Differences between Ashtanga Yoga and Vinyasa Yoga

Differences between Ashtanga Yoga and Vinyasa Yoga

In Vinyasa Yoga are two different ways of doing .

A . Gentle vinyasa flow - relaxing and therapeutic yoga exercises connected with breathing and movement.

Comes mainly from the Krishnamacharya and TKV Desikachar.

The course always begins with sun salutations to warm up the body , not connected with strength like in ashtanga yoga more relaxed , there are many variations, do it six times or multiples of six times.

The exercise program designed by the teacher through the lesson as intuition, he never do exactly the same program. We start with standing poses ,standing balances, followed low balances, seated exercises, flexibility for joints, body back stretches ,body back bends , twists and finally inverted poses.

We do exercises on both sides first on the right side after left.

The basic rule in the whole program is trying to choose the order Asana one after another to affect different parts of the body. We do not set similar exercises in a row one after another. This only happens on backward bends section (cobra, locust, bow), which is usually in that order . Using different variations for each and ever day.

To have therapeutic effects for the body the theory says the

exercise program should include after a forward bend a backward stretch.

In general follows an Asana with different effects on the body than the last so far it is possible.

At this point remember that many Asana that seem to look similar effect completely different to the body. Sometimes even a different breathing can change a asana .

Sometimes in gentle yoga flow , a very experienced teacher does in the standing section of the program , 5-10 similar poses first to the right side of the body ,than completing this circle of poses doing it to the left side .

That is done only for specific reasons and needs of this class and only in gentle flow . Not in dynamic , power vinyasa flow because it is very hard for the body to do up to 10 similar poses to one site each after the other , that would built a harder exercise for the body than ashtanga yoga .

B. dynamic vinyasa flow - exercise with strength and movement - was following the ashtanga yoga so it has an important effect from Pattabhi Jois teaching .

It starts normally with the sun salutations from ashtanga yoga where we do 5 +5 combined with unjiaja breathing or a easier variation of the ashtanga unjiaja breath .

The exercise program based on the principles of gentle flow , different asana is following ,we do not similar series of exercises such as ashtanga yoga. So the program is easier for the practitioner, it is designed to be easier for the body and requires less , offers more flexibility and a slim body type . Ashtanga yoga is offering more strength training and a more athletically body.

Ashtanga yoga is designed to be more difficult and demanding for the practitioner exercise program is given with every detail and practiced the same for each day over 2 years , for learning the body to do each and every pose perfect using all muscle groups to move and relax on each asana .

H Vinyasa Yoga requires more from the teacher, to do well, which should have the knowledge and experience to design the exercise program according to needs of the classes . Using his instinct and talent to know to feel how the class is following or if not and to modify in the class the program , to open up the students to more flexibility .

Διαφορές ανάμεσα στη Ashtanga Yoga και τη Vinyasa Yoga

2011-06-03T13:58:00.001+03:00

Διαφορές ανάμεσα στη Ashtanga Yoga και τη Vinyasa Yoga

Στη Vinyasa Yoga έχουμε δύο διαφορετικούς τρόπους άσκησης

Α. gentle vinyasa flow – χαλαρή και θεραπευτική άσκηση γιόγκα απόλυτα συνδεδεμένη με την αναπνοή και κίνηση .

προέρχεται κατά βάση από τον Krishnamacharya και τον T.K.V. Desikachar .

Το μάθημα ξεκινά πάντοτε με χαιρετισμούς στον ήλιο για ζέσταμα , με χαλαρή εκτέλεση , υπάρχουν πολλές παραλλαγές , έξι φορές ή πολλαπλάσιες φορές του έξι .

Το πρόγραμμα ασκήσεων σχεδιάζεται από το δάσκαλο και μέσα στο μάθημα ανάλογα τη διαίσθηση του , ποτέ δεν κάνουμε ακριβώς το ίδιο πρόγραμμα . Ξεκινάμε με τις ορθές ισορροπίες , ακολουθούν οι ορθές θέσεις , χαμηλές ισορροπίες , ασκήσεις σε καθιστή θέση , ευλυγισίες κλειδώσεων , κάψεις κορμού πίσω , στροφές και τέλος ανάποδες θέσεις .

Κάνουμε τις ασκήσεις που γίνονται και στης δύο πλευρές πρώτα στη δεξιά πλευρά μετά προς τα αριστερά .

Βασικός κανόνας σε όλο το πρόγραμμα είναι να προσπαθούμε να επιλέγουμε τις άσανα έτσι ώστε η μία άσανα μετά την άλλη να επιδρά σε διαφορετικά σημεία του σώματος . Δεν κάνουμε δηλαδή όμοιες ασκήσεις στη σειρά τη μια μετά την άλλη . Αυτό συμβαίνει μόνο στια κάψεις κορμού προς τα πίσω ( σανίδες ,κόμπρα , ακρίδες , τόξα )που γίνεται κατά κανόνα με αυτή τη σειρά κάνουμε διαφορετικές παραλλαγές για να μην κάνουμε το ίδιο μέρα με τη μέρα .

