As posturas de equilíbrio nos braços são frequentemente o centro das atenções nas aulas de Yôga. Não é difícil ver porquê – elas mostram a força dos braços e, mais importante, a graça de equilibrar-se nos braços e mãos em vez dos pés e pernas, como é costume. O conceito de posturas de equilíbrio nos braços é tipicamente associado ao handstand, que envolve segurar o corpo de cabeça para baixo em posição vertical.
Neste workshop, exploraremos os vários aspectos das posturas de equilíbrio nos braços e como melhorar rapidamente sua capacidade de se segurar em suas próprias mãos. Abordaremos temas como a proteção das articulações das mãos, o fortalecimento dos braços, a elevação das pernas e o uso de diferentes apoios. Além disso, praticaremos uma variedade de asanas com variações da categoria de equilíbrio nos braços, como Kakasana (Crow), Ekapada Galavasana (Flying Pigeon), Tittibhasana (Firefly Pose), Astavakrasana (Eight Angle Pose) e muitas outras.
É importante notar que, como asanas são uma parte integral da prática de Yôga, e o Yôga tem uma abordagem holística da vida, trabalhar nas posturas de equilíbrio nos braços também requer que todo o corpo e mente trabalhem juntos. Depois de começar, não levará muito tempo para ver como as posturas de equilíbrio nos braços visam outras partes do corpo, como o abdomen, as costas, as região lombar, as pernas e os ombros, o que talvez precise para muito de nós, ainda serem trabalhados e desenvolvidos.
Este workshop foi projetado para revelar todo o seu potencial e ajudá-lo a ir além de construir força física e desafiar seus limites mentais e emocionais. Você vai conquistar desafios com seus próprios braços e mãos. Trata-se de cultivar a mentalidade de um alto desempenho – alguém que não tem medo de enfrentar novos desafios, ultrapassar seus limites e estar à altura das circunstâncias. Ao participar, você ganhará uma compreensão mais profunda de suas próprias capacidades e desenvolverá a confiança e a resiliência mental para enfrentar muitos obstáculos que surgirem no seu caminho.
Tanto iniciantes quanto amantes de Yôga não iniciantes são bem-vindos neste Workshop, acessórios estarão disponíveis para aqueles que preferem usá-los. Embora alguns possam preferir praticar sem acessórios, é altamente recomendável utilizá-los para desenvolver maior força e flexibilidade, bem como prevenir lesões. Os acessórios estão disponíveis para ajudar no seu desenvolvimento.
O desafio desta aula é realizar as posturas com segurança e sabedoria. Não se deixar levar pelo entusiasmo das posturas de equilíbrio nos braços e evitar lesões. Acima de tudo, concentrar-se em desenvolver as habilidades necessárias para dominar pelo menos cinco posturas de equilíbrio nos braços.
Quem sabe você se surpreende e descobre que tem um talento inato para o equilíbrio nos braços e nas mãos?
Junte-se a nós e leve sua prática de yoga para o próximo nível, tanto dentro quanto fora do Mate!
This is the Warrior Salutation Yoga lovers! and I want to talk about a topic that is close to my heart and one that I believe should be on every yoga practitioner’s mind nowadays: environmental responsibility.
As you breathe in, cherish yourself. As you breathe out, cherish all Beings.
Dalai Lama
We all have heard about the importance of the air we breathe, we are most already conformed with the levels of pollution we are inhaling and producing, but there is more related to the air we breathe we should be aware of which is not only about the quality of the air, but the quality of our breath.
Breathing is what connects us with our main energy source, Air or Oxygen! This is what holds us alive and nurtures our bodies, minds, and all kinds of activities we perform as long we have life force.
Let’s do a small observation and reflection: just take a moment to consider how long a person can be thirsty or hungry? Now ask what about being without oxygen? How long can you stay without breathing, how long you can survive without air? This is precisely what makes breath a very powerful tool. If on the one hand, this is the most ordinary of all body functions, in another hand, by doing it with awareness you are increasing the quality of your life. By adding a set of Pranayama Technics ti it, you will experience not only of high life quality but also lots of powers.
The Time to Breathwork is practice divided into two parts, the Pranayama part (breathing control), and the meditation. Both set up the mind to focus on one single object, the breath!
