The physical benefits of twisting poses:- boosting your digestive system, massaging your abdominal organs, enhancing your core strength.

Use the basics of class 118 to explore the energetic power that is released by twists.

If you love Vinyasa Yoga - this class is for you.

Vinyasa Yoga - meaning the yoga of consciously placing mind, breath and body consciously together - as one - in space-time.

"The yoga of being" ... The idea behind the practice is simple, but it does take practice to "perfect".

1. Set an elevated intent to direct you "beyond mind"

2. Dristhi - focused gaze - concentrates the mind (dharana in sanskrit)

3. Ujjayi pranayama - concentrates and directs energetic life force.

4. Asana - poses - and the transitions between poses are used to create a steady flow in the direction of the intent.

5. Bhanda - locks - are used to "fuse/merge" the mind-body system together as ONE - or yoga.

As a yoga, all you need to do is follow the above steps, success is guaranteed, but it does take time, in my case many years.

Namaste.

(suitable for all levels of yogi).

Simple and slower.

And if you have been following these podcasts you will know that this means that you have the opportunity to practice with a deeper focus.

This class is for all levels of yoga. 

I hope you enjoy this class.

Namaste.

PS: I taught this class, and it was as if yogis entered a dream state, hence the name. Happy dreaming.

A full-core yoga practice in 60 minutes.

If you would like steadiness in your life, you need to work at promoting all aspects of your being that create steadiness of body, breath and a steady mind.

A steady core addresses your physical steadiness, which in-turn facilitates energetic steadiness through steady breath, which supports mental steadiness, through focused being.

Give this Jivamukti Yoga Class a try, and see for yourself.

Yoga of Action requires us to act consciously so as to grow spiritually. 

- No action is not an option, as there can be no growth. 

- Acting in a way that causes dis-ease, or dis-harmony causes regression. 

- Acting with equanimity or balanced "ease-iness" (as I sometimes call it) sows the seeds for steady spiritual growth.

From the Bhagavad Gita (chapter 3), Krishna describes the actions that are appropriate for such growth; for example, acting without personal gain will free you your mind from the results of the action. Hence a dedication for your actions in a Yoga Class.

Class Tips: - 

- Offer your actions up for the benefit of another.

- Practice without an idea of success vs failure, enjoyment vs suffering, or good vs bad, etc. Instead practice each pose and take each breath with a steady, yet open "ease-iness." 

- Check in at the end of the class, and during your day, and see what the outcome is.

"Our greatest obstacles to practicing yoga are our prejudices based on our preferences." 

~ from Sri Bramhananda Saraswati's commentary on Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. 

If we can learn to be open and accepting to changes and differences around us, as experienced within us, we open ourselves up to non-attachment, a delicate balance of life which leads us to yoga.

By practicing Different Dimensions, you may experience the Push and Pull of Prejudice and Preference. 

Be aware, relax, be open and accepting to whatever, as it arises, how it arises, let it come, but let it go.

This class (hopefully) will help you with your practice (abhyasa in sanskrit) of non-attachment (vairagya in sanskrit).

Namaste.

This is a shortened (perhaps easier) version of the 90 minute Jivamukti Yoga classic, Class 7 – BackBending.

This compact 60 min class leads you through opening postures that prepare your body to safely experience back-bending, so you can proceed to the deeper back-bends and open your heart with enthusiasm and confidence.

It is a simplified version of Jivamukti Yoga Class 7, leaving out some of the very challenging poses of the full class (e.g. hanumanasana, kapotasana), thus making this class a little more accessible to the average yogi.

Have a yoga-block handy for this class !

Namaste.

A dedicated yogi who practices with non-attachment will attain self-mastery of mind afflictions – and freedom from delusion. This advice can be found in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras 1:12: abhyasa vairagyabhyam tan nirodah (practice with non-attachment brings mastery of mind modifications).

This is the task you will face in this challenging Jivamukti Yoga vinyasa class. The intensity of the sequence is guaranteed to create waves of thoughts and subtle emotions which will arise and which can only be mastered, by releasing them and “letting go” through acceptance.

