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=

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=

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=

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=

The most important thing to remember about yoga is that the practice itself is proof that we can do it. It has been done for thousands of generations before us. And, as we continue on our own journeys, we will continue to inspire others to step on the mat and take up the practice after us. . . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogadudes #yogamen #yogalove #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogaforlife #yogaformen #boysofyoga #mensyoga #yogaphilippines #yogaeverywhere #ashtanga #ashtangi #ashtangayoga #sthirabhaga #vasisthasana #armbalance #sideplank #yogaph #igersmanila #grammerph #fitspo #pinoygram #yogamanila #igyoga #instayoga #madaboutyoga #advanceda (at Ashtanga Yoga Manila) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf_11lPPxc5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When we are willing, there is much to gain. We awaken to gifts we didn’t know we had. We build new relationships, accomplish goals, and achieve a lifelong dream. We cultivate confidence, strengthen our Faith, and shine our light. The more we shine, the more we encourage others to do the same. We are all worthy, to live a life of our highest potential, and the only way is to look vulnerability right in the eye, and say “I can do this.” So, let’s all, one uncomfortable moment at a time, lean in and keep practicing. . . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogamen #yogadudes #yogalove #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogaforlife #yogaformen #mensyoga #boysofyoga #yogaph #yogamanila #yogaphilippines #igersmanila #intermediateseries #ashtanga #ashtangi #ashtangayoga #ustrasana #vulnerability #grammerph #pinoygram #fit #fitspo #camelpose #madaboutyoga #igyoga #instayoga #yogaeverywhere (at Ashtanga Yoga Manila) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf6dxYDpl89/?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=

It's easy to keep chasing your tail and running in circles in this practice. There will be forever another posture to tackle, another posture to achieve some sort of level of success in. But when do you say to yourself that I am not the asana, this practice is not a series of accomplishments, this asana does not define me how do I learn the lesson that constantly striving to do more, to bend deeper, to push myself to the extreme. In actuality be taking me further away from my true self and from the essence of this practice. I am not the Yoga Asana. . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogadudes #yogamen #yogalove #yogainspiration #siargaoisland #yogaforlife #yogaformen #boysofyoga #mensyoga #yogaphilippines #yogaeverywhere #ashtanga #ashtangi #ashtangayoga #intermediateseries #strong #vrschikasana #islandlife #handstand #yogaph #igersmanila #grammerph #fitspo #pinoygram #siargao #igyoga #instayoga #madaboutyoga (at Siargao Island Philippines) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce1N2EwJLmE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The inner path of yoga is sometimes difficult, long and painful, it is also immensely rewarding, filled with timeless joy and one of the only sources of real, lasting peace. Each practitioner of yoga goes through periods of injury, pain and discomfort but not every practitioner has the dedication, heart and courage to find the light at the end of the tunnel. Those who maintain a relationship with their practice over a number of years begin to understand just how much it takes to make yoga a lifelong practice. There are moments of doubt, intense suffering and emotional turmoil as well as moments of bliss, ecstasy and realization. What commitment to yoga over a lifetime really demands is total devotion. . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogamen #yogadudes #yogalove #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogaformen #yogaforlife #boysofyoga #mensyoga #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #ashtangi #primaryseries #prasaritapadottanasana #wideleggedforwardfold #basic #yogamanila #yogaph #yogaphilippines #grammerph #igersmanila #fit #fitspo #pinoygram #feeltheyogahigh #igyoga #instayoga #madaboutyoga (at Ashtanga Yoga Manila) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc991xjvAwW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

One of the last practices I did at the shala before #typhoonodette slammed Siargao so bad. Swipe left to see the aftermath. When we receive a tragedy or a shock in our lives, our body tends to go into fight meaning looking for someone to blame or flight meaning we try to calm ourselves with clichés like "everything happens for a reason" response. In these trying times like in yoga, when we feel our body resisting, is to breathe through it. We must become more present than usual. By breathing into our discomfort, we empower ourselves to feel uncomfortable without panicking. Each new breath draws us more deeply into awareness and allows us to move on to the next breath, the next step. We feel sadness, horror, grief, compassion, acceptance, anger, relief, sorrow, and, just for a moment, awareness of it all. One breath at a time. . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogamen #yogadudes #yogalove #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogaformen #yogaforlife #boysofyoga #mensyoga #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #ashtangi #intermediateseries #kapotasana #backbend #siargaoisland #yogaph #yogaphilippines #grammerph #igersmanila #fit #fitspo #pinoygram #helpsiargao #igyoga #instayoga #siargao (at Siargao Island Philippines) https://www.instagram.com/nomnomenclature/p/CYbPN_tPRYz/?utm_medium=tumblr

