Samyama For Life - Traditional Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga

Una práctica de Yoga sentida desde el corazón se diferencia de una práctica sentida desde la mente. Seguramente se arrastran en el ADN características evidentes de dos mundos completamente distintos👉el oriental y el occidental y claramente por esta razón la práctica de Yoga en un cuerpo occidental difiere mucho de la práctica en un cuerpo oriental. Mi maestra en India invirtió horas en moldear mi mente occidental para que una práctica oriental (Ashtanga vinyasa yoga) integre principios esenciales y básicos cómo movimiento y respiración, drishti y bandhas. Los cuales no alcanzarían la perfección si no son sentidos.
En los cuerpos del lado West la perfección en y el delirio por el floating en los vinyasas es de mayor interés cuando el practicante establece una intrínseca relación con el Ashtanga Vinyasa y la verdad ese es el lado equivocado. Lo digo como alumna y maestra que a diario veo cuerpos trabados y mentes ansiosas, esto desde el punto de vista de un maestro o guía debe ser tomado como punto sensible a ser trabajado desde el origen es decir la Respiración. Pero aquí de nuevo hago un full stop ya que no se trata de cualquier respiración sino de una inhalación y exhalación profundamente sentidas.
Cómo respiras vives, te mueves, sientes y piensas enseñanza ancestral de la India. Este pequeño conocimiento puede cambiarlo todo no solo dentro del mat pero fuera de él.
Las alineaciones y mecánica del asana están ahí para invitarnos a sentir y eventualmente para perfeccionar la postura. El cuerpo que entra en la práctica con la mente difícilmente se permitirá sentir a lo largo del viaje hacia un asana y por lo tanto se resistirá a soltar lo que carga en demasía.
Respirar y sentir deben alcanzar la perfección para entonces dominar cualquier Asana y en cualquier estilo.
Y en el medio, silenciar la mente es llegar a la cúspide para que la postura sea una obra de arte.

Cuando occidente comprenda que integrar este conocimiento a las nuevas generaciones de yogis es de suma importancia, entonces habremos abrazado el lado terapéutico y medicinal de la práctica del Yoga.

for the soul

The Yoga Practice should emphasize in these simple habits and actions in order to keep the essence of
ourselves intact.

and all is coming

U N W I R ED

in order to feel ourselves again

Time to plant the seeds of love.

Just remember that the only goal is to live in good health, in love and to contribute with meaningful actions towards others.

and a different way of living

...the reward for our work is not what we get, but what we become.... Paulo Coelho

Behind every word and thought every breath, every movement, there's an intention, we cannot see it but we can feel it and that's called energy.
A powerful force that can travel faster than we can imagine.

Finally the practice, this specific yoga practice is taking its original shape. Its therapeutic side was forgotten, the personalized teaching was also left behind, we forgot the main purpose of practicing a set group of asanas, we forgot that bodies and minds are different so the way this practice should be approached.

Finally practitioners are understanding the depth behind Vinyasa and bandhas, finally this practice is taking back its profound values.

A deep meaningful exploration is the way I should describe the past 7 months of intense practice .
It has changed the way we approach Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga on the mat, it has changed the way we feel, love and live but most importantly it has upgraded our level of consciousness .
I am so proud of my investment, waking up at midnight, meditating and practicing at 2am to finally receive this powerful group at 5am Monday to Friday. We faced highs and lows, pain and pleasure, unlimited challenges just for the sake of deep healing.

Wonderful group, thanks to everyone who took part of this journey this 2023 season.
We learn together, growing together, we are one breathing the same air and working for the same purpose.
Thank you all, 🙏
We will meet back again in 2024.

The rule of this journey was very simple, " Do not come back as you left, come back anew "

Thank you for such an amazing experience, grateful to the place, barely untouched mother nature .reserve.
To all the participants, Cumbaya Ashtanga practitioners Marcos for his healing energy through the touch of his hands, food and Tibetan bowls, you did nurtured our souls.
Thank you, thank you 🧡

The real beauty and purpose of our existence resides within, and to get in touch with it we must silent the mind, unlearn and feel we are enough with who we became.

of internal organs the mind from whatever is familiar to us the outside to listen the inside.

Sometimes life is forcing us to reroute, for some the message is still blurry whereas for others is crystal clear. Yet for both the journey implies an open heart and a deep sense of humility.

The moment we came into this human body we were presented with the choice to evolve or repeat. And to evolve I must adjust certain parts of my body which are already challenging but the most important to put all the effort in is the brain. As Mr.BKS.IYENGAR has quoted it is indeed the most difficult part to be changed not impossible though.
The biggest power we all have is the capacity to create and the most relevant tool intelligent people use is . The magical ingredient to transform, change, and finally to evolve. But we need to understand the real meaning of it. It starts by appreciating the very essence of who we are, embracing the contradictions that co-exist within us.
Any form of opens the gate to discover who we are and what our purpose is in this life. I would say a journey of self discovery which requires effort, dedication, discipline and lots of love.
