Скачать или смотреть Finding Stillness in the Storm: Lockdown Sivananda Yoga & The Power of Routine 🧘🏻‍♂️🌎

Om Om 🙏🏼 Looking back at these Zoom recordings from the 2020 lockdown 🔐, I am reminded of the incredible resilience we share when we step onto the mat.

During those uncertain months, I taught three classes a day—morning, noon, and evening—ranging from 60 to 90 minutes each. For me, and for the students who joined from near and far, these sessions were more than just an exercise; they were a sanctuary.

Why the Sivananda Sequence?
The classic Sivananda Yoga sequence is scientifically and spiritually designed to bring the body and mind into a state of Sattva (purity and balance). By following this fixed structure, we cultivate:

Mental Stability: A regular schedule during chaos provides the brain with a sense of safety and predictability.

Physical Vitality: We move from Pranayama (breath control) to Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutations), followed by the 12 Basic Asanas to systematically balance the endocrine and nervous systems.

Deep Healing: Ending with a structured Savasana (final relaxation) allows the "lockdown" stress to dissolve, leaving space for mental clarity.

Teaching during the pandemic deepened my own perception of what it means to be a devoted yogi. It taught me that sharing knowledge isn't just about instruction—it’s about creating a unified vibration of peace, regardless of physical distance.

✨ New Playlist Alert: I will be publishing more of these archive recordings in a dedicated playlist. Whether you were there with me in 2020 or are joining now in 2026, I hope these sessions bring you the same calmness and focus they brought us then.
