spent a year there total studying and so i try to follow the form as they taught in india which is what makes the traditional so there's a lineage of teachers who are considered authentic yoga teachers by india standards which is the origin of yoga and so i just try to do it as they showed me which is different than how a lot of yoga in the west is presented in the main difference is the main differences for the most part it's individual practice in a group setting so when a student my tuition for the school is based on a monthly tuition so for the most part students don't come in and just pay for one class like they might at other yoga schools they commit to a month of practice either three or six days a week and when they come in as a new student i show them how to begin and how to end correctly the beginning in the end of the practice is the same for everybody no matter how new or how experienced what evolves is the middle of the practice as you become more competent so new students first day i will teach them one on one maybe ten or fifteen minutes how to begin and how to end we keep doing that until they can do it by rote without a new verbal cue in for me once they have a handle on that and they're somewhat proficient at it then we start adding on to the middle one by one so how long is the for example beginning along with it be five minutes to ten or fifteen minutes and you will be there for a matter of week you know until your body started to respond to the practice ok well practice for most people is an hour and a half maybe a little longer well but it takes a while to get up to that the months if not longer ok now you would mention that you could actually break a sweat and perspiring and yet pretty extensive exercise yes you know it's it's as i mentioned before and we were chatting if you look at yoga from a gentle stretching to a more athletic stamina driven practice scale ashtanga yoga falls on the more athletic driven stamina and at the scale so people who like to work hard and work up a sweat are more attracted to this particular type of yoga and what type of exercise would be a real big exercise it's enrolled back in that the movement is is not too quickly paced you know it's not like running or jogging but it's a sustained movement at a moderate pace which becomes challenging over time in the movement movement itself becomes more complex as you become more experienced things that i have the trouble i have with exercising is i get bored very quickly and i just you know to my yoga what i'd be tempted to get bored or what i'd be i go walk it by that i would be i think you would be so occupied that you wouldn't be bored well the focus of this particular form is is vinyasa which means breathing movement system it's a rough translation and so all the movements are coordinated with the breath we're doing one thing on an inhale and another thing on an exhale and so it really requires a certain amount of concentration to match the breath and the movement consistently over a period of time so it keeps you want to know it's called  ashtanga means eight limbs yes so eight limbed yoga so eight limbs implies eight steps of a philosophy limits of the body it's no you know you could think of it as limbs of a tree right so an eight limb tree would be a visual represent taishan of this particular philosophy now the philosophy is has to do with ethics you know how we behave in the world how we treat ourselves which is postures which of the exercises that we do at the school there are breathing practices which we have cooperate to a certain extent but those get involved in those are potentially hazardous so they're really only for advanced students and then beyond that there are the internal steps which evolve toward meditation and those are thought to be spontaneous for a seasoned practitioner kind of the journey is in word so as we begin the exercises each of us finds a certain amount of resistance to whatever posture it is that gives us resistance and as we break through that resistance automatically we're going deeper inside ourselves you know behind whatever the difficulty is and so the system works that we journey inside until we get to a place that is close to what our true identity is and so it's a long slow evolution evolution to get there but that's the aim of the practice so this eight limb philosophy is all about that you know it's hard to have a clear perspective of on ourselves if we're not behaving correctly in the world because we'll be so caught up in guilt or whatever from not behaving correctly but that said tubby joyce clergy the teacher in india always said interesting what else can you tell me about it you know it's different it's different than most yoga studios in the west and that when you if you come and observe a class and if anyone were interested they could come any time during class timing walk in on an ounce and just sit down and just watch for a few minutes that's a great everyone doing their own thing at their own pace and i'm usually just sitting there observing or helping someone nonverbally moving them into a position they might have difficulty getting into themselves if it's a newer student there will be talk i will be talking them through the practice and instructing them on what to do if you're talking it's not disturbing the you know the practitioner know usually everyone is so involved in what they're doing there you know everyone's acclimated to to this kind of forum in terms of the practice i don't know how many of the students would be or how many of the we're going to be it's a fairly small studio so there's probably twelve maximum although we squeezed more in a times but it's about twelve maximum usually there's about eight to ten practitioners sometimes far fewer to depends on the which class people come to it how many classes during the day of the new warning sessions mid day sessions and then two evening sessions and so a student you know the morning session is from six thirty to eight thirty a m monday through friday a student could come if they're they've been taught and their practice let's say is an hour if that's where they are as an individual if they were coming to the six thirty class they don't have to come at six thirty they exercise the ending exercise of the same for everyone regardless of what level they've achieved yes yes ok in that these each are taking what ten to fifteen minutes each for so minutes for a beginning and ye than ten minutes for the very beginning and maybe ten or fifteen minutes for the very ending what are termed the finishing posterous ok so if if i was to just start i'm going to be there for the middle of a half hour forty minutes something like that probably even less than that even less than the you have the first day ok yeah you know each day would get each week would get progressively yeah depending on you know there's two reasons we would stop one you can't remember the sequence and you do things not quite in the right order or we get to something where there's a lot of difficulty then we stop there we don't necessarily stay there till you can do it perfectly but until you can show some semblance of being able to move toward the correct form of the posture ok show i would learn something new for example practice in july i'm comfortable with that i could do it directly in the right order and in the right order and then i would go to the next step and then i would teach you the next step ok you know sometimes people it depends on the person i try to size up each  student some people i'll tell them when it's time to do the next one some people i'll let them say i think i'm ready for the next thing so do you have been a students that have been coming for both six years that you've been there right now enroll they probably have between twenty five and thirty students i think my longest and student has been has been coming almost the whole time close to five years you know but a lot of people come and go i mean it's a big commitment to practice yoga three or six times a week so some people fall away from it you know some people just after a month don't think it's their cup of tea you know there's no music right there's no real talking so some people like that like you talked about before exercising with their headphones on some people like to have music playing when they practice yoga so if they came to the studio they'd probably find that it doesn't suit them because we don't do that it's just the bird the sound of the breath and the practice that you're doing those are the only things going on in the learning about it you know i will stop by thank you very much with the b be interesting for me interesting for you the blue viewers as well so until the next show i'm angela frenzy and this is the belmont business report we'll talk to you
