"It is easy to forget now, how effervescent and free we all felt that summer." Ahimsa is a Sanskrit word that means "non-violence" and it is the foundation of all yogic philosophy. Defined as not having any desire to harm anyone or anything, either physically or psychologically, including ourselves when moving mindfully on our mat.
It is a process of self-control, self-awareness and awareness of everything that is around you. If you harm someone intentionally, even when it is just in thought, you have lost control of your mind and you are in imbalance with yourself. Violence means moving away from your true nature and practicing ahimsa simply means coming closer to who you really are. As we begin to wind down this Summer, bring to light the practice of non-violence beyond the mat. Take note on how you feel when approaching your asana practice and invite more meaningful movement and process self control and be completely aware of what serves you in the moment as we move into the Fall months. HOT IN-PERSON I'll be in-studio for hot classes at New York Yoga and Yoga Spark (Tribeca location) this week... check out their sites for availability and my weekly sessions. For non-heated in-person, LL Studio (Flatiron location) will host my Friday night classes.

"August brings into sharp focus and a furious boil everything I've been listening to in the late spring and summer." It's late summer, so be mindful about your energy depleting and let's continue to find balance on and off the mat.
Since it’s the season of the Earth element and natures’ harvest, make sure to slow down and come back down to earth when moving through your asanas. This will keep us centered, allow us to bask in the fruits from the exploration and growth of spring and summer time. Our flows have emphasized moving energy along the stomach and spleen meridian lines using digestion and immune boosting postures and sequencing involving core strength and awareness while emphasizing modifications to meet our individual needs. HOT VINYASA Yoga Spark classes in Westchester and Tribeca will be added to the schedule for this week. Check out their site if you want to catch up on some hot-action indoors with Vicyasa™: CLICK HERE. New York Yoga (85th st. and Lexington ave.) -- we have a weekly schedule there and loads of AM, late afternoon and weekend classes.

NAMASTE, Victor Cotto www.YogaWithVictor.com Instagram: CottoVic Facebook: Yoga With Victor - Vicyasa™ “Yoga is invigoration in relaxation. Freedom in routine. Confidence through self control. Energy within and energy without.” Yoga and meditation encourage you to turn your focus inward and to listen to your deeper, more intuitive thoughts. As you gain more insight into your true nature, your values and your goals become much clearer. From such a loving, sacred place within yourself, you can make decisions about what you want, and don’t want, in life. By living such an authentic life you are showing nothing but love for yourself.
Regardless of where you are in your practice, yoga will teach you to appreciate your body and its abilities. It’s common to start yoga and think you should immediately be able to do an inversion or arm balance and when you can’t - we beat ourselves up for it. It doesn’t take long, however, before the essence of yoga grabs you and you become aware of the negative self-talk and find a way to switch it off. The more you turn up and tune in, the easier this gets. The more you come to see your body in a different light and realise that it is truly amazing. We then cherish what we can do, what we can accomplish and not look at ourselves with judgement, but with a love that only comes through when we embrace a practice that is devoted and adoring the self! HOT IN-PERSON THIS WEEK: Victor will be at New York Yoga (Lex. ave & 85th St.) this week Monday at 6:00 pm, Wednesday at 4:30 pm and Saturday at 11:00 am (75 minute).
