As a person who has been passionate about yoga since 1998, I have a huge beef* with today's mainstream yoga ' industry'. [*Apologize to vegetarians and vegetarians there]
My beef is like this: from
Today, too many yoga studios cater to fashion and fashion trends, jumping on the trend and providing customers with what they want.
Sadly, this seems to be to provide customers with something "different" while educating, informing and motivating the growing ranks of yoga and yoga, in addition to hot yoga, Ashtanga or strength, and a complete yoga. world. Yoga.
I am performing a task. My task is to help you determine if you are really in a yoga car; help you break through the rut; change the status quo by introducing you to a bright world of yoga that goes beyond what you are currently doing.
My personal experience in yoga/history began with my first Hada class in 1998, a non-descriptive small studio in a suburban shopping mall. At that time, yoga was still very popular, not "fashion." Boss and teacher, a middle-aged Englishman who spent a long time in India with young yogis who spent time with yogis and masters gave me a solid foundation and yoga for continuing service. Love me today.
In the past 15 years, I have tried several other types of exercises - Ashtanga, Kripalu, Iyengar, Restorative, Bikram, Jivamukti, Anusara, Kundalini, Moksha, Power and Yin - feeling natural affinity for some people. ... completely disgusted with others [just because it is yoga does not mean it is all Big! ]
I agree with this fact not to impress you or to dazzle you, but because I feel that most yogis [and yogis] are making great damage to themselves today.
Yes, I am very happy that you are practicing yoga, but are you trapped in a yoga car?
Here are 5 simple questions to ask yourself if you are.
- Are you only going to overheated yoga classes, or high-intensity Ashtanga, Power or Vinyasa courses?
- Do you go directly to the yoga world through hot yoga without trying any other type of yoga in advance?
- Can you name 5 other different types of yoga? Have you tried one or more types?
- Do you know how and when different types of yoga are good for you [your thoughts, body and soul] and why?
- Do you know where to find these courses in your city?
Even in yoga, not only a variety of lifestyle tastesfrom
However, shaking your routine and practice is a great way to keep up with your thought/body/spiritual needs on any given day, never going from day to day.
For example, if you feel slow, then a vibrant Ashtanga or Vinyasa course is exactly what you need.
In the cold, windy and wet autumn, you have cooled to the bones, nothing better than the warmth of Moksha or Hot Yoga courses.
If you are a motivated, strong A-type personality and have just completed a 60-minute intense spin, the best thing for your body is a gentle and efficient repair course, even a Hatha course, gently stretching out Your muscles... from
Do not from
75-minute hot yoga class!
Don't misunderstand what I mean. I like my Moksha [hot yoga] practice, but there are many days, although living in a major city center, I hope that when I feel that I am more likely to enter Kripalu, recovery or wonderful "old school" Hatha courses like it And within walking distance. Unfortunately, it all comes down to demand and supply. Today fewer people ask for Kripalu, Hatha, Kundalini or Restorative courses instead of Hot Yoga or Ashtanga / Vinyasa / Power yoga classes.
To help you get rid of your yoga rut, here is my personal "playlist" that includes 5 different types of yoga for you to explore and change your everyday life.
The key here is to try different types of yoga classes, see how it resonates with you, then move forward, remember to adjust what your mind/body/soul needs on any day by choosing one. Doing the same old class week after week, this will not only bring repeated stress and pressure to your muscles and joints, but also limit the magic and positive impact of your yoga practice on your life. Beyond the mat.
Hatta
Historically, Hatha Yoga has described any physical exercise in yoga. Today, courses sold at Hatha usually mean that you will get a gentle, slow-paced introduction to the most basic yoga poses, with no movement between poses. You may not sweat at the Hatha Yoga class, but you should eventually make the class feel longer, more relaxed, and more relaxed. The Hatha course is a great place to learn beginner poses, relaxation techniques and yoga. It includes basic style [pose], breathing [breathing] and meditation.
Kipalu
Kripalu is known as conscious yoga. This gentle, introspective exercise guides practitioners to maintain posture, explore and release emotional and mental disorders. Kripalu exercises 180° from goal-oriented Power or Ashtanga. Efforts are discouraged, and precise alignment is not as important as some other yoga traditions. Kripalu Yoga has three stages. The first phase focuses on learning each position and the ability to explore the body. The second phase involves maintaining posture for a long time, cultivating attention and inner consciousness. The third stage is like a kind of meditation in motion, in which the movement from one posture to another is produced in an unconscious and spontaneous situation. This is simply happiness!
restore
In a restorative yoga class, you will lie on blocks, blankets and yoga mats for a long time, relaxing your muscles in a passive position. This is an absolutely delicious way to relieve stress and soothe worn nerves. It is also very beneficial if you recover from an injury or illness. Contrary to what many of you think, these passive poses are very powerful and effective, and you don't have to work that hard in another type of exercise. In other words, a good recovery course can be more rejuvenated than a nap. The studio is often available on Friday nights. What better way to get rid of the stressful week and be full of energy for the weekend.
Yin
Yin Yoga is a quiet, meditation yoga practice. It is also known as Taoist Yoga. Yin focuses on prolonging connective tissue and is designed to complement positive yoga [more physical exercise for muscle formation in Ashtanga, Vinyasa or Flow type exercises]. The yin-nose posture is passive, but unlike repairing yoga. With Yin, you should relax your muscles and let gravity work. Full disclosure: In the yin, you can expect to stay in position for a long time, in some cases 5 to 20 minutes. Not only does this create space, but it also restores and expands your range of motion, but it's a great opportunity to practice meditation and quiet monkey thinking. One of the amazing things about Yin Yoga is that it allows you to release the deep tensions that most of us maintain in key joints: ankles, knees, buttocks, entire back, neck and shoulders. The result is increased flexibility while appreciating the physical abilities of the body.
Kundalini
Kundalini's practice focused on waking up the energy at the bottom of the spine and pulling it up. In addition to posture, typical courses include chanting, meditation and breathing exercises. What you can expect is a constantly moving, uplifting posture. The mobility of practice is designed to release the energy of Kundalini [snake] in your body. Most people don't know that they even have it - that is, the energy of Kundalini. The easiest way to think about it is as a supply of energy, coiled like a sleeping snake at the bottom of the spine, waiting to be awakened and tapped. And Kundalini's training is designed to do this - wake up and impact the powerful prana / vital energy above the body. What you can get from the Kundalini practice is an amazing yoga snoring that will make your energy soar, posture and meditation will keep you grounded and focused. It's not just a great workout; it's great for those who seek greater spirit and thought/body awareness.
So you have it. Explore 5 new yoga exercises.
