The First Feeling : Embody the Bones
The First Feeling: Embody the Skeleton “
28 -30 June, Zurich, Switzerland 🇨🇭
🔗The skeletal experience is, above all else, about feeling a relationship. We can sense the shape of bones but feel their relationship through movement. Bony contact with the ground is a primary sensation felt through sensory nerves in the intervening tissue registering pressure.
🔗We can feel the skeleton through its surrounding soft tissue. Sensory nerves between tissue and bone and within the periosteal coating of bones convey a sense of bone.
🦴 Sensing your skeletal framework includes feeling into your joints. Joints combine to provide an articular system functioning as an integrated organic unit.
📢The skeletal framework is a sensory continuum. All joints are continuous through periosteal (around bone) tissue (fascia). Articulations are rich in sensory nerve endings, enabling us to feel the relationship, movement and rhythm between bones. With the understanding that movement creates sensation, which in turn creates awareness, it would seem that whatever moves has a potential for being felt.
🔱Inner activity is felt when we hold back the expansive movement of the limbs and spine.
The deepest, most fluid movements are involuntary and are stimulated by the breath and gravitation. Involuntary movement is ideal for sensing bones and articulations. The absence of tension that arises through ‘doing’ gives the investing tissue more sensitivity.
🧵Approach the skeletal framework by letting go of it.
This enables the muscles that support and control it to reprogramme their control towards a quieter and more expansive action, an action free from gripping.

Kapotasana and the solar plexus
Переглядів 227Рік тому
My ideas on why people asphyxiate and freak out with Kapotasana on a physical and psychic level are canvassed from the metaphysical teachings of Judge Troward (British judge and metaphysician). He indicates the method by which this interaction is effected. He suggests that the cerebrospinal system is the organ of the conscious mind, and the sympathetic is the organ of the subconscious. The cere...

❂ Doing does not mean knowing ❂ Executing an action by no means proves that we know, even superficially, what we are doing or how we are doing it. If we attempt to act with awareness- -that is, to follow it in detail- we soon discover that even the simplest and most common of actions are a mystery and that we have no idea at all of how it is done: It is easy to demonstrate that we do not know w...

We must start somewhere. 🏹Transcending established patterns does not just happen. It is unlikely that practice will make us perfect because there is no perfection in practising. Practice is the way in, but not the thing. 🧨We need to make a conscious choice and decision on the inner level of the mind to reorganise the body, the circuitry in the brain and relatedness to what is! ⚡️In whatever way...

Movement is instinctive. Yoga is an opportunity to practise animating our tissues intelligently if we honour the innate wisdom of our physical body and act congruently with and from where the body is at the time. Yoga is much less of a noun in many ways than it is a verb. “To yoga” is to “practise at’, and explore unifying in practice. It confounds the mind - and it is supposed to. 🌬️We are mov...

Our spinal movements are often described as resembling a double helix - two linked strands that wind around each other to resemble a twisted ladder in a helix-like shape. This structure works as a stabilizer. When we walk, our spines are designed to move in two counter-rotating helical patterns. This pattern is converted into tension within the helical double fascia. It may be beneficial to vis...

Mystery of Pelvlandia ⭕️[26/27 Nov, 2022] Confucius famously observed that we learn wisdom in three ways: first, by reflection (the noblest); second, by imitation (the easiest); and third, by experience (the bitterest). Those immortal words should have been spoken with the female pelvis in mind. After all, we often start learning about the pelvic muscles when experiencing pain and discomfort-cl...

