Kriya Yoga Yatra 3 and Tattwa Shuddhi 2 (English)

Training in integral yoga is the hallmark of Bihar School of Yoga. This integral yoga is expressed by the yoga chakra concept. The yoga chakra is divided into bahiranga yoga, outer or external yoga, for self-perfection, and antaranga yoga, inner yoga, to express the spiritual attainment. External yoga is that which is performed to improve the quality of your body and mind, the expression of your senses and behaviour. The bahiranga (external) branches of yoga are hatha yoga, raja yoga, kriya yoga.

The Satyananda Yoga system of kriya yoga is divided into three categories: pratyahara kriyas, dharana kriyas, and dhyana kriyas. In this process the aspirant traverses the various states of mind, from pratyahara to dharana to dhyana, and the end result of kriya yoga is unified awareness. Although the practices combine techniques of asana, pranayama, mudras, bandhas, visualization and awareness, their focus is on perfecting, developing and deepening the state of pratyahara, dharana and dhyana.

Serious practitioners only:

Kriya yoga is an intensive sadhana. Training in the system of kriya yoga will be given over a three year period. The sadhak is expected to practice consistently throughout the year, in order to be eligible to participate in the progressive stages. Only those who are serious and committed to yoga as a sadhana should consider application.

Kriya yoga initially requires adequate practical and theoretical preparation and training in the following practices:

Bandhas including moola, jalandhara and uddiyana

Mudras including shambhavi, khechari and bhoochari

Mahabheda mudra

Mahamudra

Sarvangasana

Vipareet Karani

Pranayama including ujjayi

Ajapa Japa

An understanding of chakras, location and visualisation

The practitioner must be able to sit comfortably in a classical meditative asana for at least half an hour, preferably padmasana, or siddhasana.

Please note:

This training program is intended for sadhaks of yoga, and expounds the practice of kriya yoga as a sadhana. It does not entitle anyone to teach Kriya Yoga, but to use only as a personal sadhana.

Raja Yoga Yatra 3 (English)

The Bihar School of Yoga follows a system, or yoga chakra, which is divided into bahiranga yoga, outer or external yoga, for self-perfection, and antaranga yoga, inner yoga, to express the spiritual attainment. External yoga is that which you do to improve the quality of your body and mind, the expression of your senses and behaviour. The bahiranga (external) branches of yoga are hatha yoga, raja yoga, kriya yoga.

Raja yoga is the science of mind management; it deals specifically with modifying mental behaviour and managing mental modifications, known as chitta vrittis. Raja yoga is the yogic science of mental discipline, concentration, meditation and the experience of connecting with the higher qualities of one’s nature.

Who is it for?

Raja yoga is for those who are inspired to transform their entire personality and become better human beings by understanding, managing and awakening the strengths and qualities of the mind. Raja yoga is the yoga for aspirants who wish to bring about a qualitative change in their experience and interactions in life, and awaken their inner potential.

Eight fundamental stages of raja yoga

There are eight fundamental stages or limbs of raja yoga which form a comprehensive and progressive system for mind management.

The first five stages are the preparatory stages:

Yama: social code

Niyama: personal code

Asana: steady sitting posture

Pranayama: control and expansion of prana

Pratyahara: sense withdrawal.

These preparatory stages aim at gradually quietening the externalized tendency of the senses, the pranas and the mind. They progressively prepare the body-mind complex for the last three internal, esoteric practices of yoga, which are:

Dharana: concentration

Dhyana: meditation

Samadhi: superconsciousness.

The entire 8 stages of raja yoga will be offered in sequential training modules. The training begins with understanding the aim of raja yoga and the practices applied in the raja yoga system by Sage Patanjali.

To apply for Module 1, comprehensive knowledge of asana and pranayama and previous experience of yoga as a sadhana, is a prerequisite. However for the progressive modules of raja yoga, preference will be given to those who participated in earlier modules and have at least three years Satyananda Yoga experience.

Yoga Lifestyle Experience

3 months duration

For foreign nationals

Dates: November 1 2017 – January 30 2018

During the Golden Jubilee of Bihar School of Yoga, the completion of the first chapter of yoga was announced, and the second chapter of yoga began. After fifty years of propagating yoga worldwide, Bihar School of Yoga enters the next fifty years with a new vision, understanding and approach.

Central to this is the concept of the yoga chakra. One half of the yoga chakra is comprised of the bahiranga (external) branches of yoga, hatha yoga, raja yoga, kriya yoga. The remaining half of the yoga chakra is comprised of karma yoga, bhakti yoga, jnana yoga, which is antaranga yoga. It is through practice of antarganga yogas that yoga becomes a lifestyle.

In antaranga yoga the focus is on expressing the attainment of the practices in your daily life, in thought, behaviour, and action. The purpose is to manage the traits which are inherent in the personality, and govern your responses to situations in life. These conditions of personality create ones habits, mindset, personality and character.

