Ananda Yoga Living

e individual para el alumno para lo cual incorporamos las secuencias de mi maestro Matthew Sweeney de Vinyasa Krama Yoga. Por ello somos una escuela inclusiva en que puedes empezar a practicar a cualquier edad y en cualquier etapa de tu vida. El metodo de Ashtanga Yoga en enfoca en tres aspectos TRISTANA:
-Respiracion controlada: esta es la parte mas importante de la practica y en la que controlamos como respiramos. Con una respiración controlada y balanceada podremos concentrarnos en nuestra practica, anclarnos en el momento presente, y desarrollar calor interno que purifica nuestro cuerpo y nos ayudara a eliminar impurezas y todo aquello que no necesitamos dentro.
*Técnicamente, dirigimos la respiración hacia la parte de atrás de la garganta contrayendo levemente la glotis con lo cual desarrollamos un sonido similar al sonido del mar.
-Secuencia de posturas del método de Ashtanga Yoga: estas posturas estas puestas inteligentemente en la secuencia para ayudarte a desarrollar movilidad, fuerza, y flexibilidad de manera balanceada. Las posturas están ligadas a través de la respiración y de esta manera se avanza progresivamente en la secuencia. En el metodo de Ashtanga tenemos 3 secuencias: Primaria - Yoga Chikitsa (Terapia del Yoga), Intermedia - Nadhi Shodhana (Purificadora del sistema nervioso), e Avanzada - Sthira Bhaga (Fuerza estable/Centrar Fuerza) que a la vez se divide en A, B, C, y D.
-Punto Focal o Drsti: con el cual dirigidas tu atención a un punto en particular en cada postura así podrás concentrar tu mente y enfocar tu practica. Con estos tres aspectos venimos al mat a trabajar con nuestro cuerpo y a entrenar nuestra mente para poder ir mas allá y conectarnos con nuestro espíritu. Nuestras clases:
-Mysore Ashtanga Yoga (Practica Abierta):
En esta clase es basada en el método tradicional en el que iras progresivamente aprendiendo la secuencia (una postura a la vez) al ritmo de tu respiración y bajo la guía de un maestro. Esta clase es ideal para principiantes ya que el alumno va a su propio ritmo y a la vez para alumnos con una practica mas estable y avanzada. En esta clase es donde realmente hacemos el trabajo interno. Apta para todos los niveles

-Clase Guiada Ashtanga Yoga
En esta clase la profesora dicta la clase de principio a fin, llamando a las posturas y a las vinyasas correspondientes (la cuenta de movimientos que unen las posturas con la respiración) de la Primera series de Ashtanga Yoga. En esta clase grupo de alumnos se mueve en sync y en harmonía con la respiraron y la cuenta. Estas clases son invigorantes y tienes que estar familiarizado con la secuencia de la primera serie de Ashtanga Yoga. Te recomendamos venir a una clase Mysore primero para que te familiarizes con los movimientos y la respiración. Claudia

ANANDA YOGA LIVING

Holistic Yoga School directed by Claudia C. Paredes - Authorized Yoga Teacher Level 2 in Mysore, India by Ashtanga Yoga Guru Sharath Jois from SYC before KPJAYI. We are focused on the traditional teachings of the Ashtanga Yoga method, the way it was taught originally in Mysore, India since its very beginnings; as well as adapting the sequence in a more therapeutic way according to the needs of the student for which we incorporate the sequences of my teacher Matthew Sweeney of Vinyasa Krama Yoga. We are an inclusive yoga school that encourages the student to start at any age and at any point in their lives. The method of Ashtanga Yoga focused on three main aspects called TRISTANA:
-Breath: our breathing is the most important part of the practice and with a controlled and balanced breath we can learn to concentrate in our practice and stay in the present moment at all times, as well as create internal heat that will purify us from the inside out making us release impurities and toxins that we don't need inside our bodies.
*Technically, we bring our breath to the back part of our throats contracting the glotis and allowing the breath to make a natural sound similar to the sound of the ocean.
-Sequence of Postures of the method of Ashtanga Yoga: the postures in the sequence are placed intelligently to help you develop mobility, strength, and flexibility in a balanced way. Postures as link one to the other with the breath and in this way one moves progressively through the sequence. In the method of Ashtanga Yoga we have 3 main sequences: Primary series - Yoga Chikitsa (Yoga Therapy), Intermediate series - Nadhi Shodhana (Nerve cleansing), and Sthira Bhaga (Steady Strength) which at the same is divided into A,B,C, and D.
-Drsti or focal point: through which you will direct your attention to a particular point in each posture helping you with concentration and focus in your practice. Remember where your eyes goes your attention goes. With these three aspects, we come to the mat to work with our bodies and train our minds, to go beyond the body and connect it to our spirit. Our classes:
-Mysore Ashtanga Yoga (Open practice)
This class is based in the traditional method of Ashtanga Yoga in which you will move progressively through the sequence (one posture at a time) at your own pace and under the guidance of the teacher. This class is great for beginners since you will learn from the start every movement at your own pace. It is also great for developing and going deeper in your practice for intermediate/advanced students. Open to all levels.

-Led Ashtanga Yoga Primary series class
In this class the teacher will teach the class from beginning to end, calling out the postures and their corresponding vinyasa (the count of by which the movements get linked with the breath) of the Primary series of Ashtanga Yoga. In this class, the whole group moves in sync and in harmony with the count and the breath. This is a very energetic class in which you need to be familiar with the sequence. We recommend you that you come first to a Mysore class to start to get familiarized with the movements and the breath.
