10 most advanced yoga poses

[@letterstolea]

The goal of yoga is to prepare the mind for meditation. ❤ i love the last pose. Namaste.

[@sigis-mondi]

Indeed! Namaste

[@yogdarpan2190]

Not goal of yoga instead goal of Asana

[@lauc62]

I have to admit that you got me, I was expecting a crazy pose for N1, but that ending was a satisfaction. Yeah, that is what it is all about, meditation.

[@sigis-mondi]

It is! It’s fun explore what your body can do, until it can do it… but at the end you don’t have to jump around and crazy bend too much to experience yoga

Number 1!! Beautiful to watch and a lovely spirit to connect with. Thank you!

Adoro questo video e tutta la serie! Nulla da aggiungere se non che è troppo buffa la copertina con Kino che si appoggia al maestro sotto 😂

[@sigis-mondi]

Grazie! La copertina L’ho fatta in effetti per farci due risate… e c’è già chi si è offeso… a volte la gente si prende troppo sul serio 😂

I finally found out the name of that pose - Eka pada yoga dandasaana gracias! ☺️ Good fun video and an endless road of inspiration x

[@sigis-mondi]

Happy you appreciated! I did some research with the names and I’m glad you found that name!

Fantastic compilation! Thank you

[@rdeza]

I love how fun yet educational this post is. Asana is only the third limb of yoga to prepare the mind for the real journey. Namaste 🙏🏼

[@sigis-mondi]

thank you! definitely some people are taking themselves too seriously

[@dharmayogaashram979]

@@sigis-mondi and many don't take things serious enough making fun of Hindus/Hinduism without which there would be no yoga.

[@dharmayogaashram979]

You are referring to the Hindu philosophy of the Yoga Darsana which makes no mention of any specific asana. Therefore today's ashtanga yoga (like all the modern non Hindu yoga) is totally dishonest and disrespectful.

[@sigis-mondi]

@@dharmayogaashram979 you are confusing me now. First you say that real yoga doesn’t mention asana. Then you say modern yoga practitioners disrespect Hindu Philosophy. If modern yoga practitioners only do asana - that you said is not included in the real yoga tradition - how they can disrespect it then? Maybe have a chat with Eddie Stern or Dr James Mallinson. Also, I’m done with this conversation. It’s not leading anywhere. And it’s not even a conversation because you clearly are the only one who know the truth. Please respect my space in my channel where I have kindly invited you. Good bye.

[@dharmayogaashram979]

@@sigis-mondi have to respond but please consider this is only a search for truth and honesty i hope you keep at it. You misunderstood and misunderstand just what is Yoga and one of the Hindu Philosophies. I did not say that real yoga doesn't mention asana. Hatha Yogasana is an integral part of Hindu Dharma and has several texts that detail the asanas (all of which say don't display!). The Yoga Darsana (philosophy) is only one Hindu text among many. And it is a fact that this Darsana does not mention any specific asana but is misused by the phony yogis (like Eddie Stern, etc.) to promote their phony ashtanga yog businesses. Please this is not my truth but the facts available to anyone who does their homework. This is why there is so much confusion.

[@mikaday5856]

Thanks for this video. I love it. And the final words are very right. The aim of all these postures is to create a challenge for the mind through the body, to improve focus/concentration. And go into meditation.

[@karinekmk9293]

Hi Alessandro ! Wow, those are really challenging postures, I don't even dream of being able to do them ...and I perfectly live without them😉But it's beautiful to watch amazingly talented yogis do them ! And I totally agree with your number one, even if I'd say a little difference : for me, savasana is the most difficult pose. Not to perform, but to feel. I'm actually unable to stay still for a while (whether it is sitting or lying on my back). Glad you illustrated some of those poses with Ty as a model 😉

[@sigis-mondi]

Sure, Savasana could also be number 1 if implies stillness of the thoughts and not just laying down and resting after practice 😊

[@shimayoga8928]

I love it. It is really a good inspiration❤

[@denisovayoga]

Thank you for this! It’s really important to understand our body is limitless ❤

[@sigis-mondi]

It really is!

