What are Yogasanas and What They Are Not
Yogasanas are the more commonly known as ‘Yoga Postures’. When we mention the word ‘Yoga’ most people immediately think of Yogasanas. Unfortunately, this has been misinterpreted by many as stretching or other exercises. It has lost touch with its original purpose and possibility of transforming the individual to reach their true potential.
Many of us live our lives very unconsciously and get into bad habits, whether its eating too much, procrastination or just take our mind off things by using distractions such as Social Media. Unfortunately this leads to a drop in awareness which slowly leads a build up of stress and an uncontrollable mind.
How Does Yogasnasas Help?
Yogasanas can be a tool to raise our consciousness to increase awareness of how we live. Not just through training our minds but directing our energies properly and following a system which is in line with the human system. Though this will only work if it is taught and practiced properly. As this is a subtle process, even the smallest of details make a big difference.
Why Isha Hatha Yoga? Is it Different From Other Hatha Yoga?
Isha Hatha Yoga is what is known as 'Classical Hatha Yoga'. So we are able to offer Yogasanas in its classical form. This means you will learn Yogasnas in its purest form. Originally all yoga was maintained through an ancient method of transmitting yoga in a very careful way to maintain its integrity without a minute distortion. Maintaining the purity of the practice essentially means accessing the original blueprints perceived by the yogis of the yore. These are the methods they used to master their own system to go beyond their limitations. By learning these Yogasanas and receiving them through the classical method, allows that same opportunities for those who receive and regularly practice.
"There are various levels of doing asanas. You can practice asanas just physically, or more deeply, being aware of the breath, sensations, reverberations..." - Sadhguru
What is Unique About this Yogasana Workshop?
In this workshop, you will learn a carefully selected sequence (brought to you through Sadhguru’s wisdom) of Yogasanas which offer you a complete physical and spiritual practice for ultimate well-being. All the Yogasanas are offered through a delicate process with the necessary environment created for one to start getting in touch with the subtler aspects of the Yoga. When yoga is transmitted in this way the possibility of experiencing it beyond a posture in its true depth and dimension.
What Does Experience Yoga in its 'True Depth' Mean?
The experience of yoga doesn't lie in the sensations one feels in stretching the body. Though this will feel nice and one will feel relaxed, there is much more to be experienced. This can only be done by increasing your perception. You will receive the practices using a particular method which will start you on a journey of discovery. With regular practice, you will start experiencing much more profound states and become aware of the subtler aspects of your own system. This will lead to a more conscious way of living and without reacting or influenced by compulsive patterns. You will be able to live life on your terms.
