You have to go through a process to understand.

Laruga Glaser

I think what attracted me to look further into the actual practice of yoga is the fact that it’s experiential. You have to go through a process to understand.

When I started to practice yoga, there is a sense of connection on the inside where I really wanted to be a good person. Where I felt motivated to transform myself, or move myself higher up... and the moment I came on my mat, I felt like I was home. I really felt like this is a space where I can be me, and really connect to this internal part of myself. I felt at home within myself. I felt at my home with even the things I was struggling with, and that was huge for me in the beginning when I started the practice… and one reason why I continue to do this practice.

In the Ashtanga yoga practice, we learn many many asanas. We go through this process of being taught and we guide ourselves through a sequence of postures. And it looks to be on the outside very physical, or to be representative of something very external. But underlying through all of that, what’s really moving us within these asanas is the breath, is the focal point, our sense of concentration, and through the asanas, through the act of performing the asanas, we are internally aligned. I feel personally this is what really moves the action of the asanas. This is what breathes life into the asanas. It’s like a form of expressing this internal aspect of ourselves to the outside or, also, just using the asana to feel on the inside, and it’s a marriage of both.

The transformative process really comes through with feeling this connection, so the change really came from within. I think that was what was huge for me: instead of these rules I was trying to follow on the outside – to feel like I wanted to fit in, to want to fit in, to want to attain validation or even approval from my parents – when I started to practice yoga, it really came from the inside. There is a connection on the inside, where there was a motivation to be better. To be more aware, to live on a higher level, to connect with people more authentically, because I was connecting on the inside: because I was aware of what was happening inside of me, there was more motivation to lead my life externally, connecting on a higher level. That internal connection is really what transforms us because we start to feel the importance of shedding the layers, that hold us back or cover who we really are.

'Geometries' – An Exquisite Yoga Video

Geometries, the latest video clip of Ashtanga yoga teacher Laruga Glaser, is four and also a half mins of admiration, motivation as well as wonder. Shot in a modern office building, the steel, glass, marble and 20 foot pillars offer a striking comparison to Laruga's glowing poise as well as moving yoga exercise practice. This juxtaposition is not distracting, as a result of the video clip's aesthetically pleasing and also harmonious color scheme of muted browns as well as whites (with a couple of tips of environment-friendly), that includes the excellent match of Laruga's skin tone and clothing with the minimalist architectural environment.

The imaginative electronic camera angles, crazy sophisticated positions, attractive soundtrack, competent edits as well as Laruga's remarkable changes function flawlessly together to make a remarkable must-see yoga exercise video. I especially enjoyed the dramatic long odds of Laruga engaging in in between the rows of columns.

Alessandro Sigismondi has actually shot numerous various other video clips with Laruga, but this is the very first one try indoors and also in Laurga's home-base of Stockholm, Sweden. After working 16 years in the marketing business Alessandro quit his job as well as traveled to India with his partner and also 1 year aged kid to practice Ashtanga yoga. When he began taking videos as well as stills of a few of the yoga professionals at Mysore, word spread rapidly of his stunning work. Three years later Alessandro now travels permanent photographing and shooting yogis. If he ever before tires of the gypsy life, he might clear up back down and also start his own yoga based ad agency.
