as well as this one.
Latest details and schedule down below.
Hope you can make it.
Antes de partir hacia Japón, Anthony nos visitará de nuevo para que podamos disfrutar juntos de una Pascua verdaderamente yóguica.
Al ser consciente de todas las dificultades con las cuales nos podríamos encontrar al practicar en casa, el propósito de Anthony será el de ayudarnos a ser autosuficientes dentro de la práctica personal o, en sus propias palabras Overcoming Asana at home (Superando la Asana en casa) que, en realidad, es el nuevo título de su ya famoso blog.
El taller está creado para todos los niveles. Si eres un profesional experimentado o un principiante, podrás descubrir nuevos enfoques en la creación de una práctica personalizada que se adapta perfectamente a nuestros vehículos ‘karmáticos’ (estructura mental/corporal).
Nuestro objetivo es crear un entorno libre de estrés y muy positivo donde, durante 5 días, podamos disfrutar todos de una práctica de yoga equilibrada e integrada, compartir experiencias, reír y estar presentes; en otras palabras, convertirnos en una pequeña comunidad de exploradores espirituales.
La idea original era la de mostrar el desarrollo de Ashtanga, partiendo desde Krishnamacharya a través de Pattabhi Jois para presentar la práctica; una exploración de la tradición Krishnamacharya - los orígenes de Ashtanga; el Ashtanga actual; la Vinyasa Krama más tardía de Krishnamacharya y cómo ésta apoya Ashtanga y también los estilos emparentados de Vinyasa Yoga.
El taller de Ashtanga se divide en cinco ‘mini talleres' (mañanas) formado por unas clases dirigidas que representan las diferentes aproximaciones a la práctica de Ashtanga desde la perspectiva histórica, seguidas por las ‘clínicas de técnica’.
Por las tardes trataremos de desarrollar una caja de herramientas de opciones para adaptar y modificar nuestra práctica por si surgiese la necesidad o el deseo, dedicándonos a la práctica de Vinyasa Krama y/o Vinyasa Yoga, Pranayama y meditación.

ENGLISH INFORMATION:
Before leaving for Japan, Anthony will pay us one more visit so we can enjoy together a truly yogic Easter.
Being aware of all the difficulties one might encounter when practicing at home, Anthony will aim to help you become self sufficient within your personal practice or, in his own words “overcoming asana at home” – this is actually the new title of his now famous blog.
The workshop is open to all levels. If you are either an experienced practitioner or a newbie you might discover fresh approaches in creating a personalized practice that can fit perfectly your karmatic vehicles (mental/body structure).
Our aim is to create a stress free and highly positive background where during 5 days we can all enjoy a balanced and integrated yoga practice, share experiences, laugh and be present, in other words to become a small community of spiritual explorers.
The original idea was to show the development of Ashtanga, coming out of Krishnamacharya through Pattabhi Jois to present practice; an exploration of the Krishnamacharya tradition - the origins of Ashtanga, current Ashtanga, Krishnamacharya's later Vinyasa krama and how it supports Ashtanga and also the sibling styles of Vinyasa Yoga.
The actual Ashtanga workshop is divided up into five 'mini workshops' (mornings) made up of led classes representing different historical approaches to Ashtanga practice followed by 'technique' clinics. The evenings we will seek to develop a tool chest of options for adapting and modifying our practice should the need or desire arise and will be dedicated to the practice of Vinyasa Krama and/or Vinyasa Yoga, Pranayama and meditation.
For any questions feel free to contact us, we will be more than happy to hear from you. Contact
The first practice will look to the origins of the Ashtanga vinyasa practice as we know it now, in Krishnamacharya's yoga Makaranda (1934). Krishnamacharya was Pattabhi Jois' teacher. We will explore some of the longer stays and interesting use of breath. We'll usekrishnamacharya's approach as a way of introducing aspects of the practice to those who are new to Ashtanga but in many ways this might be thought of as the most advanced version of the practice.
In the second morning practice we will move forward to the 1950's and look at Ashtanga Vinyasa as found in Pattabhi Jois' Yoga Mala focusing on the long, slow breathing in postures indicated by the text as well as a continuation of the full vinyasa found in Krishnamacharya.
The third mornings practice will introduce the 1974 syllabus and and look to later developments in Ashtanga, through the 80's up to present day. Full primary series Ashtanga in 90 minutes or less, there will be a focus on conserving energy and efficiency.
In the fourth day we'll look at Manju Jois's presentation of Ashtanga. For me Manju's presentation of the practice captures the best of all periods. The breath is long and full, we do our best at the postures we struggle with but then move forward. Manju's presentation is filled with options, we can breath more slowly, introduce full or half vinyasa, keep our eyes open with drishti or closed, also, modifications of postures if necessary. There is perhaps less of a separation between Primary and the first half at least of 2nd series ( me may explore some of the easier backbends of 2nd series). Manju's practice is an integrated practice, the asana followed by pranayama and meditation, possibly even a chanting option.
The final morning's practice will be a free mysore self-practice where there is the option to take your practice in whatever manner you wish, there could be twenty-two different versions of Ashtanga Vinyasa in the room, for me that's an exciting thought.
