[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]There is a way of doing Asana without the slightest effort. Movement and alignment are like an expressive song that arises from the body. The freedom from tension in the upper body (the head, neck, arms, shoulders, and torso) that is produced by the acceptance and release into gravity through the lower part of the body: through grounding (legs, hips, knees, and feet) is the origin of lightness and presence, This expressive freedom is connected to the breath like the waves to the ocean. Yoga is not a restrictive alignment or control of the body. Yoga must bring freedom to the body-mind. Not the freedom of indulging but the freedom that comes from the internal balance of clear intention, right order and listening with precise and...
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Yoga Lifestyle is a path, a journey towards Self realization. It is living the truth with every breath. On and off the mat, even in sleep. Then, ‘all life is yoga. It starts with that deep aspiration of becoming whole, letting go, surrendering, wanting to under-stand the ever repeating wheel of your own life, and finding your life purpose.. Sometimes it starts when you get to a juncture, when you feel you have suffered enough. It starts when the questions are too deep, too many and you cant answer them with your mind. Some of us start to practice yoga or go to a Yoga Retreat. When you enter into this Yoga Lifestyle path you want to know yourself: When yoga comes with you off the...
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Advance your Yoga practice by moving beyond the physical body Chakrasana or Urdva Dhanurasana I love this asana as it opens us to vulnerability and ultimately to freedom, to open up to life. It opens my heart when i feel it closed. It gives me space to love. It brings me directly into the heart space. It stimulates all 5 Prana Vayus. Chakrasana benefits the physiology and psicology of your body-mind, In Sanskrit Chakra means wheel, and so we call it wheel pose: Chakrasana or Urdva Danhurasana which means extended bow pose. As it is a deep backbend and deep heart opener we say that it opens the heart chakra but actually it is an integrating pose that stimulates all these energetic vortexes called chakras equally. Chakrasana strongly engages...
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Advance your Yoga practice by incorporating Drishti There are nine drishti, or gazes in the Ashtanga yoga tradition. Each one corresponds to a specific point of focus. By incorporation the drishti into your yoga practice you will deepen your awareness and connection with the Divine. Drishti is a Sanskrit word that means 'gaze' and is closely connected to Dharana and Dhyana, the 6th and 7th limbs of The Eight Limbs Yoga. In Dharana, we work with cultivating a single point of concentration in preparation for meditation (Dhyana). In yoga practice, drishti or placing our gaze into a specific point helps us, physically to find balance and stability. Mentally helps us focus and steady the mind and turn our awareness inwards, towards the internal movements, while finding the external...
When we talk about grounding we are saying that one has their feet on the ground we mean that the person is in touch with reality, aware and in the present moment, with a developed common sense and not lost in space, past regrets or anxiety about the future. Being grounded means to be relaxed, in touch with our truth, inherent wisdom and knowing. Feeling good in your own skin. On the mat grounding implies having a good foundation: having your feet relaxed, your legs strong but not tense, under-standing to rise, letting go tension and being able to integrate strength, steadiness, ease, focus and presence in the practice. A person that can feel his feet on the ground and the contact with the earth can...
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Breathing is one of the unconscious processes by which we take oxygen and vital energy into our body. Are you aware of this process fully? Do you know the importance of proper breathing? Try to concentrate on this action only – taking oxygen in and letting it out. You will feel much more than just breathing. You will feel your body and everything that is in contact with it. That is how you come to the phase of body awareness. Meditation makes it possible to recognize emotional influences on breathing and provides a strategy for relieving underlying pain. In carrying out this inner work, however, you need to resist the impulse to control your breath and change it. Acceptance is the key to working with the...
Doing a detox is like hitting a reset button for your body. It will help to increase your energy levels, balance your hormones, improve digestion, give your adrenals a much-needed break, help break cravings and make you feel joyous all over, not to mention beautiful glowing skin and release of any overweight. Giving your body a reset once a week can create a real shift in your energy level and in your life. Just the fact that you take a step back from your regular eating habits and become conscious for one day of what you are putting inside you, makes you start eating more consciously once again. The action of cleansing and purifying the body helps to release stagnation, making room for energy to flow and...
What blocks you from feeling a sense of wholeness each and every day of your life? Contemplate for a moment the idea of ‘being whole’: close your eyes and envision this radiating energy inside you. Where is it located? What does it feel like? Wholeness signifies completion, harmony, contentment and Integrity. It is rare to experience this energy, as we are usually consumed by wanting, needing and achieving Carl Jung says that wholeness is a state in which consciousness and the unconscious work together in harmony. The Self, archetype of wholeness and the regulating center of the psyche is a transpersonal power that transcends the ego. As an empirical concept, the self-designated, the whole range of psychic phenomena in man. It expresses the unity of the personality as a whole. We are...
Lining your life beyobnd means to live inspired, to live with passion to live essential and authentic lives.To live with integrity, to progress. It takes courage and a continuous awareness to live in this way. These states are not going to happen if we just sit here and wait for our life to get better. Or if we just take care of our outward appearance. We all know that most of the times what we see and what appearances look like are not what exactly lies beneath them And even if we work-out and practice yoga, and feel strong and beautiful, without cultivating our character, it will not be a lasting beauty or a lasting state of joy. Why? Because instead of embellishing, cleaning, and cultivating ourselves from...
