What is yoga?. Yoga sutras of patanjali are the source book for knowing the meaning of yoga . The topic dealt with is all about living and life. The means and end of life are the same for patanjali .He calls it as Samadhi.ENLIGHTENMENT.you have tons of literature for Samadhi. Everyday the litera ture grows, many come with their own interpretations.A fact doesn’t give any room for interpretation.A fact is to be understood as such. Samadhi is also all about knowing a fact about you. A fact should be seen as it is as it can not be interpreted and understood.
We are all accustomed to descriptive understanding of things and people and whatever is there in all forms which we call universe- known and unknown. Here enlightenment is about seeing a fact centered on yourself not centered on the world. Here yoga becomes a journey inward. It is all the way a cognitive journey to understand your own self.
Your body mind sense complex is the only vehicle for you to achieve it .How you make the best use of this vehicle is laid down in 8 steps. since patanjali yoga sutras are called ashtanga yoga.Ashta means 8 in Sanskrit ,anga means limbs, ashtanga means that which has eight limbs or steps.These 8 steps are guidelines dealing with the means and ends of life.YAMA-NIYAMA-ASANA-PRANAYAMA-PRATHYAHARA-DHARANA-DHYANA-SAMADHI
What you have is the world to relate to.who am I can not be understood by searching your source on what you have.But it can be used as means to an end.
Why you need a traditional teacher to learn YOGA?
What you have is a body. what you have is a mind .what you have is a set of senses.
Sage patanjali tells you the best possible engagement you can have with your body to gain samadhi
The importance of asana is only that in that ultimate standpoint.

ASANA.
ASANA is not physical exercise. But in asana the body is the predominant tool in use. while you do an asana body in being formatted in a prescribed way. In this prescription two more ingredients are being added to make it complete. your breath and your mind without which asana is not complete. The posture, the breath. and the focus of your mind all these are important in asana which make it distinct from simple physical exercises. The synchronization of these elements are scripted and given by patanjali..In fact you learn focus shifting through asana which is a requirement for Samadhi. One who has gone though the traditional discipline can only know this subtle aspect of synchronization and focus shifting and impart it the way it is being meant to be. so the tradition counts when it comes to yoga.
IT IS TRUE NEO YOGA SCHOOL STANDS FOR TRADITIONAL TEACHING STILL WE ARE DIFFERENT FOR A REASON {EMBLEM-POSTURE-AKHILESH BODHI}
By yoga If you look forward to fitness it can give you that.But life is not about fitness and health. Fitness is a necessity so one can move forward to know something more meaningful than fitness and health .the buck can not stop there.
When you are fit body won’t ask more than the required attention it deserves from you.
You are free to move to the subtle realities of your being.
Here by doing asana you are using the body as a means for Samadhi. In yoga though the body is only used as a tool but the emphasis is given on you . .Health benefits are secondary.
NEO YOGA SCHOOL BLENDS BOTH.TRADITION AND NON-TRADITION.WE NEED TO CATER TO ALL BODY-TYPES.SO WE MAY INCORPORATE BKS IYENKAR AND PITTA BIJOIS IN TO OUR STYLE.BUT TRADITIONAL TEACHING IS OUR HALLMARK AND WILL EVER REMAIN SO AS WE ARE PART OF THE INDIAN TRADITIONAL LINEAGE OF TEACHERS.

WHY PRANAYAMA.
Pranayama
Prana is the breath, yama here is control. Deliberately you walk the prana in modified ways scripted by the scriptures. prana and mind are closely connected. Your breath and emotions have a very close association. and its very obvious when we are under stress. Any emotional disturbance can affect our normal pattern of breathing. Any negative emotion needs to be cognitively resolved but the uninitiated can not do that since the person is under the spell of it.
any amount of analysis won’t rescue the person immediately from the situation but may add to his misery but by knowing the association one can have an immediate relief on working on your breath. You bring your breathing in to a normal mode by pranayama there by relieve yourself from the stress relatively to gain a space where you can cognitively resolve it. In a period of emotional disturbance your pranic activity becomes imbalanced and you can become tense, anxious and even experience feelings of helplessness. By controlled breathing in specified ways, one can bring back the breath and re-balance the body and mind to a more relaxed and calmer state.
It can also vitalize your immune system. It can keep you away from diseases and prepare your mind for meditation.
We teach you different types of pranayama enabling you handle life in a better way.

