As an Indian woman desperately searching for authentic Indian yoga that allows the space for spirituality intertwined with the practice of yoga and one that helps me reconnect to my practice as a child in India, I am finally at peace after finding your channel. 🙏 💕

[@peopledotorg]

Thank you for your wonderful comment. All videos are done in the service of Yoga.

[@prithmmohabeer7495]

@@peopledotorgI use this same video all the time when I do Yoga, I even decided to use just the Surya Namaskar which is just 6 mins to get over my excuses whenever I do not have 30 mins for a full session which is pretty much most of the time now, but that 6 mins really gets me to keep the consistency.

As a trained yogi , I truly appreciate the traditional yoga practices and it’s teachers . Thank you for sharing!!🙏

This is exactly what I've been searching for. The instructors voice is immensely relaxing and with the sound of nature in the background, this is fantastic. I have been doing it everyday and it's done wonders for my flexibility and strengh. I've also been able to meditate for much longer now. Thank you so much ❤️

[@peopledotorg]

...yes, very very relaxing and a very good sequence. Thanks to the Sivananda team in Neyyar Dam.

Namaste 🙏🏼, Thank you for this practice, it's simplicity is profound and brings me right back to Neyyar Dam, especially with the crows skawing in the background! Thank you Sri Sivananda and Vishnudevandaji for bringing these practices to the world and thank you to Rajesh Kumar and his student for taking the time to do this KZbin video. Many blessings to you both 💞🙏🏽💞

[@bilvapatra]

what makes this so encouraging and want-to-do-able, is the 30 compressed capsule, and the instruction with every step, even if one has been doing yoga for 15-20-30 years, this guided yoga keeps the mind on the instruction and one does not go into auto-pilot, which is the worst thing to happen. What this also helps with is, some dyas you actually choose to do yoga twice! Thank you for making this simpler for us. Really... extremely happy and grateful to be back to Sivananda Yoga. Nothing like it.

[@peopledotorg]

Thank you for your very nice comment! Agreeeee!

I'm sorry to bother you. I just wanted to ask you if you are aware of the testimonies of sexual abuse and misconduct against the organization's founder, Swami Vishnudevananda, and others in positions of power within the organization. The Organization's Executive Board has been and is being negligent in its responses to allegations of sexual abuse and has even covered up sexual abuse and misconduct for many years. Once again, I apologize for any inconvenience my comment may have caused you.

Either way thank you so much for this, thank you India, thank you Yoga.
