Description
In this course I will introduce you to Brahma Shakti Vinyasa Yoga system which is something that came from my own ashtanga practice (over 20 years) and teaching (15 years). As I started getting older, I started to modify my own self practice as most senior practitioners do and I found I was much more balanced in the practice and enjoyed my time on the mat more. In the Brahma Shakti series we do less vinyasa ( jump in, jump out) between asanas and we do modification as necessary depending on each students ability, the main focus is on the breath.
The Brahma Shakti sequence is more inline with the original teachings of Krishnamacharya to BKS Iyengar and Pattabhi Jois, where the focus was on true vinyasa 'one breath, one movement' The asana practice was more individual to the student rather than one standard set for everyone.
Brahma Shakti classes start with 10 minutes of Mantra meditation followed by Asana and ending in 10 minutes Pranayama.
The series as one extra surya namaskar added 'Hanuman Namaskar, before A and B. We have added some asanas from the 2nd series and removed others form the primary series making the practice more balanced with dedicated, standing asanas, sitting asanas, dedicated backbending and dedicated inversions.
Brahma Shakti yoga is taken from ashtanga vinyasa yoga and modified, the practice is lighter, more balanced and less competitive and safe for everyone at all levels to practice.
Please download the course material, and the photos, and proceed with the videos respecting your own personal limits, there is no prizes for finishing first, take each part at a time and practice safely with awareness "Develop you Breath"
In the course we also teach about Bandha activation in practice, pranayama, padmasana instructions and much more.
Teachers will understand the flow of vinyasa movement and be able to construct classes in line with students ability.
Welcome to a fun great practice.....

I am British and after developing Rheumatoid arthritis in my late twenties I needed a lifestyle change to cure this disease without going down the usual route of allopathic medicine.
I moved to Mysore, India in 1999 and started to learn yoga on the second day and continue a regular yoga practice to this day.
After experimenting with various styles, hatha, Iyengar etc I found my practice 'ashtanga vinyasa'.
I was authorised to teach by KPJAYI Mysore in 2012 and also obtained Yoga Alliance ERYT-200, ERYT-500, YACEP and RYS300 registered yoga school.
When not in India I spend a lot of my time in Asia teaching workshops, teacher trainings and yoga conferences.
I started shooting this course mid COVID on my 58th birthday on 8/7/2020 then self learned the intricacies of video production. Many hours have been spent developing these courses, I hope you find the instructions helpful and easy to follow.
