After all these years, I have found nothing, no meditation, no exercise, and nothing entirely, that can replace a Hatha Yoga session in the buzz. Something that comes close, but still, is not the same or as mandatory, is Qi Gong.

Really? :O
I entirely understand why Hatha Yoga is so important, but when I do Qi Gong, I will feel extremely relaxed and good after doing it - but I will also feel it the entire next day as well. Whereas with Hatha, it's just an energy buzz after doing it and that's it. I may also feel some unexpected pleasant senses of energy in the rest of the day (at some moments) but it will not expand on the next day, like Qi Gong does.

I don't know, I find both of them equally important. :?

They are both indeed equally important. What makes the circle complete is strength training. It is underrated over here and not discussed enough. HPS Pythia said this in the past as well that for your body to handle higher amounts of energy, some strenght training should be included like lifting weights(highly recommended). Or do Calisthenics if your unable to go to the gym.
When lifting heavier and heavier weights, raising the kundalini is a walk through the park! Think about the Super Saiyans for example😎.

Thank you so much, everyone. This thread has allowed me to receive the reassurance I needed, in response to the concerns I had in my original post. I shall maintain persistence in yoga!

I'm worried that somehow the effects of yoga aren't reaching me as much as it should or would as with other people, but I can at least feel the energy buzz very strongly.

The energy buzz is what matters the most. You can take a few days off in between sessions to let the body acclimatize. Or do some other form of physical activity if you wish. I also can't do the full split. Everybody's hip structure to arm and leg length is build differently. The most important thing is you do the best you can, and give yourself a compliment at the end of a session or workout. With powerlifting my training partner has a really strong deadlift, where my squat is my strongest point. So it's not just a excuse. But the most important thing is you try! The basic principles matter the most. In my experience, just stretching makes the muscles feel worn out. It's like a elastic stretch it to much and it will lose it's elasticity and strength. you also workout at a gym or a form of strength training? That will give you even more buzzing!!!

I'm glad to hear that I at least have the ability to feel the energy buzz, because lying down for 15 minutes is my favorite part hahaha. I've never thought about taking a day off when doing yoga, as I thought it's something that needs to be done daily.

It's such an integral part of my routine, that it'd feel like something's missing, if I were not to do it. But if one day off is something the body might need from time to time, I could see to it and observe ensuing effects.

When I first started doing yoga I couldnt even sit up straight with straight legs on the floor.
I still have trouble with forward bends and when you look at people it is as if they fully bend at the hips, keeping their backs straight.
If you do saddle split or w/e it is called, if you do not have enough range with straight legs like I do, you dont have gravity working for you either. you can reach forward as much as you want, but if some part just doesnt want to bend further, then whats the point.
You arent using the full range of mobility in the hips either at that point. By focussing on one leg only you could go further..
But also when I was doing the happy baby pose that was in one of lydia's chakra yoga posts I noticed that I was pushing a range of motion I wasnt even slightly reaching just doing the hatha yoga sample thats posted on the website.
What I mean to say is, we all are different with different areas to work on that all need a different approach.

Yeah, I had trouble with the locust, and especially the bow, where you hold onto your ankles while lying on your stomach. I couldn't even get them off the ground at first, since my lower back was so weak, but now I'm able to do it better!

That tells me there is indeed some improvements to my ability to hold those asanas, even if I still have yet to manage to do things like the full split and toe touches.

I've read before it took someone 2 years for them to finally be able to reach their toes even doing yoga everyday. Everyone is different. You just have to keep going and it's guaranteed eventually your body will be able to be incredibly flexible. These problems might be due to past life problems and most likely can be seen in your chart.

The point here is to keep going. A whole year of you doing this is awesome. Keep up the good work.

Wow, 2 years. Though, I guess on a path to immortality, even 2 years might not be very long. I've found that not only consistency, but also persistence is key to advancement, especially knowing that each session builds upon the last.

Thinking about how eventually I'll be able to perform the asanas in full extension and form at some point, is what allows me to continue this every day without discouragement.
But of course I still had some doubts, hence me stating the things in my original post, haha.

This meditation helped me getting more flexible, especially focusing on shoulders and knees chakras. Also focusing on coxal area while doing yoga is very important, feel that energy is free

In the session you can spell afirmations like "my energies flow smoothly and continuously through the body, without blockages, in the most positive and happy way for me". I like to vibrate and Aum Suryae while doing this, also don t forget to visualize yourself full of white gold energy.

Ahh, when I see these articles, I feel bad for slacking of.

I would like to ask something. :)

As a little note, I've noticed that there are certain poses in yoga that I like a lot, and they will relax me a lot, but I don't really like their opposite poses. :P (for example, I love the plow pose in yoga, I can fall asleep in that haha, but I hate the fish or the other one where you bent backwards and touch the ankles -don't remember the name)

I also see that they need to be done in specific sequence and not just randomly (the plow pose is always following the shoulderstand, as an example).

So, first question is: if I enjoy one pose more than its opposite, does it mean that this pose empowers or activates a part of my physical/spiritual body that was inactive? Or a specific chakra? But why do I dislike its opposite so much?

Second question: do you have a person teaching yoga on YouTube (or having yoga sessions/videos on YouTube) that you can recommend? I had always been doing the hatha yoga pdf that HP Pythia had at some point shared in the yahoo groups. But nowadays I see that I become "bored" with it. I've stopped doing yoga for a long time now, but whenever I've tried starting again, the hatha yoga from the pdf is not as pleasurable anymore.
I also don't wish to go to a yoga center as I neither trust the teachers, nor do I want to spend the time needed to go to whatever place is not near my house or region.

