Levels 8 & 9 – Advanced & Master
TEACHER TRAINING with Master Teacher Nicky Knoff CAIRNS, Queensland Levels 8 & 9 – Advanced & Master Monday 2nd – Friday 27th August 2021 5:45 am - 4:00 pm Non-residential VENUE The Yoga School Suite 14, 159-161 Pease St (Piccones Village) Edge Hill, CAIRNS PO Box 975, Edge Hill, 4870, QLD CONTACT James E. Bryan (ERYT500) - Program Director Mobile 0415 362 534 Email: [email protected] Website: www.knoffyoga.com Levels 8 & 9 – Advanced & Master THE HISTORY In 1994, Nicky Knoff and James Bryan took a sabbatical to the Mount Quincan Crater Retreat, just outside of Yungaburra in the Atherton Tablelands behind Cairns, Far North Queensland, Australia. The goal was to create a comprehensive and complete new program, which incorporated the anatomical alignment and progression of Asanas in Iyengar Yoga, and combine it with the energetic aspects of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga viz. Bandhas, Drishti, Ujjayi Pranayama and Vinyasa. We learned in Iyengar Yoga how to progressively practice postures. For example with Backbends, you perform an easy pose to warm up, a stronger pose to work more deeply, and then the strongest pose of the session – challenging yourself in a safe and methodical manner. This safe and methodical approach – carefully easing deeper into postures, was not a concept we found in Ashtanga Yoga. In fact, as we progressed through the Series (1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th) we could not discern any logical sequencing. It was as if someone had written down the various yoga poses on pieces of paper, thrown them into a hat, and pulled them out at random. With traditional Ashtanga, you only progress if you can do the postures in the Series order and if not, you stay stuck on the particular challenging pose, until you can. -

Personality Development Through Yoga 121
Personality Development Through 9 Yoga 9.1 INTRODUCTION Development of personality is an important issue. Personality starts developing since birth, but it assumes great importance during adolescence, when reorganisation of personality takes place. Personality is a very common term which is used in our day-to-day life. It tells us what type of person one is. We know that each person generally behaves consistently in most of the situations. The examples of this consistency can be seen in a person who remains friendly or a person who is generally kind or helpful in most situations. Such a consistent pattern of behaviour is termed as personality. It can be called as the sum total of behaviour that includes attitudes, emotions, thoughts, habits and traits. This pattern of behaviour is characteristic to an individual. There are various dimensions of personality. These dimensions are related to physical, emotional, intellectual, social and spiritual aspects of our behaviour. For a holistic personality development, yoga plays an important role. 9.2 YOGA AND PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT Yogic practices are found effective for development of all dimensions of personality. Let us talk about the yogic practices that influences development of different dimensions of personality. Yoga and Physical Dimension of Personality: Physical dimension is related to our body. It means that all organs and systems of our body should be properly developed and function. It implies a healthy body without any disease. Yogic practices like asana, pranayama, and bandha play a beneficial role in physical development of children. There is a series of asanas and pranayamas which help to improve the functioning of the body. -

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. -

Janu Sirsasana Kopf an Knie Haltung Janu Sirsasana Spiraldynamik, Eva Wilhelm
SPIRALDYNAMIK, JANU SIRSASANA, EVA WILHELM JANU SIRSASANA KOPF AN KNIE HALTUNG JANU SIRSASANA SPIRALDYNAMIK, EVA WILHELM Bildnachweis: www.yogajournal.com/pose/head-to-knee-forward-bend 1.) GRUNDSÄTZLICHES ZUM ASANA Janu Sirsasana zählt zu den asymetrischen Vorwärtsbeugen im Sitzen und wird mit Kopf an/zu Knie Haltung ins Deutsche übersetzt - wobei Janu = Knie und Sirsa = Kopf bedeutet. In der Vorbeuge ist ein Bein gestreckt und ein Bein zur Seite angewinkelt. Das angewinkelte Bein ist in der Hüfte gebeugt und außenrotiert, das Knie stark gebeugt, die Fußsohle ruht am Oberschenkel des gestrecken Beines. Der Rumpf wird über das gestreckte Bein gebeugt. In der Endhaltung umfassen die Hände die Fußsohle und der Kopf wird am Schienbein abgelegt. Janu Sirsana bewirkt eine intensive asymetrische Dehnung der geraden Rückenmuskulatur und der Muskeln der Beinrückseite des gestreckten Beines (ischiocrurale Muskulatur und Wadenmuskulatur). Die Asymetrie dieser Haltung läßt einseistige Haltungsmuster und Spannungsunterschiede der Rü- ckenmuskulatur sowie des Beckens und va. der Iliosacralgelenke (das mobilere ISG befindet sich auf der Seite des gebeugten Beines) erkennen und ausgleichen. Janus Sirsasana beruhigt das Nervensystem und wird gegen Ende einer Yogapraxis in einer Reihe von Vorbeugen eingesetzt. ASANA: JANU SIRSASANA Seite 2 JANU SIRSASANA SPIRALDYNAMIK, EVA WILHELM 2.) AUS SICHT VERSCHIEDENER YOGASTILE In den meisten Yogastilen wird der Fuß des angewinkelten Beines so nahe wie möglich beim Scham- bein und in Supinationsstellung abgelegt. Der Winkel zwischen beiden Beinen beträgt in etwa 90°. Daraus resultiert ein sehr enger Kniewinkel und ein starker Druck auf den Innenminiskus. Die Sitzbein- höcker sind nicht parallel nach vorne ausgerichtet. Im Ashtanga Yoga - Janu Sirsasana A - wird die Blickrichtung (Dṛṣṭi) Richtung Fußspitze definiert, damit wird das Gesicht angehoben und der Nacken verkürzt. -
