Why Power Yoga ?

Published by

Power or Sport Yoga is a system of yoga based around the ancient technique known as Ashtanga Vinyasa. This system uses extreme breath control and constant movement to generate heat. It is with this heat that the body reaches flexibility maximization. The maxim being ‘ you warm up to stretch.’ This yoga has been used with dramatic results on athletes and sports persons. It uses the body’s own weight like conventional weights to build strength coupled with extreme muscle control. This is a dynamic form which will give balance, strength and incredible flexibility. This is for men and women with a good level of fitness and is suitable for a beginner or an accomplished athlete. I work with footballers, skiers, rugby players, snow boarders, runners, rowers and cyclists.

LIBERATION

* The cure of suffering is to rid oneself of selfish desire. * This is the way to liberation: to act but without greed for success, free from the wish to harm any body and reason. * Whatever deed hbeen performed without greed, without hatred and free from delusion…after greed, hatred (and) delusion were done away with – this deed is annihilated, cut off at the root. Made similar to a rooted-out palm tree, prevented from becoming, in future not subject to the law of becoming. * The path which leads to calm and insight: 1. right understanding, 2. right thought, 3. right speech, 4. right action, 5. right livelihood, 6. right effort, 7. right mindfulness, 8. right concentration. * There is no concentration to one who lacks wisdom, nor is there wisdom to him who lacks concentration. In whom are both concentration and wisdom, he, is in the presence of liberation.