Για να είναι θεραπευτική η άσκηση θα πρέπει μετά από μια κάμψη εμπρός να τεντωθεί το σώμα προς τα πίσω και γενικά να ακολουθεί μια άσανα με διαφορετική επίδραση στο σώμα .

Θέλω να τονίσω σε αυτό το σημείο ότι άσανα που δείχνουν να μοιάζουν σαν στάση του σώματος επιδρούν εντελώς διαφορετικά κάθε λεπτομέρεια έχει μεγάλη σημασία ,αλλάζοντας κάτι σε μια άσανα έχει διαφορετική επίδραση .

Να σημειώσω ακόμα ότι σπάνια κάποιος πολύ έμπειρος δάσκαλος επιλέγει στο gentle yoga flow , κατά κανόνα στις ορθές ασκήσεις και τις ορθές ισορροπίες να δείξει ένα πρόγραμμα όπου ξεκινά να κάνει σειρά ασκήσεων πρώτα από τα δεξιά 5 –10 ασκήσεις και μετά ολοκληρώνει αυτό το κύκλο των ασκήσεων από την άλλη πλευρά , αυτό γίνεται μόνο στο gentle yoga flow και όχι σε δυναμική μορφή yoga .

Β. dynamic vinyasa flow – άσκηση με δύναμη και κίνηση – παρουσιάστηκε μετά την ashtanga yoga άρα έχει σημαντικές επιδράσεις και από τον Pattabhi Jois .

Ξεκινά κατά κανόνα με χαιρετισμούς της ashtanga yoga όπου κάνουμε 5 +5 ίσως συνδυάζεται με την αναπνοή unjiaja της ashtanga ή με μία πιο απλή παραλλαγή της unjiaja το πρόγραμμα ασκήσεων βασίζεται στις παραπάνω αρχές .

Δεν κάνουμε δηλαδή σειρές όμοιων ασκήσεων όπως στη ashtanga yoga . Για αυτό το λόγο το πρόγραμμα είναι πιο εύκολο για τον ασκούμενο , έτσι είναι σχεδιασμένο να κουράζεται λιγότερο το σώμα απαιτεί και προσφέρει μεγαλύτερη ευλυγισία και ένα πιο λεπτό τύπου σώματος από την ashtanga που προσφέρει πιο πολύ προπόνηση δύναμης και αντοχής και ένα περισσότερο αθλητικό σώμα .

Η ashtanga yoga είναι σχεδιασμένη να είναι πιο δύσκολη και απαιτητική για τον ασκούμενο το πρόγραμμα ασκήσεων είναι δοσμένο με κάθε λεπτομέρεια .

H Vinyasa Yoga απαιτεί περισσότερα από τον δάσκαλο , για να γίνει σωστά , που θα πρέπει να έχει την γνώση και εμπειρία να μπορεί να σχεδιάσει το πρόγραμμα ασκήσεων ανάλογα με τις ανάγκες και δυνατότητες τις τάξεις και να μπορεί κάθε φορά να δείξει κάτι διαφορετικό χρειάζεται διαίσθηση , ένστικτό ,γνώσεις , ταλέντο , αφοσίωση ,τόλμη και διάθεση για αυτοσχεδιασμό .

Kino MacGregor -Ashtanga Yoga Teacher

2009-11-29T11:03:00.006+02:00

Kino MacGregor is one of a select group of people to receive the Certification to teach Ashtanga Yoga by its founder Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, India. The youngest woman to hold this title, she has completed the challenging Third Series and is now learning the Fourth Series. Without any background in movement training Kino MacGregor tried her first yoga class when she was nineteen. Three years later, she joined Govinda Kai's Mysore-style classes in New York City and became a dedicated Ashtanga yoga practitioner. After seven months of traditional Ashtanga practice Kino traveled to Mysore, India to meet her true teacher, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois ("Guruji"). Upon her return she began real self-practice by practicing alone and devoting herself entirely to the study and teaching of Ashtanga yoga. After seven years of consistent trips to Mysore, at the age of 29, she received from Guruji the Certification to teach Ashtanga yoga and has since worked to pass on the inspiration to practice to countless others

After spending a major portion of her life actively engaged in personal growth work, Kino returned to Miami Beach to create a space dedicated to the integration of yoga, holistic health and consciousness. In 2006, she and her husband Tim Feldmann founded Miami Life Center, where they now teach daily classes, workshops and intensives together. Miami Life Center is a community built around yoga, holistic health and consciousness on Miami Beach www.miamilifecenter.com. In 2008 she produced two Ashtanga yoga DVDs (Kino MacGregor – A Journey, A Workshop; Ashtanga Yoga Primary Series) and a yoga practice card. She is currently working on two more DVDs and book about her personal experiences in yoga.

Kino is dedicated to carrying the torch of Ashtanga yoga throughout the world and sharing the amazing tradition of Ashtanga yoga with everyone who is inspired to practice. In her unique, inspirational and playful approach Kino helps all her students expand and deepen their understanding of yoga and life. Yoga found its expression through her message of spiritual strength, balanced flexibility and emotional peace.

