Camel Pose

2010-03-02T08:19:00.000-05:00

ustra = camel

Camel Pose

Step by Step

1)Kneel on the floor with your knees hip width and thighs perpendicular to the floor. Rotate your thighs inward slightly, narrow your hip points, and firm but don't harden your buttocks. Imagine that you're drawing your sitting bones up, into your torso. Keep your outer hips as soft as possible. Press your shins and the tops of your feet firmly into floor.

2)Rest your hands on the back of your pelvis, bases of the palms on the tops of the buttocks, fingers pointing down. Use your hands to spread the back pelvis and lengthen it down through your tail bone. Then lightly firm the tail forward, toward the pubis. Make sure though that your front groins don't "puff" forward. To prevent this, press your front thighs back, countering the forward action of your tail. Inhale and lift your heart by pressing the shoulder blades against your back ribs.

3)Now lean back against the firmness of the tail bone and shoulder blades. For the time being keep your head up, chin near the sternum, and your hands on the pelvis. Beginners probably won't be able to drop straight back into this pose, touching the hands to the feet simultaneously while keeping the thighs perpendicular to the floor. If you need to, tilt the thighs back a little from the perpendicular and minimally twist to one side to get one hand on the same-side foot. Then press your thighs back to perpendicular, turn your torso back to neutral, and touch the second hand to its foot. If you're not able to touch your feet without compressing your lower back, turn your toes under and elevate your heels.

4)See that your lower front ribs aren't protruding sharply toward the ceiling, which hardens the belly and compresses the lower back. Release the front ribs and lift the front of the pelvis up, toward the ribs. Then lift the lower back ribs away from the pelvis to keep the lower spine as long as possible. Press your palms firmly against your soles (or heels), with the bases of the palms on the heels and the fingers pointing toward the toes. Turn your arms outwardly so the elbow creases face forward, without squeezing the shoulder blades together. You can keep your neck in a relatively neutral position, neither flexed nor extended, or drop your head back. But be careful not to strain your neck and harden your throat.

5)Stay in this pose anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute. To exit, bring your hands onto the front of your pelvis, at the hip points. Inhale and lift the head and torso up by pushing the hip points down, toward the floor. If your head is back, lead with your heart to come up, not by jutting the chin toward the ceiling and leading with your brain. Rest in Child's Pose for a few breaths.

Uttanasana

2010-03-02T08:17:00.000-05:00

Standing Forward Bend

Uttanasana

ut = intense
tan = to stretch or extend

Step by Step

1)Stand in Tadasana, hands on hips. Exhale and bend forward from the hip joints, not from the waist. As you descend draw the front torso out of the groins and open the space between the pubis and top sternum. As in all the forward bends, the emphasis is on lengthening the front torso as you move more fully into the position.

2)If possible, with your knees straight, bring your palms or finger tips to the floor slightly in front of or beside your feet, or bring your palms to the backs of your ankles. If this isn't possible, cross your forearms and hold your elbows. Press the heels firmly into the floor and lift the sitting bones toward the ceiling. Turn the top thighs slightly inward.

3)With each inhalation in the pose, lift and lengthen the front torso just slightly; with each exhalation release a little more fully into the forward bend. In this way the torso oscillates almost imperceptibly with the breath. Let your head hang from the root of the neck, which is deep in the upper back, between the shoulder blades.

4)Uttanasana can be used as a resting position between the standing poses. Stay in the pose for 30 seconds to 1 minute. It can also be practiced as a pose in itself.

5)Don't roll the spine to come up. Instead bring your hands back onto your hips and reaffirm the length of the front torso. Then press your tailbone down and into the pelvis and come up on an inhalation with a long front torso.

Paschimottanasana

2010-02-10T02:20:00.001-05:00

paschimottana = intense stretch of the west (pashima = westuttana = intense stretch)

Step by Step

1.Sit on the floor with your buttocks supported on a folded blanket and your legs straight in front of you. Press actively through your heels. Rock slightly onto your left buttock, and pull your right sitting bone away from the heel with your right hand. Repeat on the other side. Turn the top thighs in slightly and press them down into the floor. Press through your palms or finger tips on the floor beside your hips and lift the top of the sternum toward the ceiling as the top thighs descend.

