Who Says Yoga Has To Be Boring?

Forget Everything You Think You Know About Yoga – Prasara Is A Dynamic Method Of Practice That Will Help You Move Better And Feel Better While Learning Fun And Interesting Ways To Move Your Body.

OK, let’s be hon­est here — you’ve heard of yoga before, so it’s not as if you’re com­ing to this page expect­ing to have your mind blown. You’ve prob­a­bly seen some pic­tures of dudes in pur­ple leo­tards and noticed those $12 DVDs at Wal-Mart. You’re not read­ing this page with­out some pre-existing idea of what yoga is.

Please don’t judge us based on what you’ve seen in the past.

Prasara Is Different. Really.

First, we should let you know that we have noth­ing but respect for tra­di­tional yoga styles. We’ve prac­ticed a vari­ety of them over the years, and you can get a lot out of that kind of practice.

It’s a well-established fact that prac­tic­ing Yoga will help you increase flex­i­bil­ity and learn to relax, and var­i­ous stud­ies have shown it to cor­re­late to just about any marker of good health you can think of. You know all this already, so we’re not going to go on about why you should prac­tice yoga. How­ever, we do want to tell you about what makes Prasara unique and what it can do for you.

The short story is that Prasara was cre­ated to develop Flow. We’ll talk more about this later, but the gist is that Flow is a qual­ity of move­ment in which you can tran­si­tion smoothly form one thing to another.

Flow is also a men­tal state some­times referred to by ath­letes as “being in the zone.”Actu­ally, Flow is a lot of things, and that can make it dif­fi­cult to describe — and even harder to learn. But it isn’t impos­si­ble, and we’ve been teach­ing it for years to our pri­vate clients, in live sem­i­nars and work­shops, and though this course, the Prasara Primer.

The unique ele­ment of Prasara prac­tice as opposed to most other styles of yoga is sim­ply that tra­di­tional yoga is fix­ated on sit­ting in poses while Prasara shifts the empha­sis to the tran­si­tions between poses. You’ll still use the same pos­tures and posi­tions, but we’ll also work on your abil­ity to “flow” from one to the next so you can develop real agility, grace, power, and yes, Flow in every­thing you do.

Within your first month using the Prasara Primer, you’ll:Restore your self-confidence as you mas­ter increas­ingly chal­leng­ing movements.

Chal­lenge your ner­vous sys­tem for increased move­ment effi­ciency.

Boost power and mobil­ity simultaneously.

Play bet­ter at any sport with increased bal­ance and spa­tial awareness.

Neu­tral­ize pain from tight mus­cles and stiff joints.

Min­i­mize sidelin­ing injuries and cor­rect the imbal­ances that cause them.

Develop true func­tional mus­cle with­out excess bulk.

Tap into the unlim­ited cre­ativ­ity and spon­tane­ity inside you.

Prac­tice any­time, any­where – with no equip­ment and min­i­mal space.

After you’ve used Prasara for two months, you’ll won­der at how much bet­ter you feel in your body and your over­all phys­i­cal prowess and agility. Guaranteed.

I have prac­ticed yoga for the last 18 years and seen a vari­ety of dif­fer­ent teach­ing styles. Some styles of yoga exist in an almost mys­ti­cal shroud: exclu­sive cliques prac­tic­ing a dif­fi­cult series of move­ments. Other styles pre­scribe a rigid, unchange­able series of pos­tures. The won­der­ful thing about Prasara yoga is the intu­itive, open man­ner in which it can be practiced.

The Prasara Primer is an excel­lent start­ing point. The mate­r­ial is phe­nom­e­nally user-friendly, and the clear, open tone of the Primer will enable any­body at any fit­ness level to get started imme­di­ately on a life­long Prasara practice.

JB — Nashville, TNIs Prasara Really The Best style Of Yoga?We’re not going to tell you that Prasara is bet­ter than any other kind of yoga. That would be silly.

There’s no such thing as a “best” way to move your body. There are wrong ways — inju­ri­ous ways, like those awful stretches your high school gym coach used to make you do — but the beauty of yoga is that most of the poses are very dif­fi­cult to do in a way that could cause you to hurt yourself.

