viagem a Índia do yoga - 5a edição

 

Atualmente no mundo ocidental, no meio médico e científico são utilizadas com sucesso técnicas originárias do Yoga com foco no relaxamento, respiração e  meditação entre outras com o intuito de promover um bem-estar e saúde geral, nomeadamente no contexto da saúde mental. 

Apesar dos benefícios e dos estudos científicos comprovados até que ponto fará sentido ignorar a dimensão espiritual e relação com o Divino que sempre esteve presente no Yoga e Meditação enquanto cultura milenar do subcontinente indiano? De que forma isso será impactante e relevante? 

Após 20 anos de viagens à Índia do Yoga, o que nos continua a impactar e inspirar quer na forma de ensinar o Yoga quer na forma de viver a vida vem da inspiração de contacto com yogis, yoginis, sadhus, sadhvis e sannyasins que ainda vivem em zonas de difícil acesso na floresta, em grutas ou pequenas cabanas. 

A Índia é mencionada cada vez mais em livros, artigos, programas de tv, redes sociais, aulas, workshops e Formações de Yoga como o berço do Yoga, do Tantra, do Ayurveda e do Vedanta. Mas de entre tantas referências, o que é que se pode considerar fidedigno e realista? 

Nesse sentido, o objectivo desta viagem é praticar, estudar, vivenciar e conhecer o Yoga e as suas raízes. Não numa perspectiva turística mas com o intuito de ter uma experiência

pessoal e real do Yoga como é vivido e praticado actualmente na Índia, aprendendo

directamente com yogis que mantêm a tradição viva, perpetuando o estilo de vida

yogi nos mesmos locais desde à milhares de anos.

Iremos permanecer principalmente na zona de Rishikesh, que fica situada no sopé dos

Himalaias, às margens do rio Ganges e rodeada por montanhas. 

Numa época em que existem mais escolas, comunidades, professores de Yoga no

Ocidente do que no Oriente, que relevância/importância continua a ter ir à Índia no

contexto do Yoga?

O Convite é para vires e experienciares por ti mesm@ a resposta a esta questão numa viagem intimista e exclusiva reservada a 8 participantes.

25 Anos de Gratidão - 25 Years of Gratitude

 25 Anos de Gratidão - 25 Years of Gratitude

(English below) Queria te agradecer a Ti! Sim a Ti <3 Que participaste numa aula, workshop, retiro, curso, satsanga, palestra ou viagem comigo. A Ti! Que contribuíste para divulgar, apoiar, incentivar, organizar ou recomendar algum evento ou curso meu. Sim Tu <3 Comecei a praticar Yoga e Meditação por livros em 1995 após uma busca existencial iniciada pela morte de um dos meus melhores amigos. Este mês faz 25 anos desde que fiz a minha primeira prática de Yoga com um professor, comecei a ensinar Yoga e Meditação nesse mesmo ano a convite da minha professora com quem praticava regularmente na altura. Continuei nos anos seguintes a minha prática, investigação e formação em Yoga e Meditação, fazendo formação e visitando professores e professoras de diferentes escolas e perspectivas filosóficas em Portugal, Brasil, Reino Unido, Grécia e Índia. Nestes últimos 25 anos de ensino, partilhei milhares e milhares de horas de Yoga e Meditação com milhares de Human@s em aulas, palestras, eventos, workshops, satsangas, retiros, viagens à Índia e formações profissionais. Nestes 25 anos tornei-me Senior Yoga Teacher e Trainer Pro pela Yoga Alliance Professionals. Formei centenas de professores e professoras nas áreas de Yoga, Meditação, Yoga na Gravidez, Yoga Terapia e Sup Yoga. Lancei dois cds de pratica : Yoganidra - descontração profunda (2006) e Meditações Guiadas - Sê Quem Tu És (2014). Nestes 25 anos nasceram e morreram pessoas que Amo Muito, familiares e amig@s. Fui pai duas vezes, primeiro de um menino agora com 15 anos e de uma menina agora com 7 anos e morreu a minha irmã. Muita coisa aconteceu e outras nunca chegaram a acontecer nestes 25 anos... Nestes 25 anos amei e fui amado, amo e sou amado, esclareci-me e iludi-me, chorei e ri, ensinei e aprendi, expressei e fiquei em silêncio e todos os outros movimentos e experiências que constituem a Vida Humana, mas acima de tudo e apesar de tudo continuei e continuo a Investigar, Inquirir, Estudar e Meditar e a partilhar a experiência dessa Investigação e Meditação com outr@s Human@s. Não o conseguiria ter feito sem Ti! Gratidão <3 Abraço-Te Agora no Fundo do Coração p.s- em modo de celebração destes 25 anos foi lançado um site onde estará disponível a informação sobre o que vou fazendo e investigando. Aqui: www.yogaliberdade.pt 25 Years of Gratitude I wanted to thank you! Yes You <3 That participated in a class, workshop, retreat, course, satsang, lecture or trip with me. You! That contributed to publicize, support, encourage, organize or recommend any event or course done by me. Yes You <3 I started practicing Yoga and Meditation from books in 1995 after an existential search started by the death of one of my best friends. This month makes 25 years since I did my first Yoga practice with a teacher, I started teaching Yoga and Meditation that same year at the invitation of my teacher with whom I practiced regularly at the time. In the following years, I continued my practice, research and training in Yoga and Meditation, doing teacher trainings and visiting teachers from different schools and philosophical perspectives in Portugal, Brazil, United Kingdom, Greece and India. In these last 25 years of teaching, I have shared thousands and thousands of hours of Yoga and Meditation with thousands of Humans in classes, lectures, events, workshops, satsangs, retreats, trips to India and teacher trainings. In these 25 years I have become a Senior Yoga Teacher and Trainer Pro by Yoga Alliance Professionals. I trained hundreds of teachers in the areas of Yoga, Meditation, Pregnancy Yoga, Yoga Therapy and Sup Yoga. I released two practice CDs: Yoganidra - deep relaxation (2006) and Guided Meditations - Be Who You Are (2014). In these 25 years, people I love very much were born and died, family and friends. I was a father twice, first of a boy now 15 years old and a girl now 7 years old and my sister died. A lot has happened and others things end up never happening in these 25 years ... In these 25 years I have loved and been loved, I love and I am loved, I clarified and deluded myself, I cried and laughed, I taught and learned, I expressed and remained silent, I questioned and question What do I Know? and all the other movements and experiences that constitute Human Life, but above all everything and despite everything I continued to Investigate, Inquire, Study and Meditate and to share the experience of this Investigation and Meditation with other Humans. I couldn't have done it without You! Gratitude <3 Big Hug in Your Heart Marco Peralta p.s- as a celebration of these 25 years, a website was launched where information about what I am doing and investigating will be available.
