The Kaizen method

The Kaizen method is a Japanese technique of continuous improvement, applicable to all areas of life: business, business, health, sport, yoga ...

This method, or philosophy , began mostly to be heard at the business level, to improve production. Famous are their " 5S " to achieve better orderly and effective work environments:

• Seiri (classification)
• Seiton (order)
• Seiso (cleaning)
• Seiketsu (standardization)
• Shitsuke (discipline)

But apart from this, and leaving aside the business field, the most important thing is its associated philosophy, in which it is especially important to achieve great results by taking small steps .

It is very difficult for something to prosper if we have to make great initial efforts, because we have high chances of giving up before the habit of doing so is generated in us. For this reason, the Kaizen method proposes to start with short and simple activities, and through continuous improvement , increase them and eventually achieve great benefits.



Under this philosophy my yoga course for beginners is created, with the aim of doing very short and simple routines to create the habit , and then gradually increase the time and difficulty of the exercises. Thus, we start the day with a routine of 3 to 5 minutes, simpler impossible to perform. In the afternoon we do the star exercise, the Greeting to the Sun, 2 times the first sessions and then we increase the number progressively, to end in another simple nighttime routine.

The next course I will do, to teach meditation, will be covered under the same philosophy, that of the Kaizen method, since I have proven that it works . And I insist, this is applicable to everything you intend to do , be it a diet, a sport, learn a language, improve the production of your company or be a better person, always under the following maxims :

"Don't let a day go by without improving yourself"

"Today better than yesterday, tomorrow better than today!"

"A step in the right direction every day is better than no step"

"Commitment and discipline"

"Plan, do, verify and act"

"A series of continuous and small improvements is better than a single large change"

"The effectiveness of simplicity and minimalism"
