A Report - Experience of Relaxation in Different Parts of the Body
Swadhyaya, The Yoga
Institute Alumni Association , conducted a sharing session on Sunday 12th
August, 2012. The subject, based on the guidance of Dr. Jayadeva Yogendra, was
on “Experience of Relaxation in Different Parts of the Body.”
The members shared their experiences with various yoga
practices such as Savasana, Pavanmuktasana, Hum Sa mantra, Anulom-Vilom,
Sattvic diet, other physical activities and in keeping a relaxed attitude.
A practical session followed where all the members practiced the dynamic variation of Yastikasana, 25 times with breathing
rhythm and observed which parts of the body
were getting relaxed or tensed.
Everyone including associated members who could not attend
the meeting in person, is requested to continue this practice at home and share
experience by sending email to “swadhayatyi@gmail.com.”
Dr Jayadeva has further advised that,
“Keeping away from ordinary exciting thoughts and trying to
still it, as also of dynamic yastikasana are good ways to consciously manage
the mind. To remain one pointed in a steady state for longer time will bring
some progress”
Hence Yastikasana in static pose may also be practiced.
