About AshtangaYoga.info and its author - Arjuna
關於AshtangaYoga.info網站及其作者-Arjuna

HI, I'm Arjuna, a Yoga teacher and a Medical Doctor.
嗨,我是Arjuna,一位瑜珈老師及醫藥的醫生
Some say I'm one of the most dedicated Ashtanga Yoga practitioners
一些人說我是最專注於八支瑜伽的開業醫生之一
Here you can read a bit about me and my approach to Yoga.
這裡您可知道有關於我和我的瑜珈履程
After I learned Yoga form from my mother at early age, I restarted Yoga on my own with a daily practice in 1990.
在我年紀較輕時,我的母親教我瑜珈,之後從1990年起我重新開始學習瑜珈且每天練習
In 1999 I discovered Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga.
在1999年我發現八支串聯瑜伽
At that time, there weren't many people doing Ashtanga Yoga in Germany, my home country and place of resicence.
在當時,我的國家德國和居住附近,並沒有很多人修練八支瑜伽
My first contacts with Ashtanga Yoga were at workshops.
我的第一次接觸八支瑜伽是參加一次研習營
I travelled to nearly every Ashtanga Yoga workshop within about 500 km from my home city, Nurenberg.
從我居住的城市Nurenberg到每一次八支瑜伽研習營舉辦處大約500公里
I was lucky enough to meet and learn from some of the most well-known Ashtanga Yoga teachers, such as Lieno Miele, John Scott and David Svenson.
我很幸運可遇到且受教於一些很有名的老師如:Lieno Miele, John Scott 和 David Svenson.
I'm fascinated by the grace, power and elegance of the Ashtanga Yoga practice.
我被八支瑜伽練習時的優美,勁道及典雅所吸引
But to a greater extent I am enthralled by its ancient tradition; each movement, breath and direction of gazing has been practiced for thousands of years, just as it is done today.
但最大的吸引之處為其古代的傳統,現今修練的每一個動作,呼吸及凝結視點均和數百年前的修練一樣
Being part of a tradition of generations of Yogis that have already practiced all these techniques is a magic thought for me.
對我而言當一位代代相傳的瑜珈行者之一,練習古老傳承的方法是一項很神奇的思維
Some people claim that Ashtanga Yoga has no tradition at all.
一些人斷言八支瑜伽一點都不是傳統
They say: "Ashtanga Yoga is just a modern invention".
他們說:"八支瑜伽只是一項現代的發明"
It's true that there are many assertions about Ashtanga Yoga which are difficult, if not impossible to prove.
事實而論,八支瑜伽的許多主張理論是困難且很難去證明的
But do we always need evidence?
但我們總是須證據來證明嗎?
Somehow life is like a kaleidoscope.
生命無意中就像萬花筒
If you look through it, you see beautiful colours and amazing geometrical paterns.
若您看穿祂,您可見漂亮的顏色及神奇的幾何圖案
If you are only concerned with physical reality, you can destroy the kaleidoscope and you will come to the conclusion that all the beauty you saw was mere splinters of odd coloured glass.
若您只專注在物理性的真實,您可將萬花筒打破得到一個結論,看起來漂亮但這不過是一些碎掉及零散的彩色玻璃
You will be disillusioned and the dream of the kaleidoscope will be dead.
您將從夢中覺醒而萬花筒將會死亡
For me, it feels good to be practising Ashtanga Yoga in what I understand to be the most traditional method.
對我而言在我知道許多傳統的方法,八支瑜伽的修練是較有益的
I used to be a bit confused about the differences between different teaching approaches.
我以前會迷惘於太多不同的修練法門
To get in direct contact with the roots of Ashtanga Yoga I travelled to India to study with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois.
為了直接接觸八支瑜伽的根源,我到印度與Sri K. Pattabhi Jois學習
All other Ashtanga Yoga teachers alive have either learned directly from him or from his students.
所有其他的八支瑜伽的老師都從他或其學生學到此系統
I hoped - a hope that has been justified by my experience of him - that he was the one who could teach me the most traditional way of Ashtanga Yoga.
我根據我自己的經驗認為,他是唯一可教我傳統八支瑜伽的老師
He always confirms the method he teacjes today is exactly the one he learned from his teacher Sri Tirumali Krishnamacharya.
他總是確認此系統的方法是他從其老師Sri Tirumali Krishnamacharya學習來的
But it seems that he wasn't very exact in his teaching, because there are a few slight differences between the practices (and therefore teachings) of the various people that have studied with Patabhi Jois at different times.
但似乎有一現象,在不同的人且在不同時期與Patabhi Jois學習後，練習法有些微的不同
My Ashtanga Yoga practice represents what I learned from Pattabhi Jois.
我的八支瑜伽也呈現我從Pattabhi Jois學到的部分
In the places where I noticed differences, I asked him or his grandson Sharath for the correct method of counting, breathing and moving.
在一些我注意到不同之處,我請教他及其孫子Sharath有關於計數，呼吸及動作正確的方法
However, because I only did the primary and intermediate series under Pattabhis guidance, when I practice the advanced series I use the counting and method I have learned from some senior students of Pattabhi Jois.
因我在Pattabhis的指導下只學第一級及第二級，因此當我練習第三級以上時,我從Pattabhi Jois的一些資深學生學習計數及方法
I teach what I practise.
我練習完成的部分我才教
For me, teaching feels more like sharing my personal practice - I just forward what I have experienced.
對我而言教學像是分享我個人經驗過的練習成果
Hence, I teach Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga in a way I believe to be the most traditional.
所以我相信我教的八支串聯瑜伽是最傳統的
Nevertheless, the "most traditional" form of Ashtanga Yoga still differs quite a bit from teacher to teacher.
除非最傳統的八支瑜伽形式仍是在不同的老師間有一些不同
Maybe Ashtanga Yoga is like yeast.
也許八支瑜伽像酵母
If you put a bit of curd in milk, the yeast will transform the milk into curd.
假如您放一些凝乳在牛奶，酵母將會將牛奶轉變成凝乳
You can take your curd to any country, put it into milk and it will happen.
您可以拿著凝乳到任何國家,放入牛奶會發生一樣的變化
- But the curd will always taste a bit different.
但凝乳嚐起來總是會有一點不一樣
The yeast is the same, but the milk changes.
酵母是一樣的,但牛奶會變化
Likewise, Ashtanga Yoga has a different flavour everywhere, but it is still Ashtanga Yoga.
八支瑜伽在每ㄧ個不同的地方亦有不一樣的風格,但祂仍是八支瑜伽

