Truth is - dont know where to start this Blog anew...
So what is the first thing in my Retreats or teachings? Its to fix the breath. To teach the basic way of breathing, according the Sri T. Krishnamacharya tradition. How to transmit this to experienced yogis- it might be annoying, when you practiced so many years - and have to realize a simple thing - Inhalation happens in the chest- exhalation happens from the lower belly. Its the first thing to fix and observe in everydays practice.

Just for fun and own re-read - I publish this Blog - kind of unchanged - which I wrote during the years 2006-2014 in Mysore -when I was practicing with Sharath Jois, all-in-all for 1 and half years. In these times Authorization wasnt a quick journey - the requirement was to stay 4 times 3 month.
Thes first Blog Parts tell about the joy of beeing and practicing in Mysore, and to get in touch with the Indian Culture.
Have fun while reading my blog!

"Ashtanga meets Raga" is our beautiful project, which evolved out of our personal morning practice.
It was also the longing over years -to have music for yoga which has no rhythm, so that the breath would not be disturbed!
Lateron, through the inspiration of Anthony Grimmly - we were so happy to find pictures of this wonderful practice - already from the 14th century!

Pranayama as taught by Sri Sribhashyam, the youngest son of Krishnamacharya, is a very subtle approach to the most important limb of a complete yogapractice, which should include beside Asana, also Mudra, Pranayama and Meditation.

Just for fun and own re-read - I will publish this Blog - which I wrote during the years 2006-2014 in Mysore -when I was practicing with Sharath Jois all-in-all for 1 and half years. In these times Authorization wasnt a quick journey - the requirement was to stay 4 times 3 month- so about 1 year of practice in the mysore-shala before maybe receiving the autorization 1, right? Anyway- times changed definitely in Mysore since then!
Have fun while reading my blog!

I would like to share my diary about my Ashtanga Journey to Mysore over many yeras, from 2007 - 2014, when I received the "Authorization level II" - after, as it has been usual in these times - altogether 1 and half year of practicing with Sharath in Mysore!
After many trips to GOA, India, to my first and long years teacher Rolf Naujocat - I started my Ashtanga Journey in Mysore in 2007. Only or already 15 years back - it seems to be a completely different time quality - enjoy reading!

A short excursion on the fast Pranayamas - an intense cleansing - which prepares us for the Ujjayi Pranayama or Nadi Sodhana....

About the Mudra Practice in Sri Sribhashyams Practice sheeds – and why it is called "Live Saving Sessions" (by his father Sri T. Krishnamacharya)?
Interesting notes I took in Sri Sribhashyams Seminars, commenting this subject ...
Central point - the different concepts of "existence" in east and west.

The moment of the sunrise - is said to be a KUMBHAKA - a small gap where you are able to receive the subtle energy of the universal breath. Most of the spiritual ways honor this precious moment of stillness - the sunrise and sunset. Alike we may experience deep union with the divine - when we practice Kumbhaka in our yoga or Pranayama practice. How to experience this outspicious energy, the moment of Kumbhaka in yourself!
