Podcasts about Ashtanga vinyasa yoga

In this heartfelt episode Jeremy shares how his deep dive into Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga and spiritual practice transformed his life, offering insights into the power of letting go, embracing grace, and finding bliss through consistent practice. From navigating the awkward stages of yoga to exploring profound concepts like rigorous honesty, the role of pain as a motivator, and even touching on his fascination with UAPs (unidentified aerial phenomena), Jeremy's story is one of resilience, curiosity, and awakening. Join us for a rich conversation about yoga, recovery, and the human quest for truth, culminating in a beautiful quote from Nisargadatta Maharaj that captures the essence of the spiritual path: "Wisdom is knowing I am nothing, love is knowing I am everything; and between the two my life moves." --Jeremy York is a student of "the Holy Science of Yoga" who lives, works, and practices at the Satchidananda Ashram-Yogaville. As a spiritual seeker, he has been blessed to have found the dynamic and demanding practice of Ashtanga Yoga, as well as the subtle and sublime practice of Kriya Yoga. As the Hatha Yoga Pradipika tells us, “No success in Raja Yoga without Hatha Yoga, and no success in Hatha Yoga without Raja Yoga. One should therefore practice both of these well, till complete success is gained.” Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

John has been a student of Yoga, of AVY since 1987, though during retrospective reverie, john realises that much of his early years at school where spent daydreaming – “eyes fixed out through the window as if travelling to another dimension of reality..” When does one start yoga? John questions and believes that once you start to question where are you, where have you come from, what are you, what are you doing and where are you going? when these questions percolate and bubble to the surface, you become aware you are already on the Journey of enquiry, the enquiry into your true nature and purpose for being here on this physical plan. It is through the practice of AVY and deep enquiry into the self that John has brought all his earlier experiences and meditations into his life work of sharing. John's teaching is therefore very metaphorical, analytical, technical and often humorous, his teaching style appeals to students of many backgrounds and nationalities, teaching workshops throughout the world. John remains an avid student of yoga and relationship fascinated by the linking of different traditions and cultures through symbols, language and the Counted Method of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. John's wishes to acknowledge his first teacher Derek with great love and gratitude, Derek Ireland who introduced John to K Pattabhi Jois, John's root teacher, connecting him to the source.

She began her study of yoga at the age of 18 while attending the University of Massachusetts. From her first class, she knew she had found something special and deeply familiar. While she began to practice yoga on a purely physical plane and because it felt good, it became apparent some years later that there was more to Yoga than she originally thought. In 1991, Nicki traveled to Mysore, India to study with Sri K Pattabhi Jois, the master of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. She fell in love with the practice and continued her studies with Pattabhi Jois until his death in 2009. What she experienced on that first trip was a radical realization that yoga is much more than a physical practice. The yoga affected her deeply on an emotional and spiritual level. After that she was hooked! As she delved deeper into the Ashtanga practice she became curious about her teacher's teacher and his lineage. She learned that Tirumalai Krishnamacharya had been Pattabhi Jois' teacher and also the teacher of BKS Iyengar. This led her to study Iyengar Yoga with Mr. Iyengar, his children and with many of his senior teachers as well including Gabriella Giubilaro and Patricia Walden, at his institute in Pune, India. Nicki has always believed that her practice continued to grow and evolve due to her study and practice of both of these systems of Yoga. Nicki continues to study to study yoga with senior teachers and believes that a great teacher must always remain a dedicated student. Nicki's teaching has grown out of her practice and her deep faith in yoga and she chooses to honor her students as individuals first and foremost. Nicki's style combines asana, pranayama, philosophy, and poetry and her classes are strong and accessible to everyone. Nicki uses humor in her teaching to set her students at ease and she is considered to be very relatable and down to earth. She is known as a Teacher's teacher and loves igniting the spark of yoga in her students. Nicki lives on the beautiful island of Maui, Hawaii, where she owns and directs the Maya Yoga Studio on the North Shore of Maui. She has been featured in numerous articles and has graced the cover of Yoga Journal magazine. She is featured in 2 Ashtanga Yoga videos available through Gaiam and in 9 videos entitled Maya Yoga Vinyasa on her youtube channel. She is currently finishing a book on Yoga for beginners. Nicki teaches workshops and teacher training courses at her studio on Maui and travels all over the world conducting workshops, teacher trainings, and retreats.