推廣八支瑜伽到西方世界的道路

The way Ashtanga Yoga took hold in the western world
推廣八支瑜伽到西方世界的道路

Andre van Lysbeth, Norman Allen, David Williams, Nancy Gilgoff are just some of the people who have helped introduce Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga to the West.
在一些人如:Andre van Lysbeth, Norman Allen, David Williams, Nancy Gilgoff 的幫助及介紹下,八支串聯瑜伽推廣到西方世界
In 1964 Andre van Lysbeth, a Belgian, found his way to Pattabhi Jois' small Yoga Shala in Mysore.
在1964年比利時人Andre van Lysbeth在Mysore發現Pattabhi Jois' 小的Yoga Shala
Already quite into Yoga and knowing Sanskrit very well, van Lysbeth became interested in this ancient system, and spent two months to studying the primary and intermediate series with Pattabhi Jois.
他早已進入瑜珈修練領域且梵文佳,van Lysbeth對此古老瑜珈系統有興趣,就花了2個月的時間和Pattabhi Jois學習第一級及第二級
Among the many books he wrote in later years, there was one called "Pranayama", which he wrote just after his time with Jois and which included a photo of the guru along with his name and address.
過幾年他寫許多書,有一本"呼吸控制法"的書,因他剛完成與 Jois 的課程,故書中包含了大師的相片且註明其姓名與住址
Thus the name Pattabhi Jois slowly spread in the western world, but mostly in Europe.
因此Pattabhi Jois 的名字慢慢的在西方世界傳開,其中大部分是在歐洲
Many of the first people that travelled to India to meet Jois came from there.
從此已開始有許多人旅行至印度去與Jois 學習瑜珈
The first American to study with Pattabhi Jois was Norman Allen in 1973.
在1973年第一位美國人Norman Allen 與Pattabhi Jois 學習瑜珈
He had been watching a Yoga demonstration given by Manju Jois, Pattabhi's son, at Swami Gitananda's Ashram in Pondicherry.
他在Pondicherry的Swami Gitananda's Ashram 看過Pattabhi的兒子Manju Jois的瑜珈示範
Impressed by this demonstration, he set out to study the system.
他對其示範印象深刻,他開始學習此系統
A little later David Williams and Nancy Gilgoff arrived at the small Yoga-Shala in Mysore.
過不久David Williams 和 Nancy Gilgoff 也抵達Mysore的小Yoga-Shala
In 1975, they invited Pattabhi Jois to give a workshop in California, USA.
在1975年他們邀請Pattabhi Jois 到美國加州舉辦研習營
Only about ten or fiteen people were at that first workshop, a far cry from the hundreds that attend his workshops today.
此研習營只有10或15人參加,與今日舉辦的研習營有數百人相差天壤之別
On that trip Manju Jois who had joined his father in America, decided to stay to teach the traditional technique of Ashtanga Yoga there.
在此段行程Manju Jois 和他的父親一起到美國,他決定繼續留在美國教傳統的八支瑜伽
As time went by and Ashtanga Yoga became more known in the west, Pattabhi Jois was invited for workshops not only to the USA but also to Brazil, England and many other countries.
隨著時光八支瑜伽在西方世界變的越來越有名,Pattabhi Jois 被邀請至美國也到巴西,英國及其他國家
Nowadays Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga has grown to become one of the worlds most known Yoga systems.
直到今日八支串聯瑜伽已變成世界知名的瑜珈系統之ㄧ
You can find Ashtanga Yoga classes all around the world.
您可在全世界均找到八支瑜伽的課程
Stars like Madonna and Sting say that they to follow this ancient practice, something which has increased the popularity of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga even more.
瑪丹娜與史汀明星也練習此系統,更增加了八支串聯瑜伽的知名度

傳統八支瑜伽繼續存在的根本

The roots of the living tradition of Ashtanga Yoga
傳統八支瑜伽繼續存在的根本
The tradition of Ashtanga Yoga is a living one.
八支瑜伽繼承傳統繼續存在
It goes back from Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, Sri Tirumali Krishnamacharya, to Patanjali and Vamana Rishi.
從Sri K. Pattabhi Jois大師開始回溯到Sri Tirumali Krishnamacharya到Patanjali及Vamana Rishi
At its source you will find Lord Vishnu.
溯及本源將發現毗濕奴Vishnu神
The way Sri K. Pattabhi Jois teaches Ashtanga Yoga today is exactly the way he learned it from his guru Krishnamacharya.
Sri K. Pattabhi Jois 現今傳授的八支瑜伽系統和其從Krishnamacharya大師所學的瑜珈系統是相同的
Pattabhi Jois met Krishnamacharya in 1927, studied with him for over 25 years and learned Ashtanga Yoga during this time.
Pattabhi Jois在1927遇Krishnamacharya大師和他學習八支瑜伽超過25年
(reported from Pattabhi Jois, February 2004 摘錄自2004/02 Pattabhi Jois)

