Today, on ''International Yoga Day,'' the world celebrates the ancient practice of Yoga, which extends far beyond physical well-being. Originally conceptualized as ''Ashtanga Yoga'' by the revered Patanjali Rishi, Yoga aims at quietening the mind and gaining mastery over our thoughts. While the popular notion of Yoga primarily focuses on bodily postures (Asanas), it's essential to recognize that this represents only a small fraction of the comprehensive 8-fold path outlined by Patanjali. The Ashtanga Yoga scheme delineates steps from moral principles in daily life to breath control, sensory mastery, and culminating in deep meditation (called Samadhi). The ultimate goal is to absorb the meditative object into the subconsciousness, emphasizing the profound link between mental discipline and worldly effectiveness. As we commemorate #InternationalYogaDay, let's not only embrace the physical benefits of Yoga but also delve into its original purpose of enhancing mental health. Understanding the holistic essence of Yoga helps us navigate its transformative potential beyond physical flexibility, fostering a harmonious balance between body and mind. #MentalHealth 🧘♂️🌿

⭐️ How to approach breathwork in yoga. Breathwork is actually a far more advanced practice than yoga asana (posture), which although requires some level of skill and effort, operates much more on the gross physical level. Breathwork comes after posture in the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali and there is a good reason why: 👉 When the body is relaxed after a physical practice, the nervous system is ready for breathwork. Patanjali in Chapter 2.50 of the Yoga Sutra says that yogic breathing should be 'long and subtle' (dīrgha sūkṣma). To this extent, when it comes to 'advanced yoga', it is not necessarily about doing difficult postures. It's about refining the practice to work on the most subtle level. For example, by lengthening the size of the exhale breath, we can begin to find more ease. It is said that this slows the rate of the heart and induces a parasympathetic response in the body (the opposite is the case with each inhale breath). Of course, when practising breathwork one must honour their own unique respiratory rhythm, noting that at any one point in time, one's breath may feel 'short and shallow', rather than 'long and subtle'. 👉 This is actually where we can begin to bring more mindful qualities to our practice - not trying to control the breath, but working with 'what is'. 📸: Alternate nostril breathing with index and middle finger on third eye chakra (Cristolovean Cecilia). #yoga #breathwork #pranayama

Happy International Yoga Day 🕉 🧘♀️ In today's society, where our professional accomplishments often take center stage, let's take a moment to celebrate something that brings balance, peace, and a fresh perspective to our lives = YOGA As a yoga practitioner and teacher, I'm reminded of the importance of integrating wellness into our daily routines. Yoga isn't just about flexibility or strength; it's about finding harmony and union between mind, body, and soul. It's a powerful reminder that success isn't solely measured by the milestones we achieve at work but also by our ability to maintain inner peace and well-being. On this International Yoga Day, I encourage my network to pause and reflect. Take a deep breath, stretch out the stress, and embrace the calm. Let's bring this holistic approach to our lives, both personally and professionally. After all, a balanced life is a fulfilling life.

Tantra Yoga: Life Transforming, but Is It Safe? See the answer beneath: People often ask me about the safety of Tantra Yoga. Perhaps they've heard anecdotes of individuals experiencing anxiety or even being admitted to psychiatric wards after engaging in Tantric Yoga practices. Indeed, these are powerful energies to engage with. I have frequently met neo-tantric practitioners who exhibited hyper-sexuality and experienced excessive electric currents running through their bodies. The notion that one can attain awakening by attending a few weekend retreats is carries a significant risk. To practice Tantra Yoga safely, we must revisit the practices of ancient Tantricas. Awakening through Tantra Yoga is a lifelong journey that evolves from your daily practice. There are no shortcuts. At yogi-living we teach classical tantra in a safe manner that slowly and safely awakens your Kundalini energy and your mind. Even if you will not get there in this life time every step of the journey is so beautiful that it is worth every single day of your practice. Everyday you practice classical tantra yoga you are changing your life! 💕 Yogi-Living: Invite love into your life 💕
