Merudan e i 5 tibetani

5 Tibetan Rites

First move from tadasana
With the feet well planted on the ground as if they could grow roots, I spread my arms at shoulder height and I relax them.
Slowly I start turning on myself in clockwise direction,
trying to always stay in the same point, from 7 to a maximum of 21 times
If my head starts spinning because I was too fast, or maybe I turned too many times
I press the third eye to make it go away
And I stay in tadasana the time of some breathing and listen.

i 5 tibetani
primo movimento da tadasana
con i piedi ben radicati in terra come se potessero mettere radici, apro le braccia all'altezza delle spalle e le rilasso.
lentamente inizio a girare su me stesso in senso orario,
cercando di restare sempre nello stesso punto da un minimo di 7 a un massimo di 21 volte
se mi gira la testa sono andato troppo veloce o forse ho fatto troppi giri
premo il terzo occhio per farlo passare
e resto in tadasana per qualche respiro ad ascoltare

la vera forza

trad. in Engl.
The True Strength
Moving forward in the yoga practice the asana become more complicated
sometimes we try to use only the physical strength
some other time, instead, we immediately give up saying "I won't be able to do it"
some other time we just rely on concentration
but yoga is union and by unifying our yoga ways to be
we will be able to do incredible things.

acqua meravigliosa acqua...

trad. in Engl.
Water, wonderful water

With water you can:
play
travel
drink or eat
but before everything else
love it, respect it, and preserve it
Source of life, it's our wealth
our legacy, our responsibility
towards those who will come...

Thinking about the holidays

Thinking about the holidays
By going on holiday we can find
many things: a new love
places where we can find ourselves
alone or in good company
familiar or unknown places
good food and some cheerfulness
but there's something we
don't need to look for because we
can always bring it with us: Yoga!

Chocolate easter bear - Orso di Cioccolata

- è un uovo di Pasqua a forma di orso...
o Merudan che ha mangiato troppa cioccolata???

- it is an Easter egg in the shape of bear…
or Merudan that has eaten too much chocolate?


HAPPY EASTER!!!

Parlando di flessibilità - Talking about flexibility

Talking about flexibility

When we talk about yoga,
we talk about flexibility...
with a tendency to immediately
think about the body though,
pulling, pushing and forcing it
while trying to make it flexible!
forgetting that often the one
to be tense, blocked or closed
is our mind...not the body,
and it's to her that we need
to confide in to let go

maybe BEFORE practicing asana!!!!

Ad ognuno la sua immagine - Everybody has its own image

Everybody has its own image

A fundamental part of yoga
Are visualizations
We can practice them everywhere,
at home, in the office, and obviously
during a lesson!
Sit comfortably, close your eyes
and slow your breathing
Let your mind go to a place
you love, where you feel happy
and in peace,
picture the sounds, the smells,
the colours and now
let this image take shape…

=^_____^=

Perfezione nell'imperfezione:

Perfection from imperfection:
While practicing yoga I happened to see many pictures representing a perfect asana
(maybe even from the pupil on the mat opposite me)
How often it pushed me to do the same thing, with determination
And commitment like the one of olimpics athletes
To the point of going beyond my own abilities...
My true abilities!!
Forcing me eventually to a break where I had the chance to revise my idea of yoga
Reminding me that yoga is first of all sincere listening and that perfect practice is the one that always makes me feel good!

shhht...bear in hibernation!!!

eh, it's cold, there's so many things to do and Merudan, being a lazy bear, went into hybernation... we will meet him again during the springtime when the first flowers blossom!

Shhht...orso in letargo!
ehhh...fa freddo, ci sono troppe cose da fare e Merudan è giustamente un orso pigro, e così s'è messo in letargo...lo rivedremo a primavera con i primi fiorellini! =^__^=
