PRANAYAMA

Pranayama is breathing techniques aim to expands the area of breathing that we can breathe in tougher situations or we can say positions. Some says,” pranayama is an art of controlling breath; right, but not exactly the same, the word pranayama is made up of two Sanskrit words “ pranayama” ,where prana means breath or vital energy which is seems like breath but more subtle than that and ayama means to expand or expansion, so the pranayama means expansion of breath, here at Rishikesh Yog Satya School you will learn many techniques/ways of pranayama to understand this practice in a deeper way.

Regular practice of pranayama purify the blood and the respiratory system, calms nervous system and can heal you up and gives a feeling of joy, blissfulness. A beautiful line was said in “Hatha Yoga Pradipika”,”when the breath wanders the mind is unsteady, but when the breath is still, so is the mind still”.

There are four major types of breath we use are:

1. Pooraka {inhalation}
2. Rechaka {exhalation}
3. Antar kumbhaka {internal breath retention}
4. Bahir kumbhaka {external breath retention}

TEACHING METHODOLOGY

Teaching is the most important part of our TTC. We teach how to teach, how to prepare yourself before the class, during the class and even after the class. Building a teaching attitude is also important to achieve your teaching goals. In ancient time at old schools/ashrams, students lived for 5 to 10 years and learn different streams/subjects also observe their gurus/teachers and learn their teaching skills and the ways of teaching. Students also performed as a teacher and teach their co-mates and juniors in front of their gurus to nourish their teaching skills. In the same manner Rishikesh Yog Satya School also creates an environment to perform at front, learn and teach, observe as much as you can, ask questions and get satisfy answers. In short teaching methodology is a trick, method, attitude, experience, learning and skills to enrich your inner talent and present it outside the world.
