The practice focuses on yoga poses which will loosen the knots at our chakras and allow our prana (lung) to flow more freely in our inner bodies.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">This is a unique series, as it is the only known series specifically designed by a female yoga master from Ancient India.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);font-family:arial;" >About Robert Mitchel:</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Robert Mitchell is a close student of Mira Shani. Robert is an American, 64 years old, who works as a library administrator at the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona, USA. He teaches yoga at </span><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://www.3jewelstucson.com/">Three Jewels Tucson</a><span style="font-family:arial;">. He is a Yoga Studies Institute certified yoga instructor, having graduated in 2009.

In Sanskrit, <span style="font-style: italic;">vi means </span>”in a special way,” and <span style="font-style: italic;">nyasa </span>means “to place.” <span style="font-style: italic;">Vinyasa </span>literally means “to place in a special way.” It is a kind of “flow” of movement following the rhythm of the inhalation and exhalation.<br />In this class, there is no specific sequence, poses rather emerge spontaneously from the flow. New Asanas will be introduced now and then for which the class will be prepared in previous sessions. This dynamic practice will make you move, sweat, and smile...!<br /><br /><br /><strong style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">TIBETAN HEART YOGA</strong> - The <span style="font-style: italic;">Tibetan Heart Yoga</span> system is rooted in a lineage started by Master Naropa, a yogi who lived around 1100 AD. This style is unique as it combines modern and ancient <span style="font-style: italic;">asanas </span>(poses) and strong wisdom derived from the Yoga teachings of the Dalai Lamas of Tibet.<br />In <span style="font-style: italic;">Tibetan Heart Yoga</span>, the inner and outer methods are combined to create a powerful practice. We work from the inside with our thoughts and from the outside with our <span style="font-style: italic;">asana</span> (poses) and <span style="font-style: italic;">pranayama </span>(breathing). The intention with which we practice the <span style="font-style: italic;">asana </span>is regarded as the most important element of the THY practice. This is a dynamic class.<br /><br /><br /><strong style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">HATHA YOGA</strong> - Hatha means “Sun and Moon” or "Nyin-Dah". In Sanskrit, <em>ha</em> means “Sun” and <em>tha</em> means ” Moon”, two opposites forming a balanced union. Yoga is a place where to find balance and inner Peace.<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"></span></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204); font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"></span></span> The practice of Yoga balances the left and right, yin and yang, feminine and masculine, Sun and Moon in ourselves by centering the <span style="font-style: italic;">prana </span>(or "life energy" present in all of us).<br />In this class, the poses are held long in order to work on body alignment and awareness.<br />This is the style Dr. John teaches in his classes.<br /><br /><br /><strong style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">YIN YOGA</strong> - Yin Yoga focuses on stretching the connective tissue that forms our joints. In order to do that, poses are held for long periods (3-5 min) making it a deeper practice. Since strengthening the muscles is not the main target, there is very little movement involved.<br />Yin Yoga was developed by <a href="http://www.paulgrilley.com/">Paul and Suzee Grilley</a> based on Dr. Hiroshi Motoyama's Meridian Theory.<br />In this class, we'll hold Asanas for a long time focussing on areas that tend to get tight, such as hips and lower back. Such a quiet practice invites inner exploration of body sensations and provides space to calm the mind.<br /></div> <strong></strong><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong></strong><br /><strong style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"> RESTORATIVE YOGA</strong> - In this practice, with the help of props such as bolsters, blankets, straps, sandbags, your body is fully supported and able to completely relax and open in a yoga pose. Having no muscles involved, you will release deep tension and regain energy and balance. These simple supported poses are held for long periods of time.<br />Restorative sessions are ideal (not only) for when you feel tired.<br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044377560686193520.post-48849951419231161412010-07-10T22:43:00.004+06:002010-11-01T13:55:09.176+06:00Teachers<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Joyce - Tsering Om!</span></span><br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2cASKxOoFvlLR7YK1VpcaPpGjkNzk8L0qfzdvIHeAFbNta-KYnHEZYkih4KnPtV6TteHw7gtnbINSY_Qa0eMwB9bwiwgdvWkhDKF6u9UZfsv8p49RruhMaALPIQCzC3S3_NLwook-JvYT/s1600-h/DSC_2311_small.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2cASKxOoFvlLR7YK1VpcaPpGjkNzk8L0qfzdvIHeAFbNta-KYnHEZYkih4KnPtV6TteHw7gtnbINSY_Qa0eMwB9bwiwgdvWkhDKF6u9UZfsv8p49RruhMaALPIQCzC3S3_NLwook-JvYT/s400/DSC_2311_small.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433522617273339522" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:arial;">When someone asks me where I am from, I answer: "I am half French, half Italian, born in Barcelona (Catalunya, Spain)... and now I am Bhutanese." :D</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">I met yoga in 1996 during University studies in Barcelona. From the first class, I felt a very strong connection with Yoga and never stopped practicing it.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-family:arial;">I am a neuroscientist, </span><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://www.labmeeting.com/papers/author/boucard-cc">I study plasticity</a><span style="font-family:arial;"> in the brain and the v</span>isual system. Although at the beginning of my life as a researcher I thought science was the way to contribute to humanity, I now believe in a more subtle way to make my actions beneficial to the world, and Yoga has a lot to do with it. That's why Yoga has become more and more a central part of my life.