Beyond Asana - Vinyasa Krama BEYOND ASANA - VINYASA KRAMA Manish Pole Founder: [email protected] www.21stCentury.yoga TABLE OF CONTENTS LEARNING OBJECTIVE 3 CONTENT 4 HISTORY 5 ASSIGNMENT 6 SWADHYAY (SELF STUDY) 6 DISCLAIMER 6 Confidential (Only for Members) | 21stCentury.yoga LEARNING OBJECTIVE How movement is become such as important and integral part of yoga practice. When we think of yoga, thinking of those people sitting still for long time yet about 80% of modern yoga classes are vinyasa, they are fluid. Confidential (Only for Members) | 21stCentury.yoga CONTENT Vinyasa Krama means a step by step progression into something, or to a certain goal. vinyasa is a great exploration of meditation in movement, eventually coming to stillness this is the goal. In Sanskrit, vi, meaning “order,” nyasa, meaning “placement," and karma, meaning “succession.” The name for this type of yoga practice is often shortened to vinyasa. Vinyasa refers to practicing a sequence of asanas that are synchronized with the breath. Each movement in the vinyasa krama sequence is linked to an inhalation or an exhalation and each asana becomes a step within the flow. The yogi learns to listen to body and when it is ready to advance to a more challenging asana. Rather than performing each asana as an independent pose disconnected from the whole, vinyasa krama mimics the flowing energy of the universe. The mind, body and breath are unified into a state of harmony. Vinyasa krama also uses variations of each asana to open the potential of the mind and body. Confidential (Only for Members) | 21stCentury.yoga HISTORY Many people who are interested in Yoga, have heard about Krishnamacharya, the teacher of Pattabhi Jois and BKS Iyengar. Some people call Krishnamacharya the father of modern yoga. The 20th century yoga master Krishnamacharya, is credited with developing vinyasa krama as an approach to yoga practice. He saw it as a key to the transforming process of yoga and not only applied it to asana practice but to all aspects of yoga. Srivatsa Ramaswami was a student of Krishnamacharya. He learnt Vinyasa Krama asana practice of over 700 vinyasas and 150 subroutine sequences, pranayama, meditation, chanting many chapters of from Krishnamacharya. The word “Vinyasa” is used to describe many different styles of yoga classes these days and is associated with flowing breath connected sequences (Kramas) of asanas/postures. However – what many students of yoga do not realize is that this broad use of the terms “Vinyasa” and “Krama” in today’s yoga circles are more often not the same as the structured, definitive system and methodology of the original Vinyasa Krama Yoga as taught by Krishnamacharya to his disciple. The Vinyasa Krama method that Krishnamacharya taught is a complete, integrated method aligned with the Yoga philosophy of Patanjali and supported by the methods of Hatha Yoga. Krama is an art form of practicing yogasanas, based on the parameters mentioned in the Yoga Sutras. Krishnamacharya taught this method of asana practice in which numerous asana movements or vinyasas are practiced in succession, slowly and with synchronization of breath in an intelligent and progressive way leading the practitioner towards the internal practices of meditation and samadhi. Each sequence contains a classic yoga posture and variations of movement (vinyasa) which lead to the mastery of that posture with systematic practice. Transitional movements between sequences, numerous vinyasas within each sequence and counter-postures bring great variety to a regular practice. Vinyasa krama develops strength and flexibility. It improves circulation of blood, lymph and life energy (prana). It’s an enjoyable and effective way of exercising all joints, muscles and tissues of the body without stressing the heart. The movements are slow and synchronized with ujjayi breathing which concentrates the mind and brings it into a state of peace. The whole process gradually transforms the body and mind, releasing old patterns of physical and mental tension and dysfunctional patterns of movement.