Pattabhi Jois wrote a small book, called "Yoga Mala" (Mala = garland), about Ashtanga Yoga from 1958 to 1960.
Pattabhi Jois寫一本小書,書名為"瑜珈精選",是寫從1958-1960間的八支瑜伽
It was published in India in 1962, by one of his students, a coffee planter from Coorg.
本書在1962年出版,由其來自於Coorg種植咖啡的學生出版
The first English translation was published in 1999 by Eddie Stern, an senior student of Pattabhi Jois, in the United States.
第一份的英譯本在1999年由Eddie Stern出版,Eddie Stern是Pattabhi Jois的資深學生美國人
It is still available.
這本書在市面上仍可購得
This book was finished long before the first western student (the Belgian Andre van Lysbeth) came to Pattabhi Jois in 1964.
這本書在很久以前就完成,由比利時人Andre van Lysbeth,他在1964年成為Pattabhi Jois第一位西方的學生
So the book contains a very pure and authentic Ashtaga Yoga.
故這是一本很純正及值得信任的八支瑜伽書
(Yoga Mala瑜珈精選)

If you follow the Ashtanga Yoga tradition one step further back from Pattabhi Jois, you come to Sri Tirumali Krishnamacharya.
若您從Pattabhi Jois更深的追尋八支瑜伽的傳統,其結果是Sri Tirumali Krishnamacharya
This great sage and yogi travelled to the Himalayas around 1916 to learn Yoga.
他是偉大的聖哲及瑜珈修行者,在1916到喜馬拉雅山脈學習瑜珈
There he met his guru Rama Mohan Brahmachari, and spent seven and a half years living with him, learning the Ashtanga Yoga system.
他遇到Rama Mohan Brahmachari大師,學習八支瑜伽系統7年半
In that time he learned (beyond some other scriptures) the "Yoga Karunta" by heart.
在那段時間他學習且記住一本超越其他經典的書-Yoga Karunta
This ancient manuscript is the basis on which the Asana -, Vinyasa - and Bhanda - System of Ashtanga Yoga is founded.
這本古老的抄本基本在探討體位法,串聯動作及能量收束法-八支瑜伽的系統也根據此建立
He also learned the Yoga Sutra, which ise the spiritual and philosophical foundation of Ashtanga Yoga.
他也學習瑜珈經-此經典是八支瑜伽的精神及哲學的基礎
(reported from Pattabhi Jois, February 2004 摘錄自2004/02 Pattabhi Jois)

After Krishnamacharya left his guru around 1924, he began searching for the Yoga Karunta.
1924年Krishnamacharya離開他的大師,他開始尋找Yoga Karunta這本經典
After a great deal of effort he finally tracked down a copy at the Calcutta University library.
在多方努力的追蹤下,在Calcutta大學的圖書館發現一本複製本
Unfortunately, soon after he found it, the book got badly damaged by ants and Krishnamarchaya wasn't able to preserve it.
但不幸的,在他發現此書不久,此書被蟲啃咬損傷嚴重,Krishnamarchaya無法保留此書
So it may be impossible to verify its authenticity.
因此已不可能被確認其純正性
"Karunta" means "groups" and it is said that its text contained the exact groupings of Asana.
"Karunta" 的意思是'集合"亦即此書是體位法的精選集
Everything about Vinyasa, Bhanda, Drishti, Asana and the whole six sequences as they are taught up to now was contained within this manuscript.
一直延續至今的教學體系均在此抄本,其內容包含串聯動作,能量收束法,凝視點 體位法和整個6級系列
The "Yoga Karunta" thus forms the foundation of the practical part of Ashtanga Yoga.
"Yoga Karunta" 是形成八支瑜伽實際修練部分的基礎
(reported from Pattabhi Jois, February 2004 摘錄自2004/02 Pattabhi Jois)

The "Yoga Karunta" is attributed to the sage Vamana Rishi.
Vamana Rishi聖哲寫下"Yoga Karunta" 經典
He is said to have come to earth when Ashtanga Yoga was forgotten, and a sage was needed to bring it back to mankind.
當八支瑜伽被遺忘須有一位聖哲將祂帶回人間
Vamana Rishi incarnated for this task and learned the whole Ashtanga Yoga system from lord Vishnu while in the womb of his mother.
Vamana Rishi為了其學習源自於毗濕奴神的八支瑜伽系統任務,投胎在其母親的子宮內化身為人
After the normal time of pregnancy was over, Vamana was still not finished with his learning.
在正常的懷孕期結束後,Vamana仍未學成
According to legend, he refused to be born until he had finished his studies of Ashtanga Yoga.
根據傳說,他拒絕出生,一直到他學成八支瑜伽才出生
(reported from Pattabhi Jois, February 2004 摘錄自2004/02 Pattabhi Jois)