Good ❤
I'm a blue collar worker. I'm 50. I'm a newbie of yoga Can i do advanced yoga drills like you?
start from yin, then do hatha, vinyasa and finally ashtanga first series with modification, then first series, then second series, and will go to 4th series, remember savasana is the most important.
Really good video!!! I've been concentrating on my bones during meditation over the last couple of days since watching your video. I feel a deep relaxation and energized at the same time. Quite amazing!!
Thank you ❤! Focusing on the bones 🦴 allows the muscles to soften around the bone, and there is a sense of stability and support which releases ideas of fear!
Thank you Santina...would the same principles apply in sirsasana with weight on the head.?🙄❤
Yes, it would be best if you pulled the long bones 🦴 of the arms into the armpits and then into the hip joint 👌 Interesting question 🔗
Oh thank you Santina...tried it...but I still don't know what the relationship is to the ground with my head. I took C7 and probably down to T6 into the body and toward the public bone and then allowed about 10% weight on my head. But then I still don't know how what to do with this weight.!!!? ❤
Nice 🙏
Nice 🙏
Just follow Eddie Stern.
Great insight. Loved it!!
❤ thank you for reading me
Awesome! what is the pose at 12:45?
Akarna Dhanurasana B, I believe.
I love when you put yogic knowledge between swords ⚔️ It is like: I practice ahimsa, but do not mess with me! 😅
This is so beautiful and incredibly helpful. Thank you for this thoughtful, mindful and elegant guide
Wild Yolly ♥️ thank you!
your face 🫣🫣
beautiful, wild sister! Thank you!
Thank you too! Wild E... you listen to me!
@@santinag always ❤️
Never seen this breathing exercise before. Does it have a name? Do you do it before or after Yoga practice? How long do you usually practice this exercise for? Thanks for the video.
I named it Nerve Force Projection! It is a combination of techniques which awaken personal magnetism. I practicd this first thing in the morning when I wake up. Also when I feel tired. And I practic this before my Ashtanga Yoga practice so the Solar Plexus feels free and alive. I practice three to six rounds maximum! After each round feel the energetic difference in YOU!
Thank you for sharing this ❤️
I love the Santi wheel ❤️ I call mine Shanti (peace and Santi)! Beautiful video!!
Wild E💨. Your here with me ❤️
Love to see you Santina. I have learned a lot during your practice 😉
Thank you Renata! The depth of the body and the practice is never ending 🤦♀️🙌🏻🩸🫁⚔️🌹
Good to find this here! 😊 A big hug Santina! Gratitude for the opportunity of helping with the communication!
So so beautiful. Thank you 🙏 ❤️ 😊
moving on from gokalum and the bogus yogis, into the city with my Mysore cronies, we take a wide step from the ones who are phoneys. chai, chillum aur chapatti. challo!
Magic!
Wow French Press coffee ..... beans from Chickamagaluru?
🙏
Inspiring, good to hear other people's wonderful and useful mysore experiences
🙏unavailable 💛
love you, may we meet soon
I need this kind of adjustments on me, please
none of these people look healthy! just an observation
@Bryan Davis may be u are blind follower of cult?
how annoying is that, being in a Mysore room with a teacher shouting out loudly like a parrot, with no sense of the beautiful silence that is inherent to this style of practice. I just can´t stand her
than y should go to do meditation instead your ego is like parrot thats practice to teach y to do it correct
Who is this teacher please?
Santina Giardina-Chard, google her.
Thank you for this very raw authentic sharing of your experienceXx
privileged white people talking crap
Ha ha ... don't watch
My local yoga studio charges is £17 a class which is extortionate. So I don’t go even though I love it. It’s far too expensive even in London.
Mysore is not mystery. It's become a business capital for self proclaimed "ashtangis" and "yogis" - mainly comprising of Westerners who visit this place KPJAYI for a piece of paper called authorization or certification and then back home they run expensive yoga class and workshops. I'm an Indian and I know that KPJAYI has done absolutely nothing to spread the knowledge of ashtanga yoga in india since the early 1970s when Americans and Europeans started frequenting Mysore and started inviting Pattabhi Jois to their countries for workshops. Mysore isn't a mystery. It's become a monopoly business for KPJAYI and it's followers. Take this truth with a pinch of salt
What is KPJYI?? Where I can learn good yoga in mysore??
Chaitanya Talegaonkar good luck getting admission in it
Forget about anything else... The world will appreciate if you started your own thing without making noise! Maybe you need some sweetness in your life 😊👍to understand what's out there..
True
i simple just do not understand why ppl call this Ashtanga yoga.Patanjali also can not understand...........
Actually Sharathji is giving scholarship to Indian students and has a time scheduled for them. The price is high due to the high demand. I believe that the Ashtanga Institue should give up the monopoly and go international, allowing certified teachers to give teacher training and certification/authorization. I'm a westernern and cannot afford it. I save year long to spend two weeks with certified teacher. Find a teacher near you that is available by price, time and distance. The practice is YOURS.
