Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga - Ashtanga Yoga with Ryan Spielman
Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga has been developed as a system of movement, postures and a certain breathing technique to progressively purify and tone the body and quiet the mind.
The Ashtanga Vinyasa system is intelligently sequenced so that each posture prepares the practitioner for the next. One must master each posture and sequence to a certain degree before moving on to the next. The series gets progressively more demanding, challenging the body to increasing levels of strength, flexibility, agility and balance as well as challenging the mind to increasing levels of concentration and relaxation.
Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is a set series of postures linked together with a specific breathing technique. This combination of postures, movement and breathing creates a meditative flow that strengthens and tones the body, relaxes the mind and provides a strong foundation for deeper spiritual inquiry.
I consider Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga a profound moving meditation and I teach it as such. It is a practice that anyone can do no matter how old. It only requires a willingness to learn.
I teach led Ashtanga classes as well as Mysore Style Self-Practice classes at The Life Centre in Notting Hill and at Triyoga in Primrose Hill. See Classes for more information.
The minute Ryan steps into the room the tone is set and the true practice begins. I find his classes to be a deeply meditative experience from start to finish.
Today I watch a movie: The Workshop, and I discovered you!
Never have I seen such a magnificent demonstration of Hatha Yoga!
In my youth I studied Yoga at the Yoga Vedanta University in Rishikesh,
India. I am a disciple of his H.H. Swamy Sivananda Nataraj. I went to
India to study Bharata Natyam. I spent 4 years at the Ashram and learned
Hatha Yoga from Swamy Vishnudevananda. I thought he was wonderful
until I saw you! I saw you in the movie and you make Yoga look like the
Lord Siva doing the Divine Dance of Creation! You are a beautiful man,
with a beautiful and perfect body who looks like the incarnation of Siva
Nataraja! In four months I will be 80 years old! I haven’t practiced Yoga for 40 years, but you have inspired me to start again! I only wish
that I could go to England and study with you, but my health and finances make this an impossible dream! Could you recommend a teacher in the Miami area? Maybe someone that you have trained?
