    Is a Complete State of Mental, Physical, and Social Well

    Bobbi Misiti 834 Market Street Lemoyne, PA 17043 717.443.1119 befityoga.com POSE OF THE MONTH December 2006 Marichyasana B – This pose takes Marichyasana A a step further—you now go from working externally to open and prepare the body to working internally on the organs of the body. Marichyasana B requires the half lotus position which can be difficult to attain if you have knee instabilities, tightness in your hips, or are athletic. Patience must reign as you wait for your hip joint to slowly open up to allow the deep inner work of this posture. Method: From Downward dog hop through to Dandasana. Inhaling place your LEFT leg in half lotus, turning the sole of your foot upward and if your hip allows, moving your heel toward your navel. If you are unable to get your leg safely in half lotus you can drop the foot out of the lotus position and place it by your right buttock (see picture of Jim). With your left leg in half lotus or under your thigh, bend your right knee sliding your foot back toward your hip, allow your right hip to lift off the floor Jim as you roll forward on your sitting bones and ground your left thigh, lean forward sliding your right arm inside your leg and forward (see picture of Abby). You can stay here if you are unable to complete the final step. Leaning forward to lengthen the right waist, keep your right knee in tight to your ribs, get your body as low as possible—ideally hooking your shoulder Misty half way down between your knee and ankle, if your shoulder is close to your shin turn your right palm upward internally rotating the shoulder and reach your right arm behind you, wrap Abby your left arm around your waist and see if your right hand can clasp your left wrist or hook fingers (keeping your right palm turned upward).

    YOGA AS APPLIED PHILOSOPHY Chair person: Dr.Hemanth Bhargav Presenter: Shreelakshmi AP, Assistant Professor, Yoga Therapist Department of Integrative Medicine. NIMHANS What is YOGA? • The word yoga comes from the sanskrit root yuj, which means “to join”. • Yoga is not a religion ; it is a way of living whose aim is a healthy mind in a healthy body. • Yoga is a science of Holistic living and not merely set of asanas and pranayama. • Yoga is conscious art of self-discovery. • Yoga is an all round development of personality at physical , mental intellectual, emotional and spiritual level. Yoga Contd.. • Yoga on one hand concentrates on keeping man healthy and on other hand it is a cohesion with the physical development and good habits to keep human body healthy. • Yoga science rests on the twin principles of cultivating practises (abhyasa) that bring stable tranquillity and non attachment (vairagya). (PYS 1.12) Definitions of Yoga as per Different Ancient Texts 1.Yum Prakrityo viyogepi Yoga Ityabhidhiyate | • Distinguishing clearly between purusha (consciouness) and prakriti (matter) is yoga and establishing purusha in his own pure state is yoga. (Sankhya Darshana, Sage Kapila) 2.Yogaha Chitta Vrutti Nirodhaha || (PYS-1.2) Yoga is calming down of mental agitations (chitta vrittis). 3.Manah prashamana upayah Yoga Iti Abhidhiyate | (Yog Vashishta 3.9.32) Yoga is a skill to calm down the mind. 4.

    Yoga Sutras of Patanjali (Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali)

    Yoga Sutras of Patanjali (Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali) English version by Octavian Sarbatoare Chapter I - Awareness (samadhi) 1. Now (are presented) instructions on yoga. 2. Yoga is cessation (nirodha) of the mind modifications (cittavrittis). 3. In this way, the witness (drashta) rests in one's own essential nature (svarupa). 4. Otherwise (the witness) identifies (the experience) with (mind's) modifications (vrittis). 5. There are five modifications (vrittis) of the mind, afflicting more or less. 6. (They are) correct knowledge (pramana), incorrect knowledge (viparyaya), imagination (vikalpa), sleep (nidra), memory (smriti). 7. The right knowledge (pramana) (could be experienced by) direct perception (pratyaksha), inference (anumana) and inner inspiration (agama). 8. The incorrect knowledge (viparyaya) is what does not correspond to the reality. 9. Imagination (vikalpa) is the identification with the knowledge brought by thoughts that have no consistency with the reality. 10. Sleep (nidra) is a modification (vritti) (of the mind) that does not hold as mental content. 11. Memory (smriti) is what retains the perception experienced by the senses. 12. The cessation (of the cittavrittis) is done by (persistent) practice (abhyasa) and not- attachment (vairagya). 13. One out of these two (helpings) is the practice (abhyasa) (consisting of) being firmly established in one's own effort. 14. The practice (abhyasa) becomes firm when it is done for a long period of time without interruption and with devotion (towards the aim in sight). 15. (The other one) the non-attachment (vairagya) is that state of awareness in which the craving for sense objects (vishaya), (brought by what was) seen or heard, is under control.
