Ashtanga Yoga at Yoga and Karate Akademie - Saarbrücken: 21 Januar to 22 Januar 2006

Study the mind and body workout Madonna and Sting swear on with one of the most advanced Ashtanga Yoga practitioners of Germany.

The strong breath rhythm and dynamic flow of movement in Ashtanga inherits a magic, which fascinates the viewer highly. Automatically the breath flows synchronously with the dänzlike wavy movements of the practice.

As a medical Doctor and Ashtanga instructor Arjuna - Ronald Steiner estimates above all the connection of cardio and muscle training in this ancient movement art. "Ashtanga shapes and forms forms the figure like hardly another sport and develops at the same time mobility and coordination. Thus it is suitable for both, fitness training and as a complement to other kinds of sport."

Ashtanga builds up from a simple fundament and so is easy learn able for everyone. But depending on the individual motivation it can lead step by step to acrobatic arm balancing variations. So with time an amazing body control develops. For an advanced Ashtanga Yogi the laws of gravitation seem suspended. "Gravitation is for all the same. The only question is whether it works for you or against you", laughs Arjuna.

However Ashtanga strengthens not only the body but helps you correct breathing techniques to calm the mind and to resort on an internal strength far beyond muscular power. - however, Arjuna adds with a smirk, lots of practice and sweat is necessary for this.
