Repost from @yogaforlifeph Are you ready for the return of our face-to-face Ashtanga classes? (We aren't either, but we'll make it work. 😅) We're excited to have Patrick return and teach a led, half-primary Ashtanga class in a new location in Makati - Sunshine Place Seniors Recreation Center. The space is along Jupiter Street, a short walk away from Buendia MRT station. See you there! . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogini #yogamen #yogadudes #yogainspiration #yogalove #yogaeverydamnday #yogaformen #yogaforlife #pinoygram #yogamanila #yogaph #yogaeverywhere #ashtanga #ashtangi #ashtangayoga #primaryseries #fit #boysofyoga #grammerph #igersmanila #yogaclass #yogaphilippines #positiveliving #communityclass #igyoga #instayoga #madaboutyoga #fitspo (at Sunshine Place: Senior Recreation Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoysIbhPU05/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I read a sad piece article a few weeks ago about how hard it is to make real friends as an adult, but that actually runs counter to my experience, largely thanks to yoga. I’ve made many permanent friends in almost a decade that I have been practicing, my yearly trips to Mysore, classes that I conduct, and just hanging out at the studio. These aren’t “situational friends,” either, but people with whom I can have deep discussions, if the need for such a thing actually ever manifests. Adulthood places limitations on your social life, but yoga can remove them. . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogamen #yogadudes #yogalove #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogaforlife #yogaformen #mensyoga #boysofyoga #yogaph #yogamanila #yogaphilippines #igersmanila #intermediateseries #ashtanga #ashtangi #ashtangayoga #suptavajrasana #backbends #grammerph #pinoygram #fit #fitspo #strong #madaboutyoga #igyoga #instayoga #yogaeverywhere (at Siargao Island Philippines) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch11FqHJ7_8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The real commitment in yoga is to ourselves. We have to learn to believe in ourselves and our own sense of worthiness. So long as we judge ourselves by outside standards we'll always fail. But as soon as we reframe and refocus our sense of self-worth in the eyes of spirit we'll see that our true worth is inherent and inviolable and it lives in the spirit. The material world is ever changing and impermanent and our bodies live in the material world. But the truth of the spirit is eternal, changeless and permanent. As we commit to taking the practice just into our lives with as little as five minutes a day, we will feel the essential nature of our spirit infusing every moment of our lives, the light will start to shine through in all places the places where we feel the most broken. Happy International Day of Yoga! I will be forever grateful that I have found this beautiful practice! 🙏💙 . . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogamen #yogadudes #yogalove #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogaformen #yogaforlife #boysofyoga #mensyoga #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #ashtangi #sthirabhaga #skandasana #legbehindthehead #internationaldayofyoga #yogamanila #yogaph #yogaphilippines #grammerph #igersmanila #fit #fitspo #pinoygram #feeltheyogahigh #igyoga #instayoga #madaboutyoga (at Ashtanga Yoga Manila) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfEBLAOJKxe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Like all meaningful relationships that survive and flourish throughout the years, that of a teacher-student needs care, time and devotion from both sides. In that case, wonders happen that can change one’s life. . . . . . #yoga #yogamen #yogadudes #yogalove #yogainsipiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogaformen #yogaforlife #boysofyoga #mensyoga #yogateacher #ashtangateacher #yogaph #yogaphilippines #yogamanila #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #ashtangi #vrischikasana #scorpionhandstand #traditional #adjustment #igersmanila #fit #fitspo #ashtangamanila #igyoga #instayoga #madaboutyoga #mysorestyle (at Ashtanga Yoga Manila) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmbRm1rPfsi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