He discovered Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga in 1991 with Sri K Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, India. He spent 8 years traveling to Mysore spending 4 – 6 months per visit to learn more of the system, then going off to some other exotic location to practice daily what Guruji had taught him. Gérald was taught up to the third series and was one of the first French students to have been personally authorized to teach by Sri K Pattabhi Jois.  In addition to his Ashtanga practice, Gérald continues to cultivate a meditation practice in the tradition of Kriya Yoga. He has a daily pranayama practice and has been certified to teach kriya and pranayama by his teacher, Sri O.P. Tiwari. LINDA MUNRO Linda took her first yoga class in 1995 in Toronto, Canada with Ron Reid. But a couple of months later she was in a fairly serious car accident and had to have physical therapy. This is when she decided to use the yoga as a way to compliment the therapy. Soon after she realized that the yoga would be a life time practice. A practice of asana, pranayama and meditation but also a practice of being truthful, a practice of being kind, a practice of being fearless, peaceful and happy. She believes that the practice of “yoga” is continuous; the practice does not stop when you roll up the yoga mat. The practice of yoga includes the way you live your life, the way you relate to your family, friends, co-workers and to the strangers on the street. This is the life long practice of developing yogic awareness. In 1997 she moved to New York City with her work in the fashion business while continuing a daily ashtanga practice studying under Eddie Stern. The year 2000 brought her to Paris, France. After thirteen years in the world of fashion she decided it was the time to move fully into the direction she had been moving since her first yoga class. She studied yogic scriptures and philosophy, having completed a 250 hour study program of Patanjali's Yoga Sutra, and a 120 hour course on the Bhagavad Gita under the supervision of Georg Feuerstein. She was one of his 10 mentoring students until he passed away in 2012. Linda is also a student of Sri O.P. Tiwari and is certified by him to teach pranayama. As well she has completed the anatomy for yoga training with Leslie Kaminoff and is a junior yoga anatomy trainer. Not to mention she has studied with the late guru of Ashtanga Yoga, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, India and NYC. In 2019, Linda and Gerald opened Ashtanga Yoga Golfe Juan, a new location to share their precise teaching of yoga on the Côte d'Azur, in the south of France, their new home.

Zulovich started his yoga journey in Boston, MA, and traveled to India three times— two times to Mysore, India to study with the Noise family, and one time to Chennai to study with Srivatsa Ramaswami, Vinyasa Krama Yoga). What to expect in the Yoga In Bosnia episode of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast Mike fell in love with yoga during his very first class. He took a class during a trip to Massachusetts. Yoga is impossible to learn from videos. There is an exchange of energy, immediate feedback, and alignment adjustments needed for yoga to occur. We talked about how technology is a great tool to use, but it does have its limitations— especially when it comes to yoga. Mike and I then talked about what is Vinyasa Krama yoga, and what it was like for him to go to India to studio Ashtanga Vinyasa and Vinyasa Krama yoga. Vinyasa Krama yoga is more accessible, with ten set sequences. If you do only yang, yang, yang. Then you may in deep need of yin. We all need balance in our lives. Yin yoga provides the balance of yang. As Mike says, “Yin yoga is the sister to the yang brother.” Of course, we also talked about yoga in Bosnia and what Bosnia is like as a country. Curious?