The "Yoga Sutras" are not hard to find.
瑜珈經較易取得
They are available in many translations and commentaries.
可買到有許多的譯本及註解本
According to Western research the "Yoga Sutras" were written between 400 and 200 B.C..
根據西方學者研究瑜珈經約在西元前400-200年寫成
Hindu mythology dates them much earlier, about 10 000 B.C..
印度神話記載則更早在西元前10000年
The "Yoga Sutra" is the primary text of the science of classical yoga, in which the author, Patanjali, collated and systematized the existing techniques and knowledge of Yoga.
瑜珈經是古典瑜珈專門技術的主要文本,由其作者Patanjali整理及系統化瑜珈的技術及知識而成
The Yoga Sutras definie Yoga as: "yogash citta-vrtti-nirodha", which means: "Yoga is calmness of waves in the mind."
瑜珈經定義瑜珈為: "yogash citta-vrtti-nirodha", 其意思為"瑜珈是靜心"
Only with a calm mind can the true nature of being be experienced.
只有一顆平靜的心靈才能體驗真正的本質
To achieve this aim, the path described in the Yoga Sutras is made up at eight limbs:
為了達此目標,瑜珈經將此修練道路分為八支組成
Yama (moral observance) 道德誡律
Niyama (inner integrity) 精進
Asana (postures) 體位法
Pranayama (breath control) 呼吸控制法
Pratyahara (sensory withdrawal) 攝心
Dharana (concentration) 凝神
Dhyana (meditation) 入定
Samadhi (contemplation) 三摩地
This eight limb way to a calm mind gave Ashtanga Yoga its name.
八支瑜伽的命名來自此平靜心靈的八支方法(Ashta = Eight八; Anga = limb分支; Yoga = Calmness of waves in the mind靜心)
(Yoga Sutras瑜珈經)

Patanjali, the author of the "Yoga Sutras" is said to have been incarnation of Adisesa, the serpent protecting Lord Vishnu.
瑜珈經的作者Patanjali傳說他是毗濕奴神的護身蛇Adisesa轉世為人
Lord Vishnu sleeps on him in the ocean of being.
毗濕奴神沉睡在其所屬的海洋
Patanjali was born to a woman named Gonica, a very sinecures yogini.
Patanjali的母親Gonica是一位全職的瑜珈修行者
As she was offering her prayer to the Sun God Surya, a small snake appeared in her hands and took human form.
當她向太陽神Surya禮拜祈禱時,一條小蛇出現在她的手且化為人形
It asked Gonica to accept Patanjali as her son.
祂要求Gonica接受Patanjali 當她的兒子
She followed its wish and named him Patanjali, a discription of the way he was born; "fallen prayer"
(Pata = fallen降下; anjali = prayer祈禱者).
她答應了將祂命名為Patanjali,形容祂的出生"天降的祈禱者"
(a quite common Hindu tale摘錄自印度神話故事)

But the roots of the Vinyasa System of Ashtanga Yoga can be found much earlier.
但八支瑜伽的串聯動作系統,可更早被發現
They reach back to the first written documents of mankind - the Vedas.
研究發現在吠陀 第一本被人類寫成的經典內已有記載
There are four Vedas: The Rigveda, the Yajurveda, the Samaveda and the Atharvanaveda.
有四種吠陀 :梨俱吠陀,夜柔吠陀,沙磨吠陀及阿闥婆吠陀
Two contain hints about the Asthanga Vinyasa Yoga practice and to the Vinyasa system.
兩種內容暗示包含八支串聯瑜伽的串聯動作系統
The first to be written was the Rigveda, which is believed to date back to 8000 BC.
第一次約在西元前8000年寫於梨俱吠陀
Yajurveda came a bit later, but is still a very ancient text.
夜柔吠陀較晚出現,此仍為是很古老的經典
In both you can find explanations of moving and breathing, especially in Suryanamaskara.
特別在拜日式亦可發現動作與呼吸的解釋
The physical and spiritual benefits are also detailed.
身體及心靈的受益亦被詳載
In Yajurveda there is a mantra called Aruna Mantra, which puts the Vinyasa Count for Suryanamaskara A at nine.
在Yajurveda有一Aruna 祈禱梵咒將拜日式 A 的串聯動作數定為九
In the Maha Saura Mantra of Rigveda the Vinyasa count of Suryanamskara B is numbered through to seventeen - just as it is now.
在Rigveda的Maha Saura 祈禱梵咒將現今的拜日式 B 的串聯動作數定為十七
(reported from Pattabhi Jois, February 2004摘錄自2004/02 Pattabhi Jois)

勝利呼吸法、能量收束法、凝視法：「八支串聯瑜伽」的三大基石

在開始「八支串聯瑜伽」練習之前，有一個非常要緊的重點要注意：它並非印度式的有氧運動！那種健康、有力而美麗的身材，只不過是小副產品罷了。
在「八支串聯瑜伽」體系裡頭，有一些基本技巧可以把體育鍛鍊轉換成靈性的操練。幫你進入能有意識的覺知及導引生命能（prana，宇宙能量）的神秘世界。這些精細的技巧，比那些練健美的還更重要。練這些看不見的才算是瑜伽！
而「八支串聯瑜伽」中，有下列這些看不見的重點要練：
1.勝利呼吸法
2.能量收束法
3.凝視法
4.串聯動作
5.體位法

Ujjayi, Bandha and Drishtis make the foundation of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga
Before you start your Ashtanga Yoga practice there is one very important point to mention: Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is not hindu aerobics!

A healthy, powerful and beautiful body is merely an unimportant side effect of Ashtanga Yoga.
There are some fundamental techniques in the Ashtanga Yoga system which transform a physical exercise into a spiritual practice.

Tools which can help you enter a mystic world in which Prana, the universal energy, can be felt and directed consciously.

These subtle techniques are much more important than the powerful body workout.

Yoga is what you can't see!

