April 3rd, nobody go against the flow?

by David Jeff
(Jacksonville, FL)

I've been practicing yoga for a year. I'm in excellent health, very active, etc. I started with a certified instructor Iyenger for the first 6 months (thank God)-professor unbelievable. In the past six months, I feel like I'm going backwards in my yoga practice. Here in Jacksonville, FL harvests are reduced. Is the flow and more-that's it. Each Studio has a few (and I mean few) Hatha beyond those classes for the beginner or with special needs.

I tried Asthanga, vinyasa Power Yoga and so on. All suggestions to find a way out of this yoga "all in one" approach? Or should I just practicing on my own and expect the best in this city (until I move)?

Response

Yoga is a trip to the purification of the mind, body and ego to achieve the ultimate aim of uniting with Supreme consciousness. There is no limit to study yoga and there is always the possibility of progress. With some guidance in the right direction, you should be able to make continuous progress in yoga. You must take positive steps to stop the stream in backward direction. Sometimes progress may be slow because of self-doubt. Read more and seek guidance. In addition, make self-analysis.

Even if you are continuing with a particular sequence of yoga/Yoga style. Yoga is unlimited and there must be progress in the practice of yoga with every day that passes.

~ Keep its position of asanas longer, up to a minute or so.
~ Increase the number of repetitions.
~ Try to stretch your body, in order to achieve perfect alignment to pose.
~ Yoga practice will represent a significant improvement to start with the concentration and meditation. When your ego Gets dissolved and you become ready to understand the real purpose of life.

Once you become good at asanas next step is to master pranayama, concentration and meditation.

You should consult a yoga teacher and its further progress in yoga chart and follow him. However, do your self study has become more balanced and increase your self-awareness. Read any book of yoga sutras of Patanjali will be beneficial to you.

Hope this helps