For me, the very definition of a teacher is to be dedicated and consistent in conduct and in judgement. A certain firmness in belief, and clear perspective is essential. A student must feel reassured that, us, as a teacher, we have a clear idea of what we are about and how this manifest in our teachings. Whether the students agree with all of it or not, they will ulitimately respect us for it. Another reason why humility is always of paramount importance to be cultivated in our own practice. Hopefully, it will also serve to inform our teaching. Join our daily Morning Mysore class at @sunshineplaceph from Mondays-Fridays 6.00am-8.00am and our Saturday Led 7.00am-8.00am. 🙏 . . . . . . #yoga #yogamen #yogadudes #yogalove #yogainsipiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogaformen #yogaforlife #boysofyoga #mensyoga #yogateacher #ashtangateacher #yogaph #yogaphilippines #yogamanila #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #ashtangi #kapotasana #traditional #adjustment #igersmanila #fit #fitspo #ashtangamanila #igyoga #instayoga #madaboutyoga #mysorestyle #mysoremornings (at Ashtanga Yoga Manila) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch6y_PNOR-H/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Anything done repeatedly over a long period of time has the potential to get boring, route and mundane. One of the main reasons why the initial glow of the romance period of yoga fades is because the practice has actually managed to sink down and penetrate a deep layer of consciousness. At this stage boredom is actually an obstacle to spiritual growth not just an annoying thing to face each day on the mat. If we have the courage to move through it just on the other side of boredom is deep and lasting peace, unity with ourselves and the strength and determination to live with integrity. Boredom is an important maturing phase of the journey inward and one that is only experienced by a practitioner who has already committed themselves to the daily practice. . . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogamen #yogadudes #yogalove #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogaforlife #yogaformen #mensyoga #boysofyoga #yogaph #yogamanila #yogaphilippines #igersmanila #intermediateseries #ashtanga #ashtangi #ashtangayoga #pinchamayurasana #armbalance #grammerph #pinoygram #fit #fitspo #strong #madaboutyoga #igyoga #instayoga #yogaeverywhere (at Ashtanga Yoga Manila) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgmN8tgPCh8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We are all in our own processes of transition, release and surrender, yet in the midst of such intensity there is a reflection of hope amidst a sea of doubt and disbelief. We will see in the world what we have cultivated within ourselves. Yoga teaches us to have faith in our own ability to change and grow, to know and evolve our own values and literally to become the change we want to see in the world. Accordingly what change we can believe in is a direct reflection of our own strength and grace. . . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogamen #yogadudes #yogalove #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogaforlife #yogaformen #mensyoga #boysofyoga #yogaph #yogamanila #yogaphilippines #igersmanila #intermediateseries #ashtanga #ashtangi #ashtangayoga #yoganidrasana #change #grammerph #pinoygram #fit #fitspo #legbehindthehead #madaboutyoga #igyoga #instayoga #yogaeverywhere (at Ashtanga Yoga Manila) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgPPuWWv4CF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

There are days when we feel super demotivated, uninspired and whine a lot in our daily practice but remembering why we practice is usally all we need to get us to actually do it, be it whatever reason we have. And the next time we're just about to hit the snooze button 20x in our phone alarms in the morning or feast on a buffet in the evening instead of going to practice we can remember the reasons and intentions why we really practice. Maybe it will help us to get on our mat and maybe it won’t but it’s worth a try, isn't it? Some days we need every trick in the book to get us to roll out that mat, or even go to the shala but we all know that we have never, ever regretted doing it. So what I can say if you need extra motivation, or even to trick yourself into practicing, on any particular day then do whatever it takes. ✌😉 . . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogamen #yogadudes #yogalove #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogaforlife #yogaformen #mensyoga #boysofyoga #yogaph #yogamanila #yogaphilippines #igersmanila #intermediateseries #ashtanga #ashtangi #ashtangayoga #pasasana #motivation #grammerph #pinoygram #fit #fitspo #incorrectmethod #madaboutyoga #igyoga #instayoga #yogaeverywhere (at Ashtanga Yoga Manila) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8rMQp_H88B/?igshid=14layqoick9yn