This invisible foundation of Ashtanga Yoga is based on the following aspects:
Ujjayi Pranayama (= breathing) Ujjayi Pranayama is a special breathing technique. It is a method to get unlimited access to Prana (=universal energy)....
Bandha Bandha names a technique which works like a valve for Prana (= Energy)....
Drishti Drishti is a point of gaze or focus....
Vinyasa Vinyasa means union between breath and movement....
Asana Asana is the most visible part of the Ashtanga Yoga practice and is commonly known as the "Yoga position". ...

勝利呼吸法
勝利呼吸法是一獨特的呼吸技巧與方法，它接通了無限的生命能（宇宙能量）。
演練此法，最先就可感覺出身體發熱。雖據說依這種呼吸術，可以起拙火溶化週遭的冰雪。但這技巧卻也給了你足夠內在能量，來應付那些似乎不可能的體能要求。作出高難度的瑜伽體位，在在要耗用大量的肌肉精力。而肌肉系統獲取精力所需能量即來自生命能，且勝利呼吸法就能給他們足夠的生命能。
勝利呼吸法乃透過鼻孔緩慢的呼吸：約四到五個心跳間隔吸氣，並約四到五個心跳間隔吐氣。這樣在你喉嚨產生低柔溫和的聲音，就像內在海洋的浪濤拍岸聲，隨著呼吸起伏著。只要傾聽這一節奏，你便能沉靜地漂浮過整個瑜伽套路。
此法將成為你辨認鍛鍊品質的最好指標，過於急促地呼吸聲，表示做的過於猛烈；反之，過於疲軟無力的呼吸聲，則表示當時過於渙散了。把剛、柔、快、慢間，把持得恰到好處，即可進入動禪的境界。

Ujjayi Pranayama (= breathing)
Ujjayi Pranayama is a special breathing technique. It is a method to get unlimited access to Prana (=universal energy).
Performing it, heat may be your first sensation. It's said, that by this breathing, Yogis can create enough heat to melt snow around them. But this technique also gives you inner energy to master impossible seeming physical efforts. Doing demanding Yoga positions can bee just seen as an result of an huge amount of muscular stamina. But the muscular system gets it s energy for this stamina from Prana and Ujjayi Pranayama gives this Prana to them.
Ujjayi breathing means breathing slowly through your nostrils - about 4 to 5 heartbeats in and about 4 to 5 heartbeats out. Doing this you create a soft and gentle sound in your throat, just like the waves of an inner ocean floating to the coast You hear the same sound inhaling and exhaling. Just listen to this rhythm. You can ride on it gently through your entire practice of Ashtanga Yoga.
The Ujjayi Pranayama will become a guide to tell you about the quality of your practice. A too forceful breathing may point you to a too forceful practice - . a too sleepy and unfocused to an too sleepy and unfocused practice. Keeping the right balance between hard and soft, fast and slow means going in moving meditation.

能量收束法（以下簡稱收束法）
「收束法」係稱一項具有水閘門般的功能，用來控制生命能的技巧。
瑜伽哲學中說，人的精細體有（三）脈、有（七）輪。所以，微妙的收束法要成就，很顯然是肉體動作並非主角，重心卻在純粹的心力貫注上。為控制不同內氣，而有不同的收束法。在八支串聯瑜伽中，有「會陰收束法」及「收腹收束法」
兩個最重要的收束法。
會陰收束法
會陰收束法，意指骨盤腔底層肌肉的收縮。
會陰收束法，導氣到脊椎末端的海底輪。
會陰收束法，讓你與「地大」元素連結。
會陰收束法，賜給你堅固性與穩定性。
開始學會陰收束法，可以一方面像忍大便一樣收縮肛門；一方面像忍小便一樣收縮尿道。但正確的位置，卻在前後陰之間。這需要長時間去揣摩，所以初學者只要夾肛縮臀即可。若要進一步了解會陰肌群，則可練習凱格爾運動。這是凱格爾醫生為產後婦女設計，用來調整骨盤腔底層肌肉的動作。這套訓練包括小便時，多次瞬間停止、再排尿的動作來鍛鍊會陰肌群。
剛開始要集中在會陰是很難的，而且收束法不易持久；但長時間的練習之後，你便可不難地優游在整個瑜伽套路之間了。
收腹收束法
收腹收束法，係指在呼氣吸氣時，收小腹讓胸腔產生真空而言。
它的梵文字面意思是「飛躍」。
收腹收束法，把生命能提升匯入你的脊骨。
收腹收束法，讓你與「風大」元素連結。
收腹收束法，賜給你輕安且幫你克服重力。
收腹收束法，保護你的下背、拉伸脊骨並且防止下背過度的後彎。
開始學收腹收束法，可以依下列練習：
吐氣，徹底把肺部殘餘的空氣都排清。兩手放在膝蓋上，然後鎖住喉頭、張開肋骨。就像要吸氣一樣，但不讓空氣進來。如此，胸部就會產生真空，肚子便深度上提。繼續停止呼吸，再吸腹貼脊、深入去體會這動作。直到憋不住了，才開始吸氣，並放鬆腹部。如果這樣練起來已輕鬆愉快了，就可以在呼吸之間，加入這種讓胸腔真空的動作，但不需太極端只要輕微的做即可。請注意，練收束法時腹部肌肉是鬆軟的、一點也沒有使力。
長時間的練習之後，收腹收束法將會變成你的一部分。在你做套路練習時，從頭到尾要一再的運用此法，尤其是企圖讓身體懸空的時候。

Bandha
Bandha names a technique which works like a valve for Prana (= Energy).
The Yoga philosophy describes Nadis (= energy channel) and Chakras (= energy centres) in the subtle body. So it is clear that Bhanda indicates a very fine technique, only partly achieved by physical action but mainly by pure concentration. There are some different Bandhas for different regulations in the pranic flow. For Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga this two are most important: Mulabandha and Uddiyana Banda.

