Gloria老师谈瑜伽教学和修习精华选摘

“Yogacha Chitta Vritti Ninodaha”

它的含义是：瑜伽就是头脑波动的止歇

那么这个就是Patanjalim对瑜伽的定义

也就是我们所教授的瑜伽

这是瑜伽的目的

就是让你这个头脑的波动停下来

这样才能够看到到底发生着什么

“Yogacha Chitta Vritti Ninodaha” means Yoga is the brain wave’s stopping point. That is the definition for Yoga from Patanjalim, which is also what we teach. The goal of Yoga is to slow down your brainwave, which allow us to see what’s really happening.

瑜伽是个体的灵魂、小我和至高的我的联结

这是宇宙学的概念

Guruji不断提醒我们

所有的体式习练、呼吸控制法的习练

还有不同类型的冥想

都是不断的在加深自我认知

所以它是自我认知的一项科学

Yoga is a joint of our soul, personal ego, and the unlimited, eternal, higher self, a concept from Cosmology’s theory. Guruji kept reminding us of all of the postures, breathing practices and various meditation techniques, all of which leads to continuously in-depth self-awareness. That is why Yoga is a science of awakening self-awareness.

在接触纠正学生的时候要非常小心

只需要去碰触那些需要碰触的人

不要毫无意义、毫无缘故的去接触别人

Please be careful correcting student, only touch the students who require to be corrected. Don’t touch others without reasoning.

对初学者必需一遍又一遍的讲

你要重复

我们不需要创造成千上万的体式

因为瑜伽练习的最终目标就是冥想

你得给他们时间

让他们进入到那个空间里面

Facing beginners, must repeat over and over again. You must repeat. We are not making up thousands of poses, because the final goal of Yoga practice is meditation, you need to give them time to grow. 

作为老师

给出了第一个指令

那么这个指令就要一语中的

As a teacher, when an instruction is given out, then this instruction must be right on the point.

指令源于你观察到的现象

帮助学生达到坚定并保持体式

一旦完成

您可以附加指令进一步教学

Instruction should start from your observation and help the student reaching firmness and stay within the pose. Once accomplished, you can give additional instructions to further the teaching.

内在的身体稳定而安静

身体在外就找到它的自由

凝视点向内向下

让胸腔充满觉知

Only when internal is firm and calm, external body can reach its freedom. Focus your attention toward inside and downward, let your chest fill up with awareness.

有时候呼吸是被动的状态

它在你不注意到它的时候发生了

在大脑中形成的念头和记忆

更进一步去干扰到了呼吸

那么所有这一切应该被你见证

只有这样才有可能正确的引导呼吸

Sometime breathing becomes passive and it happens without awareness. Thoughts and memory in your mind further disturb it. All this should be witnessed, so you can guide it properly.

你教授的点

不仅是身体层面的正位

因为这些细节

在长时间的一个范畴内

它能把你带到体式中的冥想状态

因为你的头脑、呼吸

也需要帮助你在体式当中停留

The benefit of yoga guidance reaches beyond of body alighment, paying attention to these details overtime will bring you into the meditation stage. Your mind and breathing also will help you stay within the pose.

瑜伽的习练是让灵魂找到居所

你也要用这个方法去帮助你的学生

Practicing Yoga is to let the soul find where it belongs, and you should also guide your students this way.

如果贪婪，就会引发暴力

Yama、Niyama都最终会归到暴力上面去

Greedy will eventually lead to violence. In fact, breach any of the disciplines in Yama, Niyama will lead to violence as well.

当你念出梵文体式名称时

脑海里形成那个体式的形式

当你做体式演示时

就好像播下了种子

当你讲授的时候

这个种子就会播出枝桠来

When you are pronouncing a yoga pose name in Sanskrit, your mind should be able to visualize the pose. When you are demonstrating the pose, a seed is being planted in the mind. When you are teaching the pose, now the seed will further grow out branches.
