Just ordered "The Inner Game of Tennis" (1974) by Timothy Gallwey (from Half Priced Books in Berkeley, which book they said they could get in a few days through the network they're in), which virtuosic Scottish bagpipe player, PM Stuart Liddell (above), recommended to me a few years ago when I was living in a 'safe house' north of Berkeley in El Cerrito, and taking some Scottish small piping lessons with him online (and recordings of these lessons are here at MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch Scottish_smallpipes_and_borderpipes' WUaS wiki subject / school - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Scottish_smallpipes_and_borderpipes) ... sounds like it might have some Yoga philosophy in it ... 

Berkeley I think could benefit from a great physical-digital WUaS Educational Services' Stores' Bookstore (Computer store, Robotics' store ... possibly with groceries too eg "Food for Thought") for both new and used books (eg in that there isn't a university of California Berkeley stellar bookstore like 'University Press Books' any longer,  and see PS) - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - which would also be a flagship WUaS publishing house (planned in all 7,159 known living languages with machine and human translation) ... Stay tuned ...

Alcaraz or Sinner tomorrow? 

The Wimbledon men's singles final, featuring Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, will be live streamed on ESPN+ in the US. It will also be broadcast on ESPN. The match is scheduled for Sunday, July 13th, with a start time of 11 a.m. ET (8 a.m. PT).


And - 

... and it's supposed to be free on ESPN .


Here are some short highlights thus far -

I think Alcaraz will win his 3rd Wimbledon championship because of his track record at Wimbledon ... but I wonder how they're both thinking about the match, and strategizing. Who do you think will win and why? 

Cheers, Happy Tennis & Yoga, best regards,

Searched on 'tennis champions who won with yoga' 

Tennis champions who incorporate yoga into their training
Several tennis champions have openly embraced yoga as a valuable tool to enhance their performance and prolong their careers:
  • Rohan Bopanna: The Indian doubles specialist, who won the Australian Open at the age of 43, credits Iyengar yoga with helping him overcome debilitating knee injuries and extend his career -( https://www.hindustantimes.com/sports/tennis/down-on-the-knees-to-top-of-the-world-how-yoga-and-a-serving-tip-from-bob-brett-turned-rohan-bopanna-s-career-around-101706355738661.html ).
  • Novak Djokovic: Widely considered one of the greatest tennis players of all time, Djokovic has long been an advocate for yoga and meditation, attributing his exceptional flexibility, strength, agility, and mental clarity to these practices.
  • Serena Williams: The tennis icon incorporated yoga and Pilates into her workout routine, recognizing their benefits for maintaining fitness and preventing injuries.
  • Coco Gauff: The young American sensation, who advanced to the US Open singles final, also practices yoga, highlighting its role in her training regimen.
  • Andy Murray: The British tennis star found Bikram yoga particularly helpful for improving flexibility and mental strength, even claiming it helped him against top players like Roger Federer. 
Benefits of yoga for tennis players
Yoga offers a multitude of advantages for tennis players, contributing to both physical and mental aspects of the game: 
  • Improved Flexibility: Yoga stretches and lengthens muscles, increasing range of motion and reducing the risk of injuries like muscle strains. This allows players to reach difficult shots and execute powerful strokes with greater ease.
  • Enhanced Strength and Stability: Yoga builds core strength, which is vital for balance, stability, and generating power in strokes. Poses like Warrior II, Tree, and Downward Dog target specific muscle groups used in tennis, improving overall stability on the court.
  • Injury Prevention: By enhancing flexibility, balance, and muscle strength, yoga helps reduce the risk of common tennis injuries like knee pain, shoulder issues, and lower back strains.
  • Increased Endurance: Controlled breathing techniques (pranayama) taught in yoga improve lung capacity and oxygen efficiency, enabling players to sustain energy levels and recover faster between points.
  • Mental Focus and Clarity: Yoga emphasizes mindfulness and meditation, which can improve concentration, sharpen decision-making, and promote a calm and centered mindset on the court, particularly during high-pressure situations.
  • Faster Muscle Recovery: Yoga promotes circulation and helps reduce lactic acid buildup, aiding in faster muscle recovery after intense matches or training sessions.
  • Stress Reduction: The mental aspects of yoga help alleviate stress and anxiety, allowing players to manage match nerves and maintain composure in tense situations. 
Many professional players are recognizing these benefits and are incorporating yoga into their training routines, finding it a valuable complement to traditional tennis conditioning

Appreciating Carlos Alcaraz's focus and after each amazing shot his {polite and civil} champion mental concentration to keep winning points ... Could this be construed as a kind of Yoga thinking (re the Bhagavad Gita, with brother fighting against brother ... and this interpretation "The Bhagavad Gita and Fighting for Love" with its "self-regulation through yoga")?

Hi Ma, Pin, Johnny, Sarah, Joan, Elliott, All,

Wimbledon is won again! Did Spain beat Serbia in England (with another Scottish Independence vote looming) in a sense, in an Olympics' like sports' event? Where are the India tennis playing Wimbledon winners?