Thealune really? So you mean he's doing a favor by this scholarship program to Indians. Let me tell you something - this scholarship program is only for those who've had a minimum of 2-3 months of dedicated practice with a KPJAYI authorised or certified teacher. Now I reside in Bombay and there's only one authorized teacher by the name Suveer Balvi and he charges a bomb ok - which is 9000 Indian rupees which a middle order working class indian like me cannot afford at all. Now so as to have this scholarship which would be applicable from June thru Aug batches I have to spend thousands before by enrolling an class of this authorised teacher. Now what sense does that make? Plus, Sharath Rangaswamy has been making his millions by mainly catering to the western crowd who he charges more at KPJAYI as well as in his international workshops in their respective countries. Even the so called"discounted fee for indians" otherwise at KPJAYI is not a small amount for someone like me. So basically this so called scholarship program at KPJAYI is just a marketing stunt to show people that he's doing some philanthropic shit. If his mission were to serve the society thru teaching ashtanga yoga, he and his grandfather Pattabhi Jois would have first travelled in India to spread awareness on ashtanga yoga than travelling to only select countries where they can throw those currencies expensive than the Indian rupee. Save this lecture on ashtanga yoga for people who don't know much bout it
shivin varghese Dear friend, I didn't know that Indians are also required for the 2 months minimum. This is a demand from recent years. I cannot make it too. I don't have a certifies teacher in my country and the teachers to be found more than an hour drive. I did TTC 600 hours with my first teacher who is student of David Swenson and not certified. Ashtanga Yoga was meant for householders, but having a home, partner and steady job travelling for the whole process of certification might be a price to high to pay not just financially. I believe that local teachers should charge local price. Many places are recruiting Yoga teachers. Perhaps You can arrange practinioners in Your area, find a space suitable for Shala and invite a teacher to start an Ashtanga community. On facebook there is an excellent group called Ashtanga home practitioner network, You will find much advice and support there.
Its unfortunate our things are selling regularly to foreigners for money we few indians actually can afford this.very clever this indian so called yoga gurus.shame
Ofcourse Mysore is a mystery for the foreigners (mainly Westerners) who can afford all that time and money for the "Mysore pilgrimage". How many Indians do you see there practising Ashtanga yoga? How many authorised and certified Indians do you see as a result? How many KPJAYI workshops have you seen happening in the cities in India? You know what there is no mystery but there is irony. And the irony is that Ashtanga Yoga although is an "Indian invention" but it's hardly available to us Indians. And that's not because "indians are lazy" (a stupid perception that foreigners come up with while trying to defend why Ashtanga yoga is easily available to the people in the West). But the bigger truth is something else - that Ashtanga yoga has been reduced from a spiritual practice to something which is sold as hot cakes in the market of commercial commodities. Simple
shivin varghese Wow that's interesting to know that Indians do not practice Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga. Is it very expensive to take practice at the shala in relation to the average Indian income? I believe yoga should accessible for everyone. Some studios in the US go by honor/ donation system so no one is turned away to practice.
just keep practicing brother <3
I agree with you I have been searching for a good class since months and they are sooooo expensive. It feels bad that money is taking away my Passion. Leaving us to just you tube tutorials and risking injuries
I just use UA-cam. I don't have money for yoga classes and I'm a westerner in the west. Hahaha life is life man. It's not different any other part of the world or at any other time in history. Man will treat man the way he perceives life.
Dharma Ram Well I live in Bombay - I'm sure you've heard of this city by the new name Mumbai? Here there's only one resident yoga teacher who teaches ashtanga yoga who charges 9000INR per month. Now if you're a westerner ask this to any middle class indian how much is 9000 Indian rupees for him or her and then we can talk further
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3
I disagree on what is written above. . We can know for sure when we find truth. But of course this is not the truth of scientists, philosofers, etc Its the real and only truth mentioned by yogis and other spiritual masters.
bitch please !!!
Santina's words go into my heart. Love her so much
Thank you for your kindness and for taking the time to watch the film. Love, San xxx
I was buying it until the white woman said "the householder part of life kind of disappears for most people here. Everything can be done for you." Colonialist privilege much? BLECH.
Thank YOU !
Thank you San!!!! So much love!
Thank you so much for watching the film.. I hope I can offer more in the future.