2.Draw the inner groins deep into the pelvis. Inhale, and keeping the front torso long, lean forward from the hip joints, not the waist. Lengthen the tailbone away from the back of your pelvis. If possible take the sides of the feet with your hands, thumbs on the soles, elbows fully extended; if this isn't possible, loop a strap around the foot soles, and hold the strap firmly. Be sure your elbows are straight, not bent.

3.When you are ready to go further, don't forcefully pull yourself into the forward bend, whether your hands are on the feet or holding the strap. Always lengthen the front torso into the pose, keeping your head raised. If you are holding the feet, bend the elbows out to the sides and lift them away from the floor; if holding the strap, lighten your grip and walk the hands forward, keeping the arms long. The lower belly should touch the thighs first, then the upper belly, then the ribs, and the head last.

4.With each inhalation, lift and lengthen the front torso just slightly; with each exhalation release a little more fully into the forward bend. In this way the torso oscillates and lengthens almost imperceptibly with the breath. Eventually you may be able to stretch the arms out beyond the feet on the floor.

5.Stay in the pose anywhere from 1 to 3 minutes. To come up, first lift the torso away from the thighs and straighten the elbows again if they are bent. Then inhale and lift the torso up by pulling the tailbone down and into the pelvis.

2010-02-04T03:47:00.000-05:00

Step by Step

1.Stand with the bases of your big toes touching, heels slightly apart (so that your second toes are parallel). Lift and spread your toes and the balls of your feet, then lay them softly down on the floor. Rock back and forth and side to side. Gradually reduce this swaying to a standstill, with your weight balanced evenly on the feet.

2.Firm your thigh muscles and lift the knee caps, without hardening your lower belly. Lift the inner ankles to strengthen the inner arches, then imagine a line of energy all the way up along your inner thighs to your groins, and from there through the core of your torso, neck, and head, and out through the crown of your head. Turn the upper thighs slightly inward. Lengthen your tailbone toward the floor and lift the pubis toward the navel.

3.Press your shoulder blades into your back, then widen them across and release them down your back. Without pushing your lower front ribs forward, lift the top of your sternum straight toward the ceiling. Widen your collarbones. Hang your arms beside the torso.

4.Balance the crown of your head directly over the center of your pelvis, with the underside of your chin parallel to the floor, throat soft, and the tongue wide and flat on the floor of your mouth. Soften your eyes.

Fables - The Squirrel and the Lion

2010-01-06T03:51:00.000-05:00

A squirrel, merrily leaping on the branches of an oak tree, accidentally missed its hold and fell upon a lion who lay at the trunk, basking in the shade. His Majesty awoke in anger, and, raising his shaggy mane, displayed his terrific teeth to the trembling squirrel, who, in the most abject manner, begged forgiveness for the intrusion. “I grant you your life,” said the lion, “but on condition that you tell me the reason why you little beings are always so lively and happy, while my time passes so irksomely.”

“Yes, sire,” replied the squirrel, “I will, in return for your mercy, comply with your request; but he who speaks the truth ought to stand higher than he who hears it; permit me, therefore, to ascend the tree.”

The lion consented to this; and when the squirrel was out of his reach he thus addressed him, “You seek to know how I am always merry. Conscience gives me a joyous mind, and learns, sire, that the infallible recipe for happiness—a good conscience—you are in want of. You are day and night oppressed with the sting of iniquity for the crimes and wanton cruelties you have committed. How many animals have you devoured, while I have been employed in carrying nuts to alleviate the distresses of my poor brethren! You hate, and I love! Believe me, there is great meaning and truth in these words, and often have I heard my father observe when young, ‘Son, let your happiness be founded in virtue, and hilarity will be the constant inmate of your bosom.’”

The Present

2010-01-05T04:10:00.002-05:00

Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them-work, family, health, friends and spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls-family, health, friends and spirit—are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same.

You must understand that and strive for balance in your life. How?

Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.

Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.

Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to then as they were your life, for without them, life is meaningless.

Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time you live all the days of your life.

Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each together.

Don’t be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly, and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.

Don’t forget, a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.

Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.