The class leads you through opening postures that prepare your body and mind for the challenges that arise later in the class. A pose may be enjoyed, disliked, a good or bad emotion may be triggered, feelings may change. The skill required to be learned is - "Allow thoughts to come, but allow them to go. Allow everything to come, but allow everything to go."

Hint: focus your awareness on the sound and or feeling of your ujjayi breath, which will help you “let go” of thoughts and emotions that may arise in a particular pose, and, through consistent practice help teach you non-attachment.

Namaste.

(this can be an intense class in places, so if you are a beginner, please proceed with due caution, and take rest when needed)

Practice a series of poses from the Ashtanga Primary and Intermediate Series in a way that is more accessible for the average yogi.

Ashtanga Yoga is a form of yoga as made popular by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, as taught to him by his yoga teacher Sri T. Krishnamacharya. It is a strict vinyasa yoga practiced in a fixed sequence of poses, where movement, breath (ujjayi pranayama), locks (bandha), and steady gaze (drishti) lead the yogi consciously from pose to pose. The name comes from Maharishi Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, where the aspirant practices 8 limbs (or steps in a practice) of yoga for self-mastery.

Vinyasa Yoga sequences, when practiced regularly (abhyasa), with dedication and non-attachment (vairagyabhyam) will lead the yogi through self-mastery (nirodah) - to a steady, calm, peaceful state of being that is free from afflictions.

Namaste.

A Strong Yoga Core helps create core stability.

Once you program core stability into your "mind-body system", you will experience a profound steadiness in your life - physical steadiness, as well as energetic and mental steadiness, leading to balance and clarity.

A strong and stable core consists of all those muscles that support and stabilize the abdominal region of your body. Your front, back and sides need to be worked in a conscious way to "switch-on" that stability. Further to physical stability, yogis work on creating openness, linked to energetic and mental stability, through Bandha (locks) and an expanded awareness to these.

From my own experience, core steadiness is profound, and hence this class was created to help you find steadiness in your life.

Namaste.

(this is a strong core class of 90mins, best suited for the adventurous yogi).

A Complete Yoga Core Work-Out to create core stability.

Once you program core stability into your "mind-body system", you will experience a profound steadiness in your life - physical steadiness, as well as energetic and mental steadiness, leading to balance and clarity.

A strong and stable core consists of all those muscles that support and stabilize the abdominal region of your body. Your front, back and sides need to be worked in a conscious way to "switch-on" that stability. Further to physical stability, yogis work on creating openness, linked to energetic and mental stability, through Bandha (locks) and an expanded awareness to these.

Namaste.

(this is a class open to all yogis, of all levels).

A Jivamukti Yoga class with emphasis on working your core gently.

Once a stable core is "programmed into mind-body" system", the yogi will experience a profound steadiness in their lives - physical steadiness, as well as energetic and mental steadiness, i.e. balance and clarity.

The core can mean many things to different people. Some believe a "6-pack" is equivalent to a strong core, but this is simply not true, as a 6 -pack alone will not stabilise the lumbar/abdominal region of your physical body (strong belly muscles alone will do the opposite).

A strong and stable core consists of all those muscles that support and stabilise the abdominal region of your body, i.e. front, back and sides need to be worked in a conscious way to activate and create that stability. Further to physical stability, yogis work on creating openness, and energetic and mental stability, through Bandha (locks) and an expanded awareness to these.

From my own experience, this steadiness is profound, and hence this class was created to help others find steadiness in their lives.

(this is a class open to all yogis, of all levels)

Namaste.

Namaste.

Vinyasa is a Sanskrit word meaning conscious joining / linking / placing your actions.  

If this is done unconsciously, the end result will be arbitrary. 

