21 Things to Know Before Starting an Ashtanga Yoga Practice

The daily practice of Ashtanga Yoga has made me physically, emotionally, and mentally healthy. I am very grateful. When I first started practicing I wished I had a handbook that answered basic questions, encouraged me on how to go about those first classes, guided me on whether to travel to Mysore or not, and answered questions I had. Recently someone who has been attracted to this style of yoga asked me if I could provide such a guide because he said: “it all felt very intimidating from the perspective of a beginner”. I completely related. That is how this book was born. It is the book I wish I had back then.

Ashtanga Yoga – Introductory Poses – Master the Essentials

by Admin

Ashtanga Yoga – Introductory Poses – Master the Essentials

• Learn yoga or a new style of yoga by building in increments
• Yoga as a flow
• Clear guidance from Nicki Doane
• Sun Salutations A & B to establish the rhythm of movement and breath.

ASHTANGA YOGA:INTRODUCTORY POSES – DVD MovieYoga Journal’s Ashtanga Yoga: An Active Practice, Introductory Poses offers another take on the gamut (or glut) of yoga videos out there. Instead of picking the “time crunched yoga workout” or “weight-loss/relaxation/back/stomach” workout theme, Yoga Journal’s Ashtanga Yoga presents a straightforward, old-fashioned set of beginner asanas (poses) in the rigorous Ashtanga method. Ashtanga yoga places emphasis on focusing inward, using “breath-synchonized movement” to flow from pose to pose in a precise order. This is not a “yoga’s greatest hits” composite stretching video, but rather an introduction to a very specific method of practice. The video begins with some chanting in the hero pose, and instructor Nicki Doane invites viewers to repeat along after her. While standing on a scenic ledge in Hawaii, Doane slowly demonstrates the two beginning series, Sun Salutation A and B, which include familiar poses such as warrior, plank, and downward dog. Her instruction style and voice is markedly different from the dreamy and almost soporific likes of Patricia Waldon or Susanne Deason. Doane keeps the viewer “active” by punctuating the silences with her strong, almost stern voice and demonstrating each pose with her incredibly strong body. This viewer lost count as to how many “pushups” she does from plank to upward dog positions. The 60-minute tape covers ujjayi breathing and a few cursory poses outside of the familiar Sun Salutation, and could serve as either a basic wake-up sort of video, or merely an introduction to very basic poses. Viewers with this solid base introduction to the flow of Ashtanga yoga practice will be well-prepared for the next step. –Gilia Angell

Ashtanga Yoga: Practice and Philosophy

by Admin

Ashtanga Yoga: Practice and Philosophy

Ashtanga Yoga: Practice and Philosophy is the first book of its kind, presenting a comprehensive guide to all eight limbs of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. Join author Gregor Maehle, a seasoned yogi and compassionate teacher, as he guides you through the history and lineage of yoga; the fundamentals of breath, bandhas (energy locks within the body), drishti (the focal point of the gaze), and vinyasa (sequential movement); a detailed breakdown of the asanas of the Ashtanga Primary Series, following the traditional vinyasa count; a lively and authentic rendering of the complete Yoga Sutra of Patanjali, yoga’s ancient sacred text; and a glossary of yoga terminology.

In the asana section, Maehle describes each posture with clear, meticulous instructions, photographs, anatomical illustrations, and practical tips. Information on the mythological background and yogic context of specific postures brings further insight to the practice. In the philosophy section, Maehle illuminates the Yoga Sutra using the major ancient commentaries as well as his own insights.

This volume makes the entire path of Ashtanga Yoga accessible to modern practitioners. Both practical guide and spiritual treatise, Ashtanga Yoga is an excellent introduction to the eight limbs of yoga and an invaluable resource for any yoga teacher or practitioner.

Yoga positions for beginners are quite simple and easy to learn and you need to spend a little amount of time for practice. You can join yoga classes or can learn some basic and easy positions of yoga to start. Let us discuss some basic yoga positions that greatly benefit both your health and mind.

The Seated Yoga Position is one of the basic and easy yoga poses. A person sits with crossed legs in a straight situation, in this position. It is recommended to manage the diaphragm for smooth breathing process. The Standing Yoga Position is another great yoga practice to enhance the flexibility and strength of your muscle.

Next is Supine Yoga Position. This easy yoga position is perfect for those who want to energize their back with lengthening and strengthening. In the Belly Down Yoga Position, an individual lifts up his or her body from the surface and execute many stretching activities in a fluid motion. This yoga position is preferred for those who want to improve their abdominal and upper body strength.

Twisting Yoga Position is an important and broadly recommended yoga position for beginners.  It helps people to enhance the flexibility of their body and to maintain the functionality of abdominal region.
