4 5Yoga Activities and important info

Swami Sivananda (1887-1963), a great yoga master and physician of modern India, lived for over 30 years in a hermitage on the banks of the Ganges River at the foot of the Himalayas.

In 1958 Swami Vishnudevananda (1927-1993), one of his closest students, arrived in North America. Between 1972 and 1974 he founded the fi rst Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centres in Europe. He led regular yoga vacation programmes in the Tyrolean Alps and would say: „It‘s just

like the Himalayas here.“ Amidst fresh mountain air, the pure water of the brooks and lakes and the deep silence of the forests, the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Retreat House was opened in 1998.

Ever since, people from all over the world have taken part in this time-honoured daily programme of yoga and found their way back to a holistic lifestyle in harmony with nature.

Experience for yourself the benefi cial effects of yoga, such as improved stress resistance, greater lung capacity, weight loss, renewal and stabilisation of all body systems.

Today there is no doubt even in the West of the healing and preventive benefi ts of yoga. Yoga gently brings body and mind in harmony with the laws of nature and promotes the search for higher values in life.

Everyone can practice yoga, no matter what their age, culture or religion.

The universal science of yoga has been practised for thousands of years in India,where people would retreat to the regenerating peace of the Himalayas for yoga and meditation.

THE YOGA ASANA CLASSES The yoga asana classes in the mornings and afternoons consist of breathing exercises, the Sun Salutation, basic postures and deep relaxation, under the guidance of an experienced instructor. Individual corrections and detailed instructions help all participants to perform the exercises carefully and in a relaxed manner. Flexibility and mobility are enhanced.

Newcomers and „rusty“ students are encouraged to try easier variations of the basic poses. People with health issues such as back problems or general exhaustion receive the appropriate guidance. Advanced participants are encouraged to try classical variations and hold the poses longer.

Weather permitting, the yoga classes are held outside under the big sun shade on the cedar platform, which offers a marvellous view of the Wilder Kaiser mountain range.

MEDITATIONThe morning and evening meditation sessions are the most peaceful hours at the Retreat House. The practical guidance for positive thinking and mental relaxation as well as concentration exercises gradually lead to inner peace.

The chanting of Sanskrit mantras (healing and energizing sound combinations) deepens the feeling of peace. A reading from yoga texts gives inspiring insights into yoga philosophy and psychology.

SILENT WALKSThe guided silent walks departing from the Retreat

House offer moments to treasure:The gentle sunrise and sunset, the various

phases of the moon, hidden recesses of the valley, the panoramic view of the Wilder Kaiser and Hohe Tauern Mountains, the song of many different bird species, the variety of trees, bushes and medicinal plants along the footpath.

Our breathing becomes deeper and more relaxed, we feel the increased fl exibility of the joints at every step, our

regenerated senses expand. The mind rediscovers natural contentment and peace.

VEDANTAThe Vedas, humanity‘s most ancient preserved writings, are the philosophical foundation of the yoga teachings. Vedanta explains how man can reunite with the immutable reality of the Soul. In this experience of deep inner peace, there is no longer any distinction between body and mind and the restless searching for love, success and happiness has found its end.

THE 5 POINTS OF YOGA Learn yoga with the help of these fi ve easyprinciples, adapted by Swami Vishnudevananda from the classical yoga teachings:

PROPER EXERCISE | ASANASenhances the fl exibility of the joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments and stimulates circulation. Flexibility and strength in the spine keep the body youthful.

1

3 PROPER RELAXATION | SAVASANA If the body and mind are subjected to constant overload, their performance suffers. Yoga relaxation techniques not only help to relieve existing stress symptoms like muscle tension and shortness of breath, but they also develop resistance against external stress factors.

PROPER DIET | VEGETARIANis simple to prepare, natural and health-promoting. It is easily digestible and easy for the body to absorb. It consists of food products that have the most positive effects on the body and mind and also the fewest negative effects on other living beings and the environment.

4

5 POSITIVE THINKING AND MEDITATION(VEDANTA AND DHYANA)Are the keys to peace of mind. By controlling the tendencies of the mind, we can eliminate negative thought patterns and experience inner peace.

PROPER BREATHING | PRANAYAMAconnects the body to its battery, the solar plexus, which is a storehouse for enormous amounts of energy. Stress and depression can be overcome by breathing more deeply and with awareness.

THE YOGA BODY CHECK ❁Often just little adjustments can lead to greater quality of life: Workshops focussing on the shoulders, back and hips show us how we can systematically improve our fl exibility in the yoga class. A test of the muscles and a posture analysis give the motivation you need to make a change. Yoga offers a broad palette of methods for strengthening the nervous and cardiovascular systems: from deep relaxation through to resistance training by holding the asana postures. The yogic breathing exercises help you to increase your vital energy. Yogic techniques for organ cleansing (Kriyas) make it easier to detox the body. In the cooking workshop you will learn energy-giving vegetarian food combinations.

YOGA FITNESSThis programme focuses on strengthening body and mind for all-round health. Yoga asanas provide an optimal development of muscle strength and fl exibility. This is excellent prevention against posture faults such as lordosis, kyphosis or scoliosis, and helps improve existing posture faults. In addition to learning the natural resting breath, you will learn pranayama breathing exercises that systematically increase your vital capacity. Relaxation exercises strengthen the nervous and immune systems. Enjoy the energizing vegetarian food, specially adapted to the yoga practice.

YOGA@HOMEThe daily yoga practice at home lets you tap new energy, which can change your outlook on life. Workshops introduce the most effective exercises for the daily routine, based on various asana sequences with a duration of at least 15 minutes. In an introduction to the practice of concentration and meditation, you will learn the time-honoured techniques of gaining control over the mind – a kind of mental hygiene for daily life. A cooking workshop gives practical tips for optimising your diet for both body and mind. All this, together with a list of recommended reading, will equip you for successful Yoga@Home.

YOGA – THE ART OF LIVINGNew scientifi c insights into how the nervous and endocrine systems infl uence the variety of human emotions lend support to the reason why many people practise classical yoga techniques. The in-depth practice of asanas is a time-honoured way of developing a new awareness of body and mind. Becoming conscious of our thoughts and practising methods of non-violence enable us to shape our relationships in a positive way.

Mon 26.4. - Fri 30.4.Fri 18.6. - Sun 20.6.

Fri 6.8. - Sun 8.8.Fri 1.10. - Sun 3.10.

THE WORLD OF SOUNDThe ability of the asanas to sensitise us to sound becomes obvious at the end of every yoga class. This seminar offers an introduction to the meaning and pronunciation of mantras. Workshops and group practice introduce us to the meditative chanting of mantras. The singing of classical Sanskrit Bhajans (songs) is a proven technique for opening the heart. Lectures will give insight from both the East and the West into the healing power of music on body and mind.

YOGA, MIND AND BRAIN ❁The relationship between brain and consciousness is one of the most current topics of modern brain research. According to the experience of the yogis, mind and thoughts exist as subtle realities. Brain and nerve functions are the physical counterparts. During this weekend we will look at the nature of consciousness and explain the yoga model, according to which we are but manifold refl ections of one cosmic reality which can be experienced through introspection and meditation. The practice consists of gentle yoga classes for all levels, various yoga techniques for gaining control over the mind, exercises in self-observation and self-realisation.

“The latest research on the brain suggests that the state of happiness can be consciously produced using a form of mental training that stimulates the brain.” GEO Wissen, No. 38, 2006
