MYSORE & ASHTANGA VINYASA

Mysore Style is the traditional way Ashtanga Yoga was taught by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and continues to be taught by his grandson R. Sharath in Mysore, India.  At ECHOYoga we are grateful and honored to have the privilege to study and teach this method.  We dedicate our teaching to this lineage.

In a Mysore Style class each student is taught individually as part of a group and practices up to a point in the sequence according to their ability and experience, and as the postures are given by the teacher.  Advanced and beginner students practice side by side within the same class.  New poses are given by the teacher as the student becomes ready.  The teacher gives hands on adjustments to assist students with alignment and to move deeper into poses.  Mysore style classes give yoga practitioners the chance to focus on the rhythm of their own breath, synchronizing it with movement and postures in a meditative way.

At ECHOyoga, students learn the fixed order of postures, building one by one from the previous posture as an assisted self-practice with hands on adjustments. With daily practice, and through the breath, the body receives the knowledge and spirit from the asana; and the mind, body and soul will be connecting and healing organically by itself. Students are given the practice within the system, according to their ability, for their needs, and for their personal healing.  It is a deep therapy that accommodates everyone, of all levels, even those without any prior yoga experience, from beginner to advanced.  By teaching the Mysore style of Ashtanga Vinyasa, ECHOyoga wants students to become independent in their practice by allowing the method and practice to be the true teacher.

Certified Ashtanga Vinyasa teachers take beginners through individualized instructions of the sequence, with the objective of developing a personal practice tailored for each student. Students learn the fixed order of poses, building one by on one the previous pose as an assisted self-practice with hands on adjustment. This class is perfect for beginners as a teacher is assigned to them for that day. More advance practitioners can also practice on the side, with a teacher available to help them when needed. Students can arrive anything within the first 45 minutes of the class session but must finish their practice by 10am.
YIN, YIN FLOW, YOGA NIDRA
Yin Yoga
Thursday nights 6:30-8pm taught by Dona Esteban
This is a calming and relaxing practice where participants yield to each pose, held for 3-5 minutes with relaxed muscles, allowing time and gravity to get deeper to the fullness of each pose. Poses target the deep connective tissues between muscular layers and those surrounding the joints. Yin Yoga is suitable for all levels and ages and is safe for pregnant women.
Yin Flow and Yoga Nidra
Tuesdays nights, 630-8pm form April 23-July taught by Bela Lipat
Two (2) class card slots for regular students or Drop-in at Php 800

Yin Flow is a combination of Vinyasa flow and Yin Yoga–a gentle yet dynamic combination of flowing active sequences–which build strength & muscular flexibility; and passive longer-held poses–that work on lengthening the connective tissue and opening the range of movement in the joints. Yoga Nidra is a special relaxation technique with deep effect on body, energies and mind.  Enjoy the complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation but also get to explore the tremendous powers hidden in the deeper layers of subconscious and unconscious mind.
YOGA FOR LIFE: Therapy for the Immune System
This first every community-based yoga class series is specially designed for the needs of people living with HIV and AIDS, and for others who support them and want to experience the beauty of yoga.  It offers a variety of postures, breathing practices and guided meditations that are directed towards alleviating the fear and stress associated with HIV and AIDS. Yoga quiets the mind, improves breathing and circulation, strengthens the immune system, among other physiological and psychological benefits.  Regular yoga practice can be an important complementary therapy to a comprehensive HIV treatment program.

Self-Practice
ECHOyoga offers Self-Practice space and time for practitioners of the Ashtanga Vinyasa style (suggested donation for self-practice is Php 100)
SEVA (Service) Sessions

In Yoga philosophy, the virtue of generosity as a yogic responsibility reminds us that all beings live from the donations of others, as the world family, and that we are all connected.  The action of giving back is a sincere sharing of wealth (money, talents, service) acquired by right means, and it is counted among the ten niyamas (the code of conduct) on the Yoga path.

Service (seva in Sanskrit) is something necessary for continued development on the Yoga path. Community is nurtured through voluntary gatherings for service together where teachers and students can connect with each other while at the same time do something that makes the world a better place. Teachers offer their services for free.  ECHOyoga teachers offer SEVA classes for Yoga for Life, every Saturdays.