Norman E. Sjoman is the author of the 1996 book The Yoga Tradition of the Mysore Palace. The book contains an English translation of the yoga section of Sritattvanidhi, a 19th-century treatise by the Maharaja of Mysore. It contributes an original view on the history and development of the teaching traditions behind modern asanas. According to Sjoman, a majority of the tradition of teaching yoga as exercise spread primarily through the teachings of BKS Iyenger and his students. He claims this “appears to be distinct from the philosophical or textual tradition of hatha yoga. In addition, it does not appear to have any basis as a genuine tradition as there is no textual support for the asanas taught and no lineage of teachers." Sjoman studied at the University of British Columbia and Stockholm University before obtaining a PhD from the Centre of Advanced Studies in Sanskirt at Pune University. In addition, he holds a pandit degree from the Mysore Maharaja's Mahapathasala. Sjoman spent 14 years in India studying four different shastras n Sanskrit, with several pandits. In the mid 1980s, while doing research at the Mysore Palace, Sjoman made copies of the yoga section of the Sritattvanidhi. This was a "colossal" illustrated compendium, authored in the 19th century by the then Maharaja. The book included diagrams of 122 yoga asanas. Unlike the few other known historical yoga treatises, the emphasis was solely on the physical activity. Some appeared based on Indian wrestling and other gymnastic exercises. In that aspect more closely resembling modern yoga as exercise forms such as Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. Both B. K. S. Iyengar and Pattabhi Jois, who are major influences on modern yoga forms, themselves studied under teacher Tirumalai Krishnamacharya at the Mysore Palace in the 1930s. Sjoman discovered that the royal family, in the early 1900s, had employed a British gymnast to train the young princes. When Krishnamacharya arrived in the 1920s to start a yoga school, his schoolroom was the former gymnasium complete with ropes. Sjoman argues that several exercises detailed in a purposely written western gymnastics manual were incorporated into Krishnamacharya's syllabus, resulting in his vinyasa style, and further passed on to Iyengar and Jois. The Yoga Tradition of the Mysore Palace was published in 1996 including the 122 asana illustrations and extracts from the gymnastics manual. Naturally, the radical, perhaps heretical, idea that some of the practice of modern yoga as exercise is based on something as mundane as British gymnastics caused a stir in the yoga world.  

In this pod I chat with Nicky Knoff. Nicky Knoff is one of the last true Mothers of Yoga. The 84-year-old is renowned around the world for her teaching style of showing students how to look, listen, feel and tune in through the practice of yoga. A direct student of Bikram,  B.K.S. Iyengar and Sri Pattabhi Jois, Nicky is the founder of Knoff Yoga – a new system of yoga principles that teaches a transformative mix of Iyengar and Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga based on intelligent alignment and energetics. Bio via bodymindlife.com

Este audio, contiene la serie de Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, guiada, hasta la postura de Navasana + el cierre. Esta, no es la guia tradicional; es una guiada "en criollo" y la cuenta no se ajusta a la guiada tradicional de Ashtanga Vinyasa. La idea de este audio, es acompañarte en tus primeras practicas, respetando los respiros cuando corresponden, pero sin la cuenta tradicional en sanscrito, donde algunos respiros se cuentan y otros no. Este track te servirá para alinear la practica al ritmo usual de ashtanga vinyasa yoga y darte cuenta en que momentos te estas tomando mas tiempos, si son necesarios o son una maña que has tomado con el tiempo, y en que otros lugares te estas apurando. En una practica guiada saludable, te recomiendo no entrar en profundidad en las posturas que te cuestan, sino centrarte en lo sutil, los bandhas, la respiración... lo intangible... hace las posturas "dibujadas", "hilvanadas"... no las ajustes, no las apures, no te fuerces, no vayas mas alla si necesitas mas respiros. Si hay posturas que aún no haces y decidis hacerlas, hacelo suavemente, no me sigas, investiga tu cuerpo y depues retoma y unite. No te apures, no te aceleres, no te obligues... no seremos ni mas sabios, ni mas bonitos, ni mas ricos por hacer o no un asana. Recorda que el yoga esta para nuestro beneficio y no al revés. Espero que te sea de utilidad. Abrazo. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/veka/message

