I am a certified yoga instructor and have a non-ashtanga question but

I dont know where else to turn..I have looked through some books, on

line (found something but not sure of it) and thought I would ask you

guys!

 

What is the moon salutation/Chandra Namaskar?

 

I have a personal training client that is a pitta and my Ayurvedic

book says that this series offers a great cooling effect for those

hot pitta types! I found something on line but the ashtangee in me

said," boy, this is boring", However, venturing out of the box is a

good thing I beleive. This may be a good thing for her to add to her

personal practice just to assist with finding

nutrality...moon/cooling right?

 

So, If any of you out there venture into variouse styles I would love

for you to share your knoweledge!

 

Thank You, Namaste, Sat Nam, and Bliss

HI,

Diet is more important than incorporating an asana if the

person's lifestyle is taken into account. Also, doing abyanga at

least once a week will greatly decrease accumulation of body

heat which is what happens most readily from yoga when pitta is

out of balance. Very important to do this and more important to

adjust diet and lifestyle. Sorry if it doesn't answer your question

** There are (just like Surya Namaskar) several variations to this

salutation. Generally speaking, it is meant to 'cool' or relax the

body. Just as Surya Namaskar is meant to be done as the sun is

rising, so to Chandra Namaskar is meant to be done as the moon rises

in in the night sky.

 

Most Chandra Namaskars are noted for their inclusion of Hanamasan, as

well as a 'side-legged' lunge.

 

Om Shanti ...

I think that she knows this already. She asked how to do it.

Also, I see on your website that you are a holder of an "advanced

teaching certificate in Ashtanga yoga":

>From your website:

"Having earned advanced teaching certification in two Hatha

Yoga lineages - Sivananda and Ashtanga - she further received

diksha (initiation) into the Yogic fellowship in 1990, and is

currently a theology student at Kriya Yoga Seminary.  Yogini

Shakti dedicates her practice to the many outrageously beautiful

instructors, swamis, and gurus she has met - and continues to

meet - upon the path of her life."   

 

Just curious who gave you such a certificate - ? Since in

Ashtanga, the only person recognized to give people permission

to teach is Pattabhu Jois...
