Time Out 3

And here comes the last month of this Time Out season. If you don't know, Time Out evenings are events in Joga Studio Sadhana, aimed at promoting yoga culture in a wider sense. That means we're trying to expand people's knowledge on yoga beyond body postures and give them a brief insight into yoga's philosophy, psychology, therapy and more. Some topics go even broader than that: Indian dance, music and literature, since India is the motherland of yoga and since great artists of Indian culture were always considered great yogis as well.

So, the last two events before summer break are relaxation with the sound of gongs (performed by Špela Cvetko) and my lecture on Yoga Psychology. I've been fascinated by this topic ever since I read my first yoga book and I have a feeling that this is something I keep explaining to my students anyway. Piece by piece. Now I'm going to give this topic the form of a proper lecture. You'll hear about koshas, chakras, gunas, swara, yamas, niyamas, karma yoga and much more...

Everybody welcome :)

Yoga workshop with Shiva Shankar

I met Shiva Shankar many years ago at the Prashanti Kutiram ashram near Bangalore. He was a very interesting person, a brahmin brought up into yoga since his young age. Ever since then I've been thinking of inviting him to Slovenia for a workshop but somehow I was never in Europe when he was here for his yoga tour. This year it somehow worked out so I'm proud to present Shiva Shankar, an Indian yoga teacher faithful to the tradition, who will give us insight to mantras, asanas, pranayamas, mudras, bandhas, pholosophy and meditation, as based on ancient yogic texts. He will be giving his teachings at Yoga studio Sadhana between 6th and 10th July.

Joga v sodobnem svetu velikokrat predstavlja zgolj metodo za lajšanje stresa ali način, kako do vitkega telesa. Izvzeta iz svojega prvotnega konteksta je torej postavljena v službo fizioterapije, psihoterapije in lepotne industrije. Vse preveč radi pozabljamo na njeno več tisočletno zgodovino, v kateri se je oblikovala kot ena najbolj dovršenih in kompleksnih duhovnih disciplin na svetu. Velikokrat zato jogijski iskalci po izkušnjo pristnosti zahajamo v Indijo, domovino joge. To poletje pa bo Indija prišla k nam. Ljubljano bo obiskal spoštovani učitelj Shiva Shankar in nam jogo predstavil v skladu s starodavno jogijsko tradicijo. Spoznajte se z mantrami, asanami, pranajamami, mudrami, bandhami in filozofijo, kot jih podaja klasično jogijsko izročilo.

Shiva Shankar (z rojstnim imenom Durgaprasad Upadhyaya) se je v hindujsko brahminsko družino rodil leta 1974 v Jagannathpuriju v Orissi. Že od majhnih nog se je šolal znotraj tradicionalnih jogijskih gurukulov, kjer je osvojil sanskrt, veščino manter in poznavanje starodavnih indijskih tekstov. Po zaključenem šolanju se je odločil stopiti po poti Himalajskih mojstrov in svoje življenje posvetiti jogi.

Jogijska znanja je tekom let nabiral v različnih cenjenih institucijah, kot je recimo Iyengar Yoga Institute, Bihar School of Yoga, SVYASA, Yogada Satsang Society, itd… Ko je spoznal cenjenega mojstra meditacije Swamija Vedo Bharatija, ga je le ta iniciiral v Himalajsko tradicijo. Himalajska tradicija velja za eno najstarejših meditativnih izročil na svetu, naslanja pa se na nauke Jogijskih suter, Vedante in Tantre. Po navodilu učitelja se je nato odpravil še v Kailash Ashram v Rishikeshu in se posvetil študiju klasičnih indijskih filozofij in sanskrtskih tekstov Vedske tradicije.

Shiva že več kot deset let poučuje jogo po celem svetu. Tako v Indiji kot tudi v Evropi, na Japonskem, Tajskem in drugje vodi učiteljske tečaje, jogijske seminarje in vikend delavnice, organizira pa tudi odprave na Himalajo. Njegov kurikulum vsebuje hatha jogo, raja jogo, mantra jogo in laya jogo.

Time Out 2

The first month of Time Out events was really nice. We listened to the sounds of Tibetan bowls, we experienced the hidden magic of old Slovenian folk songs and we learned about ancient yogic cleansing techniques.

The upcoming events are also aimed at promoting a wider and deeper knowledge of yoga and Indian culture.

