What it’s?PracticeAnanda Yoga PosesAttaining AnandaBenefits Image: CanvaAnanda is a Sanskrit word that means ‘Bliss’, the bliss of your own higher Self. Unlike that bliss or happiness which we perceive by indulging in the mundane world, Ananda can be achieved only through inner awareness and peace. Based on the concept of inner peace, Ananda Yoga is a unique style of yoga that emphasizes spiritual development.What is Ananda Yoga? Ananda Yoga style is based on the teachings of the famous yogi Paramhansa Yogananda. It includes hatha yoga practices like Asanas, Pranayamas, meditation techniques, and Applied yoga philosophy. These practices combinedly establish a harmonious coexistence of your physical body, energy flow, emotional construct, and intellectual framework. The harmonious coexistence of different existential aspects of your being is the central focus of the Ananda Yoga system. It was founded in 1968 by Swami Kriyananda, one of the direct disciples of Paramhansa Yogananda. Yoga asanas used in the Ananda yoga sequence are different hatha yoga postures, which were at the heart of Yogananda’s teachings.This style of yoga focuses specifically on helping the practitioner attain inner bliss. Our Atman is said to be enclosed within 5 layers of our existence, the PanchKoshas. The layer Closest to the Atman is the Anandamaya Kosha which is integrally responsible for our inner bliss. Ananda Yoga helps you stimulate the Anandamaya Kosha, and takes you closer to the core spiritual essence of yogic practices.Unique Approach and PracticeImage: CanvaAnanda yoga at its core is a personal and inward experience, over an extensive physical routine. It uses the asana, pranayama, and Dhyana to regulate the energy flow and synchronize you with the universal consciousness. Here the asana practice is often modified to suit the practitioner’s needs and abilities, rather than forcing like in a traditional posture. Ananda yoga uses three unique approaches that set it apart from other yoga styles: the sequence, energization exercises, and affirmations.1. The Ananda SequenceThe Sequence used in the practice of Ananda yoga can itself be considered a dedicated tool for generating bliss. The sequence starts with the standing asanas to stimulate the prana flow along the spine.

On. When there is a better understanding of the body, students can slowly take their awareness towards the breathing. Notice that this pose is an asymmetrical pose due to its twisting action. In the twist one side of the body is active in a deep stretch whereas the other side is compressed to support the stretching side. Along with this, even the breathing is powerful on one side, therefore when twisting towards the right side, (although the twist is not deep), the right nostril (pingala - sun) is active, and when twisting towards the left side, the left nostril (ida - moon) is active. Which means with this action there is scope for balance between the two sides of the body - bringing balance in the sushumna nadi, the main channel of life. When this balance occurs, it impacts the functioning of the internal organs along with the emotions related to the many organs, muscles, nerves, etc. Hence there is a sense of balance in the entire body.Preparatory Poses: Svarga Dvijasana Prep Pose (Bird Of Paradise Prep Pose) strengthens the muscles of the legs, hips, shoulders and legs, preparing the body for more challenging forward bends, twists, and balance poses. Some of these poses are; Svarga Dvijasana Prep Pose Ii (Bird Of Paradise Prep Pose Ii) which helps keep the legs straight, Baddha Ardha Chandrasana (Bound Half Moon Pose) which is a balancing pose, or Namitum Svarga Dvijasana (Bowing Bird Of Paradise Pose), or the likes.

Bird Of Paradise Prep Pose Benefits The practice of Bird Of Paradise Prep Pose (Svarga Dvijasana Prep Pose) helps students prepare their body for many challenging poses that require strong hips, leg muscles, core, shoulders and arms, along with breath-body awareness. Given below are the details of the benefits derived with this practice:Stretches, Strengthens, Lengthens: The forward bend action of the upper body along with a gentle twist helps stretch the muscles of the back, hips, gluteus, hip flexors, psoas, and legs. The twisting action of the shoulders helps stretch the chest, upper abdomen, sides of the torso (one side) and the arms. With the lengthening of the arms and legs, the shoulders and hips gain better strength, respectively. The compressing of the abdomen, pelvis, hips, and shoulders on one side when done correctly helps the other side to expand and stretch deeper. Thus they work together to move comfortably into the baddha hasta (bound hands). The twisting action of the chest and shoulders also impacts the neck and facial muscles, which have a great role to play with some of the challenging poses. Flexibility and Range of Motion: The deep stretch and lengthening of the involved muscles in Bird Of Paradise Prep Pose helps to open the tightness around the joints, ensuring better range of mobility of the joints like the hips, spine, shoulders, elbows, wrist, and knees. While the hips and knees need to remain stable and strong, yet some action in the muscles, ligaments and tissues around

From the top of his head grow several long feathers that tap the ground as he begins his dance. This dancing bird is Carola’s parotia, just one of the many birds of paradise that live on the island of New Guinea. This male bird is attempting to impress a row of females that are watching him from a branch above. B Keeping the females’ attention isn’t easy. He pauses for dramatic effect, then commences his dance again. His neck sinks and his head goes up and down, head feathers bouncing. He jumps and shakes his feathers until his performance finally attracts the attention of one of the females. An Amazing Performance C In the dense jungle of New Guinea is nature’s most absurd theater, the special mating game of the birds of paradise. To attract females, males’ feathers resemble costumes worthy of the stage. The bright reds, yellows, and blues stand out sharply against the green of the forest. It seems that the more extreme the male’s costume and colors, the better his chance of attracting a mate. D In addition to having extremely beautiful feathers, each species has its own type of display behavior. Some dance on the ground, in areas that they have cleared and prepared like their own version of a dance floor. Others perform high in the trees. E The male red bird of paradise shows off his red and yellow feathers in a display called a “butterfly dance.” He spreads and moves his LOVE wings
