#utthitahastapadangusthasana
Strengthens and tones the thighs, calves, and ankles. It stretches the hamstrings, and opens up the space between the shoulder blades. This pose also opens and strengthens the hips and pelvic muscles. It also tones the abdominal muscles.

By testing your ability to balance, this pose requires a calm and focused mind. Learning to balance your bodyweight on one leg, while simultaneously stretching, will help you learn how to remain poised in challenging situations even off the mat.

#ustranasana #camelpose increases flexibility in the spine, stimulates the nervous system, opens the chest and shoulders, improves circulation and digestion, and stimulates the thyroid. It’s said to rejuvenate/increase energy levels, and lower blood pressure.

Half way to #suptavirasana or reclining hero pose

I always stay here for a breath or 2 just to lift my pelvis and get everything ready before I lay back.

Never in a hurry when the knees are concerned

#suptapadangusthasana

Great for any lower back pain as the back muscles and hamstrings are safely stretched while the back is supported by the floor, preventing it from rounding or pushing backwards.

The correct actions in the pose help create traction in the lower back and open the hips while the nature of the stretch can balance tension and distortion on the two sides of the back.

The inner path of yoga is sometimes difficult, long and painful, it is also immensely rewarding, filled with timeless joy and one of the only sources of real, lasting peace. Each practitioner of yoga goes through periods of injury, pain and discomfort but not every practitioner has the dedication, heart and courage to find the light at the end of the tunnel. Those who maintain a relationship with their practice over a number of years begin to understand just how much it takes to make yoga a lifelong practice. There are moments of doubt, intense suffering and emotional turmoil as well as moments of bliss, ecstasy and realization. What commitment to yoga over a lifetime really demands is total devotion.

One of the last practices I did at the shala before #typhoonodette slammed Siargao so bad. Swipe left to see the aftermath.

When we receive a tragedy or a shock in our lives, our body tends to go into fight meaning looking for someone to blame or flight meaning we try to calm ourselves with clichés like “everything happens for a reason” response. In these trying times like in yoga, when we feel our body resisting, is to breathe through it. We must become more present than usual.

By breathing into our discomfort, we empower ourselves to feel uncomfortable without panicking. Each new breath draws us more deeply into awareness and allows us to move on to the next breath, the next step. We feel sadness, horror, grief, compassion, acceptance, anger, relief, sorrow, and, just for a moment, awareness of it all. One breath at a time.

We are all living in uncertain times where the only thing certain is change. Most situations affect our routine functioning and demand us to adapt ourselves to that change. How willing are we to embrace big or small changes and adapt? Whenever there is a change around us, there needs to be a change within us, an inner preparation. The change has to start in our mind. If we resist the internal shift, we resist the external change too. It leaves us stressed and unhappy. Instead of sticking to internal comfort zones created due to past experiences or belief systems, let’s cultivate a habit of being able to change our habits. Flexibility increases our ability to adjust and adapt to different people and environments. Using our powers to accept, adjust, accommodate, tolerate, or mould are one decision away. Remind ourselves, I adapt to people and situations and flow with life. I know when to adjust and when to confront, and I use both powers the right way.

A lifetime commitment to yoga teaches us the power of the deepest level of devotion. Whether we practice six days a week or only two times a week as long as yoga remains in our lives over time we will delve deeper into the inner world and know what it means to fully surrender ourselves to the path of yoga. When we are able to maintain our attention on our deepest dreams with the type of unwavering focus and heartfelt dedication that yoga teaches us, then we will also know the exhilarating feeling of actualizing our dreams in the world.

Trini, Inhale, head-up…

In the Ashtanga Yoga method every posture has a specific number of vinyasas which is a breath-aligned movements that bring us from Samasthiti to a particular posture or asana and back to standing. We hear the count or the Vinyasa count in an Ashtanga Led Class, where the count is used to lead the practitioners through the movements without any extra explanation needed. Once a week usually Saturdays, people who practice Ashtanga Yoga regularly in a Mysore class setting will find it beneficial and fun to flow with the group just counting the vinyasas.

Ashtanga often gets an undeserved reputation because people don’t want to be honest about the gap between the posture that is being presented and what their body can actually do on that given day. Unfortunately, two things usually happen, people either force themselves to look like the pose or they quit. Ashtanga is not asking us to do either one.
The grounds of the Ashtanga Yoga System is that you learn each posture one by one especially in a Mysore style class. When we get to a posture that is not working with our body, our teacher assesses the reason for this. They will then make the decision to either stop you there or give you an approximation of the posture and let you move on. This is how we stay safe when we practice the Ashtanga Yoga Method and that is the importance of having a teacher as well.
The problem is that instead of seeing this as an amazing way to stay safe and slowly build a practice, the ego sometimes sees it as a failure.

In the space between inhalation and exhalation, in the pause between heartbeats, there is a silence that invites me to dig deeper, a light that starts to shine through the spaces. When I am running at full force, my body begs me to stop and it is my practice that teaches me how to listen. I feel it now, a returning to my center.