Through conscious intent, the Yogi can choose to undertake a series of actions for a desired effect. Thus it is your INTENTION, that consciously links the postures and breath, in a series of conscious actions.  If that intent reinforces the ego self, then selfishness and self-serving habitual tendencies will arise. The Yogi should therefore practice with sincere, compassionate actions to benefit others. In this way, ego-self will weaken its habits, and compassion will awaken, revealing a higher Self, free of the bondage of suffering, and full of joy.

Repeat the following before and after every yoga practice. 

"May all beings be happy and free." 

When practiced sincerely over time, the Yogi will shift toward Self-realization, the ultimate purpose (and goal) of Yoga.

Give it a try, the results have been proven over many thousands of years by many yogis before you.

Namaste.

(a stronger class, primarily for yogis with a regular practice, if you are new to yoga, please try another, beginner class)

This is a class for all levels of yogi, including Beginners.

Namaste.

This is a shortened (more accessible) version of the full 90 minute Astanga Vinyasa Primary Series.

This sequence of poses, linked with ujjayi breath, movement, gaze and intent, originated with Sri Pattabhi Jois of Mysore in India.

It is a strong vinyasa yoga sequence which is ideal for yogis who wish to have a strong 60 mins of yoga, or for those who seek to deepen and expand their yoga practice.

Namaste.

(Note Well: This sequence requires focused concentration and a fair understanding of yoga skills. If you are new to yoga, you should only practice those poses which you have knowledge of directly from a teacher).

Vinyasa Yoga flow taking you into Candle Pose - or Sarvangasana in Sanskrit.  

In this class you can progress to Candle - or unsupported shoulder stand.

This is an open class, which means that all students can practice. BUT, always practice with full consideration for your own well-being, what you can do, what you cannot do. Additionally - don't practice inversions if you have neck issues, shoulders issues, blood pressure issues, any eye pressure issues, or if you are pregnant.

Shoulder stand is the queen of yoga poses - so called because of the may benefits (physical, energetic, nervous, mental and spiritual benefits) that the yogi will gain from the practice. This is the reason that I always teach a supported shoulder stand in all of my classes.

Shoulder Stand (Sarvangasana = all body pose)  is challenging pose because it requires solid grounding to the Earth through open and steady shoulders, as well as a strong core (abdominal and lower back), firm yet open ujjayi breath, as well as a sharply focused and tuned mind.

- Essentially, a well-refined Vinyasa Yoga practice is a requirement for candle pose -

This class is a Jivamukti Yoga class - for those students who have a love for it.  I hope you enjoy the yoga.

Namaste.

A firm weekend class of Vinyasa Yoga - conscious placement with intentional effort.

Focus on steadiness in each pose:- a steady body, a steady rhythmic breath and a steady focused mind.

Focus on easiness of transitions:- letting go, releasing, then placing body, breath and mind.

This requires effort and easiness. 

From effort, steadiness arises, which expands to an experience of open easiness.

Enjoy the class.

Namaste.

Lokah samastah sukino bhavantu - "May all beings be happy and free."

Vinyasa Yoga practiced with this intent releases us from bondage and leads us steadily in the direction of freedom.

Compassion for all is a higher practice that frees us from egoic self-centered-ness, and expands our consciousness into peace.

Repeating the sanskrit mantra "Lokah samastah sukino bhavantu" reminds us that our freedom depends on freedom for all, selflessly motivating us to help others. 

Our freedom lies in compassion for all beings. Www.jivamuktiyoga.com explains the practice of compassion for all beings.

Namaste.

(a firm Jivamukti Yoga class open to all levels, but if you are beginner, please practice with consideration to your abilities)

Perfect "SUNDAY MORNING YOGA."

This is a strong class for the "purists", but give it a try even if you are newish to yoga!

It is "chilled", but requires active participation and focus, your reward will be a super relaxed day.

Namaste.

(take care of your-self, and always practice to your abilities).

A practice including Wide Leg poses promotes access to many therapeutic benefits.

 - e.g. Muscular, skeletal, abdominal, as well as their digestive, reproductive, circulatory, energetic, and mental concentration benefits. 

