A Report - Experience of Relaxation in Different Parts of the Body

Swadhyaya,  The Yoga Institute Alumni Association , conducted a sharing session on Sunday 12^th 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.