Yoga is gen­tle (not to be con­fused with pas­sive), and Prasara espe­cially empha­sizes mov­ing smoothly from one posi­tion to another, so you don’t have any jar­ring or wrench­ing effects that could pull a muscle.

But, though we won’t claim it’s the “best,” we will tell you that Prasara is the most fun style of yoga around.

While many styles of yoga insist on fol­low­ing a set sequence of how­ever many poses for how­ever many min­utes, the ulti­mate goal of prac­tic­ing Prasara is to teach you to flow with­out think­ing of what comes next. Yes, in the begin­ning, you’ll be prac­tic­ing rou­tines (this course includes six of them — more about those later), but through prac­tic­ing the rou­tines, you’ll actu­ally be giv­ing your body the vocab­u­lary of move­ment you need in order to impro­vise your own movements.

That last bit is the real magic of Prasara and what makes it such a nat­ural fit for athletes.

The Prasara Yoga / Martial Arts ConnectionIt’s no secret that fight­ers are some of the most ver­sa­tile and adapt­able ath­letes around. You kind of have to be if you’re job requires you to per­form while simul­ta­ne­ously try­ing to avoid get­ting socked in the face.

But what a lot of peo­ple don’t know is that mar­tial arts and yoga have an awful lot in common.

We’re mar­tial artists. Between the three of us, we’ve trained in a dozen dif­fer­ent styles and com­peted on four con­ti­nents. We wouldn’t waste our time train­ing any­thing that didn’t allow us to deliver pow­er­ful strikes and kicks with speed and precision.

In the ring, noth­ing is pre­dictable. It looks like chaos out there, but the fight­ers have to adapt with agility and grace (the best fight­ers are always grace­ful). It might sur­prise you to learn that the key to devel­op­ing speed, power, and pre­ci­sion under pres­sure comes from prac­tic­ing pre-determined rou­tines over and over.

In tra­di­tional mar­tial arts, they’re called kata, but many mod­ern arts also make heavy use of “flow drills” in which part­ners rehearse pre­set attack and defense pat­terns to mas­ter var­i­ous skills. As they get bet­ter and more effi­cient, the drill is altered to become just a lit­tle more dif­fi­cult. With enough prac­tice, advanced moves hap­pen with­out any thought — like sec­ond nature — and that’s how fight­ers pre­pare every tech­nique they plan to use in a match.

We do the same thing with Prasara.

In the begin­ning, we’ll show you a short sequence of move­ments. After some prac­tice, we’ll add more. Even­tu­ally, it will start to get eas­ier, and you’ll notice that your body sails through the tran­si­tions more effi­ciently, with no wasted movements.

That’s when we level up. Change the drill.

Each of the five core Primer flow rou­tines have three lev­els of dif­fi­culty so you can step up grad­u­ally from the most basic vari­a­tions of each move­ment to advanced forms that you wouldn’t have even attempted in the beginning.

Since you’ll always be able to choose the appro­pri­ate level of prac­tice for any flow, you’ll never have to worry about a move­ment being too hard or advanced for you. Just prac­tice the level that fits, and over time, you’ll find that you can move on to the higher lev­els of each movement.

Going with the Flow – On the Field and OffThough it’s per­fect for mar­tial artists, you don’t have to be a fighter to ben­e­fit from prac­tic­ing Prasara. Prasara is pos­si­bly the most ath­letic style of yoga out there because of its dynamic move­ments and focus on Flow.

If you’re an ath­lete in any sport, you already know what Flow is. Your focus tight­ens, and the out­side world fades away. You breathe deeper. Time slows down. You get tun­nel vision, and the path between you and your goal opens up. You don’t have to think about what to do — you just act, spon­ta­neously, in the moment.

Even if you’re not an ath­lete, you’ve prob­a­bly expe­ri­enced flow while dri­ving on the high­way, play­ing a musi­cal instru­ment, or doing some­thing else that requires a relaxed concentration.

Flow feels good, and when you’re in it, you don’t want it to end.Even if you’re not the “sporty” type, you know that one of the least use­ful things an ath­lete can do is to stand per­fectly still dur­ing a match. In fact, that might just be the fastest way to lose in most sports.

No, ath­letes have to move. So it’s impor­tant that a yoga style designed to develop ath­letic move­ment not spend too much time sit­ting still.

That’s why Prasara is built on “the move­ment between the move­ments.” Feel­ing bal­anced and cen­tered is easy when you sit per­fectly still, but you can’t do that all the time. Your life demands that you get out and inter­act with chal­lenges in the world. For most peo­ple, Flow is a frag­ile state that crum­ples when it comes in con­tact with the slight­est change, but you can develop a stronger Flow by teach­ing your body how to tran­si­tion through change.

To get bet­ter as adapt­ing to the unex­pected (like an opponent’s right hook — or another car sud­denly chang­ing lanes), you must prac­tice chang­ing — tran­si­tion­ing — from one move­ment (the one you planned) to a dif­fer­ent one (that adapts to the chang­ing environment).

If an ath­lete can’t access Flow, they can’t play their best. They make the wrong choices, their bod­ies will be a step behind their minds, and they’ll keep get­ting caught off-guard when things don’t go accord­ing to plan.

And that’s when injuries happen.

Prasara Is Like Injury Insurance For AthletesYou’ve prob­a­bly seen videos of ath­letes get­ting injured. These videos are painful to watch — not only because we can see an injury occur­ring, but because we can see it com­ing before they do.

When ath­letes get sur­prised, they get hurt.

The ball trav­els in an unex­pected direc­tion. Another player attacks from an unex­pected angle. They step on a slip­pery patch. They get faked out.

Things hap­pen that we can’t pre­dict or control.

Prasara yoga is like injury insur­ance for ath­letes because it trains you to always be ready to adapt to changes. If you can’t move the way you had planned, you sim­ply tran­si­tion to a dif­fer­ent posi­tion. Flow to the next move­ment and keep going. Side­step the other player. Jump to make the catch. Learn­ing to adapt can help you stay in the moment — in Flow — so you don’t get caught off-guard.

And it’s the same thing off the court too.

Be More Confident With Everyday Movements

And don’t think this just applies to ath­letes — we all use our bod­ies for a vari­ety of tasks every day, and it’s not uncom­mon to hear about peo­ple twist­ing an ankle step­ping off a curb or pulling a back mus­cle while bend­ing over to tie a show or pick up a dropped wallet.

What would it be like to know that your body was pre­pared to adapt to any­thing that comes up?

Flow isn’t just for sports — it means more con­fi­dence in every step. More power and assur­ance when you open a door and enter a room. More agility to nav­i­gate the unex­pected chal­lenges life throws at you every sin­gle day. And all of this trans­lates to more effec­tive and effi­cient move­ments that leave you with less stress, more energy, and a greater feel­ing of mas­tery in your environment.

Yoga For Your LifestyleAnd that’s the most impor­tant thing, after all: apply­ing Prasara to YOUR life.

It’s great for us to talk about how we use Prasara, but it’s got to make sense to you if you’re going to prac­tice it. You’ve got to know that Prasara will work for your sit­u­a­tion and for your body. And it will, by the way. We’ve seen Prasara help peo­ple from all dif­fer­ent back­grounds achieve a wide range of goals with this prac­tice. It will help you too.

Whether you want to improve your ath­letic per­for­mance or just enjoy play­ing with your kids (or grand­kids), Prasara prac­tice will teach you to move with more con­trol and ease. You’ll find greater mobil­ity and con­fi­dence in every­thing you do with your body. And you’ll have fun.Of course, if you can’t make Prasara prac­tice fit your lifestyle, it won’t help you.

Sim­ply put, you’re going to have to prac­tice if you want to see any ben­e­fits. So we’ve spent a lot of time design­ing the Primer to be easy to get started with and sim­ple to fol­low from the begin­ning, whether you’ve prac­ticed yoga or years or have no prior expe­ri­ence. The Primer is made to fit into your life now, no mat­ter how busy you are or what other activ­i­ties you have in your life. We’ll show you how to make Prasara work for you so you can get all the ben­e­fits of this practice.

You won’t have to devote a cer­tain amount of time every day to prac­tice. Though you’ll see faster results with more work, just a few min­utes at a time is enough to get started, and you can lit­er­ally do this any­where, with no equip­ment or spe­cial clothing.
