Yoga and Fatloss – Self Practice

December 11, 2020

Question: Why can’t we remember and repeat the asanas during self practise as we do with you in the class Answer: Before beginning the class, bring your mind to a neutral place from its sadness or hapiness. Then the memory is ready to collect impressions of body, mind and breath from the asana practise and the teachings and tips given in the class. Later during self-practice, you can rely on the memory and recollect the impressions. But usually, our mind doesn’t allow us to be in the present with our teacher in the class. It wanders around in the past and the future. We are physically following and copying the instructions but mentally we are in some far-off place. Later, our mind forms its own perceptions about...

Life talks by Rajeshree

Question: How should we continue self-practice during Festivals? Answer: Festivities are definitely a time for celebration, but it is also a period of overwhelming work and exhaustion for women. Each day is different for women over 40. Tiredness can seep in without any specific reason. If we are aggressive during such times, nerves are agitated and organic body gets hurt.

Intermediate Class – work on perception and intelligence

August 28, 2020

Life talks by Rajeshree

Question: Many times, we feel that we are aligned properly as per the teacher's instructions, yet we are unable to do the final asana. Why is that? Answer: We have to work on our perception and intelligence. Our perception about ourselves and people around us guides our decisions in life. For example, sometimes we perceive that our family needs our support and we work hard towards providing it just like the shoulders work to support the neck in Sirsasana. In the process, we might overburden ourselves and our loved ones just like many of us burden our neck and hurt it in Sirsasana. We need to step back and intelligently observe and reflect on our perceptions. What is your perception of your body and the asana? We need to...

Women’s Health Class – Inner fire

August 28, 2020

Life talks by Rajeshree

Question: Ma'am, What is the 'Inner fire' that you refer to in the classes? Answer: As we age, we tend to sag in our abdomen, especially women face this struggle. This is because the area becomes so lethargic that even our food does not digest well. This lethargy needs to be replaced with the digestive fire. Just 3 minutes of Suryanamaskar every day, the simple traditional asanas that we do in class and eating light and early dinners help us ignite the fire within and maintain our body weight. Lethargy and dullness are a trait of Tamasic nature. We must convert this into something more positive. Exhaling a bit more in our asanas help us with it. When we use our breath in asana practise, we systematically open the muscles and nerves, and this is where you...

Women’s Health – Bring stability

August 25, 2020

Life talks by Rajeshree

Question: In asana practice how to bring about stability in our body? Answer: The rainy weather may tend to make our body very lethargic. So, it’s vital to focus on flexibility and extensions with breath awareness. There are certain energy points in our body. In this weather, we focus on and activate the energy point located at the lower abdomen area by lengthening and widening the lower abdomen, and thighs. The lower body is the base of our body which helps us with grounding and stability. Our 3 organs of actions (the leg and 2 excretory organs) are located here. Dullness and inactivity disturb the balance in the lower abdomen. Any issues like digestive problems, menstrual problems, anxiety, mood swings, indecisiveness are symptomatic for unstable lower body leading to...