Second question:

yoga with Adrienne is good, she has videos dedicated to specific yoga Asanas.
Also the book: "Anatomy of Hatha Yoga" By David Coulter is very good in my opinion.

Lydia wrote before to make sure to be using proper form. Like for example if you're doing the straddle stretch or trying to reach your toes, flexing your thigh muscles a bit helps with the stretch. Also using props to help the stretch works as well. I have been using this advice along with breathing correctly. Also another good advice was from Stormblood when he said that when you do a stretch don't stretch all the way at first. Be in that position for 2 minutes where you feel comfortable then for another 1-3 minutes push yourself for a good stretch. Therefore each asanas should take about 3-5 minutes.

Hi! Your post is great and helps me remember why I practice yoga every day, but there are several things that I still do not understand, I hope I can get a little help with that.

1-. What is the difference between hatha yoga and kundalini yoga? or are they the same with different names?

2-. I also received good advice from one of the gods, he told me to work each chakra one by one and it would take me from a month to a year for each one. Also he told me to start with the base chakra, he mentioned that I should use a stone of the same color that the base chakra (I hope that helps someone because I am sure it applies to all the other chakras), my other question is, how do I know when I am ready? to move on to the next chakra?

Thank you for reading, i do really appreciete it

Thought I’d ask.

If I could get input from someone who’s been doing yoga for a couple of years(5-10) that would be great...

I’ve been doing the same yoga routine for a couple years now I’d say 3-4 years, and have only added alterations here and there or at least until I mastered and fully stretched the Asanas I’m working on.

The main asanas are the ones that HPS Pythia had in a PDF and I’ve added a couple asanas in between. The hold time for each is not long(15-30 seconds) hope that’s not too short ?

Anyways, looking to see if someone can share how they approach yogic progress, in terms of hold times, proper techniques, using different sequences and asanas and if this is necessary, also the timing. I do believe perhaps I need a reliable source that can be referenced throughout my journey of practice.

Perhaps someone can share their experiences with the aforementioned, I would really appreciate it.

It is very normal to have some poses that you dislike more than others, same as with those you like better, as mentioned. I think this is anatomically based as well as where your nadis blockages may reside. It is actually a bit interesting, because I love the fish pose, but not the plow that much. We are opposites in that way.

Even though the sequences are instructed to be followed in order, this is just a "should" and not a "must". It is ideal, because of how it connects, revive and open the Nadis' and chakras' energies. Making the energy flow in the right directions. I have found by experience it is okay to "construct" your own Yoga program after the initial program that is given by Pythia. However, it is very important to do the opposite direction with yoga. This doesn't mean if you do a normal stand, you have to do a head stand. Inverted asanas can be excluded if they are not comfortable for you. What is important here is if you move to the right, also move to the left. This is VERY important. I have seen some teachers neglecting this in modern programs, which can prove disaster. The energies will become stuck by imbalance, and not free.

Every Yoga program should include, again should, not a must, but highly ideal:
Standing asanas, sitting asanas, forward bending asanas, backward bending asanas, side to side bending asanas, twisting asanas, inverted asanas (these can be left out for those who have medical problems or feel a strong discomfort as I mentioned in the above) and lying asanas.

Yoga is very different from any other exercise program as Yoga should never be stressed. It is a right-brained exercise. It is important you are relaxed. If there are positions your body is not flexible yet to do, or have difficulties with, this should be practiced anyway, but outside of your regular Yoga rutine.

I will have to try to find more You-tube videos that is good, and good potential websites. I will have to come back with this. One You-tube video that was given is great and given by HP Mageson (is he still a HP? I am not up to date on these things):

I hope this clarified some things.

1. Hatha is asanas held with relaxed breathing, or long deep breathing, or oceanic breathing. Kundalini also involves breath of fire, and movement and at times mantra combined with the asanas. Kundalini yoga often has rapid arm movements in a sequence, as an example. Here is my post on Kundalini yoga: https://ancient-forums.com/viewtopic.php?p=246980

2. It isn't necessarily stones relating by color. Rose quartz, a pink crystal, is wonderful for the Heart/Center, as an example. But generally it is often of the same color. As for how to know when you are ready to move onto the next chakra, I'm not going to reply as I think you had posted a topic about this and got replies on that.

I've been doing for more than 10 years so I'll answer :)

I've mixed it up over the years, and also did other forms of yoga (vinyasa) which helped my hatha program overall, as I learned more and opened nadis in new ways. But I keep going back to my hatha. I'll do a vinyasa sequence online, mix it up, once a week or so. I did it more often a few years ago, but don't feel the need for it so much these days.

15-30 seconds is fine. Yoga is a journey, there were some asanas I could barely hold, and in time I could cold for longer.

Some people do best by sticking with the same thing. I need variety. Some days I will do more twists, some days less. There are some days when I can't hold a particular asana for very long, but in the eternal scope of things, I am making progress. I think that's something to keep in mind, that yoga isn't like a software program and we are not hardware. We are organic, and our yoga practice needs to be organic too. It all depends on what our body and soul needs at the time.

There are lots of books on yoga available for free online, if you feel drawn to reading one. I've linked some before.

As for "a reliable source that can be referenced throughout my journey of practice", that might be difficult, as most sources are for specific parts, not as a whole journey.

Or do Calisthenics if your unable to go to the gym.
When lifting heavier and heavier weights, raising the kundalini is a walk through the park! Think about the Super Saiyans for example😎.

Hello brother. I want to ask you a question regarding this. Could you give me your email? I want to discuss regarding some strength training programs.
