Cub Yoga Studio | Bucharest, BU
In the holistic approach of Yoga Philosophy, we find Asana - the third branch out of the 8, as Patanjali (the man who first put Yoga in writing thousands of years ago) indicated in Yoga Sutra. In order to transcend the limitations imposed by the senses and the never-ending thoughts vortex manufactured by chitta | monkey mind, Asana Yoga guides us to shift the energy flow from descending to ascending and to release on the physical level all the accumulated energetical blockages so that we can, through devotion and consistency, experience more refined states of consciousness. So, the body becomes the very first vehicle through which you experience on a practical level the Yoga teachings.But mind and body are not separate entities. The grosier form of the mind is the body and the subtle form of the body is the mind. The mind and body alike hide tensions and bottlenecks of stagnant energy. Each tension accumulated on the mental layer has a physical correspondence and the other way around. Hatha Yoga helps to release this tension by somatically acting on the physical layer.
How does the practice looks like?
◽️Pawanmuktasan warm-up as a massage for joints and articulations and preparation for asana | physical postures practice
◽️Surya Namaskara | Sun Salutation to generate prana | vital force in the body
◽️With the body already warmed-up we practice a dynamic, active flow to restore the health as a natural way of living.
◽️We penetrate the depth of the practice through various Pranayama and meditation techniques.
There is only you and your breathing on the mat, your very inhalation and exhalation will support you during the practice. The consciously restored balance between the breathing and the physical movement will sustain you along the class. Over barriers is good not to forcefully jump, but to gently negotiate with them and to discover through your own experience how to push them and release your own way.
The Hatha Yoga class closely follows the teachings and techniques from traditional Hatha Yoga.
