  • Yoga and Pilates: What’S the Difference? by Sherri R

    Yoga and Pilates: What’S the Difference? by Sherri R

    Yoga and Pilates: What’s the difference? By Sherri R. Betz, PT, GCS, PMA®-CPT Have you ever wondered… “What are the differences between Yoga and Pilates?” Someone jokingly said, “The difference between Pilates and Yoga is that in Yoga you close your eyes and think about god and in Pilates you keep your eyes open and think about your abs!” One guru said the purpose of Yoga is to become more flexible so that you could sit comfortably to meditate. Yoga certainly is more than that. I write this in trepidation of offending the beautiful Yoga and Pilates practitioners around the world. I hope to distill some of the information about Yoga and Pilates looking at some of the differences and similarities between them to help practitioners understand these popular forms of movement. My yoga practice began in Louisiana (when no one did yoga there!) at about the age of 15. At the local library, I happened to pick up The Sivananda Companion to Yoga and started trying out some of the poses and breathing. Actually, I skipped the breathing and avoided it for many years until I did my Pilates training and was forced to learn to breathe! Now I am devoted to my Ashtanga/Vinyasa Yoga practice and my Pilates work to keep my body in shape and to add a spiritual component to my life. It has been very interesting to compare a movement practice that has been around for 2000 years with one that has been around for only about 80 years. Yoga: Navasana (Boat Pose) Pilates: Teaser Common Forms of Yoga Practice in the United States: Yoga was brought to us by Hindus practicing in India.

    HINDUISM in EUROPE Stockholm 26-28 April, 2017 Abstracts

    HINDUISM IN EUROPE Stockholm 26-28 April, 2017 Abstracts 1. Vishwa Adluri, Hunter College, USA Sanskrit Studies in Germany, 1800–2015 German scholars came late to Sanskrit, but within a quarter century created an impressive array of faculties. European colleagues acknowledged Germany as the center of Sanskrit studies on the continent. This chapter examines the reasons for this buildup: Prussian university reform, German philological advances, imagined affinities with ancient Indian and, especially, Aryan culture, and a new humanistic model focused on method, objectivity, and criticism. The chapter’s first section discusses the emergence of German Sanskrit studies. It also discusses the pantheism controversy between F. W. Schlegel and G. W. F. Hegel, which crucially influenced the German reception of Indian philosophy. The second section traces the German reception of the Bhagavad Gītā as a paradigmatic example of German interpretive concerns and reconstructive methods. The third section examines historic conflicts and potential misunderstandings as German scholars engaged with the knowledge traditions of Brahmanic Hinduism. A final section examines wider resonances as European scholars assimilated German methods and modeled their institutions and traditions on the German paradigm. The conclusion addresses shifts in the field as a result of postcolonial criticisms, epistemic transformations, critical histories, and declining resources. 2. Milda Ališauskienė, Vytautas Magnus University, Lithuania “Strangers among Ours”: Contemporary Hinduism in Lithuania This paper analyses the phenomenon of contemporary Hinduism in Lithuania from a sociological perspective; it aims to discuss diverse forms of Hindu expression in Lithuanian society and public attitudes towards it. Firstly, the paper discusses the history and place of contemporary Hinduism within the religious map of Lithuania.

  • Roots of Yoga

    Roots of Yoga

    Kickstarter campaign leads to revelations about yoga’s origins Roots of Yoga The first compendium of yoga’s core texts, translated, introduced and edited by two of the world’s foremost yoga scholars James Mallinson and Mark Singleton Publishing 26th January 2017 | £10.99 | paperback There are over 2.5 million practitioners of yoga in Britain alone, but surprisingly little knowledge of yoga’s roots amongst its practitioners. Full of postures and breathing practices, but also tales of extreme devotion and imagination, Roots of Yoga is a first stop for anyone curious to learn more than they are told at their yoga class, and an indispensable resource for serious yoga practitioners and teachers. Funded by a $51,000 Kickstarter campaign (http://tinyurl.com/RootsOfYoga), this book collects together, for the first time, the core teachings of yoga in the words of their authors, rather than in the secondary versions of modern interpreters. Among the 100 original texts from 12 different languages are key passages from the Upanishads, the Buddhist and Jaina traditions, the Indian Tantras, and many other texts that are being translated for the first time. Colourful characters and their stories abound: from Puran Puri, who spent the second half of the 18th century travelling with his arms in the air as far as Malaysia, Tibet, Moscow and the Gulf (pp.119-121); to Hari Das, who in 1837 was buried alive in front of the Maharaja and various British officials, and exhumed, still living, 40 days later, having remained in the highest state of yoga (pp. 343-5); via the famous philosopher, Shankaracharya, who used his yogic power to enter and reanimate the body of a recently dead king and make love with the king’s wives (pp.424-5).
