Namaskaaram! 🙏 As a 70 year old doctor of medicine, now retired, I have two important comments if I may. I have restarted Yoga after 30 years of not practicing it regularly. Those were the days, when Ashtânga Yoga became fashionable and I practiced it without proper supervision, and hurt myself including a shoulder and thigh muscle injury, and back pain. My bad! Anyhow, here are my comments: 1. I never do Yoga now without a proper warm-up. I walk around my house three times, then I do a few minutes of a warm-up routine, including swinging the legs forward and back gently, one at a time. COLD MUSCLES DO NOT STRETCH: THEY TEAR. 2. The Surya Namaskar is always my LAST ROUTINE OF MY YOGA PRACTICE. The Standing Forward Bend, Uthânâsana, (some people call it the Pâdahasthâsana, or hands to feet pose; pâda is feet, and hastha, hands) which is the third step of the routine, can hurt the back if you forcefully keep the knees straight. THE KNEES MUST BE BENT AS MUCH AS IS NEEDED FOR EACH PERSON.
I use this video, almost daily. The instructor is excellent. Very calm, soothing voice with clear directions. Love the setting and the tweeting of the birds.
I'm in love with this channel my grandmother is a yoga teacher she teaches me and my sister yoga daily 1 hour so she tells me to learn yoga from this channel she told me she also learned yoga from this channel . After then I became an expert in yoga . She appreciates me all the time and I appreciate your channel for your help it really helped me 😊 thank u
Sivananda classes are classics. Such a grounded practice. I remain forever grateful for the training and teaching. After so many different classes, I come back to this. Om Om Shanti. PS. it is a pity that the final prayer is cut at the end.
Thank You for such an amazing yoga video for beginners. Yoga instructor is amazing. Very detailed and clear instructions. Please publish more videos with this instructor.
Wondering if any one has taken to Sivananda yoga in the management of psychopathology? There is something magical about Yoga for Mental and emotional health, and I find the spiritual component of Sivanada yoga very healing as well. Om 🙏
thank you. 40 years ago I was part of the yoga ashram community in New York and the Catskills. Then with Yogi hari in Ft Lauderdale. It is wonderful to rediscover these, my yoga roots. Jadahari.
I use this video daily, its just the perfect pace and something makes me feel that this is one of few instructors that can be trusted fully!! Thank you for this video ❤
The two breath exercise at the beginning are really work for me in relaxing and even cleaning my body. I got clear skin with out any acne after 2 weeks doing them.
Thank you so much for that video. This is the only real Yoga to me. Love the precise words and relaxing voice of that teacher. It’s like being back in Trivandrum again. Have to go there again!
the dhyana shlokas are sung so beautifully thank you for these beautiful classes. beginners please be mindful of headstand practice... warm up and try near a wall...
This is a wonderful video class! I have been following daily for a few months and it has made a tremendous difference physically and mentally. The instructor is amazing!! His each word and even the gaps between words are perfectly timed to guide you along. Over time, instead of getting bored of the same routine I started deriving even greater joy each time. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
As a graduate of the 200YTT from Sivananda in 2014, it is always a pleasure to remind us of the practice. Thank you for taking the time to create this clear and precise video, to which, reminds me of my time spent at the Ashram.
Daisie Hi, the teachers training you attended...can beginners take it? And Also after the course were you able to slowly start taking yoga classes?? Am keen . Please advise. Thanks
@@preethampooserla3933 thank you for asking. Yes, beginners can definately take the YTT (Yoga Teacher Training) at any Sivananda Centre across Canada, USA and India. It is a very intensive one month training in traditional Hatha and is much more than just learning about postures (Asanas). Breathing (pranayama), Philosophy, Meditation, Chanting and learning what the chants represent are only a small portion of the education you receive at the Ashram. It is an amazing opportunity for each individual to grow mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. I had been taking and studying yoga for 10 years prior to deciding to go to the Sivananda for training to become a yoga teacher, which is what I have been doing for the past seven years, and honestly, although intense, it was incredibly informative, thorough and enlightening!
such a beautiul practice.. feeling blessed for having come across this video..so ideal for everyday practice. arun sir is god sent. would like to see you someday in person :)
This one is exactly what I was looking for..only the last shlok part got cut...but it's okay.... Thanks sir for uploading this.. My total fitness solution😁
I'm new to yoga. I've gone through a divorce this last year and sivananda yoga has been life changing for me... I can't thank you enough for your work and this channel.
