Sensit Yoga | LIVE Virtual

Miltos Pavlou — Thu, 22 Aug 2019 08:44:00 GMT

Join now the LIVE Yoga Session!

In these LIVE sessions Maja guides you into the Sensit Yoga somatic exploration - a practice of body-mind integration through mindful movement, sound and observation. It involves listening and feeling ourselves on a deeper level and discovering our inner sources of healing and strength. The healing of body-mind happens through a cultivation of gentle and supportive inner relationship, listening to our body, and being guided by its wisdom. In these meetings we explore the workings of our body and mind through a direct experience of our bones, muscles, fascia, organs, glands and the ever-changing states of our nervous system.

It is advisable that you have a good internet connection, microphone and a camera.

Η Μaja Ζilih, ιδρύτρια του Athens Yoga, του Sensit Yoga και της Maya Yoga™, είναι δασκάλα και εκπαιδεύτρια δασκάλων γιόγκα, αφοσιωμένη στην αναζήτηση των τρόπων που η γιόγκα μπορεί να δράσει θεραπευτικά πάνω στις ανθρώπινες σχέσεις της σύγχρονης καθημερινότητας, και να συμβάλλει στην συναισθηματική ωρίμανση και την πνευματική εξέλιξη του ανθρώπου. Η ζωή και η διδασκαλία της Maja είναι αφιερωμένες στη σύνδεση με τους ανθρώπους με δέσμευση και φροντίδα, προσφέροντας τη σοφία της yoga με τρόπο που σέβεται τις ανάγκες κάθε ατόμου, προσκαλώντας τους την ίδια στιγμή να ξεδιπλώσουν το πλήρες και πραγματικό δυναμικό τους.

Η διδασκαλία της ενσωματώνει διαφορετικά στυλ γιόγκα, καθώς

- συνδυάζει τη δυναμικότητα με μια διαλογιστική προσέγγιση στις στάσεις,
- συνδέει την κίνηση με την εσωτερική επίγνωση, και
- εμπνέει πάντα τους μαθητές ώστε να ακολουθούν τη γιόγκα σαν τρόπο ζωής.

Στις αρχές της δεκαετίας του ’90 το ενδιαφέρον της Maja για την ψυχολογία και πνευματικότητα την οδήγησε να ξεκινήσειςι να ασκεί την πρακτική γιόγκα και διαλογισμού. Μέχρι σήμερα έχει σπουδάσει γιόγκα και διαλογισμό με παγκοσμίως γνωστούς δασκάλους όπως τους Chris Chavez, Carlos Pomeda, Desiree Rumbaugh, John Friend, Sue Elkind (εξιδείκευση στην Yoga για εγκύους), Rusty Wells (Bhakti Flow), Ανατομία της Hatha Yoga με τους Jordan και Martin Kirk, Principle based Partner Yoga με την Elysabeth Williamson, Yoga των Τσάκρας και Raja Yoga με τις Swami Nirvikalpa και Swami Bhajananada, και άλλα. Επίσης έχει εκπαιδευτεί στην Primal Integration Ψυχοθεραπεία στο Οντάριο του Καναδά

Σήμερα η Maja έχει πέρισσότερες από 500 ώρες επίσιμης εκπαίδευσης για δασκάλους στην Χάθα, Anusara, Jivamukti, γιόγκα για εγκύους και άλλα. Κατέχει διεθνή πιστοποίηση Yoga Alliance, και δίπλωμα Anusara-inspired.

Οι Πανεπιστημιακές της σπουδές περιλαμβάνουν:

- Οικονομία και Κοινωνικές Επιστήμες στο Εθνικό Καποδιστριακό Πανεπιστήμιο Αθηνών και στο Βρετανικό Open University, αντίστοιχα.
- Μεταπτυχιακό Δίπλωμα στις Πολιτικές Επιστήμες στο Εθνικό Καποδιστριακό Πανεπιστήμιο Αθηνών με πτυχιακή εργασία:
"Conflict transformation in the Balkans by non-violent means and grass-root peacebuilding"

H Maja απασχολείται επίσης σε προγράμματα και δραστηριότητες προαγωγής της ίσης μεταχείρισης και των δικαιωμάτων του ανθρώπου. Οργανώνει τακτικά events φιλανθρωπικού χαρακτήρα για τη στίρηξη προσφύγων, γυναικών στις φυλακές και άλλων ευαίσθητων ομάδων.