    Thriving in Healthcare: How pranayama, asana, and dyana can transform your practice Melissa Lea-Foster Rietz, FNP-BC, BC-ADM, RYT-200 Presbyterian Medical Services Farmington, NM [email protected] Professional Disclosure I have no personal or professional affiliation with any of the resources listed in this presentation, and will receive no monetary gain or professional advancement from this lecture. Talk Objectives Provide a VERY brief history of yoga Define three aspects of wellness: mental, physical, and social. Define pranayama, asana, and dyana. Discuss the current evidence demonstrating the impact of pranayama, asana, and dyana on mental, physical, and social wellness. Learn and practice three techniques of pranayama, asana, and dyana that can be used in the clinic setting with patients. Resources to encourage participation from patients and to enhance your own practice. Yoga as Medicine It is estimated that 21 million adults in the United States practice yoga. In the past 15 years the number of practitioners, of all ages, has doubled. It is thought that this increase is related to broader access, a growing body of research on the affects of the practice, and our understanding that ancient practices may hold the key to healing modern chronic diseases. Yoga: A VERY Brief History Yoga originated 5,000 or more years ago with the Indus Civilization Sanskrit is the language used in most Yogic scriptures and it is believed that the principles of the practice were transmitted by word of mouth for generations. Georg Feuerstien divides the history of Yoga into four catagories: Vedic Yoga: connected to ritual life, focus the inner mind in order to transcend the limitations of the ordinary mind Preclassical Yoga: Yogic texts, Upanishads and the Bhagavad-Gita Classical Yoga: The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the eight fold path Postclassical Yoga: Creation of Hatha (willful/forceful) Yoga, incorporation of the body into the practice Modern Yoga Swami (master) Vivekananda speaks at the Parliament of Religions in Chicago in 1893.

  • The Health Benefits of Yoga and Exercise: a Review of Comparison Studies
    THE JOURNAL OF ALTERNATIVE AND COMPLEMENTARY MEDICINE Volume 16, Number 1, 2010, pp. 3–12 Original Articles ª Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. DOI: 10.1089=acm.2009.0044 The Health Benefits of Yoga and Exercise: A Review of Comparison Studies Alyson Ross, M.S.N., R.N., and Sue Thomas, F.A.A.N., Ph.D., R.N. Abstract Objectives: Exercise is considered an acceptable method for improving and maintaining physical and emotional health. A growing body of evidence supports the belief that yoga benefits physical and mental health via down- regulation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis and the sympathetic nervous system (SNS). The purpose of this article is to provide a scholarly review of the literature regarding research studies comparing the effects of yoga and exercise on a variety of health outcomes and health conditions. Methods: Using PubMedÒ and the key word ‘‘yoga,’’ a comprehensive search of the research literature from core scientific and nursing journals yielded 81 studies that met inclusion criteria. These studies subsequently were classified as uncontrolled (n 30), wait list controlled (n 16), or comparison (n 35). The most common ¼ ¼ ¼ comparison intervention (n 10) involved exercise. These studies were included in this review. ¼ Results: In the studies reviewed, yoga interventions appeared to be equal or superior to exercise in nearly every outcome measured except those involving physical fitness. Conclusions: The studies comparing the effects of yoga and exercise seem to indicate that, in both healthy and diseased populations, yoga may be as effective as or better than exercise at improving a variety of health-related outcome measures.

  • Yogasanagalu.Pdf
    Yogasanagalu (translation project) On this page an intro to the project with links _ The ongoing translation of the Yogasanagalu _ Some notes and comments that have come up from the blog posts _ A post with some suggestions on how to practice the sequences in the Yogasanagalu. Intro to the project Krishnamacharya wrote his book Yoga Makaranda in 1934 in the Kannada language, the Tamil edition was published in 1938. Krishnamacharya's Yogasanagalu was first published in the Kannada language in 1941, the 3rd edition was published in 1972 K. Pattabhi Jois wrote his book, Yoga Mālā, in Kannada in 1958, and it was published in 1962, but was not published in English until 1999 Yogasanagalu along with Krishnamacharya's other book Yoga Makaranda (downloadable HERE), was originally written in Mysore while Krishnamacharya was teaching at the Mysore Palace and while Sri K Pattabhi Jois was his student. YOGASANAGALU T. KRISHNAMACHARYA Introduction I did not attempt a detailed review of all ancient yoga treatises since it will make this book very long and perhaps cause boredom to the readers. Please forgive. This writing is mainly based on the following texts: Patanjalayogasutra Hathayogapradipika Rajayogaratnakara Yogakuranti Upanishads related to yoga Learning’s from my Guru and self-experience About the Second Edition This is the second edition. Added additional text to one section. I trust that by reading this, readers and practitioners will be able to overcome their doubts. With a strong conviction, I suggest and request that teachers will be able to teach the essence of yoga to their students.
