Hello to all, and to all the South Americans in the group,

I will be in Peru until August, and I was wondering if anyone knew of any

teachers in the area. None listed at ashtanga.com. I will be travelling a fair

amount, so I was also hoping to find anyone who would be interested in meeting

and practising for a few days at some point. I will be mostly in Peru and

Colombia, and possibly in Brazil but I am open to seeing any part of South

America!

Saludos y namaste,

Eleanor

Re: Moon Days

> > Does anyone konw the real reason for not practicing

> > in the full moon days?

 

I have always thought the New/Full Moon Days prohibition was to give men 2 days

off a month for their bodies to rest and recover. Otherwise, they are practicing

365 days/year with no break. Women can't practice when they menstruate, so they

have a few days off per month but men otherwise wouldn't have any days off.

Using the moon is a convenience, I always thought. I have never heard anything

about it being related to the lunar gravitational effects on water but, that

could have entered into the decision. I don't suppose there is any way to find

out for sure. As a woman, I ignore moon days because I already have period days

when I can't practice.

Constança,

 

Where are you from? With a name like that I was wandering if you are

from Brazil like me... :-)

 

You can find the answer to your question at Tim Miller´s website.

Hope that helps...

Newbie question

 

Hi everyone

 

My first post here, and as you can see from the caption, I'm very new

to ashtanga yoga and would like to seek some advice regarding when is

the right time to start ashtanga yoga.

 

I've been practising hatha yoga for about a year or so, and (I think)

am reasonably fit (I run about 5km in the gym 3 times a week). Just

finished an ashtanga introductory course but am wondering whether to

continue. To be honest, I like it a lot because it's more dynamic

than the usual hatha yoga but am wondering if it's a bad idea

(possible injury alert?) for someone with only a year of hatha yoga

experience to continue with this. I spoke with my hatha teacher and

she advised against it because of possible injuries from not knowing

the correct alignment of certain poses. I do agree with her that I

can't do all the poses with the correct alignment at this point in

time. I also have a lot of problems with chatarunga (sp?) and the

vinyasas (particularly the jump backs) - basically I was a runner in

school and have never done any sports that trains the arms

(therefore, pathetic arm strength).

 

Any thoughts on this? I bought David Swenson's book, where he's so

terribly encouraging and offers so many modifications to the poses.

He's obviously a believer that ashtanga yoga can be done by anyone

safely with modifications - but just wondering how you all realized

that you were ready to try ashtanga/decide that ashtanga was the only

form of yoga for you?

 

Apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere - did try shifting

through the old posts but couldn't locate any question like this. Let

me know if this has been discussed in another post. Many thanks!

Re: Full Moon

 

Hi,

 

The moon causing gravitational effects on human is a myth. There are

no tides in the human body because the water at different locations

within the body is still at the same distance from Moon, so no

difference in gravitational pull exists. Thus, a full moon has no

effect on balance whatsoever. This myth developed because of the

effect of the moon on large bodies of water like oceans. Tides arise

because of differences in the lunar gravitational pull at different

points in the Earth. Remember, the gravitational force of the Moon

decreases with the distance, so a rock on the side of Earth closest

to the Moon feels slightly stronger gravitational pull than an

identical rock at the Earth's center does, while yet another

identical rock on the side of the Earth that faces away from the Moon

feels slightly lesser gravitational pull than does the one at the

Earth's center. These tiny differences in gravitational pull

(involving relatively large distances) of the Moon are called tidal

forces. No such relative large distances exist inside the human body

and, thus, there is no gravitational effect and no loss of balance.

 

regards,

jeff

Several months ago I researched the "full moon - noashtanga rule". I

learned that because the human bodyis approximately 78% water and the

moon has an effecton water, a person's balance is thrown off.

 

So, one can be more prone to injuring himself when

trying to attempt balance poses. Or, injured while

performing the rigorous asanas of ashtanga.

 

Aditionally, my thought is that one can disrupt one's

inner harmony when trying to attempt a balance pose

when your balance is off.

 

namaste.

Eleanor,

 

If you decide to come to Brazil, just tell me. Brazil, as you know,

is very big, almost the same size as US. Depending on where you plan

to go, then maybe we can meet.

 

I live in Rio de Janeiro. It´s a very beautiful place with lots of

interesting things to do. You would realy like it!

 

Namaste,

 

Ana