By the way, that's Tina Craig (whom I've known from Cuttyhunk since the 1970s) doing a supported backbend over me (in new gmail pic for YogaMacFlower@gmail.com) in Child's pose on Church's beach on Cuttyhunk - partner Yoga work.

Yoga partner work is a different kind of David Thurston-Scott MacLeod singles' tennis on a clay court in the 1970s on Cuttyhunk and please forward to David.

Am not sure how or why Mary Dunn died so young or early at age 66 after she moved to NYC - but am seeking to bring her great Yoga teaching alive again in a #RealisticVirtualEarthForYoga and perhaps some greatest tennis too :)

Abolitionally, Friendly Quaker regards, best wishes, Yogically,

In my college years (at Reed College in the first half of 1980s) and after, I and friends thought a lot about holistic education (including Friends/Quaker and Waldorf schools) and here are some great replies in 2025 from Google AI about this ...



holistic education - What is holistic education and especially in terms of Yoga but also what are specific examples of schools?







*


What would holistic education (and Gemini wrote - Edinburgh) become in terms of the internet and the information age, if students were studying from home for their degrees at MIT open course for Centric Wiki World University and school how would holistic education (and Gemini wrote - Edinburgh again) from or with studying at home ?

"Holistic Edinburgh" Gemini wrote but I intended Education, a concept that seems to reference a community focused on wellness and alternative practices, would likely adapt by offering more online services and virtual gatherings. If students were to study from home using platforms like MIT OpenCourseWare, the city's holistic community would shift its focus from a physical space for students to a digital hub, providing resources, support, and community events online to a wider audience.

Holistic education focuses on developing the whole person, including the mind, body, and spirit. In terms of yoga, this approach uses poses, breathing exercises, and meditation to cultivate self-awareness, emotional regulation, and physical health, complementing academic learning. Examples of schools that use a holistic education model include the United International College and California State University Monterey Bay



*


Holistic education is a comprehensive approach to learning that emphasizes the development of the whole person, including intellectual, emotional, social, physical, and moral aspects. It contrasts with traditional education by integrating life skills and personal growth alongside academic subjects, fostering a balanced and well-rounded individual. 
Here's a more detailed look:
Core Principles:
  • Whole-person development:
    Holistic education recognizes that learning is not just about acquiring knowledge but also about nurturing a student's emotional intelligence, social skills, physical well-being, and ethical development. 
  • Integration of subjects:
    It encourages the integration of different subjects, often through interdisciplinary coursework, to create a more holistic understanding of the world. 
  • Experiential learning:
    Holistic education emphasizes hands-on learning experiences, allowing students to learn through doing and applying knowledge in real-world situations. 
  • Personalized learning:
    It recognizes that each student is unique and encourages learning at their own pace and in their own style. 
  • Focus on self-discovery:
    Holistic education encourages students to explore their own needs, interests, and strengths, fostering self-awareness and personal growth. 
Benefits of Holistic Education:
In essence, holistic education aims to prepare students to be well-rounded, engaged, and compassionate individuals who are equipped to thrive in a complex and ever-changing world

holistic education - exampoles


Holistic education focuses on developing the "whole" child, encompassing their intellectual, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. Examples include experiential learning, interdisciplinary coursework, and community projects that encourage critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and social responsibility. 
Here's a more detailed look at examples of holistic education:
1. Experiential Learning:
  • Field trips and hands-on activities:
    Visiting museums, historical sites, or nature centers, and participating in science experiments or art projects, allow students to learn through direct experience rather than just from textbooks.
  • Project-based learning:
    Students work on long-term projects that require research, collaboration, and problem-solving, fostering critical thinking and teamwork skills.
  • Service learning:
    Engaging in community service projects, like volunteering at a local soup kitchen or cleaning up a park, promotes empathy, social responsibility, and a sense of civic engagement. 
2. Interdisciplinary Coursework:
  • Thematic units:
    Integrating different subjects around a central theme (e.g., studying the life cycle of a plant through biology, environmental science, and art) helps students see connections between subjects and develop a broader understanding. 
  • Cross-curricular projects:
    Students from different subject areas collaborate on projects that require them to apply knowledge and skills from various disciplines. 
3. Social and Emotional Development:
4. Creative Arts:
  • Visual arts:
    .Opens in new tab
    Drawing, painting, sculpting, and other art forms allow students to express themselves creatively and develop fine motor skills.
  • Performing arts:
    .Opens in new tab
    Music, drama, and dance encourage students to explore their creativity, build confidence, and develop communication and collaboration skills. 
5. Holistic Assessment:
6. Community Involvement:
By incorporating these elements, holistic education aims to nurture students' intellectual, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual growth, preparing them to be well-rounded, engaged, and responsible members of society

holistic education - examples of schools

Holistic education schools focus on nurturing the whole child, encompassing cognitive, emotional, social, and physical development. Examples include Waldorf schools, Montessori schools, and schools that emphasize experiential and service learning. These schools often integrate academic subjects with activities like mindfulness practices, physical education, and community involvement. 
Examples of Holistic Education Schools and Approaches:
