As posturas de equilíbrio nos braços são frequentemente o centro das atenções nas aulas de Yôga. Não é difícil ver porquê – elas mostram a força dos braços e, mais importante, a graça de equilibrar-se nos braços e mãos em vez dos pés e pernas, como é costume. O conceito de posturas de equilíbrio nos braços é tipicamente associado ao handstand, que envolve segurar o corpo de cabeça para baixo em posição vertical.
Neste workshop, exploraremos os vários aspectos das posturas de equilíbrio nos braços e como melhorar rapidamente sua capacidade de se segurar em suas próprias mãos. Abordaremos temas como a proteção das articulações das mãos, o fortalecimento dos braços, a elevação das pernas e o uso de diferentes apoios. Além disso, praticaremos uma variedade de asanas com variações da categoria de equilíbrio nos braços, como Kakasana (Crow), Ekapada Galavasana (Flying Pigeon), Tittibhasana (Firefly Pose), Astavakrasana (Eight Angle Pose) e muitas outras.
É importante notar que, como asanas são uma parte integral da prática de Yôga, e o Yôga tem uma abordagem holística da vida, trabalhar nas posturas de equilíbrio nos braços também requer que todo o corpo e mente trabalhem juntos. Depois de começar, não levará muito tempo para ver como as posturas de equilíbrio nos braços visam outras partes do corpo, como o abdomen, as costas, as região lombar, as pernas e os ombros, o que talvez precise para muito de nós, ainda serem trabalhados e desenvolvidos.
Este workshop foi projetado para revelar todo o seu potencial e ajudá-lo a ir além de construir força física e desafiar seus limites mentais e emocionais. Você vai conquistar desafios com seus próprios braços e mãos. Trata-se de cultivar a mentalidade de um alto desempenho – alguém que não tem medo de enfrentar novos desafios, ultrapassar seus limites e estar à altura das circunstâncias. Ao participar, você ganhará uma compreensão mais profunda de suas próprias capacidades e desenvolverá a confiança e a resiliência mental para enfrentar muitos obstáculos que surgirem no seu caminho.
Tanto iniciantes quanto amantes de Yôga não iniciantes são bem-vindos neste Workshop, acessórios estarão disponíveis para aqueles que preferem usá-los. Embora alguns possam preferir praticar sem acessórios, é altamente recomendável utilizá-los para desenvolver maior força e flexibilidade, bem como prevenir lesões. Os acessórios estão disponíveis para ajudar no seu desenvolvimento.
O desafio desta aula é realizar as posturas com segurança e sabedoria. Não se deixar levar pelo entusiasmo das posturas de equilíbrio nos braços e evitar lesões. Acima de tudo, concentrar-se em desenvolver as habilidades necessárias para dominar pelo menos cinco posturas de equilíbrio nos braços.
Quem sabe você se surpreende e descobre que tem um talento inato para o equilíbrio nos braços e nas mãos?
Junte-se a nós e leve sua prática de yoga para o próximo nível, tanto dentro quanto fora do Mate!

Pilates sounds like a big Brand name, and there are lots of people who don’t even know that Pilates was a man. Many of those are practicing his method.
I very good to focus on practice to get the benefits, but one needs to know, what should be known.
I think we can get to know a little bit about this guy called Pilates and his Method also with he same name.
This is an Exercise Method broughted to the world by him.
But before, let’s watch a small Homage to this great Teacher.
Now you may ask, what Pilates really did, what his method is all about?
During the period he has been in the Arm, he got shoot and landing at the hospital with many others injured people, he start to make use of some pieces of beds and whats ever he could find, to help people working in this body even with all injuries. His focus was to maintain the health body parts active, and a strong core. All devices you can see being used in a Pilates Studio, has been redesigned once the War ends and he start to propagate his method. The improvised Bed devices became proper therapeutic devices, which has helped an uncountable number of people since in the last century.
Is no hare to hear people ask: what is the different between Yoga and Pilates, both look so similar?
I rather say befor all, nothing is what appears to be!
Yoga is a Spiritual Discipline and Pilates an Exercise System. Pilates, they guys who develop the Method, by been a child with some difficult health conditions, has made use of the knowledge of his Gymnastic father, and Natural Healer mother, and by combining them, he made something proper for him and helpful form many others too.
The Gymnastic movements, Stretching, Breathing we most know today, has been practices since thausend of year, human beings are using the own body to promote healing since a long period, is not a surprise for me, to see a new Healing Method, similarits with old Systems. Look at the training in a Gymnastic class. Is almost known…, for a good performance, the practitioner must hold stretching postures like a Yogis do, right…
So, the knowledge we already have, thanks the observance of body reaction, after perform stretching postures is wide, right now is no wrong to say, this is a common knowledge.
I prefer to practice, Yoga, or Pilates, both, or something. Rather than care much about the differences. The reason I have to try both is exactly because of their similarities.
Today we have many option, some people take really a good time to pay attention of differences and can explain, according to their views and experiences way better. Here a small detailed explanation on both.

Breath
As you breathe in, cherish yourself.
Dalai Lama
As you breathe out, cherish all Beings.
We all have heard about the importance of the air we breathe, we are most already conformed with the levels of pollution we are inhaling and producing, but there is more related to the air we breathe we should be aware of which is not only about the quality of the air, but the quality of our breath.
Breathing is what connects us with our main energy source, Air or Oxygen! This is what holds us alive and nurtures our bodies, minds, and all kinds of activities we perform as long we have life force.
Let’s do a small observation and reflection:
just take a moment to consider how long a person can be thirsty or hungry? Now ask what about being without oxygen? How long can you stay without breathing, how long you can survive without air?
This is precisely what makes breath a very powerful tool. If on the one hand, this is the most ordinary of all body functions, in another hand, by doing it with awareness you are increasing the quality of your life. By adding a set of Pranayama Technics ti it, you will experience not only of high life quality but also lots of powers.
The Time to Breathwork is practice divided into two parts, the Pranayama part (breathing control), and the meditation. Both set up the mind to focus on one single object, the breath!
For that, you will get guided practices of:
Breathwork and Pranayama can be done by sitting or lying down. In case you have any injury in the lower back, knee, or spine, please let me know before the class start, so we can set up what is necessary for your being able to follow the class. Of course, all propose would be arranged, if available at the Yoga Studio. Preparation for executing the postures, and guidance to build it in a safe way, and as well alternatives for your personal case if necessary.
For a 2h to 2h30 Workshop format, Brahmari, Shikale / Shitkali, and others are added, as well as breath count control, the 4 stages of the breath, and attention to retention (Kumbhaka).
All the technics are transmitted to the attendants in a very simple and clear form. This is for everyone who wanna understand the breadth, take control over the breath, experience breath as an element of calmness and stillness. And use it on the daily basis to make life better. If you are new to Yoga or experienced will not play any role in this, all are welcome and this practice is indicated to everyone.
Most of my practices and classes are a combination of Sukshma Vyayama and Hatha-Yoga. We start practicing breathing work in standing. In the second block, we do some mix, Hatha Multslyle, no style, just prepare the body to sit quietly for a while and continue with the specific Pranayamas.
After the block of movements for preparation, we continue with the breathing program in sitting posture, this will increases our ability to sit and meditate, doing it frequently will increase the length of the practice session. You will get to sit calm like a Yogi if you have this motivation.
This Workshop has a more intermadiate without movement, for participants who wanna push themselves to the limit of siting at least for 60min for different Pranayama Technics in one single session, before going into any movement, meditation, or relaxation. This is a Special Class, and is more appropriate to those who alreary practice regularly, are Yoga-Teachers, or wanna join a Teacher Training Course, or in a similar level.
If you are interested in that one, get in touch, let me know, and let’s do it!
Now we dive into the time and we prepare to closure with a deep relaxation in Yoga Nidra. Again we set our focus on the body and breath. And to close the workshop, we use the Breath as an “Object for Meditation”.
With this in mind and a daily commitment, you will achieve the highest performance in many activities of daily life, in case you are familiarized with visualizations, you case use them in each pranayama practice. Self-healing, Sharping the focus, and faculties are just a few of the benefits to experience.
More energy for life and joy with small things will become features of your personality.
Practice to see it!
Namaste!

Se você está procurando por uma aula de yoga que possa ajudá-lo a ganhar força, vitalidade e energia, não procure mais do que o Hatha-Yoga. Inicialmente uma aula especial de 90 minutos, desde 2012 na Alemanha ela foi estendida para uma sessão de 2 horas ou 2,5 horas para atender a diferentes necessidades. Este esquema de aula é um manual para aqueles que desejam se exercitar para adquirir essas características. É “a base de todas as minhas experiências, feita para que todos vocês possam experimentar”.
O conceito é uma mistura de Sukshma Vyayama e Hatha-Yoga Clássico, que se concentra na regulação da respiração em cada postura e transição de postura. Isso aumenta a energia produzida durante o desempenho das asanas, levando você ao nível de usar a energia para concentração, meditação e visualização.
Pranayama é obrigatório em todas as minhas aulas, pelo menos nas mais básicas, e qualquer aula sempre começará com Adham Pranayama ou respiração yogi, que é fácil de fazer até para iniciantes. Pode ser feito em posição sentada ou em pé, e vem com uma garantia de benefícios de 100% para iniciantes e praticantes avançados.
Se você se pergunta como aplicar essas técnicas yogi na vida diária, basta observar que a respiração está dentro de nós o tempo todo. O Pranayama é o mais fácil e rápido de aplicar na vida diária. Portanto, tanto quanto possível, lembre-se de que está respirando, faça-o conscientemente, consciente e desperto, faça-o conscientemente e aprimore suas qualidades. Só precisamos fazê-lo!
No Workshop de Pranayama mais elaborado, apresentamos aos participantes mais técnicas de pranayama como Anuloma-viloma, Agnisarakriya, Kaphalabhati e muitas outras. Mas, por enquanto, continuamos com apenas uma.
Usamos essa técnica de respiração durante toda a aula e experimentamos a presença no espaço, tempo e atividade, totalmente conscientes. Expandimos nossa versão de algumas rodadas de Surya Namaskar, incluindo modificações e diferentes variações de Asana. Pranayama é introduzido no início da sessão, e posturas em pé são mais recomendadas para apertar Mulabandha e, quando possível, também Uddhyanabandha.
Para obter melhores benefícios das posturas, manteremos por longos períodos de tempo enquanto regulamos a respiração. Praticaremos desde o básico até uma ampla variedade de posturas e transições. Inversões fazem parte deste compêndio, assim como relaxamento prolongado entre elas, abdominais como último trabalho duro e Yoga Nidra.
É um ponto chave usar a combinação de trabalho, contração, relaxamento ou expansão neste esquema de aula como método de auto-desenvolvimento. Aqui estamos trabalhando para equilibrar as coisas. Lados, hemisférios, extremos, órgãos, glândulas, elementos e energias vão entrar em equilíbrio, que é o nosso trabalho, motivação e dedicação de tempo. Quanto mais esse tipo de prática ou esquema for utilizado, mais equilíbrio pode ser produzido, experimentado e desfrutado.
Após um desafio pequeno de abdominais, entramos em uma relaxamento mais profundo em Yoga Nidra, onde novamente, a respiração marcará presença importante como ferramenta a ser usada para estar presente como a respiração é, e treinar nossa habilidade de visualização. Viajamos da parte inferior até as partes mais baixas do corpo, começando pelos dedos dos pés, indo para as pernas, abdômen e órgãos, cabeça e rosto, relaxando cada detalhe e deixando ir com a expiração, que é não merecida e desnecessária.
Finalizamos com uma breve sessão de meditação respiratória, seguida de um tempo e espaço para gratidão. Deixe ir e diga adeus!
Ficarei feliz em te ver lá.

In that workshop, we work with the passive Yin energy by holding postures for relaxation for 4 to 5 minutes, between posture, we perform some technics to improve the effectiveness of the asana, which is the Yang characteristic of this practice. By doing so, we are setup the body, to be more receptive in the passive state.
This is a classical 2h Workshop, starting with breath work (Pranayama), going into the flow of Asanas, letting go the body in a passive state. Relaxation (Yoga Nidra) before end the class, and a final closure with the practice of the Om mantra recitation, a short appreciation to the practice, and thankfulness.
Yin-Yang, is a practice for increases your blood flow, and lowering the risk of heart attack, better respiration, improvement of bones health, regulation of adrenal glands, and boost the immunity system.
We do a few rounds of Surya namaskar too, we meditate most of the time lying down on the mat, we use stillness for concentration purposes. Actions like bandhas and particular pranayamas done during these classes are also Yang practices form. According to the level of each participant, particular pranayama can be recommendable, classes schema can be adopted to a particular need, if so I see.
The body needs relaxations as actions is needed, muscles can only relax and contract, the entire body must to be used, diversity in movements, asanas, relaxation postures, and meditation is key to a balanced flow of energy. As much a body is balanced, more the elements are balanced, more that person is near his or her nature. More you use your body to relax and to be active, the more the body performs its natural function.
There is time for all in this classe, to just be and feel joy, as well to do some movement and feel yourself whats ever comes. Feelings are impermanent and whats ever is so, will change from moment to moment according our habitual tendencies. That changes, are our object of attention during this practice as well, to observe how things changes in ourselves, like our body, has been changing through all the years, from the beginning till the end of the practice.
In Yoga, the asana practice has as goal, setup the body in pliable condition, to support the mind be focused in a single object, to seek samadhi, the single point concrentration meditation. For that reason, one needs to perform a long period of time in a particular postures, because of that many benefits become fruits of those practices. We should consider more the practice if we want more results, we do wanna be flexible, youth, strong, for that we need to practice accordingly.
In Yin Yoga we choose the more relaxed and use to put the body static and stable, to perform the 5min of practice in each side or posture, we can use the same amount of time or shorter like 2 or 3min, to a particular postures which require some action, or some breath exercise which will be also done with body movement, after this relax again in on postures, totally passive and allow the body and mind get the benefits of the switch.
Yin Yoga allow us to solve tensions and increasing body ability, we give time to fascia the works to a gradually and deeper work in the deep tissues. This optimize the energy flow in our bodies and allow as well to access these energies, with visualization and imagination. Perfection and mastering the posture is the method we use to balance and self-development during this workshop.
Here we are going to plug into Telluric and Cosmic energy to recharging our being with all the best intentions and authentic motivations, to keep life in balance and continuously develop ourselves.
knowledge about the Chakras System or previous practices using the Chakras is not required, but useful for knows how to use it.
in that workshop very often I use breathing meditation, the reason for using the breath as the object of meditation, is because the breath is always there, present within all of us, all the time, everywhere. Focus on the breath has enormous benefits, like increase the breath capacity, calming the mind and establish a connection with the subtle energetical body.
The meditation in the 5 senses are done when this workshop can take longer than 2h, at least 30min is required for this purpose. Let me speak in advance with the participants and see if this is wished.

Ever since I was a small boy, I have been fascinated by the colors and flavors of food and the results of different taste combinations. My grandmother used to collect herbs from our neighbors for various purposes, which gave me a small impression of how nature is essential to daily life and health.
