, rustic fonts, and high-quality images of farm equipment and supplies can create an inviting and authentic feel. Additionally, features like product catalogs, easy navigation, and clear call-to-action buttons can enhance user experience. By choosing a theme that embodies the essence of the farm and ranch supply store, the website can effectively attract and retain customers.

Incorporating Your Brand Identity

Incorporating your brand identity into your website design ensures consistency and reinforces your brand’s presence. Elements such as your logo, color scheme, typography, and imagery should reflect your brand’s personality and values. Consistent branding across all pages and content not only builds recognition but also fosters trust and loyalty among visitors.

For a crossword puzzle subscription service, incorporating brand identity can make the website more memorable and engaging. Using playful yet sophisticated fonts, a color scheme that evokes curiosity and intellect, and imagery related to puzzles and brain games can create a cohesive brand experience. Additionally, incorporating the logo prominently and maintaining a consistent style in newsletters, downloadable content, and interactive puzzle features helps to reinforce the brand. By customizing the website to align with its unique brand identity, the crossword puzzle subscription service can attract and retain subscribers who resonate with its distinct personality and offerings.

For a gourmet coffee roaster, incorporating your brand identity into your website design is crucial for conveying the quality and uniqueness of your products. Elements such as a sophisticated color palette, elegant typography, and high-quality images of coffee beans and brewing processes can reflect the artisanal nature of the business. Additionally, using your logo prominently and maintaining a consistent style across all content, including blog posts about coffee origins and brewing techniques, helps reinforce your brand. By customizing the website to align with the gourmet coffee roaster’s brand identity, the business can attract discerning coffee enthusiasts and build a loyal customer base that appreciates the craftsmanship and care put into every roast.

Optimizing for Mobile Devices

Optimizing for mobile devices is essential in today’s digital landscape where a significant portion of web traffic comes from smartphones and tablets. A mobile-optimized website ensures that users have a seamless and enjoyable experience regardless of the device they are using. Key aspects include responsive design, fast load times, and easy navigation on smaller screens. Ensuring your website is mobile-friendly can enhance user satisfaction and improve search engine rankings.

For a live video monitoring company, mobile optimization is crucial as customers may need to access live feeds and security alerts on the go. A website redesign expert can implement a responsive design that adapts to various screen sizes, ensuring that video streams are clear and navigation remains intuitive. Features such as mobile-friendly dashboards and quick access to live support can significantly enhance user experience. By optimizing for mobile devices, the live video monitoring company can ensure that customers can monitor their security systems efficiently from any location.

Enhancing User Experience

Enhancing user experience (UX) is a critical aspect of customizing a website. A positive UX keeps visitors engaged, reduces bounce rates, and encourages repeat visits. Key elements of good UX design include intuitive navigation, clear call-to-actions, fast load times, and accessible content. By focusing on these aspects, you can create a website that is easy to use and enjoyable for visitors.

For a sewage cleanup company, enhancing user experience is particularly important. Customers looking for emergency cleanup services need to find information quickly and easily. A website redesign expert can streamline the navigation, making it simple to find services offered, emergency contact information, and customer testimonials. Additionally, clear call-to-actions such as “Request Immediate Assistance” and easy-to-use forms can improve user interaction and satisfaction. By prioritizing UX, the sewage cleanup company can ensure that their website effectively serves customers in urgent situations.

Integrating Essential Features

Integrating essential features into your website can greatly improve its functionality and user engagement. Depending on your business, these features might include e-commerce capabilities, booking systems, contact forms, or customer reviews. Ensuring that these features are seamlessly integrated and easy to use can enhance the overall effectiveness of your website.

For a golf cart seller, integrating essential features such as an online store, product galleries, and a booking system for test drives can significantly enhance the user experience. An online store allows customers to browse and purchase golf carts and accessories directly from the website. High-quality product images and detailed descriptions can help customers make informed decisions. Additionally, a booking system for test drives can provide convenience and encourage potential buyers to visit the showroom. By incorporating these features, the golf cart seller can create a comprehensive and user-friendly website that meets the needs of their customers.

