Trådløse hovedtelefoner mødes Asana. Og det er mere end den næste FAD - det er en temmelig smart løsning til en række undervisningsudfordringer.
Har du nogensinde ønsket, at du kunne høre din yogalærer hviske blidt i øret? Eller at du havde en måde at blokere lyden af ambulancer og brandbiler, der suser forbi, mens du prøver at miste dig selv i Savasana? Lyd fra yoga kan være noget for dig.
Hvad kan man forvente i en stille diskoteknogaklasse
A Sound Off Yoga class is pretty much like your typical vinyasa flow class, except you wear a wireless headset through which you can hear your instructor as well as deep house music mixed by a live DJ. The instructor is present in the room, but doesn’t have to be amplified, because you can adjust the volume of the voice and the music, right on your headset. The noise-isolating headphones also block out ambient noise, minimizing distractions.
Det er meget cool. Folk siger, at de aldrig har følt sig så forbundet med instruktøren før, siger Castel Valere-Couturier, Sound Off's CEO.
Sound Off bruger trådløs hovedtelefonteknologi til at producere en lang række begivenheder, fra bryllupper til bar mitzvahs til yogakurser. Valere-Couturier, 30, blev inspireret til at starte sit firma for fire år siden på et stille diskotek i Israel, hvor deltagerne brugte lignende headset på gårdhaven på en natklub. Sidste sommer indså han, at teknologien kunne være nyttig i yogaklasser, især udendørs klasser.

Fordele ved at undervise yoga gennem trådløse headset
Jeg rakte ud til Yoga Bambam in Hong Kong—they freaked out when they heard the idea. For the first class, we did acroyoga in the park as a trial run, followed by sunrise and sunset yoga sessions right on the beach, which couldn’t have amplified sound. People loved it.
One clear benefit of the wireless headsets is they allow you to have a large-scale yoga class in an area where you may not be permitted to amplify sound; for example, on the beach. The headsets also reduce the need for electricity (Sound Off uses a portable battery pack the size of an iPhone), and allow participants to adjust the volume to their liking, so people in the back of the class can hear and people in the front aren’t blown out.
Headset har også tre lydkanaler, der tillader lyd at producere flere fitness -begivenheder i det samme rum på samme tid og ændre farver baseret på, hvad brugeren lytter til, så du kan fortælle, hvem der lytter til hvad.
Uanset om det er indendørs eller udendørs, tror jeg, at den delte intime oplevelse, det skaber, hvor du er helt i zonen, er det, der gør det specielt, siger Valere-Couturier.
SV prøvede det
We recently took a Sound Off Yoga class ($20; price varies by event) at South Street Seaport’s inflatable SUGARCUBE venue in downtown Manhattan (all of the events sold out, with the exception of one overflow class) and yes, the headphones stay on, even during inversions. They also most certainly block out all ambient noise: At the SUGARCUBE event, you couldn’t hear the instructor at all until you put on your headset, due to the sound of an air compressor keeping the cube inflated. But once the headphones were on, all you heard was the teacher and the music. Pretty cool.
