My name is Melina I come from Athens-Greece
and this is my story..
Ashtanga Yoga Tutorials
During the last couple of years of COVID-19 seclusion and after the persistent urge from my students, the ideal opportunity finally arose to focus on filming a series of Tutorials dedicated to the Primary Series of the Ashtanga Yoga Practice.The Shala
Ashtanga Yoga Kifisia is a space dedicated to the teaching of the Ashtanga Yoga method, as taught under the lineage of Shri K. Pattabhi Jois and Sharath Jois..
Our Shala is our temple, a place to let go, meditate, re-charge & bloom like early flowers in spring..
Program
Mysore Self Practice is the traditional way in which the Ashtanga practice is taught from teacher to student, in an unbroken lineage from Sri T. Krishnamacharya to now. In a Mysore class every student works to his/her own time & space, according to his/her experience & understanding of the practice.

*MULA BANDHA ACTIVATION*
•
MULA Bandha is not just located on the UTERUS for women, and the BLADDER for men..
•
MULA Bandha in the energy body is also located on the back of the Palm & and the back of the Foot..
•
Connecting those 3 points during practice will eventually connect the center of the body with the Periphery, and the Periphery to the Center..
•
Yoga practice is about connecting the opposite ends of each MOVEMENT , the opposite ends of each BREATH..
•
YOGA IS UNION, and union comes when the 2 ends of both the physical & and the energy body become
ONE & UN-separated..
•
Do you feel this connection during your practice?
Would love to hear..
⚡️💖⭐️

SAPTA INHALE:
Remember to always SET your chest OPEN before the FLEXION that Follows..
.
Always exhale while keeping your Heart & your CHESt wide open..
.
YOGA is about BINDing together the opposite PAIRS of each MOVEMENT & each BREATH..
.
EXTEND while you FLEx..
.
Keep you MULA engaged while you INHALE,
.
Keep your HEART OPEN while you EXhALe..
.
As my beautiful teacher @santa_ashtanga_yoga_ibiza was explaining today in a highly inspirational talk, our practice is all about overcoming Fear & cultivating compassion & Love, while moving the energy from the MuLa to the HeaRT..
.
Each Breath Counts..
.
Each Vinyasa Counts..
.
Each Breath & each Vinyasa is a potential state of MOKSHA..
.
Blessings..
🙏😇⭐️💛⚡️🙏

* It’s all about the CONNECTION between the KNEES & the SHOULDERS..
* the tighter the connection, the greater the outcome will be..
