Teaching while Learning Yoga Most people know that the practice of yoga makes the body strong and flexible. It is also well known that yoga improves the functioning of the respiratory, circulatory, digestive, and hormonal systems. Yoga also brings emotional stability and clarity of mind, but that is only the beginning of the journey to samadhi, or selfrealization, which is the ultimate aim of yoga.

Between the material and spiritual world Pranayama is also the link between the physiological and spiritual organisms of man. At first, pranayama is difficult and requires great effort. Mastery is achieved when pranayama becomes effortless. Just as the diaphragm is the meeting point of the physiological and spiritual body, the retention of energy or kumbhaka is realizing the very core of your body. Once the external movements are controlled, there is internal silence. In such a silence there is no thought as the mind has then dissolved in the self. In the Hathayoga Pradipika, the sage Svatmarama gives a detailed description of the ways in which an individual comes to experience the elevated state of oneness with the self through the practice of pranayama. Hence, practising it is not only very difficult, but also highly absorbing. If you fail after a few cycles, be content with the knowledge that you have practised three or four cycles with awareness and attention. Do not turn away from failures, but try to accept them and learn from them. Gradually, you will be successful in your attempts and will learn to master pranayama Path to Holistic Yoga BKS Iyengar

Chakras Yogic science recognizes that spiritual health is activated by a system of chakras or “nerve” centres, said to be located within the spinal column. Cosmic energy lies coiled within these chakras and has to be awakened for self-realization. Modern technology has provided us with the means to examine the state of our bodies. But nothing has helped us discern character, personality, or the potential for goodness. The most important aspect of a human being is the part which lies between the outer skin and the innermost soul – the shakti, which includes the mind, intellect, emotions, vital energy, the sense of “I”, the powers of will and discrimination, and the conscience. These are different in every human being, and that makes us individually both mysterious and unique. In yogic terminology, the soul is called purusha shakti, while prakriti shakti or the energy of nature came to be called kundalini

Impact of yoga In his third chapter of the Yoga Sutras, Vibhuti Pada, Patanjali speaks of the effects of yoga. Although they seem exotic to our modern conciousness, they indicate the potential of the powers of human nature. These spiritual powers and gifts have to be conquered in their turn. Otherwise they become a trap, diverting the seeker from the true aim of yoga. When the soul is free from the bondage of body, mind, power, and pride of success, it reaches the state of kaivalya or freedom. This aspect is covered in the fourth chapter of the Yoga Sutras, Kaivalya Pada, the chapter on absolute liberation. The person who practises yoga regularly will not become a victim but a master of his or her circumstances and time. The yoga practitioner lives to love and serve the world. This is the essence of life. Peace within and peace without, peace in the individual, in the family unit, in society, and in the world at large.