Passionate about the environment, Kino recently pledged a monthly donation to Go Zero! to make her heavy travel schedule carbon neutral. As life coach and Ph.D. student in holistic health with a Master’s Degree from New York University, Kino integrates her commitment to consciousness and empowerment with her yoga teaching. She has been featured in Yoga Journal, Yoga Mind Body Spirit, Yoga Joyful Living, Travel & Leisure Magazine, Ocean Drive Magazine, Boca Raton Magazine, Florida Travel & Life Magazine, Six Degrees Magazine as well as appearing on Miami Beach’s Plum TV and the CBS Today Show.

Το Σύστημα Forrest Yoga® Αναλυτικότερα

Το σύστημα αυτό είναι βασισμένο στη Hatha Yoga. Η Ana Forrest δημιούργησε το δικό της σύστημα
και το εξέλιξε για τριάντα ολόκληρα χρόνια και συνεχίζει να εξελίσσεται και να βελτιώνεται.
Το φημισμένο ForrestYoga® System απευθύνεται στο σύγχρονο άνθρωπο, με τις σημερινές
καθημερινές συνήθειες, με τα άγχη και τις απαιτήσεις, και προσφέρει μια ολοκληρωμένη
λύση στις σωματικές αναζητήσεις άσκησης, παράλληλα με τις βαθύτερες και εσωτερικές,
ψυχικές και πνευματικές ανάγκες. Τα κύρια χαρακτηριστικά του συστήματος Forrest Yoga®:

* Βαθιά αναπνοή (Ujjayi)

* Ενεργοποιημένα πόδια και χέρια

* Σωστή ευθυγράμμιση σε κάθε στάση

* Μεγάλη διάρκεια παραμονής σε κάθε στάση

* Διαφορετικές τεχνικές αναπνοής σε κάθε μάθημα

* Δημιουργία δυνατών κοιλιακών – Forrest Abs

Το σύστημα Forrest Yoga® είναι το μοναδικό σύστημα Yoga, που έχει δημιουργηθεί ειδικά για τη δομή του σώματος των ανθρώπων του δυτικού ημισφαιρίου – όπως πόνο στον αυχένα, στα γόνατα, σκληρούς ώμους και γοφούς, προβλήματα τα οποία προέρχονται από το σημερινό τρόπο ζωής, την καθιστική στάση του σώματος, και τους καθημερινούς τραυματισμούς –όπως τραβήγματα μέσης από απότομες κινήσεις, στον αυχένα και στους καρπούς των χεριών από την πολύωρη εργασία στους υπολογιστές.

Το σύστημα Forrest Yoga® βασίζεται σε στάσεις της Hatha (asanas) και η κάθε στάση εκτελείται με σωστή ευθυγράμμιση έτσι ώστε να αποφεύγονται τυχόν τραυματισμοί αλλά και να απαλύνει παλιούς ή τρέχων τραυματισμούς. Η σειρά των στάσεων ποικίλει και είναι διαφορετική σε κάθε μάθημα με σκοπό να δυναμώσει όλα τα σημεία του σώματος αλλά και να ξυπνήσει σιγά-σιγά το σώμα ενεργοποιώντας την αναπνοή μας και φέρνοντας τη ζωτικότητα που μας δίνει το οξυγόνο σε κάθε κύτταρο του σώματός μας. Η αίθουσα είναι θερμή --όχι ζεστή-- στους 28 -29 βαθμούς Κελσίου, έτσι ώστε οι μύες αλλά και τα κόκαλα να είναι εύκολο να κινηθούν, τα ευλύγιστα σώματα να μακρύνουν περισσότερο και να προχωρήσει πηγαίνοντας πιο βαθιά καθώς στα μη ευλύγιστα σώματα η θερμότητα να τους βοηθήσει να επιμηκυνθεί και να μακρύνει ευκολότερα χωρίς τραυματισμούς.

Το σύστημα Forrest Yoga® έχει δημιουργηθεί με πάθος για να ξεμπλοκάρει σημεία του σώματος που έχουν κλείσει και να ελευθερώσει το σώμα με σκοπό να ξυπνήσει όλες τις αισθήσεις του σώματος.

Τα κύρια θεμέλια του Forrest Yoga® είναι:

H Αναπνοή,

H Δύναμη,

H Ακεραιότητα και

Tο Ανθρώπινο Πνεύμα

Walk-in-Beauty...!

In Ishta yoga we can use the knowledge of Ayurveda- the science of life, the practice of Tantra and the strengthening and purifying techniques of Hatha yoga to determine the poses, breath practices and meditations that suit our individual nature, thereby enhancing our Prana- life force, Tejas- Radiance and Ojas -grounded essence.Each class will include: * Strengthening vinyasa practice for all levels * Practice of the Satyam meditation – a tantric meditation that balances the heart centre and gracefully frees the unconscious from accumulated stress * Information on the doshas and asana, pranayama, mantra and meditation practices that suits each dosha * Deeper exploration of Prana, Tejas and Ojas * Strengthening poses and practices for all levels will be emphasized in this workshop * Chanting mantras to build Prana, Tejas and OjasSchedule3 day intensiveApril 29-May 1, 2006Saturday 2-5:30 pmSunday 2-5:30 pmMonday 2-5:30 pm
