Yoga is the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind. Then,  the seer abides in her own nature.

(Yoga Sutras of Patanjali I:2,3)

ASHTANGA
VINYASA
YOGA

Yoga classes are based on the ashtanga vinyasa yoga system in the tradition of Sri Krishnamacharya and Sri Pattabhi Jois. 

Ashtanga yoga is an ancient system of investigation and self-knowledge. It was systematized by the sage Patanjali and structured into eight aspects: Yama (ethical foundations), Niyama (attention to life habits), Asanas (postures), Pranayama (breathing), Pratyahara (abstraction of the mind), Dharana (concentration), Dhyana (meditation) and Samadhi (union). 

Vinyasa means coordination of movement and breathing. Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is a type of practice that coordinates movement and breathing in a dynamic sequence of postures. 

CLASS FORMAT

The practice will follow the "Mysore" style, that is, a practice in which each student follows their own pace while the teacher gives instructions and makes adjustments individually. This teaching method has the virtue of allowing the student to benefit from the energy of the group to advance in their practice while being accompanied by the teacher in a personalized way.

 

FIRST CLASS

It is not necessary to have previous knowledge or a specific physical condition to practice yoga. In your first class, the teacher will gradually introduce you to the practice. When you get to the room, find a place for your mat and wait for the teacher's instructions.

 

RECOMMENDATIONS

  • Bring your own mat. 

  • Bring comfortable clothes. 

  • Bring a hand towel to dry your sweat.

  • Try not to eat before training

TEACHER

Camila Valenzuela began her yoga practice in the year 2000 in England, which she continued on her return to Chile at the Ashtanga Yoga Chile school with Loreto Cortéz and during her stay in France with different teachers, including Charley Bensusen, Kia Naddermier and Stéphane Collet. She also participated in workshops with Mark and Joanne Darby, Kino McGregor, Petri Räisänen and Dena Kingsberg. In Mysore, India, she began the practice of pranayama with B.N.S Iyengar and the study of yoga sutras with Dr. Jayashree and Sri Narashimhan. She currently follows the teachings of A.G Mohan, a direct disciple of Sri.Krishnamacharya. She has taught yoga in different schools since 2007: in the Shantosha and Yoga Mukti schools in Santiago de Chile; at the Théâtre de Verre cultural center in Paris; at the Théâtre du Petit Matin and at the YAMA school in Marseille; at the Yoga Sadhana school in Valparaíso; at the Ashtanga Yoga school in Rio de Janeiro and at the Arraial d'Ajuda charity association (ABAA) in Brazil. 

TESTIMONIALS

It is with admiration and gratitude that I express my feelings in relation to being with Camila during her Ashtanga Yoga classes. Her dedication to yoga teaching exceeds all expectations, revealing a passion and a commitment that is truly exceptional. Camila is capable of combining a deep practical knowledge with in-depth research, built over many years of experience.

The expertise she demonstrates in conducting her classrooms reveals the wealth of her accumulated knowledge. I practiced Hatha Yoga for a while and I thought that Ashtanga would be very difficult, but Camila is able to teach each posture, each movement, with precision, lightness and a passion that reflects her deep immersion in the study and practice of yoga, adapting the exercises to the level of each of her students.

Her commitment to excellence, coupled with her love for teaching and tireless dedication to meticulous research, have made him an inexhaustible source of inspiration. I hope that her positive influence continues to guide and enrich the lives of those who have the unbelievable luck of being your students.

Dia de luna y práctica d pranayama

In the Ashtanga yoga tradition, there is no practice on new and full moon days. This is because it is recognized that, just as the moon influences the tides by exacerbating or calming their flow, it also influences our body. Therefore, these days of energetic extremes are considered days of rest.    

 

In our school, we take advantage of these days to make a special practice on breathing techniques called pranayama.
