Trikonasana with Dr. Geeta Iyengar (26 minutes)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 жов 2012
- With this video, recorded in India in 2009, we wanted to give a taste of the uniqueness of Dr. Geeta S Iyengar's teachings. Not so so many have the opportunity to go to India and experience the Living Tradition of Iyengar Yoga as teach by the Masters themselves.
Notice how Dr. Iyengar bring to her teaching of Trikonasana the concept of Ekagrata (one pointedness of the mind). To quote her bother, Yoga Master Prashant Iyengar:
"the mind needs to be taught the pose since the mind has to assume the pose too."
What I love about Iyengar Yoga is how the entire Iyengar system is transmitted to all teachers and they teach the same instructions as the Iyengars. My teacher gives the same instructions, all of them, for every trikonasana.
I experienced her once, she is incredible personality. Her teaching is so clear and deep.
Namaste Geeta
There is a deep and true love of yoga in the seemingly severe insistance of this teacher, and its because she cares about bringing awareness.
So good to see the elderly lady doing it also. Truly inclusive.
13:44 a concrete example of bring the student to a state of Dhāraṇā with asana practice. Simple and beautiful
I swear by Iyengar yoga and it's every tenet. The journey is slow and eternal but the benefits happen in the presence
Incredible learning even for a newbie! It must have been magical to attend in-person classes with Guruji and her!!
The next best thing to being in Pune,India Geetaji gives everything when she teaches, its wonderful to be able to feel it from home, thanks so much for sharing.
"you have to find the solution" during your practice : perhaps the strongest message of this lady.
This is beautiful. That teaching style is solely based on love and a great passion of wanting the students to get it. I only remember my hardest teachers, the "nice" ones I learned from as well, but it's a totally different energy.
Don't mistake it for being mean: these type of teachers are always sweethearts.
Yes you're right .They try hard to get you understand those kind of teachers.I have more respect for them then the others
RIP Ms Geeta. What a wonderful explanation & granular details! Awesome!
What a blessing to see Geetaji teaching every time I see her teach, I learn some thing,she gives so very much of herself to get us to understand, I am so to have her in my life , thanks for sharing this.
What an intense class, loved it. The instructions are to the point, clear. When you are learning this is what you need. Thank you.
I love how she is very connected with each of the yogis, she is very clear and I love her strickness thats how I know that she is there to introduce the gift of our health.
Great detail , very clever in her investigations on how to work artistic in the posture!
Wonderful to see her keeping her late father, traditional going strong!
I bow to her. She personally taught me in 1985. Guruji himself asked me to come to his class and Prashant+Geetaji+Guruji directly taught to me on the side of his group class. This was enough for me to as far as Training is concerned.
The arrows really help! Reinforce the instructions Thank you
thank you Geeta - so many gems in there
Thank you, it is an honor for us to be able to share with the communauty
Geeta Iyengar’s instructions are really very effective to learn any one the perfect pose . Thanks mam
I love Iyengar class for last 25 yrs . Every class I enjoy like nothing 👍
toute ma gratitude à Gita et à ses frères et soeurs : les remarques sont des indications pour améliorer la pratique de chacun dans sa culture et son contexte personnel
What a beautiful gift many thanks
Thank you, Namaste'
thanks for watching!
Why you not make in Hindi
wow!! so clear instructions .no sugar coating. the goal is not to not have pain but to do it right. very different from what is taught in west
She is teaching rajasically to counteract the tamasic nature of some her students to create a sattvic state. THAT is what yoga is about.
Huh?
Excellent observation
I'm amazed at your analysis 😂
As if 2tsp of Tamas + 2tsp of Rajas = 1tsp of Sattva
wow what a great video, thanks to share....
Tfs, This wonderfull information!

Thanks to share
gratitude
Thank you
First off, thank you for posting these very clear videos. It give us, whom have not been to Pune a glimpse of what classes at the Institute is like. This is not a complaint but an observation. As long as I have been practicing Iyengar yoga (going on 20 years), we still beat Utthita Trikonasana to death, even in advance classes. I am sure these folks who travel all to way to India from all over the world have been practicing Iyengar Yoga for years. 26 minutes worth of Utthita Trikonasana is an overkill.
