Listening to the words and teachings of a Self-realised teacher brings another dimension to the classes. Quickly students understand that each and every words come from a higher source that we call Wisdom. A good teacher will put you at the edge of the cliff for you to jump, to free you of old patterns and imprints, but will catch you if you jumped on rocks. Vijay's presence shines when he teaches. He gives you the space for being yourself.
With the Yoga Gita approach, the teachers will guide you with a pure unconditioned mind, through the five sheaths of You - body, breath, mind, wisdom, and soul. You will reach your soul, or your "Self" by working on those sheaths from the grossest to the subtlest, from out to in. That's the path we must take to find who we really are. The way to the Self, to your True Nature will be possible only if you drop any mind conditionings and past influences. Yoga Gita teachings will give you all the tools to expressing your True Self in a total freed state, that can be reached when there is no influence of other forces.
We are all made to interact with the outside world through body, breath and mind (the manifested part of us, see sheaths). The influence from outside brings patterns, imprints, samskaras, blockages, holdings, tensions or worries at body, breath and mind layers of your Self.
Your body, breath and mind are very precious sheaths of you. Their manifestation should not be limited by confining their expression by following a path of particularity, conclusions or targets under the restrictions of a style of practice. As long as your Self is exposed to any form of restriction, so long your practise is just a physical activity such as sports. A true Yoga practise should facilitate your body, breath and mind to bloom in the dimension of existential infiniteness. This leads to expression of your wisdom and the evolution of your soul making you free from influence of Karma.
The study of the philosophy is the core of a good quality practice. Only with the understanding of the true Essence of Yoga, Self Realisation is possible. Some of the Sutras are explained and any kind of questions are answered, from the scientific angle to more the social angle. Vijay's wisdom is infinite, and his knowledge of the subject is unlimited. Philosophy classes build the strength of the practice, opens your mind to an infinite subject. At Yoga Gita, on the mat you don't practice posture, your practice the philosophy. They make the link. Learn with the mind, then apply it in the practice to understanding through a direct experience, it will then reflects in your life...
The process of experiencing a posture and evolving in it by understanding what needs to be changed, aligned or dissolved. That will change the mind. As long as the information comes from outside (teachers,imagination, images, targets,..) and not from your own inner teacher, your mind will not expand. Your awareness won't expand. Everybody needs to find their own space to experience themselves. The major point of practicing is the direct experience. Each one of us need to experience our own path. That leads to the acceptance of ourselves and let the space for the acceptance of others. While practicing, the teachers give the space and time to explore your own body and intervene when needed.
The course includes a 5 days retreat, it used to take place in Tumkur, a holy place where Sages have been meditating for centuries. As you step closer to the center of Mother Earth, this special journey will take you deeper through the layers of your own being. The retreat can now on change destination. It might stay Tumkur or another option.
Depending on the wishes and desires of the group, Vijay, the main teacher, and his dear friend Nagaraja, Yoga teacher and Naturopath, will guide you through early morning or night meditations, the yogic life style and philosophy, star watching, bouldering adventures, but even the immense chance to meet Sadhus and Sages who have been living in caves for decades.
The less you have, the more you are. This simple statement has been understood and apply since thousands of year by Yogis who walked the path of Self Realisation. Everything at Yoga Gita, from the classes, to accommodations, to the meals, to the retreat in Tumkur, etc, has been thought through, so you can experience simplicity. Most of the time, western minds will see it as a lack of comfort, but it pushes you at the edge of your own perception about what you really need in life. This is part of the game, Vijay teaches during classes, but the teachings happen every minute of the day. A simple life in India.
Yoga is an unlimited topic with millions of different approaches. It has evolved and changed through decades all around the globe. Each and every facet of it has its own intention, but to really understand the depth of the subject going to the roots of Yoga in the land of its source will give you a bigger mind shift. Because the Yoga Philosophy is also part of the local culture, on the street.
When the philosophy meets the practice, it is easy to understand how the way we act on the mat is reflected in our day to day life.
Through the practice of Pranyamas, we learn to get in touch with the Life force Energy. This Energy which is in everything, which bring life to Nature, keeps us up right. Pranayamas have many layers. As we deepen the practice, we understand that the breath is the bridge to the Life Force Energy, Prana. Conditionnings, holdings, beleives, samskaras, … are in between us and prana. Through practice, we minimize this layer and maximise the direct link.