Batang Hamog level unlocked! But kidding aside, I wasn't expecting that this will be the way how I will exit the the tear-drop shape island of Siargao (Not permanently). Everyone was caught off-guard and by surprise when #typhoonodette hit the entire island so bad. It literally turned the surfing paradise into a sort of complete wasteland in less than five hours on that fateful day of the 16th of December 2021 even my own home was not spared. This was me 3 days after typhoon Odette to pick up my transportation which I left uphill of Tawin tawin where we evacuated since majority of the roads and streets were blocked by fallen branches and uprooted trees after the storm. It took me six days of no electricity, no network, no water from the tap but to fetch water from the deep well to take a bath, no proper sleep, six days of cigarette and water diet since I literally don't have the appetite to eat proper food though that there is really something proper to eat to finally decide that it's time for me to go back to Makati temporarily. It was an amazing, nurturing and nourishing almost a year of experience with you Siargao. I am not bidding farewell nor abandoning you. I will comeback once I am mentally and emotionally recovered. SALAMAT KARAJAW, Siargao! 💔🥲 Ps. Thank you to all of my friends whom I consider my family in the island who supported me emotionally, physically, and mentally during the time that I was a complete disaster post-typhoon. @iambobbiethegreat (Mindy and Mother) @xiannemische @gui_spain @snarkynippy @the.lone.lioness Ron @jpearlieeee For those who want to extend their help to Siargao in order for our home island to recover, follow @tindogsiargao to see ways and means to help the island. . . . . . . #siargao #siargaoisland #supertyphoon #survivor #resilience #ashtanga #ashtangi #riseup #recover #helpsiargao #pinoygram #grammerph #igersmanila #yogi #wewillrise #strength #help #gratitude #nourish #trauma #thankful #grateful #iamalive #tindogsiargao #philippines #fateful #typhoon #letushelp #surfingparadise (at Tawin Tawin Siargao Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYL-HrJvUPt/?utm_medium=tumblr

We are all living in uncertain times where the only thing certain is change. Most situations affect our routine functioning and demand us to adapt ourselves to that change. How willing are we to embrace big or small changes and adapt? Whenever there is a change around us, there needs to be a change within us, an inner preparation. The change has to start in our mind. If we resist the internal shift, we resist the external change too. It leaves us stressed and unhappy. Instead of sticking to internal comfort zones created due to past experiences or belief systems, let’s cultivate a habit of being able to change our habits. Flexibility increases our ability to adjust and adapt to different people and environments. Using our powers to accept, adjust, accommodate, tolerate, or mould are one decision away. Remind ourselves, I adapt to people and situations and flow with life. I know when to adjust and when to confront, and I use both powers the right way. . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogadudes #yogamen #yogalove #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogaforlife #yogaformen #boysofyoga #mensyoga #yogaphilippines #siargaoisland #ashtanga #ashtangi #ashtangayoga #sthirabhaga #visvamitrasana #armbalance #sideplank #yogaph #igersmanila #grammerph #fitspo #pinoygram #siargao #igyoga #instayoga #madaboutyoga #advanceda (at Sadhana Siargao) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVItrQrB6Nb/?utm_medium=tumblr

A lifetime commitment to yoga teaches us the power of the deepest level of devotion. Whether we practice six days a week or only two times a week as long as yoga remains in our lives over time we will delve deeper into the inner world and know what it means to fully surrender ourselves to the path of yoga. When we are able to maintain our attention on our deepest dreams with the type of unwavering focus and heartfelt dedication that yoga teaches us, then we will also know the exhilarating feeling of actualizing our dreams in the world. . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogadudes #yogamen #yogalove #yogainspiration #siargaoisland #yogaforlife #yogaformen #boysofyoga #mensyoga #yogaphilippines #yogaeverywhere #fit #ashtanga #ashtangi #ashtangayoga #strong #sirsasana #flexibility #headstand #yogaph #igersmanila #grammerph #fitspo #pinoygram #siargao #igyoga #instayoga #madaboutyoga (at Siargao Island Philippines) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUR-2okBX0A/?utm_medium=tumblr

Trini, Inhale, head-up... In the Ashtanga Yoga method every posture has a specific number of vinyasas which is a breath-aligned movements that bring us from Samasthiti to a particular posture or asana and back to standing. We hear the count or the Vinyasa count in an Ashtanga Led Class, where the count is used to lead the practitioners through the movements without any extra explanation needed. Once a week usually Saturdays, people who practice Ashtanga Yoga regularly in a Mysore class setting will find it beneficial and fun to flow with the group just counting the vinyasas. 📷: @edpinedaph Yoga Mat by @naturayogaph . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogadudes #yogamen #yogalove #yogainspiration #siargaoisland #yogaforlife #yogaformen #boysofyoga #mensyoga #yogaphilippines #yogaeverywhere #ashtanga #ashtangi #ashtangayoga #suryanamaskar #sunsalutation #islandlife #vinyasa #yogaph #igersmanila #grammerph #fitspo #pinoygram #siargao #igyoga #instayoga #madaboutyoga #foundation (at Maison Bukana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUIROq-hRVi/?utm_medium=tumblr
