About me

When did you start your activity as power yoga teacher, and why, in which way?

I began as a Power Yoga Teacher after years of teaching Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. I started studying Yoga and Enlightenment when i was 15, and started practicing Ashtanga Yoga when i was 23. I began to evolve my classes away from the traditional Ashtanga System and it then became Power Yoga. Power Yoga is most complete system to address the multi-dimensional aspects of a person. Physical, Mental, Spiritial... power yoga has roots in the Ancient teachings while addressing the modern day human.



Which kind of people do you address your lessons?
All kinds! I love having different kinds of people in the same classes. I love giving variations for more advanced students to express themselves while encouraging beginners to take their time and to work on their core to develop the ability to do some of the more demanding poses over time. My students are very diverse and i love working with individuals to help them realize what they need most and then suggesting the specific means to realize it.

How do you organize your lesson?
Breathing Exercises
Meditation
Warm Ups and Salutations
Standing Poses
Different Sequences Here
Closing Inversions and Back Bends
Savasana
Meditation

Which is the difference in comparison with ashtanga yoga or vinyasa yoga?
Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is usually referred to as 'Ashtanga Yoga' but it is not quite accurate. Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is different than Ashtanga Yoga. Ashtanga means 8 limbs and relates to the 8 Limbs of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Many masters, including myself, consider that what they teach is Ashtanga Yoga because we teach the 8 limbs in our system.
Either way, Ashtanga Vinyasa was developed by Sri K. Pattabi Jois and has him as the guru (he just passed from his body, I am sure you know). Ashtanga has sequences that never vary. Power Yoga is more flexible and can allow some creativity and exploration.

Do power yoga is grounded on?
Eight Limbs of Patanjali, Advaita Vedanta, Natural Living, Sacred Awareness, Gratitude

Do you have any suggestions for a beginner?
Start slow! No hurry. In the beginning the less you do the better. Less is More. This is a lifelong practice!

Simple Rule

In order to feel good, two things are required as a human being. This is physiology. It is required that you exercise very regularly and in my little world that means everyday. And then also, the other side of it is to eat well and when you can combine eating well and exercising, you’re creating an environment for your body and your mind because your mind needs your body to feel really good. So tons of people out there that exercise everyday that do not eat well, and they are not at peace and tons of people who eat very well they don’t exercise and they are not at peace either because if you don’t have them both you don’t have a chance. So to speak, because the body requires what it requires, it’s just basic biology. There are no animals in nature that take days off being themselves. We are made to move. We may not take days off from movement. That’s just the simple rule. So the overview is that, that when you understand what it means to eat well and for the thirty days, we may have more discipline than you may have after thirty days is over.

Water and Salt

Salt and water are related in two different ways and they’re related for two reasons,one is that each of them is required to create the basis for life. One without the other doesn’t allow for life to happen. Each of them has mysterious qualities that are beyond comprehension. Water’s qualities are other-worldly. Just discussing the qualities of water, or appreciating what water does.

Water is unbelievably mystical, remember, water is the reason why life can be. Almost equally as mystical is salt, they’re both crystals. Water is fluid crystalline structure, salt is not. Water is bound chemically, meaning through chemistry, and everything on the planet is bound chemically, meaning through chemistry, whether its in a living form; biochemistry, meaning it’s all connected through living chemical reactions and molecular structures, or inorganic chemistry, meaning rocks and things that are just out in the woods, connected through something’s that’s not alive anymore but it’s still chemistry, it’s still chemical bond. Salt is bound electrically, it’s a whole different thing. Some other crystals, like crystal might also be bound electrically as well, salt is bound electrically.

Avocado

There is little question that the avocado is the most important food for human beings. It is a gift from God that crucial to success on the Raw Food diet and is actually the single most important factor, whether you have an ample supply of avocados or not. The emotionally satisfying aspect of eating heavy and cooked foods lies in its satiation, it feeling of fullness. The avocado provides this in a way that is perfect in every way. By satisfying the need for the sensation of fullness that comes from eating cooked meat, avocados allows a person to have a grounded and strong sense of determination supported by his full belly that is not in craving of anything. The avocado is a miracle. To live in a place where avocados grow like I do in Miami is another miracle. I recommend securing the best supply of avocados that you can find even if it costs, the benefits will ultimately outweigh the costs. This is opposed to the foods that are cheap on the surface and the “benefit” of a full belly at the time of the meal is now not at all outweighing the cost of cancer treatment.

Chakras

Each chakra has a location on the spine, remember, the Chakras do not just vibrate forwards like you see in the picture. You see a picture of a human body and the chakras are always in the front of the body, the chakras are going in all directions. They’re centered in an actual spinal column itself but this is not real, I cannot dissect you and find your third chakra, there’s no way. I can’t pull your third chakra out, it’s subtle anatomy, it’s energetic anatomy, it’s not dissectible stuff, which is the reason why the whole western medicine doesn’t buy it.

Western paradigm says that if I can’t see it then it’s not real, I cannot experiment with it and find it and dissect it and its obviously not real. That’s where they’re disconnected, now there are many medical doctors who are enlightened and intuitive and they’re putting all of it together and that’s great, but the main limitation behind medical paradigm is that need for it to be dissected in a laboratory and verified in order for it to become real in their view of things and as I’ve explained with a cell phone, you don’t see the waves leaving the cell phone and traveling to Europe and coming back, even yet that’s pretty real stuff.

So why did you need to see the evidence, when you’re dealing with energy, you’re never going to see the evidence.
