Ashtanga Yoga mit Selime

Description yoga

About me:
I have been practicing Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga since 2008. I came to Ashtanga almost straight away through my first teacher and stuck with it. In 2011 I completed the American Yoga Alliance (RYT) training with Paul Dallaghan (Centered Yoga, Thailand) with a focus on Ashtanga Yoga and since then I have been teaching Ashtanga, and occasionally Vinyasa Flow.
My main job is as a human resources developer in Neckarsulm, but I live in Stuttgart.
For me, yoga means getting to know yourself anew every day. The mat offers a protected “laboratory” that can (and should!) be used for introspection and experimentation. You certainly don't become a new person overnight, but - in my experience - your perspective slowly but surely changes and you approach the world more consciously, more reflectively.
My lessons:
For me, it's important to always approach something (not just asanas!) with a good dose of fun and humor, even if it's a system like Ashtanga Yoga that - at first glance - seems very “strict”. The important thing is not to think so much, but to just do it. Don't take yourself too seriously and laugh internally when something doesn't work out the way it says in the textbook. I hope to be able to convey this in my teaching as well. What is important is not how flexible or “good” (that doesn't exist in yoga) you are, but rather your inner attitude when practicing. My lessons are also suitable for beginners.
For anyone who is wondering what Ashtanga Yoga actually is, here is an attempt to explain it (although the best way to understand it is with a trial lesson):
Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is a traditional yoga style that dates back to Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, India. Even though “Guruji” is no longer alive today, the Ashtanga tradition is still maintained. Because the same sequence of asanas (positions) is always practiced, Ashtanga Yoga is practiced in the same way worldwide.
In addition to the breath with which the movement is synchronized, the focus is placed on the bandhas (energy locks) and drishti (points of view) so that the practice becomes focused and flowing over time. Even though Ashtanga yoga is physically demanding, it is suitable for all ages because you can adapt your practice to your abilities. This requires a high degree of mindfulness towards your own body.
See you soon on the mat!

Frequently asked Questions:
1) How much does it cost?
Ten ticket: €140
Trial lesson: €10
2) Can I do a trial lesson? --> Of course :-)
3) What do I need to bring with me? --> Comfortable, stretchy clothing. If you sweat quickly, don't use too much material. It's best to bring a small towel with you. Practice is barefoot. At the end there is a 10 to 15 minute final relaxation, during which the body can cool down relatively quickly. It is therefore advisable to bring something to cover yourself with. Mats are available in the studio. Of course, if you have your own mat, it's always best to bring your own :-)
4) Do I need previous knowledge? --> No, unless it is explicitly mentioned in the course name. Ashtanga yoga is not suitable for pregnant women WITHOUT previous knowledge. Please inform me in advance of any injuries, illnesses, etc. so that I can take them into account.
5) Is it tiring? --> Hopefully :-)
If you have any other questions, just write to me :-)