If you ever wondered how gods are made, our guest today will tell you they start out as heroes. They become big enough to thrust out at Brad Pitt and decide the fate of thousands of women and children. Hector must have been like that… a giant like Priapus or Goliath standing in the way of Achilles. Probably a good sized lad. Maybe even 6 foot 4 and full of muscles. Our guest today is very much like this. She is larger than life and it makes sense that she married a Golden God like Derek Ireland and bore him two children. They used to make statues of people like them (think Venus de Milo). These two took a heroes journey that the rest of us just read about or gaze at in museums. Kristina Karitinou sits with us today and talks about her epic life story, including her true romance with Derek Ireland, nursing him through cancer, and her subsequent depression upon his death. The pain of this event along with their two small children, shaped the rest of her journey. Is there one of us in the Ashtanga Yoga culture more wrapped into the fabric of this legendary tapestry? Derek looms larger than life. He who practiced in Mysore, India wearing body, ankle, and wrist weights; he who ran up and down Chamundi Hill every morning like Lester Dent's “Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze!” (Russell's wouldn't have been surprised at all to find Doc Savage practicing Ashtanga Yoga next to Derek and Kristina in a cave on the island of Crete, recovering from some epic adventure). The Ashtanga yoga practice is a method that brings the maximum beauty to both the male and female body. - Kristina Karitinou Kristina is an Ashtanga Yoga teacher and Zen practitioner from Athens, Greece, who's been teaching in the tradition of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois since 1991. She was qualified as an Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga teacher by her late husband Derek Ireland, authorized by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, and Certified by his son, Manju Pattabhi Jois in 2012. After many years of assisting Derek Ireland around the world, Kristina became one of the first Ashtanga yoga teachers in Europe.

While his words are often like poetry and his photos stun you with their raw aesthetics, it is that space beyond the form and beyond the mind that Ty invites us to discover and out which his reflections are generously springing from. He is the wizard of most intricate thought castles, the faqir juggling heavy philosophical constructs with lightness and innocence of a child, while his fascination for exploring the ways of embodiment of the creative principle that animates all life is like a magnet that draws you deeper into inquiry in your own practice. We are absolutely delighted to have Ty on our show.Show notesFirst spiritual experiences, communion with the nature and longing for the sense of connectionIntellectual intoxication, vinyasas of thought and postures of mindSomatic exploration of breath wavesTerror of letting go of the sense of the self and the brilliance of Ashtanga VinyasaClinging to a particular idea of what your practice should beAsana as embodying the form that supports the liberated movement of creative energyFatherhood and daily practiceMixing traditions, following your heart, exploring synchronicitiesYear-long online immersion course "Into the Depth"Visit Yoga Workshop Online to find out about online classes, workshops and immersions offered by Ty.

In this episode, we discuss: How yoga communities and the industry have changed during the Covid pandemic. The inspiration for Tia’s new book “The Practice is the Path”. Being comfortable living with uncertainty. Identity and attachment. The significance of dreams and the role of the dream state in breaking the spell of the everyday life.   Emphasizing the “not doing” and shifting the default mode to be one of rest Yoga and the art of seeing - the role of being seen and heard in relationship and healing. About Tias Little: Tias Little’s unique and skillful approach enables students to find greater depth of understanding and awareness in their practice, both on and off the mat. His approach to the practice is inter-disciplinary, passionate, intelligent, innovative and full of insight. Tias synthesizes years of study in classical yoga, Sanskrit, Buddhist studies, anatomy, massage and trauma healing. Tias began studying the work of B.K.S Iyengar in 1984 and lived in Mysore, India in 1989 studying Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga with Pattabhi Jois. Thus his teaching brings together precision of alignment, anatomical detail and a profound meditative experience. Tias is a licensed massage therapist and his somatic studies include in-depth training in cranial-sacral therapy. His practice and teaching are influenced by the work of Ida Rolf, Moshe Feldenkrais and Thomas Hanna. Tias is a long-time student of the meditative arts and Buddhist studies beginning with Vipassana and continuing in Tibetan Buddhism and Zen. His teaching style is unique in being able to weave together poetic metaphor with clear instruction filled with compassion and humor. Tias earned a Master’s degree in Eastern Philosophy from St. John’s College Santa Fe in 1998. Tias is the author of four books, The Thread of Breath, Meditations on a Dewdrop, Yoga of the Subtle Body, and The Practice is the Path. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

David Keil was introduced to yoga in 1989 by his Tai Chi Chuan teacher. From 1999 to 2003 David was an instructor of Kinesiology (the study of movement and musculoskeletal anatomy) at Miami’s Educating Hands School of Massage where he developed a fun, informal and informative style of teaching. As he taught incoming students with no prior understanding of anatomy, David was confronted with the problem of making such a complex and beautiful system accessible and understandable to the average person. In 1999 he was introduced to Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. It was in 2001 whilst presenting his anatomy workshops for the first time overseas in Penzance, UK that he first met John Scott. Two weeks practicing with John was transformational and he realized that he had found his teacher. This began a relationship of both teacher/student as well as a collaborative colleague relationship that continues today. John advised David to go to Mysore, India the following year, which he did. David arrived in Mysore in 2002 where he studied with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in the “old” shala. In fact, it was the last year that the old shala was used for practice. David was authorized in 2004 and returned yearly for extended visits to Mysore with his wife Gretchen Suarez. They are both Authorized Level 2

