YOGA SUTRAS OF PATANJALI
Chanting & Discussion
Thursday, January 20, 2005; 1:45-5:15 pm
Friday, March 11, 2005; 6:00-10:00 pm
Held at Downtown Studio
An overview of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. The Yoga Sutras, written by the great sage Patanjali, is the single most important text for students studying to become Yoga Teachers. The very vibration of these Sutras, as chanted by Paul, enables seasoned students to achieve a visceral experience of these pertinent teachings and insight into how they apply to daily life. We will be chanting and understanding with proper Sanskrit inflection this ancient text as it pertains to our present day life as teachers and students of yoga. Open only to trainees unless otherwise permitted.

YOGA SUTRAS of PATANJALI
Chanting and Understanding
Designed for the Teacher Training Program this weekend sutra training will be open for guest students. Participants will be introduced to the Sanskrit Language for the purpose of chanting. We will use chanting of the Yoga Sutras as a means of focusing the mind and creating a deep joy so that we may be open to the depth that these teachings offer us.No experience necessary as the chanting is a powerful meditative force that will allows each one to feel an awakening of the intellect. Open to any practitioners that would like to take a step up from their understanding of yoga practice.

Aasana Sequencing
How to construct a practice so that aasanas prepare for each other
building up to our peak aasana, and using aasana to soften the
effects of these more challenging postures. We must be careful
to not get caught trying to know too much from the outside of
our postures. Often times we may find ourselves trying to progress,
struggling to do more and better postures.
Let us not be fooled to judge progress from the outside. It's
the proper experience that we are looking for in our practice.
This is not a linear progression but rather a removal of what
has been blinding us all the while. Learning to practice to release
the Self from bondage rather than to accomplish some physical
goal is the focus of our workshops.

Teacher Training in
YOGA for ALL
YOGA for ALL
®
Teachers Training..
.. is offered so that students who understand their practice may
help others learn. Students that have practiced for many
years and those that have taught for many years in this or other
traditions, may apply for our program. This personalized instruction
will deepen your ability to work with students and understand
their differing needs.
At YOGA for ALL
®
teacher training's considered an ongoing life process. We are
not so concerned with how one gets a piece of paper and into the
marketplace as how one conducts oneself for the improvement of
their own practice as a means of teaching others.
How to create a practice that reverberates so intensely in your
being that it pours over into the people who learn from you. At
the same time respecting where your student is rather than trying
to bring them to where you are or think that they should be.
Teaching is a part and parcel of your practice. It does not replace
your personal practice, but enhances, taking it to a higher level.
In other words, you must practice on your own and teach - in combination. One alone without the accompaniment of
the other will not offer the higher realization of your purpose.
Probably it takes about 10 years of practice to make a worthwhile
teacher. Logical reasoning may cause us to suspect a teacher that
claims to have been teaching since they began study. However,
the attempt to teach what you have learned will make you a better
student. Therefore teach whenever anyone asks you for help or
insights even when you have seemingly something small to offer,
but be cautious in referring to yourself as a teacher or attempting
to teach what you vaguely understand. Preferably remain a student
for the rest of your life, allowing people to learn from your
studious attentiveness.
Look for teachers that claim to be students. Honor their humility.
Look out for the self proclaimed masters and stay far away.

Rudi in His Own Words
My first yoga teacher weighed probably ninety pounds and was ninety
years old, but the force coming out of him was so strong for me
I actually had to put my hand against the doorjamb and push myself
through the door when I walked into the room with him. The energy
coming out of him really burned in me. It caused such a tremendous
response that after a day or two I had to crawl on my hands and
knees, kicking myself along the woodwork, to get myself in. It
brought about a tremendous reaction in me, a response that had
to do with work, and of course, the response set up a tremendous
resistance.
It is only a very stupid person, someone who does not wish to
grow, who has critical attitudes. It is only someone who has nourishment
inside who can open and surrender his or her attitudes and limitations,
draw from another person, and learn. I have studied in many parts
of the world. And, I have sat with people who I felt were very
different from me, and it certainly bothered me. It always bothers
us to feel and sense differences. But you learn that you can tune
in to somebody, you can develop inside you a sympathetic vibration.
You can understand them by having the security inside to open
and feel and try to set up a field of energy between yourself
and another human being and begin to draw from that person what
he or she has to offer. This is, finally, the only way we can
grow and the only way we have the capacity to change. Even if
we have learned many things, even if we have, spiritually, certain
developments, it does not represent the entire capacity that we
might have or the entire capacity that exists in the world.
It is no different than taking a course in a university. What
a professor teaches may exist in a book, but to extract from that
person the knowledge that you want and then, above that, the grade
that you desire, requires reaching into the person, understanding
his or her psychology, and drawing from him or her - regardless
of your own attitude and the resistance you might feel towards
that kind of personality. That is spirituality.

Understanding Counterpose
Who needs them and when. How to choose counterposes for your students. Specific counterposes for specific poses, is it always the same for everyone? What happens if we don't teach counterpose or even if we use the wrong counterpose for students needs?
Do all Yoga schools make use of counterpose? Are the counterposes you use correct for your students?
Let's refine this art in our teaching and learn how to take care of our students even if they strained to accomplish a difficult pose. An asana practice could be properly planned to counterpose stresses and challenges your students acquire from job or sport activity or daily life.
In a teachers workshop we will cover how to generalize and particularize for yourself and students this little understood art of counterpose.

Excerpt from 'Sri Krishnamacharya the Purnacarya'
Q:
Does Hatha Yoga mean 'a forceful yoga'?
No.
Q:
Some people describe that the kundalini goes through the sushumna to the sahasrara. Is it correct?
No. It is the prana vayu that moves through the sushumna.
Q:
What happens to the kundalini when the highest of Hathayoga is mastered?
It is not explained in our shastras. It's position itself is disputed i.e. where and what happens to the kundalini is not clearly mentioned in the shastras.
Q:
Is dhyana, dharana, samadhi a sadhana or a siddhi?
Since it has been mentioned as a samyama it is attainable. So it has to be a sadhana.
Q:
Should yama and niyama, precede the practice of asana and pranayama?
Yama, niyama, asana and pranayama go together. Without the varnasrama dharma, yama and niyama are not possible.
Q:
Yoga means to join. It is like many grains together?
It's like sugar and water or salt and water.

Tirumalai Krishnamacharya...
(PHOTO AT TOP)
was the teacher & father of TKV Desikachar who gave the name 'Viniyoga'
to his fathers teachings. He was also the teacher of famous BKS
Iyengar and Patabi Jois. The Ashtunga method originated from Mr
Jois's training with Krishnamacharya. Basically he has made his
influence on Yoga as it is taught today.
His main contribution to the practice of Yoga was that it should
be adapted to the individual, and not the individual to Yoga.
He was born in 1888. He traveled throughout India studying from
the best teachers he could find. He had mastered Ayurveda (ancient
life & healing system of India) and Sanskrit. When he was 28,
he had learned of a great Yogi who lived in the Himalayas, on lake Manosarovar at the foot of Mt. Kailash. Penniless he
went there to learn Yoga from Ram Mohana Brahmacari who was his
teacher for 7+ years. Then his guru asked him to leave and to
teach Yoga in the cities of India. This was the demanded payment
from his teacher.
Krishnamacharya lived for a hundred one years. He is not with
us today but his spirit permeates our teachings.
