should be steady and pleasant, leading to
relaxation and one pointed ness.

lying down position.
Do the asana on the floor as far as possible; with a
floor covering like mat, blanket, and rug or on a hard bed.

Applicable at all the levels
Body
 Mind -Emotion
 Perception-Attitude
 Personality
 Spiritual

For Asana: Remember After , performing Asana [your daily Yoga
regime] if at the end of it, if you feel
 Stressed,
 Overworked
Unhappy
Drained our
Lack of Energy
Tired /lazy to resume yr daily routine
And not
At Peace
Happy / Pleasant from within
Energetic
Ready to live your day ahead
Enthusiastic for resuming your routine
You need to pay attention
“Where are you going wrong” or something
going wrong
It may happen sometime after doing some
difficult asana from which your body is not
accustom to perform, you experience pains
and aches in that part, but you will never feel
stressed out / lack of energy from with in.
Know the difference betweenPhysical aches
And
Inner stressed out / drained out
Solution :
Listen
to your body-be Aware: observe your
self while you are doing Asana
Listen to your body, what is it trying to say
Pay attention to your inner voice-see what
is it trying to convey that you are not able to
pay attention to
See where are you going wrong not able to
follow inner instructions.
Sometimes, your body may be too tired, or
unwell to do any strenuous exercise of any
form [including asana], it requires relaxation
more /meditation more first
If, you will learn to pay attention to what your
body tries to convey to you through inner
voice, you will never go wrong in performing
asana.
Even after following the guidelines of what
your body is trying to convey, you still
continue to feel worst, check out with your
Yoga consultant / or a good Holistic Healer
But for all these, you first need to be
Attentive
Aware
Observer
100% presence [presence of mind, body, breath
all together]
every time when you do your Asana.
[Never forget incorporating 7 Keys while you
perform Asana]
This is important because,
Asana-as defined by
Maharshi Patanjali-
Yoga System –
Systematization by
Maharshi Patanjali
(600 BC.)
STHIR-SUKHASANAM
Asana refers to lack of body
•
movements [niscala] that is not
uncomfortable
[anudvijaniyam]
and provide pleasant feelings with
steadiness of body, or even attaining
the stillness of corpse.
So, if You can’t feel Pleasant, energetic from
within
What you did is not Asana /Yoga
But
Mere a body exercise.
Charm of Yogic asana is lost then.
•
Yoga An
Integrated Holistic
Approach
Not only provides a road to Attain a
Holistic Health
but also guides one to get Centered to
One’s own self• thus Attainment of Swasthata and
finally followed by
getting United to one’s own Center –
thus
Liberation /Mukti / Moksha
Diet in yoga
Sattvic food= Yogic Food
Healthy food-Healthy life
And Finally……
Personal Prayer
‘O God, May I have the maturity to
accept totally, gracefully, what I
cannot change; May I have will,
courage, honesty and sincerity of
purpose to change what I can; and May
I have the wisdom to know the
difference between what I can change
and what I cannot.’
“Yoga is a way of moving into
stillness in order to experience the
truth of who you are. The practice of
yoga is the practice of meditation - or
inner listening - in the poses and
meditations, as well as all day
long. It's a matter of listening
inwardly all the time, and then daring
enough and trusting enough to do as
you are prompted to do...”
‘I cannot define the word ‘yoga’
for you because it’s definition
differs for each & every individual
on this earth. Your own individual
experience out of it’s sincere &
routine practice will define it’s
meaning for your-self.’
Come Let us define Yoga for
Ourselves.
