6 simple steps to develop your Ashtanga yoga practice..

Dear yogis there are just 6 simple steps to make your practice alive......
  1. Listen to your body and have faith in yourself.........I learn while working with Radisson hotels...YES I CAN !
  2. Never forget alignments, wrong flow or practice of ashtanga viniyasa can cause injuries in back and knees....so please ask your teachers for correct and alternative way to do asanas......every body is a unique temple (Even many great ashtangis refer to book named light on yoga)
  3. Practice more and correct Pranayamas.....yoga monasteries in India believe pranayama as most important part of yoga.....intense breathing can unlock or open the body easily, at last breath is your real master........(read swami Vivekanand or Yoga nanda)
  4. Question your teachers about doubts...this is your right to correct knowledge...Osho referred " Patanjali said more you have doubts on yoga more you will be successful...you need to experiment to believe the truth"....No Blind faith......
  5. Practice regularly with patience and dedication, yoga is a life long non competitive practice of years.......
  6. Try to avoid excessive attachment, hatred, fears, laziness and jealousy......they will ruin you as human and at last you will be a mere gymnast.......

"If mind is the king of senses, the breath is the king of mind"- Swami Svatmaram
