HATHA YOGA - LESSON 1

Introduction

Welcome to a few very important Hatha Yoga postures. These postures will allow the chakras to unfold and begin spinning their energies upwards.

I have been teaching Yoga for over 50 years now and would like to pass on to you some aspects of REAL Yoga. Although Yoga means Union, it is Union with the SELF. Yoga is not effortful. If it is, then stop doing it.

Yoga should be done with Love. When you love doing something, there is no effort involved. If there is effort, you have stopped loving.

Begin your Yoga lessons with a feeling of love and relaxation and continue your lessons as long as you feel that.

Yoga is not practiced so you can get thin and get healthy. Although they are by-products of the study, but this is not why one practices Yoga. One practices Yoga to Unite with SELF.

When that Union occurs, you "experience" SatChitAnanda, which means, Being Ever Existent, Ever Conscious and Ever Blissful.

When this occurrence happens it is called Samadhi, and may last a short time only. Extended Samadhis come later and we shall discuss that at a future date.

Let's move on to:
