ashtanga yoga HELP!

[Guest guest]

Hello,

 

With respect to your question on weight training, my experience is that Ashtanga

is a beautiful compliment. Prior to my introduction to Ashtanga, my focus was

on hiking, lifting weights and cardio. Ashtanga really makes a difference on

your overall strength, spiritually and physically. Commit to the practice, and

to yourself, and results will follow.

 

Cheers

hi,

 

i'm new to ashtanga yoga. i've been doing yoga for awhile, but read

up on ashtanga and decided to purchase a few videos. first off... as

crazy as this sounds, how is the word "ashtanga" pronounced? also...

i have gained about 15 extra lbs that i am trying to get rid of. i

know that to focus on ashtanga, i should stop all other work outs

(weight lifting, running, etc). will i still achieve weight loss and

muscle tone without doing accessive cardio and weights? i know that

i should change my diet according to the proper yoga diet... but i

think that such drastic changes will take awhile. please help in any

information you can give me. weight loss is not the main purpose in

doing ashtanga yoga -- i am working towards a deeper understanding

of spirituality and myself, while balancing my mind, body, and

spirit -- but i also wanted to know if there was any weight loss

benefits that go along with it, or if i should look elsewhere to

help with the extra lbs.

 

thanks for any information

it is pronounced.... ash-tanga

i can only tell you bout my personal experience......i have had weight loss

doing ashtanga....a whole pant size in 7 months.i can also tell you that my body

is continually changing,toned and strong remarkibly enough!!!!! i only do

ashtanga,although i do practice 5 to 6 days per week! i would stress

this....that you go to an ashtanga studio and take part in led classes....there

are too many things that are difficult to grasp when practising on your

own,especialy for a beginner. besides you will have someone there to adjust you

and someone there to get feed back from which is of the upmost importance!

i wish you all the best and welcome you into this wonderful world of

yoga/ashtanga!!!! which is a gift for all!!!!

 

Namaste, Dean.

Hello!

I am not new to Ashtanga Yoga, but I am new to this forum, I mean - I was only

reading some messages, as it is very interesting to see how people discuss about

their practice, share their experience etc... I want to add my feeling of

Ashtanga too. I think, and I feel that Ashtanga makes the body more balanced in

both energetic and physical ways. This means that the energy which circulates in

the inner channels of body, not only the visible, but also invisible kind of

energy, starts to flow 'the right way', and as much we practice Ashtanga, as

harmoneos the body becomes, and day by day, month by month we kinda 'enter' the

magic of Yoga. The change of energy flow - this is the main power of Ashtanga as

I feel, this is what makes our body to be changed very quicly sometimes, and

especially if we do pranayama we can maximise the changes very very much. I

don't know if it's possible to describe all that I feel when I practice

Ashtanga, but everyone who does it has I think the same kind of

feeling of harmony, safety, relaxation......and peace!

I am sometimes trying to understand why there are so few people on the world who

know about this magic? Why doesn't this Ashtanga world become bigger? I feel

like I am enjoying this magic alone, and it makes me sad. So, I decided to send

a peace of positive approach to this network, maybe this will help those who are

still daubting about the magic they entered.

 

Peace and Love!

Hi,

 

I totally agree with your feedback on the benefits of Ashtanga. I think the

ashtanga community is not bigger than it is now, largely because the Ashtanga

practice takes a great deal of commitment. I know, as much as I like doing "the

yoga", there are many days I would need to drag myself to the mat.
