  • Understanding Shoulders in Vinyasa Flow
    Teacher Training Prescriptions for Pranayama YJ profiles the pranayama practices of six yoga traditions and finds differences ranging from the subtle to the profound. By Claudia Cummins The elegant shapes and impressive contortions of the asanas may be the most eye-catching element of hatha yoga, but yoga masters will tell you they’re hardly the point of practice. According to yoga philosophy, the postures are merely preludes to deeper states of meditation that lead us toward enlightenment, where our minds grow perfectly still and our lives grow infinitely big. But just how do we make the leap from Downward Dog to samadhi? Ancient yoga texts give us a clear answer: Breathe like a yogi. Pranayama, the formal practice of controlling the breath, lies at the heart of yoga. It has a mysterious power to soothe and revitalize a tired body, a flagging spirit, or a wild mind. The ancient sages taught that prana, the vital force circulating through us, can be cultivated and channeled through a panoply of breathing exercises. In the process, the mind is calmed, rejuvenated, and uplifted. Pranayama serves as an important bridge between the outward, active practices of yoga-- like asana--and the internal, surrendering practices that lead us into deeper states of meditation. “My first American yoga teacher, a guy named Brad Ramsey, used to say that doing an asana practice without a pranayama practice developed what he called the Baby Huey syndrome,” says Ashtanga teacher Tim Miller. “Baby Huey was this big cartoon duck who was very strong but kind of stupid. He wore a diaper.

    Teaching Pranayama You know from your own practice that pranayama--breath control--has profound benefits for your body and mind. But when and how should you teach it to your students? Learn how six yogic traditions understand this powerful practice.

  • A Biography of BKS Iyengar by Kofi Busia
    A biography of BKS Iyengar by Kofi Busia 1) A good time to be born? During 1918, children all over the world who were playing jump rope were skipping and jumping, and singing a mournful new ditty doing the rounds: I had a little bird, Its name was Enza. I opened the window, And in-flu-enza. Two terrors had gripped the world. One was the First World War of 1914-18; the other was the worldwide ’flu pandemic of 1916-18. The ’flu was far and away the bigger killer. The 1918 pandemic is widely regarded as the most devastating epidemic in recorded history. It affected one- fifth of the world. It killed more people in one year than were killed in all the four years in which the Black Death, the bubonic plague of 1347-51, raged. The virus responsible was particularly virulent, striking grimly, effectively, and without warning. Another feature of this epidemic was that whereas most types of ’flu virus tended to pick off the old and the young differentially, this particular strain seemed to prefer those between 20 and 45. Its effect was so great that the average US life span declined by 10 years. Physicians all over the world were rendered powerless. People walking to work would suddenly be struck down with illness and be dead within hours. In one case, four women sat down for a hand of bridge, intending to play late into the night. But by dawn, three of them had contracted the ’flu and had died. Although this was a worldwide scourge, killing upwards of 70 million in its wake, no coun- try suffered more gravely than India.
