VERY GOOD ONLINE YOGA COURSE

These blogs will no longer be about art as I have lost the desire to make art anymore. It may come back. But who knows?

I thought I would mention an exceptional online yoga course on Tuesday evenings. If you don't have the time to attend, all sessions are recorded so you can watch at any time. Or if you are feeling rather shy and don't want to attend in person then this is an ideal way to take part. These classes are given by Swami Sivadasananda who has spent his life as a practicing yogi within an Ashram.

They are very different from any other yoga class that I have attended. These classes are perhaps what yoga is actually supposed to be since they have a spiritual basis underpinning them. Swamiji covers a vast range of topics in this class and I think that it is probably very unusual to have the opportunity to learn from somebody who has this knowledge.

Here is the link: https://www.sivananda.at/en/kalender/live-online-course-hatha-yoga-tap-the-source-2023-2-14/ This link goes to the Sivananda Ashram in the Tyrol. I use the english translation to read it but you could also click on the link for Sivananda London https://sivanandalondon.org/online-calendar/?mobile=false&options%5Bids%5D=10767&options%5Bsite_id%5D=24839&version=0 This link also has other online courses. Swami Sivadasananda also gives one free class on both Saturday and Sunday afternoon online at 3 pm UK time which can also be seen on this link.

You have to be able to know Sivananda yoga first as these are not basic teaching classes. However, I have Indian friends who have taught themselves by carefully watching this video on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUKjuni-6l8&t=320s You can stop it at any moment to check that you are doing it correctly. Sivananda centres also teach beginners yoga.
