The First Studio of Navakaraṇa Vinyāsa in Bali
I am very happy and excited to be the first teacher to bring the Navakaraṇa method to Bali. In the West, where I come from, it is little known even if it’s developing in Italy, Spain and France. In Asia it is widespread in China, where the method was born, thanks to its creator, Maestro Dario Calvaruso, who currently lives in Japan.
How is the Navakaraṇa Vinyāsa method different from other yoga styles?
The more you study and practice this method, the more you can understand how different it is from others. But it’s, in particular, the concept of karaṇa (unity of movement) that is unique and representative.
A unit of movement (karaṇa) has three parts: entry, stay and exit. Compared to other yoga styles, the kinesthetic sequence of the Navakaraṇa is not based on a choreography of postures, but on a choreography of compositions of “entry into posture” and “exit from posture” movements.
What is generally called static “posture” (or asana), maintained in other styles of yoga, does not exist in the Navakaraṇa, where instead of focusing on the “permanence” of the body and mind in a figure, we focus on the gesture of doing, to move and to transit in and out of a position. Therefore a pose is not an entity separate from the movement (karaṇa) but part of it.
