Інструкторка з йоги у команді Yogis Without Borders
I’m Oleksandra and I invite you to practice yoga with me in Austin, Texas. My Hatha classes include study of asanas and pranayamas.
YOU WILL FEEL BETTER after hatha class with me, not just hot, tired and sore. How?
In the class we use asana alignment as a method of restoring healthy muscular balance. This, in its turn, relieves the persistent strain in muscles, tones the weak zones, and helps to correct posture. This is the base for fostering health and general well-being, carrying the effects of hatha yoga into our daily lives.
We learn to recognize the effects of yoga from the inside, not just recreating the shapes of asanas. When asanas are done correctly, practitioners may feel distinct somatic sensations throughout the body. Esoteric systems may attribute such sensations to the effects on one of the subtle, or ‘fine’ bodies. Now our practice takes us to the dimension beyond purely physical.
In classes we will try to notice the subtle sensations and see how they correlate with the practice. I will discuss the key concepts such as ‘energy’, so we can use clear and precise language to describe the practice and its effects.
My favorite part of teaching is seeing the student’s AHA moments, when they are discovering new sensations, greater freedom of movement and deeper breath.
My teaching follows the tradition of the Ukrainian Federation of Yoga and the principles presented in my teacher Andrey Safronov’s book ‘Yoga: Physiology, Psychosomatics, Bioenergetics’ which is available online. I recommend it as an introduction to the approach and as a guide for home practice.
Hatha classes are open to everyone. Welcome to practice with me — in the park or a studio. If you want to know about current classes, join my Instagram Broadcast channel (use link on mobile).
