As Yoga teachers we -Yogachariya Surender and Yogacharini Sally come from a varied background and have slightly different teaching styles! You can see a little more about our specific training and experience from our website- www.ashram.yogasatsang.org . Primarily we teach Gitananda Ashtangha Yoga, also known as Richiculture Yoga.
Rishiculture Ashtanga Yoga is based on the yoga sutras of Patanjali.
‘Ashtanga’ is Sanskrit for ‘eight-limbs’ on which authentic yoga is based:
1. • Yama - Moral Observances
2. • Niyama - Ethical Observances
3. • Asana - Posture work
4. • Pranayama - Breath/ energy control
5. • Pratyahara - Sensory withdrawal
6. • Dharana - Concentration
7. • Dhyana - Meditation
8. • Samadhi - Enlightenment
Essentially our philosophy is that Yoga is most precious gift for human life originated from the Vedas, Upanishads and later on flourished through ancient teachings of Yoga-Sutra’s of Patanjali, Bhagavad-Gita, Yoga Vashishtha, Goraksha-samhita and The Hatha-Yoga Pradipika are accepted as authentic works on yoga in most traditions. Yogic teachings are considered as ‘Guru-Chela-Pramparai’ which is a means of teaching, directly from Guru a great life teacher to the Chela or sincere student.
Yoga is a world wide philosophy or way of life. Now yoga has become the synonym of asanas (postures) and few Pranamaya’s (breath work). Some are using yoga as a therapy while others use yoga as the tool of beautification, weight loss and toning the body. Yoga was most traditionally taught as a tool of inner spiritual development and awakening, this can also still be found although it is rare.
Swami Gitananda Giri Guru Maharajaji states “Yoga is the complete awareness of your body, mind, and emotions and of awareness itself”
Yoga is the holistic approach of attaining the oneness with the self and then merging the self to the Supreme Self. This is not possible by merely practicing few asanas and pranayamas. This needs the complete yogic approach. Yogic life includes the natural balanced ‘sattvik’ diet to keep us healthy, clean and peaceful. Then your thinking, emotions, attitude and life style play important role in yogic evolution. Yamas (morals) and Niyamas (ethics) are basic foundations of yogic evolution and these are not optional but compulsory. The Yamas and Niyamas are however being avoided nowadays and prove difficult to live up to in this modern world.
