| Japanese?...well its that Jack Marshall founder of Ki Yoga. Its basically a remix of updated and revented cultural modalities found stretching back as ancient Africa/Egypt. "Ki Yoga" I think is yet another useful and marketable way of a "new" twist or variation of old yet to be exhausted themes. I would definitely check up on it.
"The school of Ki Yoga was developed by teacher and healer, Jack Marshall, from his own years of yoga and clinical practice, and from the work of two Masters: the Japanese Master, Masahiro Oki, who first combined Indian Hatha and Raja Yoga with the precise diagnostic and Meridian-based healing arts of China and Japan; and the Australian Master, Andrzej Gospodarczyk, who put together a comprehensive and wholistic healing system of diagnosis, shiatsu, yoga and diet."

| Hi dere,
I'm an Aussie, and will qualify that Ki yoga is really big here, and just gets bigger and bigger!
I did a class a few weeks ago, and while it was an exciting, new experience, it wasn't quite as satisfying as more Indian style asana is for me.
It was almost Pilates-ish: lots of small repeated movements and a focus on core strength/abdominals and lower back.
I did feel very serene afterwards, and could feel it activating me on a more 'energetic' level.
The yogas I love best are very smooth, flowing and challenging styles (lots of salutes, sequences, etc...), so it didn't really satisfy on that level. It was fun though- I recommend! |
