trying Integral Yoga

Av fredrik binette - 17 april 2010 09:49

so yesterday [friday] Kim held her guest teacher class in Integral Yoga at the studio, it became a 2 hour class he he.
for me actually it was not the very first time, I tried once for 1,5 years ago I think, also that time with Kim in her old studio she had in Singapore.
It is quit similar to Sivananda style but at the same time different..
the sequens is almost turned in opposit way, end with the asanas I ususally start with etc. and also a standing consious realaxation after surya namaskar wich felt really interesting! the "extra" pranayama comes after final relaxation in Integral Yoga as for me when I teach it comes after opening relaxation : )

the founder of Integral Yoga is the late Swami Satchidananda,
he was a late disciple of Swami Sivananda [se below old picture of them both together]

  


the class felt nice, and for me it was good for my circulation.
the day before I went to adjust my ribs at the chiropractor [re-visit] and earlier today I got a nce back massage from Annika, so during Integral Yoga class I felt some things start to loosen up and actually a few "sounds" when joint looks loosend up : )

the class was quit full even if it ws a friday evening 18.00-20.00, so that was nice.
I am really happy that so many of my students have had a chance to at least attend one class with Kim since she has also tought some of my regular classes on the regular schedule, there is allways something we all do dofferently, and we have a slight other approach etc, even the tempo can be different etc.
I realize more that I am into the calmer versions even in this yoga tradition, I have more relaxation and a slight slower pace.
...on top of this of course super lovely for me to attend some of the classes I usually teach and get a chance to be inspired.

I know when I was a guest teacher in Laos [Vientienne yogastudio] I got inspired my self by teaching in new country with new students etc, so I think & hope also for Kim she gets something extra out of this.

so last class she teaches [if all airplanes start to fly again ha ha] will be at saturday at 10.00
she will also teach my intermediate [level 2] class tuesday evening.

AUM shanti, shanti, shantíi