Mulabandha
Mulabandha means contracting the pelvic floor.

Mulabandha leads the energy to the lower end of your spine - to Muladhara Chakra.

Mulabandha connects you with earth-energy.

Mulabandha gives you firmness and steadiness.
You can learn Mula Bandha on the one hand by contracting the anus as if you want to stand from going to the toilet, on the other hand by contracting the genital sphincter like inhibiting peeing. The proper position of Mulabandha is just between this two actions. It needs some time to get the necessary awareness of the perineal muscles. So in beginning just contract your anus. If you need an additional help to get more focus of your perineal muscles use an technique named after Keigel. He invented it for woman after childbirth to tune their pelvic floor again. His training is done while urinating by engaging the perineal muscles to stop the flow of urine and releasing it a view times.
In the beginning it is hard to keep concentration and Mulabandha may waver but with practice you will be able to hold it for your entire Ashtanga Yoga session.

Uddiyana Bandha
Uddiyana Bandha means suck in the lower abdomen by creating an vacuum in your chest while breathing in and out.

Translated wordly Uddiyana Bandha means "flying upward".

Uddiyana Bandha arises the Prana upward in your Spine.

Uddiyana Bandha connects you with air-energy.

Uddiyana Bandha gives you lightness and helps you to come over gravity force.

Uddiyana Bandha also protects your lower back, keeping the spine long and preventing against too much backward bending in the lower back.
To learn Uddyana Bandha you can tag on the following exercise: Breath completely out and press even the last bit of the air out of your lungs. Place your hands on your knees. Then close your throat while expanding your chest. Just like trying an inhalation but not letting any air in through your throat. Through this method an vacuum in your chest is created an your abdomen will be sucked in deeply. Hold your breath this way for a while trying to get your belly even deeper in and to get more feeling of the action. Before the next inhalation swallow once and release your belly first. If you are completely conformable with this technique you can start and try creating such an vacuum, only slighter, during breathing. Please notice, that absolutely no muscular contraction in the abdomen is needed for this Bandha.
With practice Uddiyana Bandha will become very natural. It just happens more and more all the time during your practice. - Especially when you try to lift your body up in the air.

串聯動作
串聯（vinyasa），意指呼吸跟動作間的聯合。每個動作都是由呼氣或吐氣所帶動。你移動的時間，等於你呼吸的時間。身體依從這自然的節奏。
在八支串聯瑜伽的傳統裡，每一瑜伽姿勢（體位）的進入及離開都以排定的某些動作串聯起來，一動一動的唱喊數字。所以，每一體位都有設定好的若干串聯動作組來進入或離開。（這些數字名稱列於網頁上的「體位-串聯-指南」）
因此八支瑜伽成為一樣非常精確的練習。始終以套路方式做同樣的動作組，有兩個良好的理由：
◎瑜伽行者相信有一個能量場浸透萬物。所做每一動作，皆會影響此一能量場。

所以你可想像透過古老的八支瑜伽練習，這種能量的衝擊，其力量有多麼的大！

成千上萬的瑜伽行者幾千年來每天都鍛鍊同樣的動作！

藉著瑜伽練習，你便可感受到所進入的這一能量場。

就透過練習，磁場就強到夠你一個串聯接一個串聯不斷的向前行。

◎每天以相同的次序、相同的動作練習，會讓你的頭腦特別的厭離。所以就不會還傷腦筋於要操練什麼，如此才容易進入動禪。

只管住呼吸控制法、收束法、凝視法、串聯動作及體位法，而不要起妄念！

練習八支串聯瑜伽時，並非所有來自和返回站立姿勢的串聯動作都要做。

雖然按這方式唱數，但在所有姿勢之間、甚至相同卻左右不同邊的姿勢之間，都有某些配合的串聯動作。通常推回來「狗向下式」(下犬式)。（詳細內容請看網頁上的「體位-串聯-指南」，所作串聯動作以粗體字表示；只唱數的，以細字表示）

