Led Class In Shala & Online
The Traditional Sanskrit Counted Led Primary is a beautiful way to really learn the sequence thoroughly, to synchronise the breath with movement with the correct vinyasa, to learn the asana names and Sanskrit count, and there is something so powerful about practising with others flowing through the same series simultaneously.
Sharathji describes a led class thus: ‘Let me explain a led class: where we call the asana names, count the vinyasas and every student is practicing the asana at the same time. This is to improve vinyasa and have proper understanding of the system: where to inhale and exhale, and to follow the vinyasa properly.’
So what is vinyasa? According to Pattabhi Jois: ‘Vinyasa means “breathing system.” Without vinyasa, don’t do asana. When vinyasa is perfect, the mind is under control. That’s the main thing-controlling the mind. That’s the method Patanjali described. The scriptures say that prana and apana are made equal by keeping the ratio of inhalation and exhalation equal and by following the breath in the nostrils with the mind. If you practice this way, gradually mind comes under control.’ (Please click here for the full interview).