There is no easy way to say this but the reality is that the Ashtanga Yoga Method is really hard. The longer we practice the more we forget what a marathon the Primary Series really is. For total yoga beginners this can seem totally dreadful and defeating. The Ashtanga Yoga Method is meant not to be easy on the first try. This is one of the lessons in the practice. Instead of making the method easy, the practice asks us to make our mind and thinking strong. If we accept our failures and learn to love ourselves anyway, then we are practicing a valuable skill. . . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogamen #yogadudes #yogalove #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogaformen #yogaforlife #boysofyoga #mensyoga #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #ashtangi #primaryseries #bridgepose #setubandhasana #backbend #yogamanila #yogaph #yogaphilippines #grammerph #igersmanila #fit #fitspo #pinoygram #feeltheyogahigh #igyoga #instayoga #madaboutyoga (at Ashtanga Yoga Manila) https://www.instagram.com/p/B83XygznCc2/?igshid=1akeld140f0ex

Guru is the creator Brahma, Guru is the preserver Vishnu, Guru is the destroyer Shiva. Guru is directly the supreme spirit — I offer my salutations to this Guru.

The moment we have time for ourselves and our practice is a message to ourselves and to the world that we will not be second place in our own lives. We know our importance in the world and we have chosen to be an active participant. We will not be lazy about how we use our energies. We will be powerful and masterful in the use of our energies. We are willing to live to our highest potential and do the greatest good for the world. . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogamen #yogadudes #yogalove #yogainsipiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogaformen #yogaforlife #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #ashtangi #mensyoga #boysofyoga #sthirabhaga #advanceda #kasyapasana #legbehindthehead #yogamanila #yogastrong #yogaph #yogaphilippines #igersmanila #grammersph #pinoygram #instayoga #igyoga #madaboutyoga #fitspo #wellness (at Ashtanga Yoga Manila) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4ka29oHMqk/?igshid=sy43mcvitkb7

Emotions are teachers and they themselves have a short lifespan. Emotions only last longer because we reprocess and repeat scenarios which recreate the same response over and over again. Feeling and processing our emotions is not the same as retelling the same story over and over again. Emotional maturity and truly enlightened self-awareness comes from being fully present to our emotions, both the good and the bad. There is a delicate line between allowing our emotions to rule our life and suppressing our emotions. It’s like the practice, we are not there to perfect the asana, we are there to feel our whole body. In life, we're not here to only feel happiness forevermore. We are here to feel everything and learn from all our experiences. . . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogamen #yogadudes #yogalove #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogaformen #yogaforlife #boysofyoga #mensyoga #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #ashtangi #intermediateseries #parighasana #yogaph #yogaphilippines #yogamanila #igersmanila #fit #grammerph #pinoygram #igyoga #instayoga #mysorestyle #madaboutyoga #yogaeverywhere #feeltheyogahigh #twist https://www.instagram.com/p/B3ZG2voH8Qc/?igshid=alele0d6m8yt

Primary Series or Yoga Chikitsa strengthens and purifies the body. In this series we are introduced to the third limb of the eight limbs of the Ashtanga Yoga Method which is asana or posture. The postures will later serve us as a tool to discover what lies within the body. Yoga Chikitsa teaches us about discipline, commitment, and faith. The postures in this series serve as a tool to make the body flexible and supple. It is only with continuous and devoted practice over a long period of time that we slowly begin to feel the effects of this beautiful practice. The body becomes strong, the mind steady and we enter the state of meditation. Yesterday we celebrated the International Day of Yoga and I am truly grateful that i have discovered this method! 💙🙏 . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogamen #yogadudes #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogalove #yogaforlife #yogaformen #boysofyoga #mensyoga #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #ashtangi #marichyasana #primaryseries #igersmanila #yogaph #yogaphilippines #yogamanila #grammerph #pinoygram #yogaeverywhere #feeltheyogahigh #fit #fitspo #igyoga #instayoga #strong #internationaldayofyoga (at Ashtanga Yoga Manila) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzAD96Jn2Id/?igshid=903134nipmlo

Intermediate Series or Nadhi Shoddana purifies our nervous system. It helps us to bring prana to areas of the body that have been locked up, closed down and maybe even forgotten. The postures of Nadhi Shoddana take us deep into the darkest corners of our being and they challenge us to be faced with what lies stagnant in our hearts and along our spine. When our mind which has been tossed about by conflicting opinions become still and centered in equilibrium then we experience yoga. The postures of Second Series take us away from our center so that we may redefine it from within.
