BKS Iyengar pranayama - belly / abdomen / diaphragm breathing

BKS Iyengar answers the question about so called diahpragmatic pranayama

[@ardhnarishwar]

I did teacher training course in Hatha Yoga and Ashtanga vinyasa but just few classes of Iyengar yoga I understood I know nothing. I am happy that I am learning Iyengar yoga from last 5yrs. No doubt B. K. S IYENGAR "Guruji" is The greatest yoga teacher India has ever produced. Thanks Guruji for everything 🙏

Agreed. But yoga practitioner or not, everyone's lifespan is governed by their "aayushya karma". Even Dr Geeta (his daughter) had to go at only 74. He will continue his work in the next life.

People who think he’s rude or arrogant, he really isn’t. We need to understand that he belongs to a generation where Indian masterji’s used to be little strict on the kids coz the kids were usually naughty. He just imbibes that teaching manner. More attention has to be given to what he’s teaching than how is he teaching

You are perfectly RIGHT. Unfortunately I cannot understand his accent ( just few words) you could write to me the ratio of is point about the belly' s breathing ? I can only understand the other guys.Thanks a lot 🙏

p.s. I have just listed another time and he seems to tell the belly is not meant for to breathe but just control the breathing. It's correct? Thanks🙏

[@explorehunter]

Rascism is the new India.

[@preethishetty6179]

explorehunter we need to accept truth of what we see, we see so many videos where westerners made yoga a physical exercise, for great and fit body , while yoga in actual is realising we are more than material / physical body . Reaching beyond the physical dimensions. But I am not saying there r no Indians doing the same and aping the western concept of yoga today . You see quite many of Indians doing it too. It’s like yoga went to the west and came back in a new form without its original spiritual essence /purpose . And this purely is my observation not physical/cultural bias. I don’t know if talking your mind / truth is also racism today but I am not ready to lie or close my eyes to truth to prove myself to a pretentious world .

[@explorehunter]

@@preethishetty6179 Still trying to establish that going beyond physical realms in yoga is only for people of particular geographical area is nonsensical and absurd. Any human being can do it if they mastered it, be it Indian, European, Asian, Arabian or Russian. All are human beings and spirituality is not a monopoly for India! Also it is injudicious and incongruous to think that yoga lost its spirituality because it went to the west and came back! It would have been the same even if it stayed in India itself, Indians are prone to corruption like anywhere else in the world.

In normal situation body needs oxygen so it is the requirements of body not only lungs, so it was a stimulated action by brain. While pranayam, is the breathing exercise for the lungs in main focus.

[@surgeclemency5086]

It seems that is your conviction that "Yoga is about humility". This is not an ideology and not Buddhism. Despite there being ethical norms in the Eight-Limbed way of Patanjali, the main focus of Yoga is on Self-Absorption, the Union, the Oneness. Being humble, compassionate, or forgiving is but a method of achieving the State, and not necessarily the quickest one. Going to work every day is also a good method. Gymnastics and prostrations, breathing and various plexus tightening exercises, control of the mind is a rocket-launcher method. The fact that BKSY is straightforwardly direct does not imply that he is somehow impatient, rude, or mental. In my view, he is just withdrawn and dispassionate. And what is the fuss about who is better? Having content and giving knowledge is better than keeping appearances, is it not?
