Sign up at the link above.JUMP THROUGHS: Ashtanga Yoga Remember that your straight arms will always feel more powerful and strong than bent arms because you leverage the strength of your bones in the pose. When done properly, you can jump through and back with very little muscular strength at all. You will need to engage your bandhas (internal locks), and even more so, you need to learn how to transfer your weight from your feet to your hands, and then back to you feet again. HIPS IN JUMP THROUGHS Your hips are the missing link here and you want to put your focus on hip position at al times. The higher your hips are in the air over your shoulders, the lighter your feet and legs will feel. The converse is also true. PRACTICE MOVEMENTS: Ashtanga Yoga Jump Thru’s Practice mock jumps with both hands and feet on the floor. You do this by keeping your arms all the way straight and rising up on your tips toes. Move your chest out over your hands and then back again. Feel yourself supported by your hands, then feet, then back to hands again.ASHTANGA JUMP BACK / JUMP FORWRAD http://www.yogabodynaturals.com/articles/yogabody-ashtanga-yoga-jump-back-jump-forward/ <a href="http://www.yogabodynaturals.com/articles/yogabody-ashtanga-yoga-jump-back-jump-forward/ ">Hatha Yoga Exercises</a>  less

Keep your hands completely flat on the mat and move your chest as far over your hands as you can.JUMP THROUGH TIPS 1. Keep your hips high 2. Don’t worry about jumping so much as keeping your hips up 3. Arms completely straightWHY DO JUMP THROUGHS? Ashtanga Yoga jump throughs are not so much a yoga pose as a transition pose that helps you move from vinyasa postures into a seated pose without stopping. Efficiency and conservation of energy is helpful when you’re doing lots of postures, and although this transition CAN be very tiring at first, it later becomes easier and simpler.

You need to get a really strong connection down into the ground and this starts with flat hands, spread fingers, evenly distributed weight throughout your hands. The next important factor is to bring your weight forward over your hands. You want to literally feel your chest moving out in front of your hands. It might feel like you are about to fall forward… this is OK! ASHTANGA JUMP BACK TIPs The jumping part of this is very very minimal, and eventually is not a jump at all. It becomes just a life and slide, a shift of weight. http://www.yogabodynaturals.com/articles/yogabody-ashtanga-yoga-chakrasana-pose/ I made a bunch of yoga videos you might be interested in too.

When your hips are over your shoulders, your lower body will feel very light and you can swing your legs very easily .When you hips are back (toward your ankles), your lower body will feel heavy.

I came to live.” Maya Breuer“Practicing asanas began to teach me about myself. The body is such a great school of learning. It makes you pay attention.” Lilias Folan“The challenge, and the opportunity, that Yoga presents to us is the possibility of breaking the conditioning cycle. We do this by becoming aware of the depth and pervasiveness of our patterns and, at the same time, by working to change them. And true transformation begins at the moment that we become aware of our actual condition.” Gary Kraftsow“What I want to say is that there is a strong relationship between yoga on the mat and yoga off the mat. I’ve really come to believe that the energy accumulated in practice has a lot to do with my ability to get clarity about the reality of things.” John Friend <a href="http://www.yogabodynaturals.com/articles/hips-don%E2%80%99t-lie">Learn Yoga Poses</a>“People sometimes ask me what difference practice has made in my life. The answer is it’s changed everything for me. And, in a funny way, it’s changed nothing." Lama Surya Das “The most profound benefit of yoga and meditation for me has been a natural relaxing into my life. Obstacles are not so scary. I am more fluid, more curious, and at the same time more patient. I have more options for happiness because I don’t require specific conditions. It is a relief to discover that I can be happy even if the world doesn’t revolve around me or my agenda.” Cyndi Lee<a href="http://www.yogabodynaturals.com/articles"> Yoga Student Articles/Resources </a>  less

YOGA SUTRA COMMENTARY [excerpt from Charles Johnston]1. OM: Here follows Instruction in Union. Union, here as always in the Scriptures of India, means union of the individual soul with the Oversoul; of the personal consciousness with the Divine Consciousness, whereby the mortal becomes immortal, and enters the Eternal. Therefore, salvation is, first, freedom from sin and the sorrow which comes from sin, and then a divine and eternal well-being, wherein the soul partakes of the being, the wisdom and glory of God. 2. Union, spiritual consciousness, is gained through control of the versatile psychic nature. The goal is the full consciousness of the spiritual man, illumined by the Divine Light. Nothing except the obdurate resistance of the psychic nature keeps us back from the goal. The psychical powers are spiritual powers run wild, perverted, drawn from their proper channel. Therefore our first task is, to regain control of this perverted nature, to chasten, purify and restore the misplaced powers. 3. Then the Seer comes to consciousness in his proper nature. Egotism is but the perversion of spiritual being. Ambition is the inversion of spiritual power. Passion is the distortion of love. The mortal is the limitation of the immortal. When these false images give place to true, then the spiritual man stands forth luminous, as the sun, when the clouds disperse.

YOGA SUTRA COMMENTARY [excerpt from Charles Johnston]We think of ourselves as living a purely physical life, in these material bodies of ours. In reality, we have gone far indeed from pure physical life; for ages, our life has been psychical, we have been centered and immersed in the psychic nature. Some of the schools of India say that the psychic nature is, as it were, a looking-glass, wherein are mirrored the things seen by the physical eyes, and heard by the physical ears. But this is a magic mirror; the images remain, and take a certain life of their own. Power Yoga Warm Up: Sun Salute <a href="http://www.yogabodynaturals.com/articles/ashtanga-sun-salutation-a-video-demo">Sun Salutation Video</a>Thus within the psychic realm of our life there grows up an imaged world wherein we dwell; a world of the images of things seen and heard, and therefore a world of memories; a world also of hopes and desires, of fears and regrets. Mental life grows up among these images, built on a measuring and comparing, on the massing of images together into general ideas; on the abstraction of new notions and images from these; till a new world is built up within, full of desires and hates, ambition, envy, longing, speculation, curiosity, self-will, self-interest.