Don’t use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved.

Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way. Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is a Mystery and today is Gift…that’s why we call it The Present.

Yoga and Ethics

2010-01-04T03:51:00.000-05:00

Do Yoga teachers carry a responsibility towards Yoga? For musicians or artists, a skill of the subject is of course a prerequisite in order to do justice to it. Otherwise the music being played and the art portrayed will evoke strange sensations within the receiver. Well ok, sometimes it certainly does, but whenever it is in uniform with a greater whole, ah then it takes us to new realms of experience. Should we expect Yoga to be any different?

What yoga truly is is a fascinating topic now in the 21st Century. Never has there been a greater interest in the subject all over the world. Due to this explosive interest more and more people now desire to become Yoga teachers. That is great and I'm sure many people could do with a career change and hopefully follow their hearts and work with something they have great affinity for. But there is equally a slight problem when most of us as Yoga teachers are pretty new to the subject and just because we have practiced it for a few years does not necessarily mean that we have a good experience of what we are actually doing.

Due to the great demand for Yoga all over the world teachers have been called for like never before. Some of us have made a few trips to India, studied some books, watched a few DVD's, or even taken some Intensive Teacher Training Courses, to learn how to teach, or teach better!? But the irony with yoga is that people seem to focus more on wanting to become teachers rather than being dedicated practitioners of the art. One may ask what would one actually teach without proper practice, can one ever do justice to a subject without a whole hearted commitment to it? What happened to the personal experiences that all great teaching is suppose to be born out of?

Hmm ok, I know this may be a little sensitive and the general consensus at the moment seems to be that people are allowed to interpret yoga in any whatever way they like! Some even prefer to make it up as they go along! But the point I'm trying to make is that unless we spend years engaging with the subject in an honest way how are we ever going to derive some clarity from it? Things take time and one cannot expect to rise to greater clarity or deepened experience after only a few years, one has to be patient and give it time, but when clarity finally dawns upon you there is no need for any Certificate or Authorization from another because you are sustained from within, you start to experience yoga from within rather than looking for external verifications on the matter.

Some people often ask me whether there is anything wrong in starting to teach only after a few years of practice. 'Not at all', I normally reply, 'if demand is there, nothing is wrong in passing on a few postures or whatever information one may have acquired on the subject'. However the problem begins and starts to escalate out of control whenever we conceptualize a little too creatively about what yoga is, and according to will and fancy project our own conclusions to a thousand year old tradition that has systematically tried to define the operations of our mind, our various aspects of ignorance and why we are unable to escape the human predicament of suffering. So if we are too busy conceptualizing rather than listen attentively to what has been communicated to us from the ancient sages and then observe it within our own mind, unfortunately the very essence of yoga is bound to loose some of its pristine qualities.

Personally I feel most of us are ignorant to what yoga really is. At least I am, and although we may be able to put our legs behind our head, show off a few flashy arm-balances and cry out a few enchanted OM's, perhaps it is time we start investigating a little more into what we are actually doing, how the postures effect us, internally more than externally, the responses in our mind field and the actual impact from them over longer periods of time? What are the actual results of the various practices we engage in and how are we to better discriminate between what works and what is less beneficial, what is too intense or too sloppy, too fanciful or in accordance with ancient tradition. Of course hopefully we all aspire to be genuine, but being authentic to an ancient tradition is indeed extremely problematic when the tradition itself displays such great variety on the subject. So to get a proper experience of it at least one must engage whole-heartedly with what is accessible to us, digest it slowly before one attempts to make general assumptions about it. One of the problems that prevail is that some people believe their own personal style of practice is the very best there is, and hence they are busy arguing how other people are wrong and become rigid and stiff to other ideas that equally try to articulate what yoga is. Nobody is right nobody is wrong, but a dedicated practitioner will soon come to know in his/her own time what yoga is and how it awakens the light of discrimination to what is real and less. When you finally taste that there is no need to get into any arguments with anybody, because you know what works for you. Let other people also find their way. What right do we have to say we are better than anybody else? Who decides? On what bases are the criterias? The world of Yoga today is a great smorgasbord of choice. Pick whatever you like and practice what works for you, but make sure to give it time how will you otherwise come to know how it works?

