Xico Rodrigues
My Name is Francisco, most people call me Xico Rodrigues.
Yoga as been my companion since i am twelve years old. I found it through my Mother who obligated me to do it.
I dint really like it at first, I mean, yoga was calm and boring, but i noticed how every thing around me got better.
Now after more than 20 years, yoga is one of the most fun things i do.
After having practiced Ashtanga yoga as it is traditional in Mysore for more than 10 years i came to realize that if i wanted to continue practicing i had to learn more about the body and mind, about me and the environment .
I have developed many different ways to learn, and practice yoga depending on each persons needs. Most importantly, i came to recognize that learning is the force that requires clarity and focus but it also requires that we are detached, enjoying our time, doing things with love and having faith in us and the world around us.
In order to fully understand yoga and reach our unlimited potential, we should acknowledge every teacher that is around us, breaking through stereotypes, boxes and labels.
Besides being authorized level 2 by the SKPJ Ashtanga Yoga Institute , Msore India, I am continuously seek diferente forms of movement and meditation to learn.
Ashtanga yoga Improv method was first introduced to me by my first teacher , Tim Miller in California .
Its the method i used for many years in order to support my Ashtnaga yoga practice . Now days, after having practiced Ashtnaga yoga as it is traditional for more than 15 years, Ashtnaga yoga improv became my main practice, allowing me to develop and evolve to a much higher level.
It keeps me on track, giving me many different forms to practice and adapt to the needs of my body mind and environment. Its a always evolving practice, with main influences from the movement culture, bjj, acrobatics, rock climbing, dance and its always in direct connection to the tradition of yoga through the use of Tristhana during asana practice and the use of the Patanjaly yoga Sutras and the Vedic tradition when it comes to meditation and the search of our higher self.