The first in the series will be a workshop on yoga nidra, a practice with ancient tantric roots, which is now used as a form of a deep relaxation with huge benefits for our bodies and minds. It's also referred to as a 'dynamic sleep' or 'dreaming awake' since it brings you to the borderlines of sleep and wakefulness where you experience the prolonged activity of alpha brain waves. Yoga nidra is recommended to people suffering from psychosomatic diseases such as insomnia, back problems, diabetes, hypertension, heart diseases, asthma, ulcer, migraine, cancer, digestive and skin disorders... It's also suited for people trying to improve their attitude towards life, their behavior, habits, memory, concentration and awakening their full spiritual potentials. This workshop will be conducted by me.

The second workshop will be guided meditation with the support of live Indian music. The meditation will be conducted by yoga teacher Ana Colja. I will post more information about this event soon.

The third Time Out of this month will be about dancing. I'm really happy to announce that my favorite dance teacher Sylvia Valentine, who inspired me deeply, will be coming to give a workshop in Yoga studia Sadhana. She is a Bharatanatyam dancer and a truly amazing artist and I have to say attending her dance lessons were the highlight of this year for me. At the workshop Sylvia Valentine will teach us bhangra, a folk dance from Punjab, and a Bollywood choreography with elements of Rajastani folk dance and with lots of mudras. I can't wait!

The last event of this month will be a lecture on Bhagavadgita. Our guest will be Tina Košir Mazi, who is herself a yoga teacher and Satyananda yoga practitioner. She is also involved with yoga philosophy on the academic level: Bhagavadgita was her major at university and kashmiri saivism is now the theme of her PGD studies.
Bhagavadgita itself is the jewel of Indian philosophy and literature. It's a part of the great epic Mahabharata; it starts, when Arjun, one of the warriors in the great battle on the fields of Kurukshetra, decides he doesn't want to fight. "I don't care about this kingdom and power, if I have to kill my relatives just to get them." But his charioteer is no other than Hindu god Krishna, who explains to him why he has to fight. He also explains about karma, dharma, different types of yoga and more... An always inspiring and interesting subject, I'm really grateful for the chance to hear more about it.

Anyway, everybody is welcome to these events. We meet up every Thursday at 20.00 at Yoga Studio Sadhana!

Time Out

I'm happy to announce a series of events called Time Out which I will organize or help to organize at Yoga Studio Sadhana in Ljubljana. Events will be held on Thursdays at 8.00 pm from this week until the end of June. You can expect yoga workshops, concerts, dance classes, meditation and much more.

For the opening of this Time Out season, we're hosting Dagmar Lukanovič who will be playing her Tibetan bowls and guiding us into deep relaxation.

Next week we'll be hosting Lunin Med, a duo who plays Slovenian folk songs, supported by folk instruments from all over the world.

On the last week of April I'll be giving a lecture on yoga cleansing techniques (sat-karmas). These are techniques I studied in India many years ago and I still find them very fascinating and useful.

These are open events, which means you're welcome to come even if you don't do yoga.

Check our website or facebook page for more details.

Še nekaj besed o sebi, za tiste, ki me kot učiteljico joge še ne poznate:

Svojo učiteljsko pot sem pričela leta 2007. Marca sem se udeležila enomesečnega tečaja za učitelje joge 'Yoga Foundation Course' na SVYASA- Svami Vivekananda yoga anusandhana samsthana, univerzi za jogijske certifikate in raziskave v Bangalorejuv Indiji.

Leta 2008 sem se udeležila delavnice zazen meditacije na Japonskem v slavnem zenovskem samostanu Soji-ji.

Leta 2009 sem v ašramu Yoga Vidya Gurukul v Nasiku v Indiji prejela diplomo v jogijskih študijah 'Diploma in yogic studies'. Študij je zajemal napredne jogijske tehnike in filozofijo.

V letu 2010 sem se dodatno izobraževala na domači Sadhani, kjer poučujem že od leta 2007 in sicer v okviru Sadhana- šole joge.

V začetku letošnjega leta (2011) sem v Tiruvannamalaiju v Indiji obiskovala cikel predavanj Vedante, ene izmed indijskih filozofij.

Udeležila sem se še raznih delavnic iz področja joge in ayurvede, jogo pa sem poleg v Sloveniji poučevala tudi v Indiji in na Japonskem.