Real yoga is so much more than a trend; it is an ancient tradition, stretching back for millenniums dealing with an inquiry into the essence of Self and how to find a different support from within rather than being swayed by the endless fluctuations of mind. So on one hand we have the ancient tradition articulated in texts and commentaries that gives us the various definitions of yoga, but the recent explosive interest in Yoga and all the great variety that has followed, has given us a whole new perspective of Yoga all together. We have Hot yoga, Power yoga, Aqua yoga, Laughing yoga, Hip Hop yoga, Spinning yoga, Universal yoga - You name it yoga, but although some of these developments may appear a little odd in contrast to the ancient tradition, they are still called yoga and hence we should welcome them into the tradition as long as they can define where the element of Yoga is found in their particular style of practice.

The explosive interest and rich manifold is by no means anything negative. It is a sign of our times that Yoga is called for like never before. It is equally a great opportunity for us to inquire into the many traditions and keep our body and mind sharp in order to create greater receptivity and space so we may be able to receive the essence of yoga from within rather than loose ourselves in fanciful projections on the field. Nobody said it was easy, but for the genuine seeker there are always hidden mysteries waiting to be revealed according to sincerity and effort. If one has only practiced for a few months or years, whatever one will be able to pass on will of course be very limited.

My proposal is therefore that we need to take responsibilities as Yoga practitioners/teachers if we are going to do justice to the subject. Most of us, including myself have just learnt some basic postures that we pass on in various names, shapes or forms, but in the greater scheme of yoga, physical postures are just a minor part of it and never meant to be the end goal in themselves. We therefore need to be honest to what we know and don't know if we are going to do justice to the great heritage of yoga. In the land of the blind, the one-eyed person becomes King, but in the field of yoga we need a different kind of seeing and unless that is developed the blind will lead the blind into further ignorance.

Muscle Respiratory

2010-01-02T03:46:00.000-05:00

In the yoga exercise, you know muscles are breathing?

We are both the standing, flexion, bend, twist and inverted, the muscles are in contraction and relaxation. We breathe the same time, muscle contraction and relaxation also. Muscle contraction and relaxation form the breathing muscles.

There are three levels of Muscle Respiratory: to the heart, centrifugation and so long.

To the heart muscle is to shorten the movement will have to resist gravity. Where to overcome the gravity of the movement, has been to the heart, which is equivalent to the muscles of the "breathing."

Centrifugal diastolic lengthening the muscles, slow movement, with the gravity. Any followers of the movement of gravity, are eccentric. Equivalent muscle "breath."

So long, is static, does not produce significant changes in joint angles, which is equivalent muscle "breath."

In order to better understand the above, let us look at the transition from the mountains to the fantasy-style chair back mountain style in the process of quadriceps how to "breathe": the beginning mountain style, the quadriceps is so long; the transition to a magic chair, the quadriceps is the centrifugal stretch of; keep magic chair, the quadriceps is so long; back mountain style, the quadriceps muscle to the heart contraction. Throughout the process, also constitutes a call a suction quadriceps.

When doing any-body should know the feeling of muscle contraction and relaxation, but also to know the feeling of breathing muscles. Knowing this will help us better when practicing asanas, learning to relax the muscles.

yoga for beginners:Headstand

2010-01-01T03:11:00.001-05:00

Inversions set yoga apart from other physical disciplines: Psychologically, they allow us to see things from another perspective. Emotionally, they guide the energy of the pelvis (the energy of creation and personal power) toward the heart center, enabling self-exploration and inner growth. Physically, they stimulate the immune and endocrine systems, thereby invigorating and nourishing the brain and the organs. When done correctly, inversions also release tension in the neck and the spine.

Because of their myriad benefits, Sirsasana (Headstand) and Sarvangasana (Shoulderstand) are considered to be the king and queen of asanas, respectively. Sirsasana develops our capacity for action (fire element) and enhances our ability to create (air element). Sarvangasana nurtures our capacity to stop doing and to become grounded (earth element), and it fosters our ability to be still and reflect (water element). Sirsasana makes us more alert and focused, while Sarvangasana makes us calm and receptive.
