Why So Many Pranayamas?

Just as different asanas address different muscles, organs, nerves, and systems, different pranayamas exist because human beings are not the same.

Our environments, temperaments, constitutions, health, and states of mind are constantly changing.

Pranayama evolves to meet these changing conditions—physically, mentally, intellectually, and spiritually.

Classical texts describe four stages of pranayama:
1️⃣ Arambha – The beginning
Interest awakens. Effort is intense. The body trembles, sweat appears, impatience arises.

2️⃣ Ghata – Integration
The body becomes like a baked pot—stable and resilient.
The kosas and sariras begin to work as one.

3️⃣ Parichaya – Intimate knowledge
Through breath, the practitioner gains insight into self, gunas, and karma.

4️⃣ Nispatti – Consummation
Effort ripens. Karma is burnt. One moves toward freedom and inner ecstasy.

👉 Pranayama is not about controlling breath.
It is about refining the practitioner.

💬 Which stage resonates with your current practice?

✨“When performing a pose, you have to find out whether your body has accepted the challenge of the mind, or whether the mind has accepted the challenge of the body.”✨
— Guruji B.K.S. Iyengar

Every asana is a conversation.
If the mind pushes and the body resists, tension appears.
If the body leads and the mind listens, intelligence grows.

🌿True practice is learning when to act, when to wait, and when to observe.
Yoga begins when force ends.

Why Parallel Matters More Than Depth

In Utthita Parsvakonasana, bending the knee is easy.
But descending the buttock to the same level as the knee—without collapsing the ankle—is where intelligence begins.
When the buttock “puffs up,” the geometry breaks.

The instruction is precise:
👉 Knee and outer buttock parallel to the floor.
👉 Inner ankle lifted and aligned with the outer ankle.

This is not about forcing depth.
It’s about internal calibration—measuring yourself against invisible walls and floors, just as we do in Virabhadrasana I, II, and Prasarita Padottanasana.

Parallelity prevents casual action.
It demands presence.
No dreaming. No guessing. Only awareness.

🌿 Alignment is not aesthetic—it is cognition in action.

STOP pushing harder in your backbends.

Real strength isn’t about force—it’s about sharing the load.

If your lower back hurts in Wheel Pose, your arms might not be carrying their fair share. When we organize and support the arms (like using blocks at the wall), we take the pressure off the lumbar spine and let the chest open freely.

The result?
✨ Intelligent spinal extension.
✨ Reduced strain.
✨ A backbend that actually feels light.

Swipe ➡️ to see how we use props to build structural symmetry. From chair support to wall blocks, these variations teach your body how to distribute effort evenly.

💬 Where do you usually feel the most effort in backbends—arms, lower back, or neck?

How do you know you are hungry?
How do you know this is your father?
How do you know something is true?

Yoga invites us to question what we usually assume.

From infancy, our knowledge begins not with ideas, but with direct perception—seeing, hearing, sensing form. Only later do names, labels, beliefs, and judgments get layered on.

“This is an apple.”
“This is good.”
“I like this.”
“I dislike that.”

Yoga calls this process name and form, and it explains how knowledge arises through three sources (pramana):
• Direct perception
• Inference
• Testimony

But here’s the twist:
Even direct perception is limited.
The Earth feels flat.
Movement feels like stillness.
Appearance feels like truth.

Yoga doesn’t reject perception—it trains us to see beyond our assumptions, so the mind becomes quieter, clearer, and less reactive.
The path isn’t about rejecting the world.
It’s about witnessing it without being trapped by it.

💬 Reflection: What do you believe simply because “you saw it yourself”?

Yoga is not what the body does.
It’s what the body expresses.

B.K.S. Iyengar said:
🎶 “Yoga is when every cell of the body sings the song of the soul.”🎶

This is a reminder that:
🌿 Yoga is not mechanical
🌿 Awareness must reach every cell
🌿 Movement becomes meaningful when guided from within

💡 When the body is tuned, it stops performing and starts resonating.
Next time you step on the mat, don’t chase the pose.
Listen to the song.

👉 Save this as a reminder for your next practice

A wandering mind needs the right pause, not more effort.
Restless & overactive? → Exhalation pauses calm the brain
Dull & lazy (Muda)? → Inhalation pauses awaken focus
Stability comes from the heart, not the head.
Witness every breath—then the mind cannot wander.

13/02/2026

A wandering mind isn’t a problem—it’s a signal.

Before choosing a breathing technique, first ask:
👉 Is my mind overactive or under-energised?

✨ Hyperactive mind (fresh, restless, jumping ahead):
Avoid inhalation pauses. They overstimulate the brain.

Instead, practice exhalation pauses (Bahya Kumbhaka) to quiet brain cells, soften the ego, and bring mental humility.

✨ Dull mind (lazy, aimless, tired – Muda):
Here, the mind needs energy.

Use inhalation pauses (Antara Kumbhaka) or Abhyantara Viloma to awaken every corner of the body and sharpen focus.

A stable mind does not come from the brain alone.
It comes from the heart.
Engage the chest. Witness every fraction of the breath.
When breath is witnessed, the mind has nowhere else to go.

Pause creates clarity.
Witnessing creates stability.