[@Yogi_panditG]

Great your choice of Asana is too good, all asanas purpose is lengthening our spine and according to Hatha Yoga. You are doing good job keep it up 💪

[@Jensemann124]

Very good video keep up the good work. You could also upload the video in 10 shorts. Motivates not only yogis but also athletes to keep working on themselves.❤

[@laju9303]

Thanks a lot♡ I believe that nr. 1 pose is based in all poses. Namaste with still.

[@sigis-mondi]

If you can apply that stillness quality in all poses, well, you’re definitely a yogi! Good point

[@freelineinafreeworld5980]

Interesting its just mindboggling how strong and at the same time flexible some humans are 😮

[@ZetaTsatsani]

loved this video. AND I totally agree. Sitting still is the hardest one

[@saurabhsharma-zv9gb]

Your video is very very beast

[@_elfifle_]

At least I can do number 1, sort of! 😁

[@VivekVerma-zh2wk]

Excellent The video shows clearly even with Asana No.2 you are not enlightened and then u go back to classic Raja Yoga. Sitting still, if needed, till end of time till Lord grants u his Darshana. The essence of Siva.

[@sigis-mondi]

I’m glad you appreciated the video. Sitting still is definitely the essence of yoga. The rest might help, but without the right intention is not leading anywhere

[@raxxit18]

Great video as usual and fun too. Just a correction at 7:24 "Aika hastaa adho mukhaa vrikshasana" (one hand down facing tree pose) You typed and pronounced it as Vrischikasana which is scorpion, not tree. I cannot imagine the amount of research and attention to detail goes into making these videos. I appreciate it, but just wanted to share/add what i know. 🙏

[@careypostell4555]

💞💞💞💞

[@roktoprobal9505]

All of these asanas are advanced asanas and are very difficult to perform. Many people with numerous years of yoga practice also cannot perform most of these poses.

[@sigis-mondi]

And probably it’s not even not important, if then someone cannot perform the number 1

[@ritaflyfityoga860]

[@TweezerShred]

I'm pretty still when I lay in bed

[@bellyfiore1]

Oh Yogi, eat nothing but boiled vegetables for ten years, practice 3 hours of Asana everyday, one hour of pranayama. Place 2 legs behind your head . Hands on floor,lifting your bottom up. Only then will you realise, that nothing special has happened. Except, you have become self obsessed and have served no one. Your spiritual ego will grow as will the lower Sidhis . You will know the arts of hypnotism , magnetism, and mesmerisim These lower powers will create addictions . Sexual manipulation and financial gain .you will help nobody. The spiritual ego will place you above everyone. You will be known for who you really are. Namaste.

Have you watched it until the end? Check out what I think is the most advanced pose, you might like it

[@mritzs5142]

Do some research. Look at 1 st series. The primary Series. Our perception of violence varies I read the dorito reply, have to agree with that ..If overcoming obstacles, working through our false beliefs and self imposed limitations, learning what the real ones are, and profoundly respecting what we do is really violence to you, than you have received your answer

[@yes-yogaearthstories1404]

The yoga danda (daṇḍa) or the wooden staff is mainly used to open up your nostril - so under your left armpit when the right nostril is clogged/closed and vice versa. This would help you breathe better and breathing/breathwork or pranayama being the key, one step higher than ,asana practice. There are different types of staffs or dandas used by different rishis or sages or kings or deities, each with its own significance and also to a certain extent, describing the status of the person carrying the danda. Ofcourse, the topic here is not danda but advanced postures but I just got excited and wanted to share. Danda actually means punishment, also in my mother tongue Konkani - dandoo, though. Or a unit of time or an equivalent of ‘ghaṭikā,’ and is equal to 24 minutes. Yama, the lord of death, therefore is also called ‘daṇḍadhara’ or the wielder of the daṇḍa or holder of death or time, the time, we are destined to spend on Earth.