Η σημείωση της Maja:
Η συνεχής πρακτική της γιόγκα εμπλουτίζει τη ζωή μου με γνώση και χαρά.

Αντλώ έμπνευση από όλους τους μαθητές και τους δασκάλους με τους οποίους έχω την τύχη να περπατώ μαζί σ’αυτό το μονοπάτι πνευματικής αναζήτησης και προσωπικής ανάπτυξης. Είμαι βαθιά ευγνώμων προς όλους τους δασκάλους που μοιράστηκαν μαζί μου τη γνώση της γιόγκα. Η σοφία, η καθοδήγηση και η μακροχρόνια υποστήριξή τους υπήρξε σημαντική για τη ζωή μου, τόσο ως δασκάλα όσο και ως άνθρωπο.

Η αφοσίωσή μου στη γιόγκα υπερβαίνει κατά πολύ τη μιάμιση ώρα της πρακτικής. Πιστεύω ότι ζώντας τη γιόγκα στην καθημερινότητα οι άνθρωποι σε όλον τον πλανήτη βρίσκονται στην οδό του μετασχηματισμού της ζωής τους, προς την αφύπνιση. Αυτές οι μεταβολές συντελούνται σε ατομικό, συλλογικό και παγκόσμιο επίπεδο. Η Γιόγκα είναι πάνω απ' όλα πνευματική πρακτική, η οποία μας απελευθερώνει από διάφορους νοητικούς προγραμματισμούς και μας συνδέει με την καρδιά. Είναι η πρακτική η οποία μας ανοίγει στο πνευματικό μας δυναμικό, το οποίο δεν είναι άλλο από την πλήρη επίγνωση της ενότητας, της υπηρέτησης, της βαθιάς γνήσιας αγάπης

Namaste!

Yoga for Scoliosis Part 1 and Part 2 with Elise Browning Miller

Miltos Pavlou — Wed, 30 Aug 2017 10:25:00 GMT

Elise Miller presents her internationally acclaimed workshop on working with scoliosis. This 20 hour workshop is designed to present information and experience in the ways that Iyengar Yoga can be used to meet the challenges of scoliosis. We will include ananatomical background on scoliosis, identify each participant’s scoliosis, and discuss cause and effect as well as psychological consequences of scoliosis.

Participants will learn optimal yoga postures for scoliosis as well as how to adapt specific yoga postures to their scoliosis. By combining the yoga postures with breathing awareness, one can develop more structural alignment of the body and become more symmetrical and balanced. Through yoga, one can find the balance point that allows the scoliosis curve to coexist with gravity and activates the body’s natural plumb line. The workshop will progress from beginning to more intermediate poses.

Morning Hatha Yoga-All levels*

Mariatina Kotsali — Tue, 07 Feb 2017 14:40:00 GMT

The word yoga comes from the Sanskrit root 'yuj', which means' connect, join, concentrate my attention. The word hatha yoga comes from the Sanskrit words "ha" ("means moon") and "tha" (meaning "sun"). More specifically, the exercise of discipline of the mind, the mind, the emotions, the will to foster a balanced psychic world, which enables the practitioner to be fully in all aspects of life. When we practice yoga, we focus on the breath and movement. This gives our gratitude and serenity feelings which we experience after we finish practice.

With practice in the morning, we help ourselves to remain more calm and focused for a long time in the day. And so we are more ready to recognize the good things that happen. Establishing a morning habit is easier than any other time of day. Think how easily the morning coffee became a habit in your life. Yoga, and generally exercise, in the morning, helps metabolism, as it begins with action and burning. The morning yoga warms and prepares the physical body in order to avoid injuries in the day. It is good for the heart, reducing the pressure and cholesterol. Strengthens bones and joints, and increases blood circulation.