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali are in themselves exceedingly brief, less than ten pages of large type in the original. Yet they contain the essence of practical wisdom, set forth in admirable order and detail. The theme, if the present interpreter be right, is the great regeneration, the birth of the spiritual from the psychical man: the same theme which Paul so wisely and eloquently set forth in writing to his disciples in Corinth, the theme of all mystics in all lands. The teaching of the East is, that all these are true powers overlaid by false desires; that though in manifestation psychical, they are in essence spiritual; that the psychical man is the veil and prophecy of the spiritual man. The purpose of life, therefore, is the realizing of that prophecy; the unveiling of the immortal man; the birth of the spiritual from the psychical, whereby we enter our divine inheritance and come to inhabit Eternity. This is, indeed, salvation, the purpose of all true religion, in all times.

YOGA OF CONCENTRATION [excerpt from SWAMI MUKERJI]Concentration signifies the state of being at a centre. Applied to thought, it is the act of bringing the mind to a single point. Each human being must practice concentration subjectively and objectively. In other words, each human being aims with more or less precision at concentration on a point within and a point without his own world. Concentration "without" is illustrated when you devote all your attention upon Nature, such as learning a trade, a profession, a science, an art or some form of business. This is Evolution, outgoing or positive mental energy. I shall call this Objective Concentration. Concentration "within" implies the withdrawing of attention from the external world and the placing of mind on "God," "Spirit," "Heaven," "Religion," "Peace," "Nirvana," "Eternity," etc. This is Involution, i.e., incoming or negative energy. <a href="http://www.YogaBodyNaturals.com/videos.html">Hatha Yoga</a> When Objective Concentration alone is practiced, you develop into a hard-headed, practical man of the world or a successful man of business. You are keen and shrewd. The world is a very matter-of-fact thing to you. You cannot think of anything else beyond money-making and pleasures and worldly affairs. You are a "worldling of the world," very clever, rich, and a master along your own lines. But spiritually you are an imbecile, worse than a baby.

FOOD   more...MAKES YOU FLEXIBLE? Sounds crazy, right? Well, it’s true. This is not science or theory; it’s a real-life, student-tested fact. If you eat a water-dense, plant-based diet with lots of superfoods, you’ll notice flexibility gains within three days.Don’t take my word for it—just try it!Below is a shortlist of my favorite Superfoods. Buy them fresh or low-temperature dried, and purchase organic whenever possible.DARK GREENS Dark green vegetables are some of the most mineral-dense foods on the planet, and waterborne greens or sprouted greens are even better (waterborne greens usually have 2-10 times more minerals)Primary Benefits: - potent source for minerals - alkalizing effect on the body (fights acid build-up) - boosts immune system - high in fiber (healthy bowels) - chlorophyll rich (cleanses and energizes the body)How-To: Backbend dropback video: <a href="http://www.yogabodynaturals.com/articles">Yoga Poses</a>SHOPPING LIST Spirulina, chlorella, barley grass juice extract, wheat grass, kale, parsley, all seaweeds and sea vegetables, chard, and spinach.PREHISTORIC GRAINS & SEEDS The advances in agricultural technology (selective breeding and genetic engineering) directly correlate to the decline of the nutritional value of our foods.Plants such as corn, soy, and rice—staples of the modern world—are a great source for calories, but they no longer pack the nutritional punch they did when our ancestors first began domestic cultivation.Today, the most nutrient-dense foods are what I call the prehistoric plants; the ugly, brown-colored, intimidating dry good you see in plastic bins at the health food stores.For more yoga poses, flexibility, an stretching resources, visit: <a href="http://www.yogabodynaturals.com/articles">Yoga Flexibility Exercises</a>  less

ARDHA BADDHA PADMOTTANASANA – Free Yoga Video Stretching   more...exercise video series with Lucas Rockwood, founder of YOGABODY Naturals. Lucas demonstrates ardha badha padmottanasana for flexibility of the knees, hips, and ankles.ABOUT THIS YOGA POSE Yoga is a really safe practice, but people do hurt themselves regularly, usually when they are trying to move too quickly into a posture they are not ready for. Also, in yoga, often the poses that heal our weak areas of the body are ALSO the same poses that can hurt us if we’re not careful. Ardha badha padmottanasan, for example, is excellent for building strong knees, angles, and hips, but you need to be careful anytime you bend and rotate your knees. FLEXIBILITY IN JOINTS http://www.yogabodynaturals.com/articles Often, we talk about “opening up our hips” or “loosening up our spine.” But the truth is, when we want a joint to have more range of motion, what we want to “loosen up” is the connective tissues supporting that joint. So the knuckle on your index finger has a small amount of connective tissue supporting it compared with your hip joint. For this reason, you can “open up” your hands much quicker than you can your hips. You can also accomplish more with less, meaning less time and energy will produce greater results… this is why many us struggle with stiffness in the big joints. The hips, the knees, the shoulders. FLEXIBILITY CAN BE LEARNED I used to be extremely stiff… so stiff, I honestly never thought I’d make it through an entire yoga class much less become a teacher. But flexibility is not magic. It’s not genetic. There’s a science to it, and I’ve done a good job of cracking the code. Nutrition is essential. Let me show you: http://www.yogabodynaturals.com/about.html  less
