Dear Students of Yoga; I want to take a moment to invite you to Axis Yoga’s Final Practicum for its graduating students. This Denver based event is offered Free to the Public. These students have dedicated themselves intensely to the practice and now wish to share the fruits of their discoveries with you! Sumptuous Refreshments […]
I often tell people that Axis Yoga’s training is unique in many ways. To begin, we are a classically based program. What this means in practice is that we reference historical and scriptural perspectives on yoga. The practice of yoga has undergone a tremendous transmutation in the last 100 years since first arriving on our […]
A simple example of this would be the practice of yama and niyama, or the basic moral precepts of the practice. Students choose one of these virtues to practice for about two weeks before reporting their findings to the rest of the group. This sharing of personal realizations not only enriches the individual (and gives […]
The training is coming closer to an end, and this is the final experiment. At first, I thought I should choose the hardest experiment. I thought I should pick something that I am not good at. What is it? Maybe pranayama? Or maybe mantra? Then, I asked Derik his opinion and his answer was I […]
My strength is I can focus, I am consistent, I am motivated and I am goal oriented. Those qualities often cause struggles and burn me out, but the problem is I just don’t want to let go of anything; I always want to hold onto it and keep it going. I think I have the […]
My regular home practice routines are as follows; Seated warm-up Surya Namaskar (x 3) One ore Two Standing poses (i.e. Warrior series, Triangle series, Tree pose…) Head Stand & Shoulder Stand (Those are good for my Immune disorder disease) Twisted Setu Bandhasana (It’s good for mental difficulties) Supta Baddha Konasana Savasana (10 to 15 min.) […]
As I mentioned, I struggled a lot at the beginning. I even wondered if I could make it through the training, but instead of giving up my faith, I learned to let go of my struggles gradually. Now, the training is almost over. I was counting how many days I have left every time I […]
I want to announce the grand opening of Denver’s newest yoga studio, the Karma Yoga Center. The owner, Katrina Broyles, has poured a ton of dedication, love and fabulous interior design and ambiance into the place. Her wholehearted attention is palpable when you walk through the door. I just returned from an introductory meeting and […]
There are many, many ways to practice yoga. Obviously, the method of choice among millions of Americans is asana practice. Yoga’s history and roots go deep into the past. The theories and methods that support the practice have been experimented with and refined over the course of thousands of years. The objective of all of […]
Along this great path of Self discovery, many methods were devised. A project of this magnitude requires on going investigation and revision. The scope of yoga practice is very large and every modality within- the-entire-creation has the potential to unlock our deepest identity. If it uplifts the spirit in a sustainable way, it’s fair game. […]