◎如你所知，在本瑜伽體系中有許多的串聯動作、而體位姿勢僅作短暫的停留。

這對來自其他不同瑜伽派別的人，有時會感覺奇怪。

他們可能想說：「為什麼看到的總是體位法之間的這些串聯動作？」這實在是有所誤解！

我們並非在體位之間插入串聯動作，而是串聯動作中做體位。

體位等於串聯動作流暢套路中的定格暫停。
1.許多體熱係透過這串聯動作產生。

我們了解，人體就像玻璃，冷卻的玻璃不堪一折即碎；但在高溫燒炙下卻很容易彎它。

同樣道理，在身體無足夠溫度下要做瑜伽姿勢，便容易拉傷。
有時在八支瑜伽計數系統中，由吸氣開始後接兩個串聯動作。

若動作太長無法一次吸氣或吐氣完成，有時只接一個。

那樣通常會造成紊亂，所以請注意：每一串聯動作以吸氣或吐氣開始演練，但有時會延長較多次呼吸。

那種增加的呼吸也是傳統系統的一部分。（在「體位-串聯-指南」中，以括號列示）
八支瑜伽是一非常簡化的系統，所有進入及離開一體位都未稱名、只唱喊數字。

所以頭腦不用掛念名稱問題。

每一數字表示一個新的串聯：一個新動作與一個吸氣或吐氣的配合。

傳統上都以下列神聖的梵文數目字表示：
EKAM = 1

DVE = 2

TRINI = 3

CATVARI = 4

PANCHA = 5

SAT = 6

SAPTA = 7

ASTAU = 8

NAVA = 9

DASA = 10

EKADASA = 11

DVADASA = 12

TRAYODASA = 13

CHATURDASA = 14

PANCADASA = 15

SODASA = 16

SAPTADASA = 17

ASTADASA = 18

EKONAVIMSATIH = 19

VIMSATHI = 20

EKAVIMSATIH = 21

DVAVIMSATIH = 22

TRAYOVIMSATIH = 23

CATURVIMSATIH = 24

PANCAVIMSATIH = 25

SOVIMSTIH = 26

SAPTAVIMSATIH = 27

ASTAVIMSATIH = 28

Vinyasa
Vinyasa means union between breath and movement. Every movement is lead by an inhalation or exhalation. The time you move, is the time you breathe. Your body follows this natural rhythm.
In the tradition of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga every Yoga-Posture (=Asana) is entered and left in an certain defined order of Vinyasa movements - counted through from standing to standing. So every Asana has an defined number of Vinyasa movements to enter and to leave it. (This Numbers are named in the Asana-Vinyasa-Guide on this web page.) So Ashtanga Yoga becomes a very precise practice. Always doing the same movements with two good reasons: Yogis believe that there is an energy field penetrating everything. Every action done influences this energy field. So you can imagine how powerful the energetic impingement through the ancient Ashtanga Yoga practice is. Thousands of Yogis doing the same movements every day for some thousand years! - You can feel this energetic field you enter with your Yoga practice. A field strong enough to carry you on and on from vinyasa to vinyasa right through your practice.
Doing every day the same movements in the same order is extraordinary boring for your mind. So it can't be distracted to much by what you are doing and you enter easily an moving meditation - only Pranajama, Bandha, Drishti, Vinyasa and Asana but no thinking!
During the practice of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga not all of the Vinyasa movements from and back to the standing position are done. - They are just counted this way - But between all positions, and even between the different sides of one position there are some certain Vinyasa movements. Normally up and back to the downward facing dog position. (For detail just have a look to the Asana-Vinyasa-Guide on this web page the Vinyasa movements done are printed in bold letters, the ones just for counting are narrow lettered.) As you see, there are lots of Vinyasa movements in the Ashtanga Yoga practice and only short periods of static during the Asanas (= Yoga positions). People coming from other Yoga styles sometimes fell strange with this. They may think: "Why are there all this Vinyasas between the Asanas?" But this feeling is based on a misunderstanding. In Ashtanga Yoga we don't do Vinyasas between Asanas, but Asanas between Vinyasas. The Asanas are pauses between the steady flow of Vinyasa. Lots of heat is created through this Vinyasa movements. The Ashtanga Yogi sees the human body like glass. If you want to bend glass while it is cold, it will break. But if you get glass hot enough it will bend easily. The same it is with the human body. If you want to do Yoga positions with no heat, you might hurt yourself.
Sometimes in the counting system of Ashtanga Yoga there are two following Vinyasas both lead by an inhalation. Or one Vinyasa which has an too long movement for only one inhalation or exhalation. That often leads to confusion. So notice: Every Vinyasa has one inhalation or exhalation to LEAD the position but sometimes some more breathing to do it. Those additional breathings are as well part of the traditional system. (In the Asana-Vinyasa-Guide they are printed in brackets.)
Ashtanga Yoga is a very simple system, so all the Vinyasas to enter and leave an Asana (from standing to standing) are not named but just counted through. So the mind has no names to worry about. Every number indicates an new Vinyasa, an new movement in union with an inhalation or exhalation. The counting traditionally is performed in the holy language of Sanscrit: EKAM = 1
DVE = 2
TRINI = 3
CATVARI = 4
PANCHA = 5
SAT = 6
SAPTA = 7
ASTAU = 8
NAVA = 9
DASA = 10
EKADASA = 11
DVADASA = 12
TRAYODASA = 13
CHATURDASA = 14
PANCADASA = 15
SODASA = 16
SAPTADASA = 17
ASTADASA = 18
EKONAVIMSATIH = 19
VIMSATHI = 20
EKAVIMSATIH = 21
DVAVIMSATIH = 22
TRAYOVIMSATIH = 23
CATURVIMSATIH = 24
PANCAVIMSATIH = 25
SOVIMSTIH = 26
SAPTAVIMSATIH = 27
ASTAVIMSATIH = 28

體位法
體位法（ASANA）是八支瑜伽練習中最明顯可見的部分，一般稱之為「瑜伽姿勢」。

體位是串聯動作流暢套路中的定格暫停。

通常停五到八個勝利呼吸法，有時更長。
每一體位具有獨特的能量、獨特情緒、獨特的內涵….。

瑜伽行者說一體位隱藏著一生的經驗。

這種經驗，遠非文字所能言宣。唯有恆久的操練，你才可能體悟而成為你自己的東西。

Asana
Asana is the most visible part of the Ashtanga Yoga practice and is commonly known as the "Yoga position".
The Asana is the static pause between the flow of the Vinyasas. An break for normally 5 to 8 Ujjayi breaths, (Marked in the Asana-Vinyasa-Guide as "BR"), sometimes longer (If spezified in the Asana-Vinyasa-Guide with an number).
Every Asana has its unique energy, its emotion, its teaching... The Yogi says an Asana hides the experience of an whole live. An experience far beyond what words can catch. Just by constant practice you may understand it and make it yours.

