Yoga is still a practice for many cultures so it should be respected and done the right way! thank you for sharing your culture with the world, may we all continue to be one

If you find it challenging to step forward from mountain pose to lunge you can always place blocks under the hands to create more space. You can also simply step as far forward as you're able to, then use the hands to help the foot forward into proper position. We hope this is helpful! Take care and enjoy the practice. Hari Om.

@@AkhandaYogaOfficial Great. I've been placing my hand on the calf & directing the leg forward. I have also tried kneeling first & then bringing that leg forward. Is there something that can improve one's ability to bring the leg forward unassisted over time? I notice that I move between all the other poses much more easily after daily practice. I did 6 rounds daily for 21 days.
@AkhandaYogaOfficial2 жыл бұрын
@@enehiley Namaste. That is wonderful! Sounds like you are feeling the many benefits of the practice. Bringing the foot forward smoothly can be dependent upon a number of things. The length of the arm bone, for example, may be what is preventing you from stepping the foot through without assistance. This of course cannot be changed, but you can add blocks under the hands, or continue as you are, with helping the foot forward. It could also be that we need some additional strength in the core, to lift the hips up as we tuck the knee in towards the chest to step forward. It could also be from something occurring in the hip or hip flexor that is preventing the mobility. We recommend that you simply continue to practice. The transitions will become smoother and easier over time as the body becomes accustomed to the practice. You're doing a wonderful job! Continue to practice with dedication and sincerity. Wishing you all the best. Hari Om.

Your daily Akhanda Yoga practice will help remove all that you are not. Hari Om.

And physically practices like surya namaskaar, and such other postures will be count in Hatha Yoga? Kindly clear the confusion, i am more interested in Raja Yoga..
@AkhandaYogaOfficial4 жыл бұрын
Namaste!!! Thank you for your question! Both Hatha Yoga and Raja Yoga are descriptions of paths the yogis used towards realization or liberation. Hatha Yoga is a very holistic path and has more limbs than what most people realize. According to the Hatha Yoga texts, Hatha Yoga has seven limbs: Sat Karma (cleansing), Asana (posture), Pranayama (mastery of the breath), mudra (seals), Pratyahara (mastery of the senses), Dhyana (meditation) and Samadhi (liberation). Like Raja Yoga, Hatha Yoga culminates in deep concentration (meditation) and integration or liberation. Raja Yoga is classically understood as the last four limbs of Patanjali’s eight-fold path, which are: Pratyahara (mastery of the senses), Dharana (concentration), Dhyana (meditation) and Samadhi (integration or liberation). If you look at the full eight-fold path of Patanjali, it includes steps toward meditation that share steps with Hatha Yoga’s approach. The 8-fold path starts with ethics (Yama and Niyama) and steps 3 and 4 are asana and pranayama. I hope this helps. So, in essence, in both of these some preparatory body, breath and mind processes ready you for meditation. Om!!!
