Relaxation occurs
when moving your body
in
unison with your breath.
In a relaxed and
gentle stretched body the breath will deepen
and
the pace will slow down.
A long and smooth
breath calms down the mind
and you become aware of
yourself
beyond your mind's agitations.
Yoga taught in the
traditional style of T. Krishnamacharya
Krishnamacharyas Yoga is
based on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, an ancient text about human psychology.
Here Yoga is defined as a specific state of mind and as the path to achieve
this. It is a holistic approach to reunite body and mind through the Yoga tools
of asana (physical exercise), pranayama (breathing exercise) and dharana
(concentration exercise).
The main idea of
Krishnamacharyas teachings is to teach what applies to the student, focusing on
the individual goals of the practice. The asana practice is breath centered and
function is always more important than form.
Yoga can help to sustain or
regain your physical, emotional and spiritual health.
