(photo: Yoga@ Dewata Gym 2, Renon-Denpasar, every Sunday at 18.00 wita)Most of the time when yoga is mentioned in the press, it's something along the lines of, how good a workout is yoga or can you lose weight doing yoga. And while these are interesting questions, they are irrelevant to a whole sector of the yoga spectrum. I'm talking about gentle yoga, done for the joy of stretching and stillness of mind, not for the calories burned. If you're looking for a gentle yoga experience, try these styles. Integral YogaIntegral yoga follows the teachings of Sri Swami Sachidananda, who came to the United States from India in the 1960s and eventually founded many Integral Yoga Institutes and the famed Yogaville Ashram in Buckingham, Virginia. Integral is a gentle, hatha practice, and classes often also include breathing exercises, chanting, kriyas, and meditation.Sivananda YogaSivananda Yoga follows the teachings of Swami Sivananda, as brought to the west by his disciple Swami Vishnu-devananda. Vishnu-devananda came to the United States in 1957, making Sivananda an important part of yoga's first wave of popularity outside India. There are now Sivananda yoga centers in major cities in the US and western Europe, as well as nine ashram retreats.Kripalu YogaThe name Kripalu is associated both with a style of hatha yoga and a yoga and wellness center in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. Both were founded by yoga guru Amrit Desai, who came to the United States from India in 1960. Kripalu was named for Desai's teacher, Sri Kripalvananda, a Kundalini yoga master.Pose of the Week - Flying Crow - Eka Pada GalavasanaWhen you take a vinyasa-style yoga class, you place yourself fully into the hands of the teacher. He or she decides what postures you will do and in what order. Most of the time, I enjoy this surrender of control, but I do have one pet peeve (try as I might to rise above pet peeves) and it's this: I think I see the sequence building to a certain logical conclusion, an attempt at a climatic pose, and I turn out to be wrong. The moment passes, the pose is not taught, the class continues. Mr. Yoga Teacher, you owe me a flying crow.

ReplyDeleteI love to practice exercise, i think this activity is the best option to keep our total welfare and it is very fun. When we exercise frequently we can notice a change not only in our shape but in our mood too. Actually we can improve our sexual performance. When some cases when the erectil dysfunction present like a problem to buy viagra is a great alternative, how ever you must to combine it with exercises and a good food.