For me, the most important recognition for a Mysore teacher is that we serve the students. As a teacher, we must be humble enough to realize that teaching happens in relationship. Practice is co-created by the teacher, the student, and the Divine energy. The asana practice is the tool that we use to help the students explore the depths of their body and mind. It is important not have an agenda or be assertive in our approach. Rather we hold space and energy for the students’ own exploration. Often, teachers act as a mirror to help students see their own physical and mental blind spots, offering insights based on the teachings we have received from our own teachers in the method of Parampara. And we support them in meeting attainable challenges so they gradually cultivate a deeper understanding of the potential that Yoga has for uncovering the light of the boundless human spirit.

It is normal to sometimes go through times when the practice just feels hard and the motivation for practice is low.  For almost a decade of practice, there have been times when I’ve lost my spark for practice. I remember what my teacher, Sharath-ji told me years ago and definitely is the anchor of my daily asana practice, he said that I must have one of two things in my practice at all times, first is the value and second is the joy. You might not always have both but you must have at least one.
I stayed on my mat for the simple reason that I value my yoga practice.
I have faith in the yoga system and its lessons to help connect me to all of the aspects of life. I believe it is good for me physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, without a doubt.
You are not alone in your struggles, no matter what they are. If you believe in the yoga practice and value it, have faith and never give up!  Be creative, be kind to yourself, and be patient.

It is very obvious to say that the Ashtanga Yoga Method is a very physical practice. That it helps us develop deep focus, a strong will, stamina and a vibrant and healthy body. But it’s worth remembering that these attributes really help to change the awareness we have of ourselves, both in positive and negative ways. Positive because it helps wake us up to new feelings, sensations and processes in the body. Negative because if we are not careful it can reinforce old subtle habits. But to develop a daily, or very regular, personal Ashtanga Yoga practice shows a high commitment and regard to changing something about ourselves. And either way, with the right intention, that is not a bad thing.

The only way out of the struggle phase and into pose mastery is through daily and consistent practice. When many of us enter the struggle phase, we do the exact opposite. We practice less or stop all together. This only gets us stuck in the struggle phase. Dig down and keep going. The breakthrough is coming.

Surrender requires faith and it is itself an act of faith. If we do not believe in a power greater and grander than ourselves we might think that we have to bear the weight of the world on our shoulders. We might carry blame and shame around like chains around our hearts. It is so easy to judge every experience as a pass or fail test. When we succeed we feel like a hero, but when we fail we feel like a victim. But faith allows us to see from a totally different perspective, from a Divine perspective.

One year in lockdown and quarantine and I bet we are still in our own processes of transition, release and surrender, yet in the midst of such intensity there is a reflection of hope amidst a sea of doubt and disbelief. We usually see in the world what we have cultivated within ourselves. Yoga teaches us to have faith in our own ability to change and grow, to know and evolve our own values and literally to become the change we want to see in the world. Accordingly what change we can believe in is a direct reflection of our own strength and grace.

Sadhana Siargao

We are excited to announce that we are finally resuming classes starting March 2nd! Patrick Santos will be teaching in Sadhana over the next few months and we are looking forward to seeing new and old faces in the shala!

Patrick was first introduced to yoga in 2006 while pursuing his Culinary Studies and fell in love with ashtanga yoga 7 years ago. He introduced Ashtanga Yoga in the tradition of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Saudi Arabia and has taught in different parts of the Middle East. He currently resides in Manila, where he started Ashtanga Yoga Manila in 2017.

As a chef and an Ashtanga Yoga practitioner, Patrick hopes to unite his two passions: promoting healthy living through food and spiritual wholeness through the practice.

Patrick goes to Mysore, India every year for an extended stay to further enrich his studies at the Sri K. Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute/ Sharath Yoga Center and was given the blessing to teach both the primary and intermediate series.

Guru is the creator Brahma, Guru is the preserver Vishnu, Guru is the destroyer Shiva. Guru is directly the supreme spirit — I offer my salutations to this Guru.
Forever grateful to my Teacher, Sharathji. Thank you for guiding us through this path and through this method and thank you for entrusting me to share this wonderful method in my hometown.
Happy Guru Poornima

To the people and students who made this experimental class at @rebelyogamanila possible three years ago, thank you for every kind word, every smile, every gift, every gesture of gratitude, and every single time you attend my class, words cannot express how appreciative and thankful I am. You have taught me how to be a teacher and I am still learning continuously and endlessly with this process!
My yoga students often thank me whenever they finish their practice and leave the Mysore room and while I appreciate their gratitude, I often think that I should be the one thanking them. My students are honest and real and remind me of the good in the complicated world we live in.
Nothing feels better than seeing students growing, improving, changing and balancing. Again, I’m grateful to each and one of you.
Happy 3rd Birthday @ashtangayogamanila

There is no easy way to say this but the reality is that the Ashtanga Yoga Method is really hard. The longer we practice the more we forget what a marathon the Primary Series really is. For total yoga beginners this can seem totally dreadful and defeating.
The Ashtanga Yoga Method is meant not to be easy on the first try. This is one of the lessons in the practice. Instead of making the method easy, the practice asks us to make our mind and thinking strong. If we accept our failures and learn to love ourselves anyway, then we are practicing a valuable skill.
