Subject: Yoga is controlling modications of mind and not asanas and pranayamas only

Namaste

I would like to share my experiences with you. I attended 87th batch of YIC (October 200

at Prashanti Kutiram, SVYASA. To be very honest, I also got disappointed initially because of the emphasis on yogic philosophy than Asana and Pranayam as "Yoga means Asana" was the equation in my mind like most of the people. But we limit ourselves to Asana and Pranayam which are just two limbs of Ashtanga Yoga i.e. Rajyoga. Slowly, I started understaning the real meaning of Yoga. It is a slow process and requires patience and faith.

The YIC at SVYASA is actually a Yoga Foundation Course. It will be very unrealistic to expect a person to become yoga instructor after attending the YIC course. One gets the opportunity to get an overview of Yoga after YIC. Also one cannot expect high qualilty and tasty food there as it is more like a ashram and not a restaurant. Yes there are many areas which needs improvement like entry criteria, discipline among the participants, evaluation system etc.

I strongly feel that if one is focussed to learn Hathyoga (Asanas and Pranayamas only), Prashanti is not the place for him/her. But if one is interested in learning yoga in real sense (for personal development and not for the sake of certificate) then he/she should visit Prashanti Kutiram.
