Yoga Experience At Param Yoga – Stefan IDunno

Following is the ashram life experience of one of Param Yoga’s student:-

Flexibility and Meditation

Hello my name is Stefan (Shivananda). I am from Germany and since February 2015 I am staying at Paramanand Ashram in Indore under the Guidance of Guruji Dr. Omanand and other beautiful teachers. I came here with no expectations and with the interests in the field of Yoga. I met a lot of people before and even here in the Ashram they did Yoga for so many years and gaining flexibility is a big topic for all of them. I came here with a lot of stiffness in my back especially while back bending asanas and I thought I will never be able to do ,for example, Poorna Shalabasana.

Gaining flexibility is not just a matter of physical practice, I even tend to say that the meditation part in my case is the even bigger piece of the cake in gaining flexibility.

In the first month I had some deep meditations under the guidance of Guruji which help me to release many engrams (emotions,suffering,depressed feelings) which have been stored in my lower chakras, that the flexibility I gained is just amazing. And i still think with just physical practice this will be not possible in such a short time, but also is a part of it of course.

This flexibility not just came back in the physical part of my body also in the mind i am more flexible/free than ever before, even if I never consider my self as inflexible there.

And isn’t that at the end which is even more important thru out the life. Having the opportunity to adjust to what ever happen in life without any remaining and fixed impressions from life happened before? It is the same if you live in the City and you never breathed fresh air and one day you go on top of a mountain and you discover the possibilities of fresh air. Same happened here with the flexibility of my mind.
Living the life with the mind of an child which takes every day like his first Day.

Om Shanti
Shivananda