Kevin Nguyen I would agree in many other asanas but this particular asana defines guruji in his physical practice so I can give an understanding nod to trikonasna for this length of time. Also they did not stay in the asana the entire time, it was workshopped in a way only the Iyengars could. Sending light and love! Hopefully one day we can see one another in Pune!
Thank you mam 🙏
🙏🏽🕉️👍🏽👍🏽😃
Sadar Pranam
Wow see just like her father!
Thanks
Thank you so much for sharing this!
Nice explanation
Namaste
The question is, am I letting all her comments disturb me? Do I have the ability the listen to the content of her comments or am I getting disturbed by the tone of her comments? Is she deliberately hurting with her tone? Or do I have the maturity to look beyond that?
The bottom line is, there is nothing outside of me which can make me calm, or disturb my peace.
wow ❤
it's nice...
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏼💐
thanks 😊
Thank you for your kind words
I remembered doing that pose way back when i lived in America teachers would help me to get the correct posture without any help is very hard to understand where you are doing wrong.
She's incredible
RIP Geeta Ji
One needs to stop thinking the body way to master this🙏🙏🙏
Please send Bangalore address I impressed join with your yoga class
Gosh they're packed in like sardines in this class! If one toppled they should all go over like dominoes..but the practice itself is very helpful and informative. Many thanks.
What's amazing is that no one topples into anyone else and when moving from one place to another or from "one piece of equipment" to another, everyone, down to the last person is perfectly disciplined.
Learning
Can I ask what is she a Dr of? Is she a PhD or medical doctor? Thanks
Hi I want to learn Iyengar yoga how and where
I m from surat
What is the fees and duration of this course?
Looks like she is a bit angry. Not upset. Humans are fascinating. I don,t understand how all those instructions will make your mind calm, peaceful, one pointed and lead to self realisation. But thats just me. Lots of other people like it and we are all different.
I wonder if she ever meditates? Isn't that what yoga is all about:-)
Tony Michael by finding complete and total stillness in the way we shape the asana, mediation is found, the Iyengar lineage is focused on asana, yes, but more on meditation and pranayama, it is an eight limbed path
first of all it is YOG not yoga and yog is not only meditation...
you should learn sanskrit and find out yourself
@@LifewithFateh😊In 'Samskrutam' it is actually read yoga or (yogah/yogaha), words are shortened only if there is a 'halant' specified under the letter). Please check for yourself! It is Hindi that shortens Samskrutam words..
is it very important asana?
Jaganath Rayan yes, especially in the Iyengar lineage of asana practice it is one of the foundational poses
Jennifer Thibodeau I follow SW vishnudevanda style
🌿🌸🕊 ... just asking, her words describing the asana are great, did she ever "Demonstrate" the postures before teaching ??? 🙏
Just assume she didn't and move on. There are many yoga teachers that you can follow who give demonstrations as you prefer.
i am d student of rajendra reddy
Unfortunately I hardly can understand her. Her accent is too difficult for me :(
in trikonasan weigth lifted on hands
Is she upset?
Ciao Carmine
Militiristic yoga. Flashbacks of marching band. Interesting to watch, but exhausting to practice or teach.
je partage son point vue mais il est important de garder le meme poids sur chaque jambe, le but est de faire attention à notre attention, je pense qu'on peut plier les genoux, la rotation externes du col de femur n'est pas gênee mais il faut laisser le dos s'allonger et non pas tirer si votre dos est cyphotique ou scoliotique, il faut étendre les deux bras à mon avis et ma sensibilité
Everyone in that room has at least 8 years experience and they know how to do triconasana. She, being the observant teacher that she was, has noticed a fine point that they can improve and is teaching this detail in the posture. You may have noticed that she expects a certain level of understanding.
Interessante ma se fosse tradotto purtroppo ho capito qualcosa ma non tutto
Ko ko bhi BB

Sadly i find it hard to understand her words.....i know its a good teaching but had to give up in the end
Yoga is not about having a beautiful, thin body. You can do lots of Yoga, and be very very good at it, and yet end up with a big bum and lots of fat rolls round your waste. This does not mean that your Yoga is vain and superficial, nor that you are not doing enough of it. It is just that Yoga is weird in that respect. Puzzling. I am guessing that too much ghee does not help either...