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">After my hard-working 4 years of PhD in The Netherlands, I strongly felt it was time to deeply jump into yoga. During my 2.5 years of post-doc in Japan, I had the chance to find <a href="http://sunandmoon.jp/">Sun and Moon</a>, a magic place in Tokyo where one gets immense inspi<span style="font-family:arial;">ration, especially from </span><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://www.lezalowitz.com/">Leza Lowitz</a><span style="font-family:arial;">, my wonderful teacher. Soon after I took my teacher training at Sun and Moon, </span><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://tanukiyoga.blogspot.com/">Tanuki Yoga</a><span style="font-family:arial;"> was created: I started teaching. During these last 3 years, I have continously taken workshops and teacher trainings (</span><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://www.paulgrilley.com/">Paul Grilley's</a><span style="font-family:arial;"> and </span><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://www.sarahpowers.com/">Sarah Powers</a><span style="font-family:arial;">' Yin Yoga or </span><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://www.shantaya.org/">Jonas Westring's</a><span style="font-family:arial;"> Thai-yoga, for example) to keep on learning and get inspired. I have as well 300h of teacher training in <span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span><a href="http://www.yogastudiesinstitute.org/?subdirectory&idp=107&subidp=71">Tibetan Heart Yoga</a></span></span>.<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Not long ago, I landed in Bhutan. </span><span style="font-family:arial;">All my gratitude to the "karmic forces" that brought me here and gave me the beautiful challenge to set up Nyin-Dah Yoga Studio! Unfortunately, Nyin-Dah Yoga Studio had to close its doors due to the landlady. I will therefore continue teaching in the empty living room of my atic.</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><span style="font-family:arial;">To me, yoga is union in a sense of alignment, of balance. Yoga guides you towards aligning yourself with yourself, reaching balance within Nature. With practice, your body, your mind, your wishes trustfully gain the connection with your inner self.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">I believe in interconnection. I believe that everyone's practice will not only benefit oneself but the whole world. Asana helps us breathe; deep balanced breathing makes the mind clear and focussed; a focussed mind leads us to awareness and mindful actions; and mindful actions can only result in a meaningful world.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">In my classes, I give wide explanations and really try to transmit the essence of yoga through </span><span style="font-family:arial;">Asana (physical exercise), Pranayama (breathing exercises), Meditation</span><span style="font-family:arial;">. A lot of importance is given into bringing awareness of body posture, breathing, mind and the flowing of Prana.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-family:arial;font-size:130%;" ></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Namaste,</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Joyce!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);font-size:180%;" ><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">* * * * * * * *</span></span><br /></div><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-family:arial;font-size:130%;" ><br /><br /></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-family:arial;font-size:130%;" ></span><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044377560686193520.post-75982769635226847792010-07-10T22:30:00.012+06:002011-03-05T19:03:58.995+06:00When Where and What?<div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">WHEN?</span></span><br /></div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br />For the moment, the idea is to have </span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">1h30 class</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"> </span></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">Monday </span><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">and </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">Thursday </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">at </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">6pm</span></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">(arrive 15-20min earlier)</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">IT IS ADVICED TO CHECK THE BLOG </span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">(or call/e-mail)</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> BEFORE COMING<br />SINCE<span style="font-weight: bold;"> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">SOMETIMES THE CLASS WILL HAVE TO BE CANCELLED </span></span></span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;"><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">Private classes</span></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">are also available under request:</span><br />17957404 or tsering.om@gmail.com<br /><br /></span></span></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);font-size:180%;" >* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *<br /><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" ><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">WHERE?</span></span><br /></div><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />The atic</span></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> is at the top of the small building at<span style="font-size:130%;"> </span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" >Shambala Apartments</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">It's very close to UNICEF.
