Power Pranayama

I came across these breathing exercisers, they are said to increase  lung capacity with just 30 breaths.  Click on the picture for more info on the POWERbreathe from Gaiam.    Imagine a class full of people doing a round of Kapalabhati through these?!  Let me know if you’ve tried one of these?  I’m intrigued. 

I’m due back from my amazing trip to Woodstock with my amazing teachers in a few days. I’ll see you in class.   john

Jivamukti Yoga

August 6, 2008 in Uncategorized, Yoga | Add Your Comment

Namaste,

This weekend I'll be heading out to Woodstock NY to spend time with my teachers David Life and Sharon Gannon.

David and Sharon are longtime yogis and founders of the Jivamukti style of Yoga.  Jiva means soul, and Mukti means liberation.  The Jivamukti yogi practices to become liberated in this lifetime, and to help all beings be free of suffering.  Next time you are in NY city, head up to Union Square and visit their beautiful Yoga studio.

So next week I'll be having some wonderful substitue teachers cover our classes. Jyoti will be teaching the Monday 4pm Yoga and Nia for life class in Cocnord, the Tuesday 6:30pm Lumina class in Wayland, and the Wednesday Bosse classes in Sudbury.  Linda Seik will be teaching the Thursday 5:30pm Yoga class in West Concord. 

The Monday Half Moon Hill class in Acton, and the Thursday 9am Maynard class will not be held next week.

I've got some great workshops planned for the fall, and there are still a few spots open in our Fall Yoga Retreat in western Mass.  I'm looking forward to sharing what I learn when I get back, and hear how nice your classes with Jyoti and Linda were.

Om Shanti,  I'll see you in class.

Shedding my skin
    skinning my shreds
       leaving behind
          every failure
             every success
                   every anger
                   ever expressed
                 or never expressed.
             What’s left behind
           stays behind,
         it’s ancient
   poisonous sting
all but forgotten.
 
           -Leza Lowitz Yoga poetry – Lines to unfold by   a very nice book.

Prenatal Yoga

July 18, 2008 in Uncategorized, Yoga | Add Your Comment

Namaste!   

I substitute taught a basics class the other night. A woman well-along with child came up to me and asked if it was okay that she was there.   I made sure she knew how to take care of herself and told her she was more than welcome. Throughout the class I kept an eye on her and she did just fine.    
 
I didn’t get a chance to talk with her after, but she told a friend that
she was asked to leave a recent class because of her ‘condition’, that it
would have been inconvenient for the teacher to have a pregnant
woman in class!    
 
Have you ever heard such a thing? I could understand if it was a
heated class, or a power type class, but I don’t think this was the case.
 
Yoga is a very introspective and personal practice that is sometimes
practiced in a group setting.   I encourage all to work at their own level and to make appropriate adjustments to keep their practice inline with their intentions.   Unless your intention is to bring harm, then this resolve will bring only good from your practice.
 
I wish I could have talked with her afterwards, her presence added to the peacefulness of the class, and she’s welcome at anytime, to all my non-heated classes.   
 
Great news!  I’ve arranged for just 12 of us to spend a weekend immersed in practice and relaxation this Fall.  The retreat center is gorgeous, and the food is amazing!
 
Signups are coming in.  Be sure to check out the Yoga With John Fall Retreat and resgister right away to get the early bird discount.
 
Om Shanti,  I’ll see you in class.
 
john