Join David Keil for a fascinating conversation about Yoga and Anatomy. In this episode we discuss anatomy in relation to the Ashtanga Yoga practice. David Keil was introduced to yoga in 1989 by his Tai Chi Chuan teacher. Both the Tai Chi and Yoga practice at the ripe age of 17 began his research into his own mind-body connections. His search continued through massage therapy where he discovered many insights and affirmations of what he had been exploring and finding on his own through his practices. As an instructor of Kinesiology (the study of movement and musculoskeletal anatomy) at Miami’s Educating Hands School of Massage from 1999-2003, David developed a fun, informal and informative style of teaching. David was introduced to Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga in 1999. But it was in 2001 that he met John Scott in Penzance, UK, presenting his anatomy workshops for the first time overseas. It was also John who told David to go to Mysore, India the following year, which he did. David arrived in Mysore in 2002 where he studied with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in the “old” shala. In fact, it was the last year that the old shala was used for practice. David was authorized in 2004 and returned yearly for extended visits to Mysore with his wife Gretchen Suarez. They are both Authorized Level 2 and grateful for their time in Mysore, meeting Patabhi Jois and studying with R. Sharath, his grandson, over the years.All of David Keil's offerings are here - https://www.yoganatomy.com/yoga-anatomy-courses/His book, Functional Anatomy of Yoga is here- https://www.amazon.com/Functional-Anatomy-Yoga-Practitioners-Teachers/dp/1905367465/For those that want to learn their muscles visit - https://3dmusclelab.com/

In this episode we talk with John and Julia Scott about the practice of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, their take on different aspects of yogic teachings, personal experiences and relationships. Drishti, Pratyahara and the definition of concentrationThe story of Julia's first spiritual experienceJohn's take on Tristana and introduction of a count as a further focus dimensionThoughts on structure and meditation in yogic vs. buddhist contextAbout Advanced A / 3rd Series of Ashtanga Vinyasa yogaBreathing dimensions, count and mantra"Ayahuasca is for everyone, but not everyone is for Ayahuasca" (Danny Paradise)

Adam talks to Kristina Karitinou.   Kristina has been teaching the tradition of Pattabhi Jois since 1991.  She was qualified as an Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga teacher by her late husband Derek Ireland, authorized by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and certified by his son, Manju Pattabhi Jois in 2012. After many years of assisting Derek Ireland around the world, Kristina became one of the first Ashtanga teachers in Europe. While living in the UK she was the main teacher of the Ashtanga Yoga community at the Natural Health Centre in Brighton and the first to teach the method at Brighton’s Evolution Centre. In 2001, Kristina and Michael Anastassiades established the Yoga Practice in London. Upon her return to Greece, Kristina’s focus shifted to the education of future Ashtanga yoga teachers and has since spread Derek Ireland’s teachings all over Europe, Asia and Latin America. For the past few years she has been actively involved in the practice of Zen chanting and sitting under the guidance of Zen Master Hyon Gak Sunim. Brought up in an artistic family, Kristina keeps herself in touch with her creative side and believes that knowledge, practice, meditation, arts, music, therapy, healing, healthy relationships, nutrition, nature are the vital elements to a balance life. As a teacher, Kristina respects and appreciates the honest efforts of practitioners, their choices and the influence of their own teachers. Her mission is to support the Ashtanga method and community with honesty and devotion. Kristina considers herself honoured to belong to the Ashtanga Lineage. She believes that teachers and Gurus belong to the lineage and not the other way around. Kristina’s work is a continuation of Derek Ireland’s teaching principles and techniques. Derek Ireland was one of the first students of Sri K Pattabhi Jois and is considered one of the most important yoga teachers of our era, having spread the Ashtanga method to and across Europe. Kristina’s work is dedicated to him. Kristina is currently living on the beautiful island of Crete where her yoga studio is also located. She teaches the Primary, Intermediate and Advanced A Sequence of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga and offers classes, workshops, retreats and teacher training courses all year long around the world. You can see more about Kristina on her website.

