I want to give you the sublime rhythms of this earth and the sky’s limbs As they joyously spin and surrender, Surrender Against God’s luminous breath. — Hafiz ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! PREFACE ! ! ! ! his book may surprise some of you who are looking for the typical, linear, step-by-step presentation of Ashtanga Yoga, Ayurveda and Tantra. You won’t T find that here. I have a hard time taking life too se- riously, but I am sincere in my attempt to give you what I feel are the essential aspects of these living arts in their most practical form. My style of writing, like my life, is intense yet frequently full of levity. My language can sometimes be coarse, at other times poetic or humorous, but most of all it is personal. I can speak on these topics much more easily than I write. As you will see right away, I ain’t no Bill Shakespeare. I’ve kept it “raw” on purpose, drawing mostly from my own life experiences. There are an infinite number of synchronistic happenings in and all around us that whisper, or sometimes yell, “Look Here, Go Within!” This book is based on a handful of these kinds of experiences and ob- servations in my own life. See what they parallel in yours. It will then be up to you to explore them more deeply if you so choose. My main intention in writing this book is to open the discus- sion on how important Ayurveda, Ashtanga Yoga and Tantra are !when they come together as a trilogy. The synergy of the three The Only Way Out is In ! combine to form a perfect three-sided pyramid, or tetrahedron, giving you one of the most powerful tools available for Con- sciousness. One without the other two leaves you feeling “short- changed.” You will see this is happening in numerous experi- ences throughout the book. To set the stage of this literary journey, I’d like to ask you to visualize yourself as one of the ancient Rishis, enlightened Yogis from India. In your mind, put yourself back in the same jungle or Himalayan mountain peak where they may have gone and iso- lated themselves in order to uncover the mysteries of life. They observed themselves first and foremost, then nature. These ob- servations became what we now know as the ancient texts of Ash- tanga Yoga, Ayurveda and Tantra. Imagine yourself as one of these ancient “Seers,” discovering the secrets of these practices without having to endure the austerity of living in a cave, wear- ing a loin cloth and eating berries. Instead, I will show you how to incorporate these concepts wearing your favorite Calvin Klein yoga attire, having a cappuccino and hangin’ out in the comfort of your own living room. One of our greatest stumbling blocks as human beings is that we’ve become desensitized to the natural rhythms of life by asso- ciating so strongly with our minds, instead of listening to the in- herent wisdom of our bodies. Our most profound teacher is re- flected all around us in nature, yet in order to recognize and feel her rhythms we must first clear the mirror of our mind. It’s im- portant for us “citified folk” to get to the country periodically and undo the effects of the stimulation bombarding us from all direc- tions. I’m sure this is why the Rishis immersed themselves in na- ture, and it is much more challenging than ever before to find balance. This book can show you a way out of this dilemma, or per- haps a way In. Sit back and enjoy the ride, as I lay out a road map of what to look for in your own life using my life as an example of mostly “what not to do!” (You can thank me later for saving you !hundreds of thousands of dollars and blood, sweat, and buckets "10 Preface ! of tears!) Having said that, the most important guide you have is your own inner wisdom. Don’t hesitate to call on that part of yourself frequently as you read to check in and feel what I am at- tempting to communicate to you.

  • Yoga and Pilates: What’S the Difference? by Sherri R
    Yoga and Pilates: What’s the difference? By Sherri R. Betz, PT, GCS, PMA®-CPT Have you ever wondered… “What are the differences between Yoga and Pilates?” Someone jokingly said, “The difference between Pilates and Yoga is that in Yoga you close your eyes and think about god and in Pilates you keep your eyes open and think about your abs!” One guru said the purpose of Yoga is to become more flexible so that you could sit comfortably to meditate. Yoga certainly is more than that. I write this in trepidation of offending the beautiful Yoga and Pilates practitioners around the world. I hope to distill some of the information about Yoga and Pilates looking at some of the differences and similarities between them to help practitioners understand these popular forms of movement. My yoga practice began in Louisiana (when no one did yoga there!) at about the age of 15. At the local library, I happened to pick up The Sivananda Companion to Yoga and started trying out some of the poses and breathing. Actually, I skipped the breathing and avoided it for many years until I did my Pilates training and was forced to learn to breathe! Now I am devoted to my Ashtanga/Vinyasa Yoga practice and my Pilates work to keep my body in shape and to add a spiritual component to my life. It has been very interesting to compare a movement practice that has been around for 2000 years with one that has been around for only about 80 years.