For that, you will get guided practices of:
Adham Pranayama, Yogic breath, or complete breathing
Kaphalabhati Pranayama
Anuloma Viloma
Agni Sara Kriya
Bhastrika Pranama
Breathwork and Pranayama can be done by sitting or lying down. In case you have any injury in the lower back, knee, or spine, please let me know before the class start, so we can set up what is necessary for your being able to follow the class. Of course, all propose would be arranged, if available at the Yoga Studio. Preparation for executing the postures, and guidance to build it in a safe way, and as well alternatives for your personal case if necessary.
For a 2h to 2h30 Workshop format, Brahmari, Shikale / Shitkali, and others are added, as well as breath count control, the 4 stages of the breath, and attention to retention (Kumbhaka).
All the technics are transmitted to the attendants in a very simple and clear form. This is for everyone who wanna understand the breadth, take control over the breath, experience breath as an element of calmness and stillness. And use it on the daily basis to make life better. If you are new to Yoga or experienced will not play any role in this, all are welcome and this practice is indicated to everyone.
Most of my practices and classes are a combination of Sukshma Vyayama and Hatha-Yoga. We start practicing breathing work in standing. In the second block, we do some mix, Hatha Multslyle, no style, just prepare the body to sit quietly for a while and continue with the specific Pranayamas.
After the block of movements for preparation, we continue with the breathing program in sitting posture, this will increases our ability to sit and meditate, doing it frequently will increase the length of the practice session. You will get to sit calm like a Yogi if you have this motivation.
This Workshop has a more intermadiate without movement, for participants who wanna push themselves to the limit of siting at least for 60min for different Pranayama Technics in one single session, before going into any movement, meditation, or relaxation. This is a Special Class, and is more appropriate to those who alreary practice regularly, are Yoga-Teachers, or wanna join a Teacher Training Course, or in a similar level.
If you are interested in that one, get in touch, let me know, and let’s do it!
Now we dive into the time and we prepare to closure with a deep relaxation in Yoga Nidra. Again we set our focus on the body and breath. And to close the workshop, we use the Breath as an “Object for Meditation”.
With this in mind and a daily commitment, you will achieve the highest performance in many activities of daily life, in case you are familiarized with visualizations, you case use them in each pranayama practice. Self-healing, Sharping the focus, and faculties are just a few of the benefits to experience.
More energy for life and joy with small things will become features of your personality.
Se você está procurando por uma aula de yoga que possa ajudá-lo a ganhar força, vitalidade e energia, não procure mais do que o Hatha-Yoga. Inicialmente uma aula especial de 90 minutos, desde 2012 na Alemanha ela foi estendida para uma sessão de 2 horas ou 2,5 horas para atender a diferentes necessidades. Este esquema de aula é um manual para aqueles que desejam se exercitar para adquirir essas características. É “a base de todas as minhas experiências, feita para que todos vocês possam experimentar”.
O conceito é uma mistura de Sukshma Vyayama e Hatha-Yoga Clássico, que se concentra na regulação da respiração em cada postura e transição de postura. Isso aumenta a energia produzida durante o desempenho das asanas, levando você ao nível de usar a energia para concentração, meditação e visualização.
Pranayama é obrigatório em todas as minhas aulas, pelo menos nas mais básicas, e qualquer aula sempre começará com Adham Pranayama ou respiração yogi, que é fácil de fazer até para iniciantes. Pode ser feito em posição sentada ou em pé, e vem com uma garantia de benefícios de 100% para iniciantes e praticantes avançados.
Se você se pergunta como aplicar essas técnicas yogi na vida diária, basta observar que a respiração está dentro de nós o tempo todo. O Pranayama é o mais fácil e rápido de aplicar na vida diária. Portanto, tanto quanto possível, lembre-se de que está respirando, faça-o conscientemente, consciente e desperto, faça-o conscientemente e aprimore suas qualidades. Só precisamos fazê-lo!
No Workshop de Pranayama mais elaborado, apresentamos aos participantes mais técnicas de pranayama como Anuloma-viloma, Agnisarakriya, Kaphalabhati e muitas outras. Mas, por enquanto, continuamos com apenas uma.
Usamos essa técnica de respiração durante toda a aula e experimentamos a presença no espaço, tempo e atividade, totalmente conscientes. Expandimos nossa versão de algumas rodadas de Surya Namaskar, incluindo modificações e diferentes variações de Asana. Pranayama é introduzido no início da sessão, e posturas em pé são mais recomendadas para apertar Mulabandha e, quando possível, também Uddhyanabandha.