David Williams is 71 years old. He began yoga practice at the age of 20. He was one of the first foreigners to travel to India in the early 1970s to learn yoga. He was the first non-Indian to learn the complete Ashtanga Vinyasa syllabus from Pattabhi Jois. He was one of the few people certified by Pattabhi Jois to teach all four asana series and the pranayama. He has practised Ashtanga Yoga daily, without interruption since 1973, perhaps longer than anyone else alive. He lives in Maui, Hawaii. His memoir of travelling the world and learning yoga, MY SEARCH FOR YOGA is available from his website, ashtangayogi.com.Show notesGetting into Yoga and choosing a life of freedomEarly influencersFirst Westerner to learn all four series of Ashtanga YogaDavid's favourite excerpt from Katha UpanishadWorking with meditation in the asana and Bandhas and Drishti in forward folds as taught by Sri KrishnamacharyaKechari Mudra and Kevala KumbhakaReal alchemy of YogaWorking with SamskarasYamas and NiyamasThoughts on pain and injury and Patthabi Jois's way of teachingKrishnamacharya, adjustments and evolution of his teaching methodologyStrong adjustments and long-time practice

Gustavo Ponce, Director y Fundador de Yogashala Chile y Yogashala Wellness Center (Canal Om). Fue embajador de Chile en Japón hasta el año 1990. En 1972 se inició en Yoga durante su primer viaje a India. Introduce en Chile los métodos Iyengar, Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga y Viniyoga, luego de haber estudiado en India por muchos años directamente con los profesores Yogendra, BKS Iyengar, K. Pattabhi Jois, K. Desikashar y otros importates en India y en el mundo. Se ha inspirado a crear sus propios métodos; Dinamic Yoga, Prana Shakti Yoga, Sattva Yoga, Axis Yoga y otros. Entre los años 1985 y 1998 tuvo enseñanza directa de BKS Iyengar en el Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Institute de Pune, India, además de talleres en Londres y Rishikesh. Ha sido un gran aporte en la difusión y enseñanza del Yoga en Chile y ha formado a grandes profesores y también ha inspirado a muchos practicantes para que sigan su búsqueda en el mundo del Yoga. En ésta conversación hablamos sobre Qué es Yoga para él, cómo fueron sus inicios, su trayectoria, el aprendizaje directo en esos años con los grandes maestros de India. Cómo es su mirada sobre los métodos, sobre todo del Iyengar. Cómo fue el paso por el cáncer hace unos años y el aporte del yoga en esa sanación.

I'm often asked "How I got into Yoga?" or "Why did I start doing Yoga?". There isn't really a short answer to either of these questions, believe me, I've tried. What I did learn after plenty of time reflecting was that my introduction into Yoga and subsequent journey with Yoga manifested itself through a complex series of events and circumstances. Each one played its own special part in guiding me on my path that ultimately led me to Yoga and kept me coming back for more, and more, and eventually catapulting me to Mysore, India to pursue my 200 hour YTT certification in Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. And most recently opening up my own Yoga Studio, A New Breath in Liberty, NY. Looking back now, I'm still in complete awe about how everything lined up the way it did. It all happened the way it was supposed to in order to bring me to where I am today. I don't know how to really define it. Magic? Divine timing? Maybe it's both and maybe it's also this beautiful thing we call life. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Kevin Galalae is a Canadian human rights activist, author, historian and the world’s foremost independent authority on covert geopolitical programs and policies with respect to decarbonization and depopulation. Galalae occupies a truly unique role in the world today and an unprecedented position as a lone outsider and formidable force without official function or the support of any government, but who nevertheless imposed his will on the UN system, the Holly See and governments around the world and forced them to steer away from covert methods of depopulation towards overt population control legislation, therefore single-handedly reshaping the post-World War II international framework for peace and setting mankind on a new course.

