About<\/h2><\/span><\/div>[vc_custom_heading text=”David Swenson began practicing yoga in 1969 at the age of 13. His older brother Doug was his first teacher. They practiced hatha yoga from whatever books they could find. David’s introduction to Ashtanga came in 1973 when he met David Williams and Nancy Gilgoff in Encinitas, California. In 1975 David and Nancy brought K. Pattabhi Jois to the U.S. for the first time and Swenson was fortunate enough to be there. Swenson made his first trip to Mysore in 1977. He is one of a very small number of people that have learned the full Ashtanga system as it was originally taught by K. Pattabhi Jois. David Swenson is recognized today as one of the world\u2019s foremost practitioners and instructors of Ashtanga Yoga. David has produced 5 DVD\u2019s and is the author of the highly popular and bestselling yoga book: Ashtanga Yoga \u201cThe Practice Manual\u201d that has been printed in 10 different languages and sold internationally.<\/p>\n

In Janauary 2025, he was invited to join the Asian Art Association Singapore (Yoga).” font_container=”tag:p|font_size:14px|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1550246777851{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}” el_id=”myworks”][vc_column color_style=”light” width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1578637111051{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-right: 10% !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;padding-left: 10% !important;background-color: #000000 !important;}”]

Ashtanga in my eyes<\/h2><\/span><\/div>[vc_custom_heading text=”Ashtanga means eight-limbs, and it\u2019s a philosophical way of viewing life. It\u2019s also a method of yoga practice that involves five things: Ujjayi breath, which means sound-breathing\u2014it sounds a bit like Darth Vader. It keeps you focused. We listen to our own breath as a barometer of how our practice is going. If it\u2019s shallow I know I\u2019m distracted. If it\u2019s harsh I\u2019m pushing too hard.<\/p>\n

We also have a visual point we look at. If you do meditation usually there is a visual point to look at that grounds you, like a candle or a bowl or something. Sort of like a distraction filtration system. There is also an element of moving energy through your body which you could liken to Tai Chi.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s the poses, the asanas themselves. Ashtanga is a specific arrangement of the poses, which I also liken to Tai Chi, because you do the same sequences over and over for your whole life, so it becomes a meditation in motion over the course of your whole life. And there are 6 different levels that we practice with and use these repeated sequences. People say that when you do these six sequences, it\u2019s like spinning the numbers on a safe and the door opens. You methodically open through the muscles of the body. Then there\u2019s the linking of the postures with the breath. This is called vinyasa. Ashtanga has gotten pretty big over the years. Athletes started doing it, celebrities started doing it. Sting, Madonna, Paul Simon, Eddie Vedder. One of the great athletes of all time, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, used to come to my classes in Los Angeles, and he said that it helped him have a greater longevity in his basketball career. It\u2019s funny because I grew up in Texas where sports and jock culture is obviously so important and I never fit in with any of that, but I have a great respect for it.<\/p>\n

Any yoga that uses the word \u201cpower\u201d or \u201cvinyasa\u201d or \u201cflow\u201d has a root from Ashtanga. It doesn\u2019t mean Ashtanga\u2019s better, but it\u2019s the root. Other yoga people used to moving slowly would get very upset by Ashtanga, and say that\u2019s not yoga, you don\u2019t huff and puff and sweat like that.<\/p>\n