Para obter melhores benefícios das posturas, manteremos por longos períodos de tempo enquanto regulamos a respiração. Praticaremos desde o básico até uma ampla variedade de posturas e transições. Inversões fazem parte deste compêndio, assim como relaxamento prolongado entre elas, abdominais como último trabalho duro e Yoga Nidra.
É um ponto chave usar a combinação de trabalho, contração, relaxamento ou expansão neste esquema de aula como método de auto-desenvolvimento. Aqui estamos trabalhando para equilibrar as coisas. Lados, hemisférios, extremos, órgãos, glândulas, elementos e energias vão entrar em equilíbrio, que é o nosso trabalho, motivação e dedicação de tempo. Quanto mais esse tipo de prática ou esquema for utilizado, mais equilíbrio pode ser produzido, experimentado e desfrutado.
Após um desafio pequeno de abdominais, entramos em uma relaxamento mais profundo em Yoga Nidra, onde novamente, a respiração marcará presença importante como ferramenta a ser usada para estar presente como a respiração é, e treinar nossa habilidade de visualização. Viajamos da parte inferior até as partes mais baixas do corpo, começando pelos dedos dos pés, indo para as pernas, abdômen e órgãos, cabeça e rosto, relaxando cada detalhe e deixando ir com a expiração, que é não merecida e desnecessária.
Finalizamos com uma breve sessão de meditação respiratória, seguida de um tempo e espaço para gratidão. Deixe ir e diga adeus!
108 rounds of sun salutation practice with Surya Namaskar mantra – 3h30 Workshop
In that workshop we repeat 9 times the 12 rounds of Surya Namaskar, perfect practice for the early morning. Joy is what we expect to feel after this performance, no matter what activity we will do after this, we will feel great, fresh, and powerful.
The practice of Surya Namaskar
Surya namaskar, also known as Sun Salutation, is an old yogic practice of twelve yogic postures, which are commonly performed early in the morning, at sunrise, with a specific breathing pattern and chanting of continuous mantras.
Surya translates as ”sun” and ”Namaskar” means ”salutations”, thus ”Surya Namaskar” is translated as ”the eternal salutations to the Sun”.
The Sun (Surya) symbolizes purity, energy, light, clarity and consciousness.
In Vedic astrology, Surya is the main reason behind the formation of our body and controls our general health.
It is said that a daily practice of these yogic exercises is enough to reap enormous benefits, like weight loss, flexibility of muscles, regulated menstrual cycle, improved concentration, self-confidence and overall personality development. In addition, this practice is an efficient way to limber up, to tone and stretch as well as strengthen the entire physical body. It is also the fastest way of touching base with our core inner strength.
When you practice these asanas very slowly while bringing the awareness to each energy center (chakra), each asana becomes a spiritual practice that will fill the chakras with positive emotion.
One full round of 12 postures repeated continuously for 9 times (12×9=108 postures) will make you sweat heavily and burn down all excess fat in the physical body. The results are never immediate; it always comes with practice over a long period of time.
Please bring your own towel and bottle of water.
Suitable for beginner or more advanced yoga practitioners.
Participants will be taught the mantra to be able to recite together.
108 Surya Namaskar with Gayatri Mantra. Voice of Anuradha Paudwal, it may be not available in several countries.

Om, Earth, middle region and sky; we meditate on the adorable splendor of Savitar (Sun) who may inspire our thoughts.

We meditate on the Self-effulgent Being of seven planes, (like Bhuu, Bhuvas, Svar, etc.) who provides light to the sun; may He enlighten our intellect to reach the divine goal.
Translation 3
We meditate on the Supreme Sun whose light pervades this world (Bhuh), the heavens (Bhuvah) and the next world (suvah). May thy light guide our intellect in the right direction.
The Gayatri mantra is one of the oldest of the divine hymns.
Gayatri mantra is the essence of all seventy million supreme mantras.
Just as all the rivers merge in the oceans, all mantras unite in the Gayatri mantra.
The arrangement of the twenty-four seed syllables in the Gayatri mantra is the most wondrous and mysterious.
The chanting of this mantra develops nada, a regular subtle vibration in the nerves of the subtle body. The repetition of this mantra with right understanding of its sacred meaning has the power to dispel all the negative tendencies in the human mind and thereby unfold the Supreme Self within.
The Gayatri mantra is chanted early in the morning after bath.

This Surya Beej mantra has the power to provide you perfect health and Abundance. Also, this mantra improves your eyesight and removes any disorder related to eyes.

Surya Deva – 7 Horses 7 Chakras
He is illustrated with 2 hands holding a lotus in both (occasionally He is depicted with 4 hands holding a chakra, lotus, a conch and a mace). His body is as shiny and radiant as pure gold and riding a chariot driven by 7 white horses. The chariot harnessed by 7 white horses represent the seven main chakras, the 7 days of the week or the 7 colors of the rainbow. Surya is the life giver, sustaining all life on this planet by providing all radiance and energy, and the one who is responsible for the cycle of night and day and the beautiful seasons.
This collection of mantras transliterations, translations, and explanations are from different online sources as well the loaded pictures. The knowledge and use of these mantras I got on my first TTC at Parmarth Niketan Ashram and others occasion of 108 Surya Namaskar practice.
In that workshop, we work with the passive Yin energy by holding postures for relaxation for 4 to 5 minutes, between posture, we perform some technics to improve the effectiveness of the asana, which is the Yang characteristic of this practice. By doing so, we are setup the body, to be more receptive in the passive state.
This is a classical 2h Workshop, starting with breath work (Pranayama), going into the flow of Asanas, letting go the body in a passive state. Relaxation (Yoga Nidra) before end the class, and a final closure with the practice of the Om mantra recitation, a short appreciation to the practice, and thankfulness.
Yin-Yang, is a practice for increases your blood flow, and lowering the risk of heart attack, better respiration, improvement of bones health, regulation of adrenal glands, and boost the immunity system.
We do a few rounds of Surya namaskar too, we meditate most of the time lying down on the mat, we use stillness for concentration purposes. Actions like bandhas and particular pranayamas done during these classes are also Yang practices form. According to the level of each participant, particular pranayama can be recommendable, classes schema can be adopted to a particular need, if so I see.
The body needs relaxations as actions is needed, muscles can only relax and contract, the entire body must to be used, diversity in movements, asanas, relaxation postures, and meditation is key to a balanced flow of energy. As much a body is balanced, more the elements are balanced, more that person is near his or her nature. More you use your body to relax and to be active, the more the body performs its natural function.
There is time for all in this classe, to just be and feel joy, as well to do some movement and feel yourself whats ever comes. Feelings are impermanent and whats ever is so, will change from moment to moment according our habitual tendencies. That changes, are our object of attention during this practice as well, to observe how things changes in ourselves, like our body, has been changing through all the years, from the beginning till the end of the practice.
In Yoga, the asana practice has as goal, setup the body in pliable condition, to support the mind be focused in a single object, to seek samadhi, the single point concrentration meditation. For that reason, one needs to perform a long period of time in a particular postures, because of that many benefits become fruits of those practices. We should consider more the practice if we want more results, we do wanna be flexible, youth, strong, for that we need to practice accordingly.
In Yin Yoga we choose the more relaxed and use to put the body static and stable, to perform the 5min of practice in each side or posture, we can use the same amount of time or shorter like 2 or 3min, to a particular postures which require some action, or some breath exercise which will be also done with body movement, after this relax again in on postures, totally passive and allow the body and mind get the benefits of the switch.
Yin Yoga allow us to solve tensions and increasing body ability, we give time to fascia the works to a gradually and deeper work in the deep tissues. This optimize the energy flow in our bodies and allow as well to access these energies, with visualization and imagination. Perfection and mastering the posture is the method we use to balance and self-development during this workshop.
Here we are going to plug into Telluric and Cosmic energy to recharging our being with all the best intentions and authentic motivations, to keep life in balance and continuously develop ourselves.
knowledge about the Chakras System or previous practices using the Chakras is not required, but useful for knows how to use it.
The meditation in this workshop
in that workshop very often I use breathing meditation, the reason for using the breath as the object of meditation, is because the breath is always there, present within all of us, all the time, everywhere. Focus on the breath has enormous benefits, like increase the breath capacity, calming the mind and establish a connection with the subtle energetical body.
The meditation in the 5 senses are done when this workshop can take longer than 2h, at least 30min is required for this purpose. Let me speak in advance with the participants and see if this is wished.