Vincenzo ci ha trasmesso entusiasmo fin dai vocali che ci siamo scambiati per organizzare l'intervista. Un entusiasmo contagioso confermato dall'abbraccio con cui ci ha accolte e dalla voce con cui ha guidato la pratica...e poi lui sorride, sorride anche mentre e' in equilibrio sulle mani o porta entrambi i piedi dietro alla nuca con la stessa naturalezza con cui apriamo un cassetto o ci grattiamo la testa. Lo slancio e la serietà con cui affronta il rigore dell’Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga lo trasforma in un paziente esploratore che sperimenta e ricerca nuovi approcci, nuove vie. In un tempo che è letteralmente volato abbiamo affrontato il suo percorso di allievo e insegnante, una strada relativamente breve ma trasformativa e in continua evoluzione a dimostrare che con la giusta intenzione e' possibile perseguire e trasmettere Svadhyaya, cioè la ricerca di se stessi.

This past weekend we had the honor of hosting Ty Landrum for a workshop at Miami Life Center. His love and understanding for the spirit of the practice and its expression through philosophy, the breath, movement and asana, was experienced by all those present. Good news, we recorded one of his talks for you! Tune in as he shares a mythical story he feels portrays the path of a contemplative practice. He presents it as a metaphor for the type of consciousness we are trying to uncover in yoga and immerse ourselves in. Ty then goes on to share his reflections on the Ashtanga Yoga System and how its intelligence leads us towards transformation. Ty Landrum is the director of the Yoga Workshop in Boulder, Colorado. He teaches Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga in the traditional, contemplative and experimental style of his mentors, Mary Taylor and Richard Freeman. With a PhD in Philosophy, Ty has a special touch for explaining the theory of yoga with color and creativity. His passion as a teacher is to share the brilliance of yoga with anyone who wants to learn. To learn more about Ty and his international teaching schedule - https://tylandrum.com

Tias’s unique and skillful approach enables students to find greater depth of understanding and awareness in their practice, both on and off the mat. His approach to the practice is inter-disciplinary, passionate, intelligent, innovative and full of insight. Tias synthesizes years of study in classical yoga, Sanskrit, Buddhist studies, anatomy, massage and trauma healing. Tias began studying the work of B.K.S Iyengar in 1984 and lived in Mysore, India in 1989 studying Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga with Pattabhi Jois. Thus his teaching brings together precision of alignment, anatomical detail and a profound meditative experience. Tias is a licensed massage therapist and his somatic studies include in-depth training in cranial-sacral therapy. His practice and teaching is influenced by the work of Ida Rolf, Moshe Feldenkrais and Thomas Hanna. Tias is a long time student of the meditative arts and Buddhist studies beginning with Vipassana and continuing in Tibetan Buddhism and Zen. His teaching style is unique in being able to weave together poetic metaphor with clear instruction filled with compassion and humor. Tias earned a Master’s degree in Eastern Philosophy from St. John’s College Santa Fe in 1998. Tias is the author of three books, The Thread of Breath, Meditations on a Dewdrop and Yoga of the Subtle Body.