八支瑜伽,八支串聯瑜伽, 動態瑜珈,強力瑜珈......-這些詞經常用來表示同一瑜珈系統.而什麼是八支瑜伽?
Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga became a very hip and trendy style of yoga during the past 20 years.
在過去20年來八支串聯瑜伽變成很受歡迎及流行趨勢的瑜珈形式
But it is also a very old yoga path with a tradition reaching centuries back.
但祂是從數百年來歷史悠久的瑜珈修行道路
Indeed, the practice of Ashtanga Yoga has most probably remained the same for thousands of years in the form that we still follow today.
當然,今日所修練的八支串聯瑜伽,與數千年前的形式仍是相同的
Perhaps Ashtanga Yoga has recently become so popular because the practice looks very cool and it shapes your body into something even cooler.
也許八支串聯瑜伽會受到如此的歡迎是因為修練時看起來很酷,且其雕塑一些身體使其更酷
It is true that Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is a physically demanding, more aerobic version of Yoga. 八支串聯瑜伽對身體上的要求比有氧瑜珈更嚴格
Nevertheless, its goal is far from merely developing a sexy physique.
然而,祂的目標不僅僅只是增加性感的體格
Ashtanga Yoga simply takes a more vigorous approach on Asana (= posture) and Pranayama (= breath control), which are both basic aspects of nearly all Yoga traditions.
八支瑜伽經由體位法及呼吸法的修練,自然的使身體更強健,這幾乎是傳統的全部瑜珈的基本觀點
In particular, every Asana is linked to the next one by a specific way of breathing (=Ujjayi Pranayama) and moving (= Vinyasa).
特別的是,每一體位法均明確的用勝利呼吸法及串聯動作,來連結下一體位法
The result is a gracefully flowing, animated sequence.
產生了優美的流動和生氣蓬勃的順序之成果
This "dance of the breath with the body" links things that seem to be contrary:
這"身體與呼吸共舞"的連結似乎是對立的
Power and ease are united like bride and groom.
力量和自在就如同新娘和新郎的結合
Vitality and repose come together as one.
生命力和寧靜結合為一
Endeavour and effortlessness are combined in a harmonious union.
努力精進與無礙放鬆和諧的結合
The Ashtanga Yoga Series works like a combination lock.
八支瑜伽系列的功課就如同相結合的鎖
If you do the right moves in the right order, the mind and the body automatically open up.
若您在正確的指示下正確動作,身心將自動被打開
Starting from very simple positions, the core Ashtanga practice consists of six progressively more difficult series.
從簡單的姿勢開始,八支瑜伽的核心功課含六個越來越困難的累進系列
Depending on the individual breathing rhythm, each one requires from 90 minutes to three hours to complete.
完成一次的修練約需90分鐘到3小時,視每個人的呼吸節奏而異
Thus, the beginner and the advanced practitioner can find a demanding workout suited to his potential and challenging his personal physical and mental limitations.
因此不論初學者或進階修練者,均可找到適合本身身體及心靈限制所要求的修練
Ashtanga Yoga is often touted as "a workout that can change your life - if you survive it".
八支瑜伽時常被推崇的是-若您持續其修練,祂能改變您的人生
Beginners in particular often forget that yoga is about realizing one's true nature and not about getting their feet behind their heads.
初學者尤其容易忘記瑜珈不是將腳拿到頭頂後面,而是領悟一個人真正的本質
Caught in this trap, they risk injury.
若落入此迷思陷阱,他們有受傷的風險
The body will automatically become more flexible and more powerful, but it takes time.
歷久不斷的修練身體,將會自動的變的更加柔軟及更有力度
In the course of the practice, one will become more and more aware of the true fruits of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, far beyond what mere words can describe.
修練本項課程,將會變的更加覺知真正八支串聯瑜伽的果實，這種感覺很難用言語文字表示Mental well-being, self-awareness and energetic awakening are just feeble attempts to express the nature of what one can experience.
靜心,自覺及活力能量的喚醒,這些個人經驗稍微可說明其本質
The name Ashtanga Yoga itself links the practice to a philosophical, inner and meditative tradition.
取名為八支瑜伽即是將哲學,內在及傳統的靜坐冥想練習均連結
"Ashtanga" means "eight-folded path", referring to an ancient philosophical tract, by the Indian sage Patanjali.
"Ashtanga"的意思是八支修行正道,由印度聖哲Patanjali參悟古哲學所創
As many people understand Patanjali's Yoga Sutra as a guideline for meditation, usiing this term to describe a sweaty, aerobic form of Yoga can leads to a lot of confusion.
許多人都知道Patanjali的瑜珈經是靜坐冥想修練的指導,用此經典來形容流汗,有氧形式的瑜珈可能引起許多誤解
To avoid this, some people refer to the system as Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, Power Yoga or Dynamic Yoga.
為避免此誤解有些人將此系統稱為八支串聯瑜伽,強力瑜珈, 動態瑜珈

~HI,thanks for your positive feedback about my web page.
I think it is cool if you would translate it to Chinese.
You are very welcome to translate the pages and post them on your blog.
But please mention the source with a link. ( http://AshtangaYoga.info )
If you want, I also could generate a Chinese version of the page.
(Iwould fancy this solution.)
As you might have noticed, the page http://ashtangayoga.info/ has twoflags below the menu. Clicking this flags the content can be switchedfrom English to German and vice versa.
If you do the translation itwould be easy for me to include a Chinese flag there.
If you onlytranslate parts of the page, the remaining parts will stay in thedefault language (=English).
So the translation doesn't mean too muchwork for you. - You just translate as much as you want.
Love and Light