Since ancient times, ashram living has provided a different type of training and education which seeks to develop the personality in order that the student can discover the inner self. Ashram lifestyle offers the unique opportunity to develop awareness and apply spiritual principles in daily life.

During the 3 month training, aspirants will have the opportunity to practice the first stages of karma, bhakti and jnana yoga, as well as and introduction to the yama and niyama of the Yoga Upanishads. Emphasis will be placed on swadhyaya, self study, observation and participants will keep a diary to record their own progress.

The practice of mouna, refraining from speech for prescribed periods, is one such ashram discipline which will be included in the training program. Mouna encourages the practitioner to restrain the outgoing senses and observe the mind, allowing for greater clarity, understanding and transformation of negative tendencies.

The daily routine of ashram supports the aspirant as they make the effort to observe, understand and improve their thoughts, behaviour and performance in accordance with the yogic teachings. Full participation is expected as this interactive lifestyle experience forms the basis of the training.

Hatha Yoga

1 week duration

For foreign and Indian nationals

Dates:

April 8-14, 2018

Hatha Yoga Yatra 1 (English)

April 8-14, 2018

Hatha Yoga Yatra 2 (English)

April 22-28, 2018

Hatha Yoga Yatra 3 (English)

The word hatha is derived from two beeja mantras, Ham and Tham, which denote the pingala and the ida, the vital and the mental, the solar and the lunar energies in the human system. The goal of hatha yoga is to balance, harmonize and unite these two fundamental energies in our system. Although hatha yoga begins with the physical kosha, annamaya, if performed correctly, the practices of hatha yoga impact the subtler pranamaya, manomaya and vijnanamaya koshas as well.

Components of hatha yoga

Classical hatha yoga has five limbs. The first is shatkarma, the six purificatory or cleansing practices. These are neti, dhauti, basti, nauli, kapalbhati and trataka. The first three purify at the gross physical level, and the last three at subtler pranic and mental levels.

After shatkarma, the next limb of hatha yoga is asana. The Hatha Yoga Pradipika describes the purpose of asana as:

Kuryaat tadaasanam sthairyamaarayogyam cha anglaaghavam.

One must perform asanas to gain steadiness of body and mind, freedom from disease and lightness of limbs. (1:17:2).

Following the component of asana is pranayama, which brings about purification of the nadis, experience of the pranic field, increase in the quantum of prana and eventually leads the mind into meditation. Mudras and bandhas also harmonize the pranas and the mind, and they complete the picture of hatha yoga.

 Who is it for?

The entire 4 stages of hatha yoga will be offered in sequential training programs. Hatha yoga is for those who are ready to expand the awareness and deepen their experience of asana, pranayama, mudra, and bandha. A practice may be easy to perform physically, but when components of breath awareness, visualization, mantras and chakras, are added, the whole experience changes. The practitioner begins to move from the physical experience limited to the body and the sensations of the body, to experiencing the to the pranic level, and from the pranic to the mental and psychic levels. This is the transition from yoga practice to sadhana.

To apply for Module 1, comprehensive knowledge of asana and pranayama and previous experience of yoga as a sadhana, is a prerequisite. However for the progressive stages of hatha yoga, preference will be given to those who participated in earlier modules and have at least three years Satyananda/Bihar Yoga experience.

Progressive Yoga Vidya Training

Progressive Yoga Vidya Training

1 and 2 will be conducted in 2019 only.

The next chapter of yoga will focus on understanding the traditional yoga vidya and making the effort to move into another level of yoga practice, which is yoga sadhana. The depth of yogic understanding should increase and the true discipline of yoga be imbibed and experienced. This comes through adherence to yogic disciplines and the incorporation of yogic principles in daily life, as a sadhana.

Sadhana indicates the drive and the effort to follow the aspirations defined by yoga. Sadhana means sustained effort over a period of time for a long duration to achieve the aims set out by yoga. There has to be regularity and continuity in that effort, plus belief or conviction. This is stated in the Yoga Sutras (1:14): Sa tu dirgha kala nairantarya satkara sevito dridha bhumih – “It (sadhana) becomes firmly grounded by being continued for a long time with reverence, without interruption.”

To experience yoga in its truest sense of the word, one has to move from practice to sadhana in order to experience the aims defined by the yogic principles. By following the aims of the yogic principles and the yogic branches and aspiring to experience them, practice becomes progressive, regulated and beneficial.

Yogic dimensions of the human personality

All five koshas, body, mind, energy, consciousness and spirit are the five aspects that make one whole personality.  The approach of yoga is to access all these dimensions of the personality. The chosen yoga practices for deepening experience in sadhana must also be able to activate the experiences underlying all these five different levels and dimensions.

Moving from annamaya, the gross body, to anandamaya, the spiritual experience, indicates the development of the total human personality. Developing the human nature and personality involves moving from annamaya, the body, to manomaya, the mind, to pranamaya, the energy, to vijnanamaya, the consciousness, to anandamaya, the experience of spirit. All aspects of the human nature and personality must rise together. Any kind of yoga practice must cater to all these five different components of life.
