Summary: The word "yoga" comes from the Sanskrit root yuj meaning "to bind, or join." Yoga is centrally the practice of union, whether you are joining the mind to the body, the human to the divine, or the individual to the infinite. The various styles of yoga that have made it to the West all share a common core: positioning the body into a particular posture while focusing mind and breath leads to physical and spiritual well-being. These arts of positioning the body have been passed on for thousands of years, and encompass one of the oldest cultural traditions known to exist. To practice yoga, then, is also to join with the ancient sages, drawing human history up into yourself and connecting with the past. This free video series will teach you step-by-step a Surya Namaskar Sun Salutation and over a dozen other Sivananda poses to begin or continue your yoga practice. Expert Cynthia Mastry will show you many poses, including uttanasana, sirsasana, dolphin, cobra, sarvangasana, halasana, and more. She uses her students to demonstrate poses while she offers tips and other insight into a personal practice of Sivananda yoga. You will also learn various triangle and warrior poses, good for balance and stability. Become part of the tradition today!
