WHAT IS NAMASTE?: 2/2

To perform Namaste, place the hands together at the heart chakra (heart centre), close the eyes, and bow the head. It can also be done by placing the hands together in front of the third eye, bowing the head, and then bringing the hands down to the heart. This is considered an especially deep form of respect.

Within a class, Namaste allows teachers and students (as well as the class as a whole) to show gratitude and reverence to one another. The teachers initiate Namaste as a symbol of honour toward their students and their own teachers and in return invites the students to connect to the idea that we are all one when we live from the heart.

We are all a part of some shared experience, linked. Acknowledging our connectedness and appreciating someone else’s journey is so simple, but has the potential to be incredibly powerful and all it takes is a bow.

WHAT IS NAMASTE?: 1/2

“Nama” means bow, “as” means I, and “te” means you.

Therefore, Namaste (formed through external sandhi) literally means “bow me you” or “I bow to you.”

The spoken “Namaste” and the gesture of Anjali Mudra represent the belief that there is a Divine spark within each of us. It also can be interpreted as honouring the shared spirit or oneness of humanity.

One way to translate it, could be that; “I honour the place in you in which the entire universe dwells, I honour the place in you which is of love, of integrity, of wisdom and of peace. When you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me, we are One.”

The principle behind the movement is that we bring the hands together at the heart, acknowledging love, in conjunction with bowing and closing the eyes acknowledging surrender and respect.

WHAT IS YOGA? 2/2

Yoga is not a spiritual path. It is a scientific way of discovering oneself through techniques and practices. It is a scientific approach to human mechanism. However it may create a deep connection in people and one may become more spiritual in one’s own path.

Yoga techniques provide deep knowledge about one’s own mechanics and human system (mind, body, emotions and their connections), enabling one to have the ability to manage and use one’s own system effectively.

There are so many spiritual systems that are confused with the science of yoga and presented under the name of yoga. Do not confuse the science of yoga with other systems and disciplines.

Although yoga has many traditions, the lack of clarity around the framework of yoga practices and other spiritual disciplines can be confusing for students and even teachers.

WHAT IS YOGA? 1/2

Yoga is many techniques for human beings to discover their full potential to become the best version of themselves.

Yoga increases the intelligence of the one and removes fear to use that intelligence for good purposes.

We know yoga as physical practice in the west but the truth is yoga includes many different techniques and traditions.

Not only the physical practice but selfless services, breathing practices, cleansing, meditation, sound healing, mantra chanting and much more are yoga techniques.

A particular yoga practice can be done at a certain period of time in one’s life when that practice is needed.

Yoga, with the advice and guidance of a teacher, is most helpful in deciding which technique one should practice at a particular time in one’s life.

Yoga helps to establish inner balance thus reducing pain and suffering.

Yoga helps to see deeper inner and broader outer realities.
