In a class with Jonas you'll find genuine enthusiasm for yoga as a tool for finding freedom. He teaches a flowing style of practice that emphasizes moving from the core with awareness. Melodious chants are usually included, inspired by the wisdom of vedic chanting. All of this is held together by the three "ingredients" which can transform any practice into a meditation; pranayama, bandha and dristhi.
Jonas completed the Two Suns Rising Yoga Teacher Training with Didier and Anne Razon which focused on the psychological and spiritual benefits of Yoga as well as the philosophy. He has continued his studies with Christopher Baxter on the principles of TRUE core engagement and alignment, including work with mula bandha. Jonas continues to study the teachings of the Vedas independently and also through one of his teachers Brahmacharini Arpita, who runs the Chinmaya Vedanta mission in Elkton.
Currently Jonas practices Ashtanga and Ashtanga's "grandchild" the Vinyasa flow style. Both styles are focused on utilizing breath control (pranayama), practicing focus and concentration by controlling the gaze (dristhi) and of course the poses (asana),noting that asana means seat, so not just "doing" the pose,but residing or having a "seat" within it, truly being in it and applying the bandhas or "locks." Each and every asana or movement into an asana is linked to the breath. This defines Vinyasa.
In a class with Jonas you will find all of the above included; the enthusiasm for yoga as a tool for becoming free as taught by Two Sun's rising, which is inspired by the Siddha Yoga tradition. A flowing style of practice; emphasis is always brought back to the core and moving mindfully with awareness. Melodious chants are usually included, inspired by the wisdom of vedic chanting. All of this is held together by the three "ingredients" which can transform any practice into a meditation; pranayama, bandha and dristhi.