The Thread of Yoga Revealed   Namaste, Yoga practitioners! Thank you for checking out the Yoga Revealed Podcast BlogPost! Today we hear from an amazing individual, Richard Freeman, who has been practicing yoga since 1968. This is Alec Vishal Rouben and it is truly an honor to share this interview with you. Let’s share the story of how this interview unfolded…  My personal yoga journey began at CorePower Yoga, in the heat, trying to understand my body, habitual patterns of my mind, and life itself. In my first few years of practice, I was a go getter for the asana! A few years would pass and I became more thirsty for the depth that Yoga held. So, I began practicing at the Yoga Workshop in Boulder, Colorado, under the guidance of Ty Landrum, Richards Senior student, and Mary Taylor, Richards Wife. Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, as taught by Shri K. Pattabhi Jois; GuruJi developed the primary series and five other advancing series for practitioners to move through, building tapas (discipline) and a cultivation of devotion. One year at the workshop would pass and I would be accepted into Richard Freeman’s Teachers Intensive in July of 2015. This was a huge honor and it was sure intense! I had taken Richards class a few times before, but this was on another level of cultivating a genuine Student-Teacher Relationship. I feel incredibly lucky and blessed to study with Richard and Mary. I had manifested an authentic teacher, dedicated to the path. (Check back NEXT thursday for an interview with Mary Taylor!) If you have ever taken Richards class, you know how mindful, articulate, and slow paced the movements and breath patterns are. Leaving out the heat, mirrors, and music; distraction is brought down, creating more observation for the vrittis (thoughts) to pass through without attaching.  It was a chilly Boulder afternoon when I arrived to Richard Freeman’s home. I pulled up with a sense of comfortable nervousness. To Interview a Master teacher…an incredible blessing and honor it is. Richard opened the screen door and out came his 13 year old dog, Ruby, who needed help to climb the stairs. Richard and I later discussed how beautiful it is to recognize yourself within animals, sometimes easier than it is to do so within other humans. Richard takes me upstairs to his practice room and I lay down my laptop and recording device upon his extra long Manduka yoga mat, where two old style blankets rest, one for me, and one for Richard. He passes me a cup of water in a Stainless Steel cup. These cups shine with presence.I say, “These remind me of my Nani’s cups! They were from India.”Richard responds, “ These are from India. ~Richards long pause~ Pattabhi Jois and B.K.S. Iyengar have sipped from this same cup.” I contained my excitement as my I sipped from the steel cup, almost as if I was taking in sweet nectar. Amrita. And so we began. I interviewed Richard Freeman, Soaking up an hour of embodied wisdom as he has studied and enveloped himself in this way of life, in a mindfulness practice that dives far beyond the single facet of asana. Richard has been different from the beginning, he shares. You could consider Richard a Black Sheep in the Ashtanga Community. However, we won’t tell anyone that he uses props; keeping the postures a little more tailored to the individual. Listen to this podcast to hear from a true student in the practice, an example for us all to continue our studies, no matter if we teach or not. Plus, you will get a few tips for the natural experience of plateauing in Yoga.There is so much golden wisdom within this podcast and it is such a joy to share this with you. I encourage you to find a local Ashtanga Studio and give Mysore style practice a try (self-guided primary series…. use the cheat sheet for the poses!). One of the tips Richard offers is for individuals to try new studios and styles!  Richard Freeman and his wife, Mary Taylor are releasing a book in November of 2016, titled the Art Of Vinyasa. Look out for that! You can PREorder their new book here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1611802792?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=od_aui_detailpages00Visit The Yogaworkshop.com and try to catch Richard as he travels the world teaching Yoga. You can find one of Richards Books titled, The Mirror Of Yoga and studio talks from over the years at Yogaworkshop.com/store.   Richard will be teaching at the Hanuman Festival Located in Boulder, Colorado during June of 2015.   ALSO, check this video out! http://yogaworkshop.com/about/yoga-ruins-your-life.

Welcome to Everything Yoga: Smart, Simple & Straightforward with your host Meagan McCrary, giving yoga a real voice from a practical perspective. L.A.-based yoga teacher and freelance writer, Meagan McCrary has immersed herself in the American yoga scene, taking classes, researching and interviewing prominent teachers for her upcoming book, “Pick Your Yoga Practice: Exploring and Understanding Different Styles of Yoga” (New World Library, 2014). Today's podcast features an personal interview with Beryl Bender Birch, the author of "Power Yoga."  People, especially gym folks, love their Power Yoga. What most people don't realize is that Power Yoga is essentially Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga made American. Beryl Bender Birch (on the east coast) and Bryan Kest (on the west coast) were both studying, practicing, and teaching Ashtanga Yoga when they both decided to coin the term Power Yoga to make the practice more accessible to all Americans.  Beryl explains that the practice is still spiritual, although minus the overtly esoteric, becuase it's yoga. The two go hand-in-hand. She also talks shop on beginners, alignment and the importance of learning from a skilled teacher. She warns against jumping right into a full-on Power Yoga class and why yoga is different from any sport, workout, or physical activity: Just becuase you're a strong athlete doesn't mean yoga's going to be a breeze. That, and so much more, in today's interview with Power Yoga Guru, Beryl Bender Birch.   To connect with her visit: facebook.com/meaganmccraryyoga and please feel free to message Meagan with any questions or topics you'd like to see covered concerning yoga, and she'll do her best to address them on the show.