YAMA AND NIYAMA-VALUE BASED ENGAGEMENT WITH THE WORLD-MIND IS THE TOOL
Values are to be understood and its application takes place when one interacts with the world.
One can not but relate with the world, emotions are born of it either way positively or negatively. values are in a way making us see the oneness in the life connectivity of the world and you. The oneness of the life connectivity, is being given a name called value. Truth is a value.non-violence is a value.compassion is a value.it looks as though. there are not many values,which is not true.There is only one value which has been given many names contextually. one value is given many names in different contexts, There is no object called truth. what is the life connectivity of truth? In a situation you understand what you gain when you behave without hurting the oneness in your thought and the word, without hurting the oneness in your relation with your word and action, without hurting the oneness in your relation with the other, ‘without hurting your oneness with any being in the world.There is a life connection between your thought and word, between your word and action ,between your relation with anything other than you. seeing the oneness in any life connectivity is called value. Then you are truthful to yourself and truthful to the world you relate to.When we talk of the oneness contextually it implies two entities. one and oneness are not the same. the presence of two entities only brings in topic of oneness, its becomes a value for which that oneness of the life connectivity between the world and you is all the more important and in your appreciation of it when you are in touch with truth.- the reality of yourself and the world empirically. In fact in the applicational level of existence in different interactive contexts where in you are made to see the oneness of subject and object, is termed as value.in an act of compassion you dissolved your sense of otherness with the world in you.you lived a value finds yourself comfortable with yourself.
Actions based on the attitude of oneness &actions based on the attitude of separated-ness
Oneness is in your understanding
Attitude is born of your understanding (which is will-based)
Value and emotion-how its connected?
When you can keep up your structural oneness in your understanding and act emotions favor you
On the other way it disturbs you.
Value based living gives you a chance to live in harmony with yourself and the world.
What’s more important is not to be in conflict with oneself.
I can be in conflict with myself only when I go against myself.
I act in a situation where though I know what is right but does exactly opposite of what I know for various reasons.
World is your dish.there are only 5 dietary supplies given.life connectivity is restricted these 5 dishes.sight.sound ,taste touch and smell.life connectivity is always structural.that means thought bound.

What you call happiness is the absence of the sense of separation…In every perception just being oneself is called happiness. You don’t need to do anything just to be yourself. A state of disposition in spite of your perceptions where you are not in conflict with yourself is called happiness. To be not in conflict with yourself you have to be free from self judgments.
Here you drop your body not physically but cognitively and stop defining yourself through it. Seeing the cognitive distance between yourself and your body which happens in silent awareness as a result of teaching will free you from all self judgments.
Freedom from self judgment amounts to knowing the self as infinite through teaching.
learn to stop
creating life-negative experiences born of self judgments… What is life –negative experience? Life negative experiences are created not because of what you see and hear but because of what you have told to yourself about yourself. What you have told about yourself not a single thing is true. If you have already told all wrong things to yourself then what To see yourself in movement which happens in silence you need to you are going to create in you are all life –negative experiences. What are they? You told yourself that you are the body .you told yourself you are the mind. You told yourself you are your senses. It is true body is you. You presence sustains the body. Your presence nourishes it. Without your presence your body can not survive. Your presence picked up a body for a round of life –jogging. The one who is present in your body might have asked for it. Your presence and the one who understands that presence are not identical twins. Your presence doesn’t have any borders. One who is trying to understand that presence cannot survive without your body. The one who is obtaining in the body has to put its house in order first. How? I am a conscious being having a body. I am and the body which I have. Previous equation was I am the body. Now the equation is I am and I have a body. Some improvement. Of course not to the mark. My sustaining presence is not hidden here, it looks my presence is as though hidden. In my day to day experience of I am, your am-ness in the form of borderless consciousness is not hidden, it is always revealing and illumining your sense of I am in the first place and illumining the body so you can touch and feel your body. It’s hidden for you if without appreciating your presence if you jump in to the conclusion that you are the body.
For what you know about yourself is other than yourself. Then you move away from what is other than you. You move away cognitively from your body and drop your judgments centered on it. So with the mind and so with your senses. For what you hold and what you are, both are different. Every day I pick my body up and move around for life shopping, and drop it at a fit place every day in sleep. You hold a bucket, or a kettle or a bag which cannot hold you back. You can drop physically what you hold. Here you are holding your body. Body cannot hold you back…you decide what to do with it .Body cannot decide for you. One who holds the body using thought as a tool carries it around and that’s very cool.
Here you drop your body not physically but cognitively and stop defining yourself through it. Seeing the cognitive distance between yourself and your body which happens in silent awareness as a result of teaching will free you from all self judgments.
Freedom from self judgment amounts to knowing the self as infinite through teaching.
SAMADHI
Freedom from self judgment leads to knowing the self as infinite through teaching is Samadhi.
If you do not add infinity into the meaning of your own self definition. Life negative experiences can be created. Here you learn to add infinity in to the meaning of your own self definition. How this is possible in every day living? In every perception the seer can include the seen .When the seer includes the seen what will happen? Inclusive perception. Inclusive perception is the only way to experience infinity in our day to day living. because the self is infinite. You are infinite. In inclusive perception you are relating wth the world with out any self judgment and act upon it as and when there is a need.Inclusive perception doesn’t deny thepresence of the bur it gognitively absolves the senseof separation between the two.that can oly possible when you can rlate with something without any self judgemebt seer and seen That’s why in every inclusive perception you are just yourself. That’s your own experience. The scripture confirms it. You don’t get disturbed by any inclusive perception and inclusive thinking.
Absolute negation and relative engagement. Is the key.