For a boutique fitness studio, integrating essential features such as class schedules, online booking, and membership management can significantly enhance user experience and streamline operations. An online booking system allows clients to easily view available classes, reserve spots, and manage their bookings directly from the website. Detailed class descriptions, instructor bios, and customer reviews can help potential clients make informed decisions. Additionally, integrating a membership management feature enables clients to purchase and renew memberships, track their progress, and access exclusive content. By incorporating these features, the boutique fitness studio can provide a seamless and convenient experience for its clients, encouraging engagement and loyalty.

Implementing SEO Best Practices

Implementing SEO best practices is crucial for improving your website’s visibility and attracting organic traffic. SEO involves optimizing various elements of your site, including meta tags, headers, content, and internal linking, to make it more search engine-friendly. Effective SEO can drive more visitors to your site, increasing the potential for conversions and business growth.

For a dumpster rental service, implementing SEO best practices can help attract customers searching for waste management solutions. A website redesign expert can optimize the site with relevant keywords like “dumpster rental,” “waste disposal,” and “roll-off containers,” ensuring these terms are used naturally throughout the content. Additionally, optimizing meta descriptions, creating informative blog posts about waste management, and ensuring fast load times can improve search engine rankings. By focusing on SEO, the dumpster rental service can enhance its online presence and attract more potential clients.

Regularly Updating Your Content

Regularly updating your content is essential for keeping your website relevant and engaging. Fresh and current content not only attracts repeat visitors but also signals to search engines that your site is active, which can improve your rankings. Regular updates can include blog posts, news articles, service updates, and customer testimonials, ensuring that your audience always finds something new and valuable.

For an electrical contractor, regularly updating content can position the business as a knowledgeable and reliable service provider. Blog posts about electrical safety tips, new technology in electrical systems, and project case studies can provide valuable information to visitors. Updating service pages to reflect new offerings and adding customer testimonials can also enhance credibility. By consistently updating content, the electrical contractor can keep the website dynamic, improve SEO, and build trust with potential clients.

In conclusion, customizing a website for your business involves a multifaceted approach that considers your specific goals, audience, and industry requirements. From identifying business objectives and understanding your target audience to choosing the right platform and incorporating your brand identity, each step plays a crucial role in creating an effective online presence. Ensuring mobile optimization, enhancing user experience, integrating essential features, implementing SEO best practices, and regularly updating content are all vital elements that contribute to a successful website.

Whether you are in cold chain shipping, an auto repair shop, or an electrical contracting business, understanding how to customize a website can significantly impact your success. By focusing on these key areas and leveraging the expertise of a website redesign professional, you can create a site that not only attracts and engages visitors but also drives conversions and supports your business growth. Embracing these best practices ensures that your website remains a powerful tool for achieving your business goals in today’s competitive digital landscape.

Report from the Pacific Islands News Agency.
The use of CRM is relevant for any type of business and facilities, including fitness clubs.
These are functional systems that save time and simplify the execution of a number of tasks.

All this allows you to improve the quality of service and optimize costs.
Automation of various clubs and sports institutions
This system is suitable for institutions working in the field of sports and other active areas, such as yoga studios, dance schools, CrossFit halls, children's centers, etc.
How to choose an effective CRM system for fitness
You need to study the functionality of the software.
Effective systems offer a wide range of options so that the club or studio can solve different tasks.

Other examples:
• Pre-registration of customers online;
• registration of attendance of the institution;
• work with club cards;
• obtaining analytical answers, etc.
Systems collect different information that can be used for analysis.
For example, the recording of visits.
The data will help to understand at what time the most visitors come, how many regular customers go to the club, etc.
The analysis of this information improves the work of the institution.
The system should be convenient, intuitive, have simple control.
Administrators should not loop in a maze of links and commands.
A good and thoughtful system will offer management that anyone can deal with.
CRM should work from anywhere in the world, so long as the user has access to the Internet.
Another important factor is the quality of the support service.
Choose a convenient and functional CRM system that will help improve the quality of service, attract customers and optimize the work of employees, in general, increasing business efficiency.

Justdial has witnessed a remarkable 50% growth of fitness centre listings from pre-pandemic to post-pandemic era. The growth has been higher across Non-metro cities compared to metro cities at 78% and 31% respectively. Non-metro cities, including Jaipur, Lucknow, Howrah, and Hooghly, witnessed an average growth of 78%, signifying a growing focus on fitness options in these previously underserved markets. Even among metros, Kolkata takes the crown with 61% rise, followed closely by Delhi (44%), Bangalore (36%), and Pune (37%).

The data reveals a clear shift in gym offerings, with a move away from generic memberships and towards specialised fitness centres. Listings for callisthenics gyms, cardio fitness centres, strength training centres, and crossfit gyms have seen significant growth of 95%, 103%, 105%, and 75%, respectively. This trend suggests that gyms are adapting their business models to cater to consumer preferences for targeted workout programmes that address specific fitness goals.

But fitness is no longer just about exercising. Justdial’s data reveals a growing focus on holistic wellness, with a significant rise in listings for aerobic classes for cardio circuit (243%) and weight management consultants (216%). This indicates that gyms and wellness centres are expanding their service offerings to cater to a more comprehensive approach to health that goes beyond just physical appearance.

This newfound zeal for fitness has also encouraged businesses to take their offerings online, as per Justdial’s data. It reveals that listings for online personal trainers have shot up by 102%, while online yoga classes and Zumba classes have witnessed a surge of 110% and 134%, respectively. This trend reflects a continued preference for convenience and accessibility, a trend likely fueled by the pandemic’s impact on workout routines.

While major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, and Bangalore boast a higher concentration of fitness centres per capita, the story is far from one-sided. Hyderabad stands out with a surprisingly high number of fitness centres compared to its population, and even cities like Kolkata and Ahmedabad are witnessing a rise in options. This suggests a burgeoning fitness culture across the country, with tier-II cities rapidly bridging the gap with their metro counterparts.

Businesses are adapting their offerings to cater to the growing demand for diverse and accessible fitness options. Justdial’s data paints a clear picture of a booming fitness industry in India, and further expansion can be expected, catering to the evolving needs of a health-conscious population.

WeaponUP Launches an Online Fitness Studio That Introduces a Unique Approach to Movement through Sword Fusion

A new online fitness studio opens combining the kung fu sword with vinyasa yoga. Move over goat yoga, theres a new contender in town.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, May 1, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Move over “Goat Yoga”, there’s a new contender in town. WeaponUP, Inc. a new fitness venture, is thrilled to announce the official launch of its online studio on May 1st, which promises to bring a fresh and empowering approach to women's fitness through an innovative blend of the Kung Fu sword and vinyasa yoga. Founded by Sabina Hyseni, a martial artist and yoga instructor who spent years studying and practicing Kung Fu at Shaolin and Wudang Tai Chi academies in China, WeaponUP is set to shake up the martial arts and yoga fitness landscape.

"Our mission at WeaponUP is to help women to become their most empowered and beautiful selves," said Hyseni, Founder of WeaponUP. "We provide a fitness solution that gets people moving, decreases the injury rates commonly associated with traditional martial arts and promotes the physical well-being that yoga can offer - all while holding a sword!"

Sword Fitness for Graceful Movement

The online studio has been carefully crafted to meet the needs of women who seek a fun, engaging, and effective workout routine that can be accessed from the comfort of their homes. WeaponUP's unique approach combines the grace of the Kung Fu straight sword, an element traditionally associated with strength and agility, with the fluidity of vinyasa yoga. There are four distinct series in the practice that are tailored for women, the Balance, Flex, Sculpt and Grace series, each focused on their own theme.

"WeaponUP is not just about fitness; it's about a lifestyle that embraces strength, flexibility, and revels in the joy of movement," Sabina explained. "Our online studio is always growing and will feature on demand WeaponUP flows, live sessions, training programmes and sword skills to accommodate any schedule, ensuring all our members can find a convenient and comfortable way to practice."

Empowering Women Through Sword Fitness

The launch of WeaponUP's online studio is especially timely, as interest in home-based fitness solutions has surged. With an emphasis on grace and empowerment, WeaponUP aims to fill a gap in the market by offering a fitness program that is both inclusive and effective. There are a lot more women attending yoga and pilates classes than there are women practicing Kung Fu, which is a shame. This practice combines the best of both worlds - strength and grace in one and the confidence of a warrior.

"WeaponUP was born from a need to create a safer, more inclusive environment for women in martial arts and weapons mastery," said Sabina. "By merging two powerful disciplines, we have created a program that not only challenges the body but also gets women to feel the power of wielding a sword."

