Andrei Sidersky. Biography. «Yoga 23»

Yoga today is widespread almost everywhere, it enjoys incredible popularity among women, men and even children. But few of those who are passionate about "superficial" studies know, thanks to whom the Eastern "gymnastics" has come not only to our country, but in general began to march around the world.

What led Sidersky to the hobby of yoga?

Once in Kiev in the family of ordinary engineering workers a boy was born, his surname, like his parents, was Sidersky. The biography of the future master of yoga begins in 1960. Six years after birth, the child was threatened to remain immobilized. The rapid development of curvature of the spine could lead to complete paralysis of the lower extremities.

The ills were helped by the luminaries of Ukrainian orthopedics Professor Zherdinovsky and Dr. Putilov. Sam Sidersky himself says today that their methods of therapeutic gymnastics were as good as the now popular system of genius Pilates. Classes of recreational physical training were supplemented by sport swimming, accompanied by long training "on land". By 1975, scoliosis was stopped. Sidersky was carried away by what is today called diving. His trainer, ZN Berman, who deserved more than one award in the world voyage, respected yoga and practiced many of her breathing and gymnastic elements.

Three years later, Andrei Vladimirovich Sidersky became a student at the Kiev Polytechnic Institute. Here he immediately joined the local sports club of diving lovers and for the first time faced a specialized publication on yoga, which made him realize that Indian practices have been accompanying him practically since childhood. Andrei read a lot of samizdat literature, translated foreign authors and formed his own view of miraculous techniques, many of them applying in practice.

In 1980, he became an underwater sports instructor and coach of the Atlantis University Club in high-speed swimming. Many years of experience and a rich theoretical base allowed Andrei Vladimirovich to introduce new techniques into work with wards swimmers.

How did Sidersky become a master of yoga?

Coaching Sidersky did not stand still, he in 1988 improved his skills and in parallel continued to apply in his work yogic techniques. Since 1989, he headed the department of yoga therapy at the medical center "Avicenna" in Kiev.

When the USSR collapsed, Andrei Sidersky was able to go abroad to get practical knowledge of yoga from such famous masters as V. Van Kuten and A. Farmer, who once studied with Iyengar himself. The Ukrainian yogi was also interested in the practice of oriental martial arts, comprehending the secrets of the teachings of many experts with a worldwide reputation: Sh. Remete, Chen Van Peng, Sri Indar and others.

Comprehending all the basics of "classics", Sidersky gradually, like most advanced masters, came to his own intuitive understanding of the system. Having tested absolutely everything that he studied through trauma and tension, volitional efforts and thoughtful study, he was able to create such a practical technique that could be accessible to mastering by beginners and bring them to the desired result as quickly as possible. It is the greatest attention paid to the practice of Andrei and the search for new solutions that allowed the creation of a truly adequate system oriented to modern society.

What preceded the emergence of the technique of Y23?

The first large-scale development, created by Andrei Sidersky, was a special technique for organizing underwater gymnastics for the respiratory system, called "Plavita-sadhana." For four years it has been improved. The second "child" of the yogi was "Short pranayama", designed as a warm-up from a series of short breathing exercises. This technique, after modernization in 2007, was included in the base of the "Boex" complex, which today is used by the world's greatest swimmers.

Separately for teachers of yoga and coaches, Sidersky created a purely professional methodology. All these developments spodvigli him to open in 2005, his training complex, and there was a studio yoga Sidersky, opened its doors for both beginners and professionals.

Today in this largest studio in Eastern Europe there are classes of qigong and yoga, various psycho-physical techniques are practiced. Sidersky tries in his practices presented in the classroom, as much as possible to optimize the functionality and psychoenergetic complexes.

Studio yoga, created by Andrew Vladimirovich, combines in ideal proportions fitness and highly effective oriental techniques. At the same time, classes are built in such a way that even a very busy contemporary inhabitant of a megapolis can easily fit into them.

What is the essence of the system "Yoga 23"?

Having systematized many years of experience, Sidersky came to the creation of a special practice, which, according to the author himself, was significantly different from "what we usually do".

In 2008, "Yoga 23" appeared, named for the number of exercise complexes involved in building individual and group programs. The system was further developed and expanded its base for two more years. It included training techniques of martial arts, fitness, yoga, diving and sports swimming. Unique is the fact that with the right approach, this system is able to safely provide good results in a fairly short period of time.

The essence is to recruit exercises that are matrices; And the forms that the body takes in the course of studies are original "units of code" sent to the world matrix and changing our information space. The technique is aimed at ensuring that its adjustment to each individual can help achieve the desired goal. The author emphasizes that the use of such techniques is possible only with the correct intention and observance of moral principles. Otherwise, exercise can harm not only health, but the fate of the person as a whole.

By means of those practices that Sidersky introduced into training, yoga according to his system is successfully used in rehabilitation, therapeutic and general developmental purposes.

Other developments of Sidersky in the field of yoga

For those who practice yoga at a sufficiently high level, Andrew created another system, including specialized short training, built in a certain sequence. Otherwise this project is called GYAMS or "Gymnastics of Yogis - control mini-series".

Continuing to develop "Yoga 23", on its basis, Andrei Sidersky brought a new direction YOGA 23 Fitness. This is a fairly dynamic exercise with an emphasis on a special principle of breathing. The level of complexity here is lower than in the basic program. Classes are built on the time of day - depending on their energy-information content. In training, all muscles and organs participate, which ensures the recovery of the whole organism as a whole.

What does Sidersky say about yoga?

Andrei Sidersky perceives yoga as the finest tuned system of all-round, not just bodily, development of the individual. A variety of techniques can influence the brain's work, which gives the key to controlling both consciousness and surrounding space. Other systems aimed exclusively at psychotechnics can not be so effective due to the fact that little attention is paid to physiology and energy.

To understand this principle (which was later confirmed in the writings of the ancient Naths) the work of theoretical physics helped the persistent yogi.

Yoga for Sidersky is a calling, dharma, what he does with pleasure, feeling for his purpose. He admits that the author's system can only be perfected by himself. Seeing the multitude of consequences of the illiterate application of yoga practices in modern fitness centers, Andrei Vladimirovich is trying to do everything to ensure that these negative trends were excluded.

What else does the famous yogi do?

Practice and theory of yoga and psychotronic techniques - this is not all that Sidersky is doing. Books of the yogi with world fame, though not numerous, are quite in demand among those who are interested in oriental practices. Andrei Vladimirovich published three large-scale works devoted to various aspects of hatha yoga: "The Third Revelation of Power", "Hatha Yoga" and "Yoga of Eight Circles". He also writes thematic articles and poems.

In addition to writing his own works, the master devoted much time to translating the works of P. Kelder, K. Castaneda, M. Chia, R. Bach and medieval treatises on hatha yoga.

A new kind of art or a special type of thinking?

Sidersky is known and as the ancestor of a special kind of art, designed to change and shape the surrounding space. He writes pictures consisting of geometric and color combinations, which in a certain way can influence, for example, the consciousness of a person. Such a psychotronic art, he himself is inclined to attribute to a kind of "design activity", absolutely not confused with emotions. In a similar vein, he develops sculptural compositions.

In general, such ideas are not new - they were understandable to many abstractionists. Sidersky gave his work the ultimate functionality. His psi-art is called upon to awaken in a person the hidden potential and to adjust it to the knowledge of the inner world.

Sidersky is a unique person, a genius in his way, who managed to introduce something radically new in the generally accepted system, but does not deny the achievements of the previous masters. His life is a demonstration that each person has his own destiny, embodying which, he perfects the world.