SHIVANANDANAGAR—249 192 Distt. Tehri-Garhwal, Uttar Pradesh, Himalayas, India. Publishers’ Note This book is a compilation from the various published works of the holy Master Sri Swami Sivananda, including some of his earliest works extending as far back as the late thirties. The questions and answers in the pages that follow deal with some of the commonest, but most vital, doubts raised by practising spiritual aspirants. What invests these answers and explanations with great value is the authority, not only of the sage’s intuition, but also of his personal experience. Swami Sivananda was a sage whose first concern, even first love, shall we say, was the spiritual seeker, the Yoga student. Sivananda lived to serve them; and this priceless volume is the outcome of that Seva Bhav of the great Master. We do hope that the aspirant world will benefit considerably from a careful perusal of the pages that follow and derive rare guidance and inspiration in their struggle for spiritual perfection. May the holy Master’s divine blessings be upon all. SHIVANANDANAGAR, JANUARY 1, 1993.

Joogaa voidaan pitää yleisnimityksenä Intian uskontojen piirissä muotoutuneille askeettisille soteriologisille opeille. Käsitteellä moderni jooga kuitenkin viitataan sellaisiin intialaisesta joogatraditiosta tehtyihin tulkintoihin, jotka ovat syntyneet länsimaalaisten ja länsimaisen kulttuurin vaikutuspiirissä olleiden intialaisten toimesta viimeisen n. 150 vuoden aikana. Vaikka varhainen jooga olikin kiinteä osa intialaista uskonnollisuutta, modernin joogan suhde uskonnollis-filosofisiin juuriinsa on vähemmän yksiselitteinen. Tämä on havaittavissa myös Astangajoogan tapauksessa. Tutkielmani käsittelee suomalaisten Astangajoogan harjoittajien käsityksiä joogan merkityksistä.

  • Class Descriptions
    Class Descriptions: Vinyasa Yoga: Vinyasa yoga is a derivative of the traditional Ashtanga Yoga lineage and is the integration and synchronization of movement with the breath. In these classes posyuress are sequenced together in a strategic way so that each pose will help you find the balance and opening needed for the next. Vinyasa yoga has both physical and mental benefits. The flowing nature of the movements builds cardiovascular endurance while the poses build both strength and flexibility. The proper use and synchronization of the breath taps deep into the nervous system creating a relaxed, meditative experience. Perfect for beginners to advanced practitioners. Power Flow: Based on the Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga system, power flow classes are challenging and fun. They give the practitioner more opportunity to work on deepening their practice through more advanced postures and transitions, including armbalances, handstands, headstands, hip openers and backbends Be prepared to work hard, sweat, laugh and play as we explore our limitless boundaries together. Modifications and options are given for all poses making Power Classes accessible to anyone, however it is recommended that students already have some Vinyasa or other types of yoga experience. Ashtanga: One of the more traditional lineages of modern yoga, Ashtanga Yoga is a vigorous, sweat producing, detoxifying practice that brings strength, flexibility and endurance to the body. The meditative practice is designed to purify the body while synchronization of the breath helps to still the mind. The postures are organized in 6 set sequences, each of which always begin with sun salutation and standing poses and conclude with a finishing series.

  • Trabajar Con Chakras.Pdf
    Trabajar con Chakras ¿Qué es un Chakra? "Chakra es una palabra sánscrita que significa rueda o vórtice, y se refiere a cada uno de los siete centros de energía principales de las cuales nuestra conciencia, nuestro sistema energético, se compone. Estos chakras, o centros de energía, funcionan como bombas o válvulas, que regulan el flujo de energía a través de nuestro sistema de energía mediante la rotación del flujo de energía en una dirección de las agujas del reloj. El funcionamiento de los chakras refleja las decisiones que tomemos con respecto a cómo elegimos responder a las condiciones de nuestra vida. Abrimos y cerramos estas válvulas cuando decidimos qué pensar y qué sentir, y cómo elegimos para percibir y experimentar el mundo que nos rodea. Los chakras no son físicas, por la opinión. Son aspectos de nuestra conciencia de manera similar como nuestras auras son aspectos de nuestra conciencia. Los chakras son más densos que las auras, debido a la cantidad de energía que fluye a través de ellos, pero no es tan densa como el cuerpo físico. Chakras interactúan con el cuerpo físico a través de dos vehículos grandes, el sistema endocrino y el sistema nervioso. Cada uno de los siete chakras está asociado con una de las siete glándulas endocrinas, y también con un grupo de nervios llamado plexo. Por lo tanto, cada chakra se asocia con determinadas partes del cuerpo y en particular las funciones dentro del cuerpo controlada por el plexo o la glándula endocrina a la que está asociado. Todos tus sentidos, todas tus percepciones, todos tus posibles estados de conciencia, todo es posible para que usted pueda experimentar, puede dividirse en siete categorías.