Prasarita Padottanasana (standing wide leg forward bend) and Upavishta Konasana (seated wide leg forward bend).

Although these poses are "safe" for most yogis, always practice with appropriate care, never to hurt oneself, or extend beyond your abilities.

Enjoy the sequence.

Namaste.

A Jivamukti Yoga class - focusing on classic Vinyasa Yoga practice. 

If you would like to expand your understanding of Vinyasa Yoga, give this class a try.

Vinyasa - "Conscious Placement" - placing our whole being in space and time with awareness and direction.

1) Intent - Sankalpa - or willpower, directing our spiritual being. 

2) Gaze - Drishti - steadying, directing and focusing our mental being into one pointed and directed action.

3) Breath - Ujjayi - victorious breath - calming, steadying, energizing and "linking" our mental and physical action energetically.

4) Body - Asana -  the physical vehicle for the action, pose to pose, breath by breath, moment by moment.

5) Locks - Bandha - sealing, bringing together, joining all the above "layers of our being", so that the actions are ONE. 

The end result of a series of actions is where we consciously direct ourselves, step by step, breath by breath, moment by moment. The practice of Vinyasa yoga trains us to be fully mindful of all of our actions in our life time.

Namaste.

(an accessible, but firm class - practice consciously and with kindness to self, honoring any physical limitations) 

Contentment (or Santosha in Sanskrit), is a quality that essential required for realizing states of higher consciousness - to experience Yoga.

The experience of fullness or completeness (Samadhi) can only manifest through inner contentment - this is because the mind is at peace no matter what ! There is no preference (pulling towards), no prejudice (pushing away), only an attitude of completeness. 

Contentment is the basis for non-attachment (Vairagya in Sanskrit) because it transcends cravings and desires of any kind, from which the yogi can finally LET GO of ego, and transcend to higher states of consciousness, free, uninhibited, and joyful.

TIP: - In the practice of Vinyasa yoga, the student is slowly conditioned to be OK, with whatever happens, how it happens as it happens - physically with poses, energetically with breath, and mentally with feelings.  Allow these to come, be Ok, and allow them to go, be Ok. This is Santosha - an attitude of contentment of mind.

Namaste.

(an accessible class for most yogis, always stick to a safe practice, and always be OK)

PS: Santosha is the 2nd Yama or inner-observance in Patanjali's yoga sutras (YS 2:32)

Backward-bending poses helps us move forward into our future with grace and freedom by relieving related fears and other negative emotions.

These mental blockages are held in our physical body as tightness in the thighs, abdomen, chest, throat and face,

Relieving this tightness by opening up the front of our body (i.e bending backwards), we can start to work with these negative emotions, "let them go", and open ourselves up to future possibilities.

This class is based on a Vinyasa flow format, where movement and breath are the key to shifting blocked energy.

Namaste.

(a class for advancing yogis)

Spinal health is a requirement for vitality - and vitality is LIFE. 

The ancient yogis realized this, and modern medicine confirms this.

I sequenced this class for a student who had minor spinal issues, so that he could keep his spine mobile and supported.

As with all classes I teach, the poses will encourage flexibility through a release of tension, and supported-ness, through building muscular strength to support the flexibility.

It is a class open to all yogis, whether a beginner, or an adept.

Namaste.

(It is important that you always consult a medical professional if you experience any discomfort or pain during a yoga practice).

Yoga is a systematic practice, that evolved and was perfected over millennia. Follow the steps, to find peace.

Moving through the steps, or "yoga limbs" the student can deconstruct the "parts", but ultimately re-integrate them into a liberated whole, that vibrates in harmony with the universal whole.

In this vinyasa class, we will use the sides of our Body to find freedom from residual tension, create a little more openness, to find the harmony that we seek. In a similar way you can work also with Breath and Mind, though more challenging !

My sincere hope is that by using these podcasts with determination, you will, over time, create an open stillness in your life - a steady and joyful re-connection to the Earth!

Namaste.

(a slightly advanced class, but open to all levels, if practiced with compassion to self).
