“Cakra are like the flywheels of a gigantic machine. The vinädanda has seven cakra or chambers. They are muladhãra, svadhisthana, manipuraka, anahata, visuddhi, ajna and sahasrara. As there are saptasvaras (seven notes) sa, ri, ga, ma, pa, dha, ni, in music, so also the spinal column has saptacakra to climb from bhuloka or the terrestrial world (muladhara) to vaikuntha or the abode of Vishnu (sahasrara) in order to experience the infinite and live in that state.

Antennaes pick up radio waves and transform them into sounds through radio sets. Cakra too pick up the vital energy from the breath we draw in, to be distributed throughout the body for healthy functioning of life in man. When each cakra is synchronised and made to function in unison through the disciplines of yoga, the energy of the atma flows like a river in the citra channel, through the passage of susumna, for the sädhaka to merge in the ocean of saharära. Then the sädhaka is in tune with the brilliance of atman reflecting in his true glory without the vehicles of the karmendriya, janendriya, manas, buddhi and I-ness.”

Adhomukh Svanasana with traction for cervical and back pain

BKS Iyengar said:-
For us the gadgets are like today’s intensive care unit In olden days there were only general wards and rare special wards, but not intensive care units. Science has advanced and the new electronic equipments are used for monitoring which send messages to the doctors wherever they are. These yogic gadgets, props and blankets do monitor the asana so that the doer cannot do or go wrong. The props and gadgets rejuvenate the system but never exert.
Here extension, expansion and circumduction take place without creating load on the brain or the nerves, whereas if one tries independently, exhaustion is felt before one experiences relief.
Yogis have the subjective experience and modern science has objective views of
body functions. If we can present modern views with the oriental subjective experiences, a new movement of understanding on the living body may shine forth in the 21st century. Then I am sure yoga will shine with more glory.

This is what science of yoga has given us, but somehow or other we have lost it. By the grace of God and by the grace of my guru I started finding means for people to hold on to it like a leech and I am seeing them sticking to it. From here, I hope the present generation builds further means to generate interest for the coming generation.

あんなに暑かった夏が嘘のように季節は変わり11月になりました。
のりこ先生はご家族の転勤で10月末で指導はおえられたので月曜日の10時クラスはわたしのほうで継続させていただきます。月曜日の午後の不定期クラスは限定3名のリストラティブクラスとさせていただきます。
我が家の看板犬〜ヨンソク豆柴はクラスが終わったら興味津々で地下をのぞいてます。生徒さんが上がってくると喜びすぎて嬉ション😅をしてしまいますが…。
11月もよろしくお願いします🥺
