The Yoga of Asana

The Yoga of Asana, The Yoga of Pranayama and Pratyahar

are part of a project called Crystallizing the Diamond

Crystallizing the Diamond sets out to refine and enhance our personal practice of Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan, so that we may implement it with greater awareness and potency.

In Teacher Training and in our daily practice often there isn't enough time to experience all the different facets of Kundalini Yoga technology with satisfactory depth and precision. Thus, we may not be in a position to make the most out of our practice.

Each module of  Crystallizing the Diamond specializes in one aspect of the technology and builds on the foundations given in Teacher Training with in-depth understanding and precision, to facilitate the ‘state of yoga’ – merging the finite with the Infinite Consciousness.

Our personal practice (Sadhana) will become highly effective in crystallizing The Diamond of the Self to completion (Aradhana), enabling the Light of the Soul to shine forth as a beacon for all (Prabhupati).

"What are the things that affect our posture? Emotions, habits, learned habits, opinion of yourself, a physical trauma, diet, awareness, breath, how you breathe. My posture is my personal compromise with everything that has happened to me in my life.

To have a good posture means you don’t use a lot of energy. You lose no energy, you use minimum energy to stay in one position. All the muscles cooperate, some are antagonists, others are protagonists. They need to be balanced. If one of the muscles is not functioning, the other one has to work.

The position of your feet is also very important. You can learn to adjust your posture by adjusting the jaw!"  Sadhana Singh, The Yoga of Asana, Sweden. June 11th, 2011