Special Launch Offer

To celebrate the launch, WeaponUP is offering a special introductory yearly subscription rate for new members who sign up by June 1st. This offer will include unlimited access to all classes, challenges, programmes, and exclusive member-only live events for the entire year.

About WeaponUP

WeaponUP is an online fitness studio that uniquely blends the Kung Fu sword with vinyasa yoga and intuitive movement to create a dynamic and empowering workout. Founded by Sabina Hyseni, a martial artist and certified yoga instructor, WeaponUP is committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and innovative fitness experience for everyone.

Fitness expert told who can benefit from training in the style of Animal Flow
Fluttering like a butterfly: how effective is Animal Flow training
Moscow 24 columnist and TV presenter Eduard Kanevsky told about a new direction in fitness, copying the movement of animals, Animal Flow.

The modern fitness industry does not cease to offer its customers more and more new directions of training.
Many position them as something unique, giving a truly excellent result and, of course, in a short time.
This is a normal phenomenon for the sports industry, because the consumer always needs something new.
In particular, it is necessary to diversify the training process or to save time.
Guided by a similar principle, the famous fitness trainer Michael Fitchel developed and integrated Animal Flow training into his classes.
This is a set of exercises that are aimed at copying the movements of various animals - crab, scorpion, chimpanzee and so on.
The advantage of this technique is that you work with your own body weight, and for the exercises themselves you only need a mat.
Such training can be carried out anywhere in the world, both online with a coach, and independently.
Another advantage is that each person can pick up movements for himself, depending on the level of training.
The training itself does not look easy, as it may seem from the outside.
The main principle of the program is that the change of positions is without interruption, which significantly increases the overall load on the body.
It would seem that this is a really interesting, new direction that allows you to work out all the muscles of the body, plus burn excess calories.
But is there a downside to Animal Flow?
Let's figure it out.
To begin with, calling the method unique, unfortunately, will not work.
After all, most movements are present in Pilates and yoga.
The second significant disadvantage is that many exercises require not only considerable agility and strength, but also stretching, as well as mobility in the joints.
But the older the person, the more difficult it will be for him to master this or that pose.
It's not easy here at all.
Almost every second person over the age of 25 has problems with the spine.
Therefore, when trying to take a certain "animal" position, an injury may occur.
Moreover, damage to the back, joints, tendon sprains are a frequent consequence of yoga, especially when a person tries to master asanas (poses in yoga) on their own.
Just here lies the main drawback of the Michael Fitchel technique: you can learn to engage in this direction only in the presence of a highly qualified coach.
Otherwise, both the safety of training and its effectiveness are called into question.
In fact, this applies to all fitness.
Photo: depositphotos / stockasso
Take, for example, the good old gym, which is absolutely in any club.
The number of injuries that beginners who decide to independently master the technique of performing exercises receive is simply off the scale.
Although they were sure that there was nothing easier than to squat with a barbell or make deadlift.
The same applies to the correctly selected sequence of exercises, the choice of load, as well as rest between workouts in general.
For all this, it is important to consider the goals and objectives of a particular person
Therefore, to master the new methodology Animal Flow necessarily need a coach, and also - the absence of any restrictions on health.
As far as I know, this direction has not yet been presented in Moscow, but I am sure that major network players will be happy to integrate this lesson into their clubs.
But that's not all.
You need to understand that such a system of exercises is just a variation on the topic of functional training.
These are classes that are aimed at the simultaneous development of endurance, flexibility, strength, coordination and so on.
But no such complex, except for crossfit, will not give you the opportunity, for example, to gain a good developed muscle mass.
To do this, you need not your own body weight, but an additional load in the form of weights.
So, being in the position of "crab", you do not pump up the buttocks.
The same applies to those who expect with the help of such training to lose weight by reducing body fat.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard you practice, during exercise, the body uses only sugar (glycogen) as an energy source, but not subcutaneous fat.
The necessary conditions are not created for its combustion.
Therefore, those who want to lose extra pounds will have to add aerobic training.
It is easy to conclude that there are no unique methods or even diets.
All that is associated with a good result is a complex of trainings with different types of load and correctly selected exercises.
Trying something new is always a good thing.
Just never count on a miracle, which in this case simply will not happen.
