After realising that yoga could be so much more than just poses and stretches, I also got to learn about the 8 limbs of yoga and 7 chakras etc., Although I am still far away from really understanding how it works, how through asana, pranayama practice you can open ”chakras”..
however one day when we were repeatedly chanting (54 times!) ‘ohm’ under Jessica’s guidance, i had an amazing experience, i could literally feel how the energy in my body was moving around, i could feel some of my chakra’s opening. I really could feel the flow of power in my body moving around along my breath. My body got lighter and lighter, as if the laws of gravity no longer applied to me. It made me more understand the more ”spiritual or meditative sides of yoga.
The different modes of meditation, different ways of reaching your inner self, different ways of accepting your surroundings and how possibly to combine all internal and external sensations into a perfect harmony.
Although this is a long process, I definitely feel more connected to the world, and to myself after learning about these spiritual sides of the yoga practice.
I am eager to learn more.
