YOGA: VIDEO #7 

Surya namaskara is a well-known and vital technique within the yogic repertoire. It is a practice which has been handed down from the sages of vedic times. Surya means ‘sun’ and namaskara means ‘salutation’.

It is a technique of solar vitalization, a series of exercises which recharge us like a battery, enabling us to live more fully and joyfully with dynamism and skill in action.

Surya namaskara is a series of twelve physical postures. These alternate backward and forward bending asanas flex and stretch the spinal column and limbs through their maximum range. The series gives such a profound stretch to the whole body that few other forms of exercise can be compared with it.

It is almost a complete sadhana in itself, containing asana, pranayama and meditational techniques within the main structure of the pracntice. It also has the depth and completeness of a spiritual practice.

Surya namaskara can be easily integrated into our daily lives as it requires only five to fifteen minutes’ practice daily to obtain beneficial results remarkably quickly.

YOGA: VIDEO # 3

SUKHASANA, ARDHA PADMASANA, PADMASANA, SIDDHASANA, SIDDHA YONI ASANA, SWASTIKASANA, DHYANA VEERASANA, SIMHASANA, VAJRASANA, ANANDA MADIRASANA, PADADHIRASANA, BHADRASANA

The main purpose of the meditation asanas is to allow the practitioner to sit for extended periods of time without moving and without discomfort. Only when the body has been steady and still for some time will meditation be experienced.
Deep meditation requires the spinal column to be straight and very few asanas can satisfy this condition. Furthermore, in high stages of meditation the practitioner loses control over the muscle of the body. The meditation asana, therefore, needs to hold the body in steady position without conscious effort.

In this video, we have demonstrated how to get into the following meditation asanas:

SUKHASANA (easy pose)
ARDHA PADMASANA (half lotus pose)
PADMASANA (lotus pose)
SIDDHASANA (accomplished pose for men)
SIDDHA YONI ASANA (accomplished pose for women)
SWASTIKASANA (auspicious pose)
DHYANA VEERASANA (hero’s meditation pose)
SIMHASANA (lion pose)
VAJRASANA (thunderbolt pose)
ANANDA MADIRASANA (intoxicating bliss pose)
PADADHIRASANA (breath balancing pose)
BHADRASANA (gracious pose)

Practice note: A useful suggestion to make the above poses comfortable is to be place a small cushion under the buttocks.

Caution – This is only a demonstration to facilitate practice of the asanas. It must be supplemented by a thorough study of each of the asanas. Careful attention must be paid to the contra indications in respect of each one of the asanas. It is advisable to practice under the guidance of a yoga teacher.

YOGA: VIDEO #2

Yoga asanas are specific body positions which open the energy channels and psychic centres. Asanas are classified into three groups: beginners, intermediate and advanced.

The beginners group should be performed by those who have never practised yoga before. This group consists of elementary techniques designed to prepare the body and mind for major and meditation asanas.

These practices are no way inferior to the advanced asanas and are very useful in improving physical health.

Included in this group are the pawanmuktasana series, eye exercises, relaxation, pre-meditation and meditation poses, asanas performed from vajrasana, standing asanas, surya and Chandra namaskara.

In Sanskrit these practices are referred to as ‘sukshma vyayama’, which means subtle exercise. The word ‘pawan’ means wind or prana; ‘mukta’ means release and ‘asana’ means pose. Therefore. Pawanmuktasana means a group of asanas that remove any blockages preventing the free flow of energy in the body and mind.

Pawanmuktasana is divided into three distinctive groups of asanas: the anti-rheumatic group, the digestive/ abdominal group and the shakti bandha group to release blocks.

All three groups supplement each other, stimulating and encouraging a free flow of energy throughout the body. Practitioners are advised to perfect each group before attempting the major asanas.

हास्य-योग बिना किसी कारण हंसी और प्राणायाम का मिश्रण है. कोई भी बिना चुटकुलों के, यहाँ सिर्फ हास्य व्यायामों के माध्यम से देर तक लगातार हंस सकते हैं. बच्चों की तरह मस्ती और नज़रें मिलने से हंसी वास्तविक हंसी में परिवर्तित हो जाती है और एक-दूसरे की देखा-देखी सब खुलकर हंसने लगते हैं.

Laughter Yoga is a unique concept of prolonged voluntary laughter created by an Indian physician Dr Madan Kataria in the year 1995 in Mumbai. We begin laughter as an exercise and it soon becomes contagious by eye contact and childlike playfulness.

LAUGHTER YOGA: VIDEO #21

Gibberish is a language that has no words, only sounds. It is the language that the kids speak when they are born. Gibberish meditation clears the clutter from the mind.

Laughter yoga is a unique technique by which anyone can laugh without the use of jokes, comedy or humour. We permit one joke occasionally in laughter sessions – Gibberish joke. It is the best joke in the world. After hearing it, everyone pretends to laugh like mad – rolling on the floor laughter (ROFL)!
