Sivananda Yoga
More about me:
I have been a Yoga teacher since 1985. I have been privileged to receive Shaktipat and Mantra initiation from Swami Vishnu and have been summer staff at the Sivananda Ashram at Val Morin and staff (Director Pro Tem) of the Sivananda Center in Manhattan in the nineties. Currently and for the last 20 years I have been teaching Sivananda Yoga and Mantra meditation in Ottawa, Canada.
My Favorite Quote/What inspires me:
"Where they love they do not desire and where they desire they do not love." -Sigmund Freud

Your description of someone holding inside or blocking energy flow is an excellent one and attests to your good level of awareness. That "someone" is you. There are two solutions: relax deeply so that you are not blocking yourself and have…"

"The most important aspect of a Yoga practice is the attitude with which you practice, i.e. non-judgment, non-comparison, non-expectation, no fear, openness, surrender to the process."
"The answer to both is more practice of physical yoga. Plus have a thick cushion and sit on the edge of it so that the pelvis is tilted forward.

"What is 'modern yoga practice", in your view?"
"Om Swamiji. As you already know, the main obstacles to meditation are (1) a wandering mind, (2) not keeping the back straight, and (3) a tendency to analyze and judge the so-called 'progress' one is making.
