1 Session #424 Traditionally Speaking: Ashtanga Primary to Intermediate Presented by: Linda Webster Ashtanga Yoga: The Eight Limbs of Yoga *Yama ethical disciplines *Niyama self observation *Asana posture *Pranayama breath control *Pratyahara sense withdrawal *Dharana - concentration *Dhyana - meditation *Samadhi a state of joy and peace --System of yoga derived from the teachings of K. Pattabhi Jois; learned from his teacher Krishnamacharya. --An approach based on a specialized sequence of postures and focused breathing techniques. Asana (physical) Practice: *Throughout practice, focus on --Breath *Primarily nostril breathing (keep the heat and prana within) *Ujjayi breath (a sound that becomes a mantra, or guide, throughout practice) --Bandhas (locks, or valves to regulate the flow or prana) *Mulabandha (pelvic floor) *Uddiyana Bandha (low belly / TVA) *Jalandhara Bandha (throat) --Drishti (gaze point) *Actually used to direct our focus inward, we find a Drishti to calm wandering eyes and distraction *9 specific drishti points in Ashtanga Yoga *Posture practice vs. Vinyasa (flow) --Posture practice utilizes techniques such as longer holds, in-and-out of postures, partner assists, education of actions, props and teacher adjustments for posture refinement; Sun Saluations (vinyasa) used for return to symmetry, creation of heat and breaks from isometric holds --Vinyasa practice utilizes shorter holds to promote flow and synergy, moving a bit quicker, assumes some familiarity of postures; Sun Salutations typically quite frequent throughout practice!warning! Beware of flowing Vinyasa practices too quickly. What is the science of the stretch reflex? How long should a stretch be held to allow a muscle to lengthen? What about alignment in the posture? Is there time to isometrically contract the stabilizers in order to protect joint connective tissues? (Stretch reflex: seconds!) 1
2 Primary and Intermediate Series (of Ashtanga system): *Primary Series: Yoga Chikitsa Yoga Therapy is designed to --Align body --Strengthen nervous system --Heal mental and physical *Intermediate Series: Nadi Shodana is designed for --Nerve Cleansing --Backbend focus, stimulates spine (housing for CNS) --Stimulates energetic regions of spine, pelvis, hips *Primary prepares for intermediate; intermediate prepares for Advanced *Not expected to be expert at one to move to the next, but should have familiarity and regular practice *All standing and the subsequent postures are designed to refine movements learned from Sun Salutations Some Details! *Generally a 2-hour practice (class can go longer, individual practice a bit quicker) *Full expression of a practice each posture held approximately 5 breaths *Starts with Sun Salutation A & B (5 each is traditional) --Bilateral (more stable) to Unilateral (less stable) --Symmetrical sequence --Rythmic movement to breath *Moves to Standing Postures (same sequence in both practices) --More weight-bearing, therefore more strengthening --More force from gravity, therefore more stabilizing needed --More balance needed --More heat created --Minimal Sun Salutations (vinyasa) in this section, as standing poses create heat and too many SS can become tiring early in practice *Progresses to seated, prone, supine, inversions, etc. --Less force from gravity, therefore less strength needed to hold asana --Floor becomes aid or hindrance --More SS utilized here to keep the heat --Easier to sit on floor after opening hips in standing postures --Seated postures re-create shapes from standing postures *Moves into Finishing Sequence (same for both practices) --Backbends (3x) and Forward fold (counter-balance) --Inversion 1 (with Jalandhara bandha) and Backbend (counterbalance to above bandha) --Inversion 2 (final stimulation; awareness of 7 th chakra) --Moving into quiet: finishing postures, finishing breaths to *Ends with Savasana 2
3 Primary Practice = 10 Sun Salutations (Warm-up/1 st slice of bread ) 53 Postures (Standing, seated, etc. / filling ) Finishing sequence (closing / 2 nd slice of bread ) *29 total SS Vinyasas within practice Intermediate = 10 Sun Salutations (Warm-up/1 st slice of bread ) 54 Postures (Standing, seated, etc. / filling ) Finishing sequence (closing / 2 nd slice of bread ) *39 total SS Vinyasas within practice ANATOMY OF POSTURES PRACTICE KEY LESSONS: *Sun Salutations (warm-up): Bilateral to unilateral / Flow with breath cultivating breath from the beginning / thorough warm-up of all joints / opening and strengthening front and back lines *Standing postures: create heat- not as many SS needed / stabilizing joints isometric contractions/ balance / open hips / prepare for deeper work / root and lower chakras *Seated/prone/supine/inversions: continue to manipulate what was started in standing work (repeat shapes)/ Need added heat (SS) / lower to mid-chakras *Finishing sequence: backbends now that body is warm / counter-postures / main bandhas / final chakras/ Poses held longer to bring down stimulation *Primary has fewer SS and works with physical body more; intermediate advances challenge with more SS and progresses to more neural system: Preparation!! *From start to finish, each practice continually goes deeper into muscle body and progresses to a peak of more advanced postures before coming back down: Progression!! *K. Pattabhi Jois said 99% Practice and 1% theory and Practice and all is coming! : Practice!! 3
