Hi All:

It's great that you are carrying on with the Yahoo thread discussions.

However, we are in the process of migrating to the new AYP Forums, and
request that you continue your Yahoo thread discussions over there, and start new topics in the new forums.

In order to make this transition as smooth as possbile I am copying all notes posted here to the corresponding threads in the new AYP Forums Yahoo archive, so none of this will be lost.

It is time for all of you to be doing that. It will be much appreciated.

Pretty soon, the moderators here in the Yahoo forum will begin
rejecting new posts (except "forum feeder" inquiries) with the note -
"Please post in the AYP Forums at http://www.aypsite.com/plus/forum "

So, kindly migrate over there with the ongoing discussions. It will be
less copying and pasting for your Yogani. If others need reminders on
this, feel free to drop the hint gently now and then.

The new mantra is over there, so let's just favor it easily. :-)

The guru is in you.

Yahoo AYP Forum Archive Threads / Turning onto your right side

« Last post by Ute on July 16, 2005, 02:04:24 AM »

Victor,
I forgot one more thing. You'd keep the nostril dominance (for a while) when you sit up. You can change it by laying on the side opposite the notril you are trying to open.
Take care,
Ute

Victor,
I don't think it is a big deal under these circumstances, either. We are probably not long enough laying on the side to change nostril dominance. It's more, like another teacher said, about practicalities. It keeps students from ending up in each other faces, closer than they might be comfortable. Or did you question the concept of notril dominance ?
Take care,
Ute

Dear Victor,
This is not actually true.Throughout various times in the day we
breathe through either one nostril or the other.During the day it
keeps changing.There is actually a pranayama technique to swap the
nostril breathing over.When one experiences hot or cold energy it is
because of the ida and pingala and determined by which nostril is open
at the time.
It is also possible for another to open your sushumna allowing you to
breathe through both nostrils on a permanent basis.This is in
preparation for awkening of the K.

Referring to rolling on the right side. Rolling to the right opens up the
left nostril. The left nostril effects the ida, right brain and calm, moon
energy of shakti. Rolling to the left opens the right nostril, the
pingala, the solar, energizing prana. Rolling for me is based on "what is
next." Do I want to keep my students calm or send them out to work?

Yahoo AYP Forum Archive Threads / Yawning

Hi everyone -

I wanted to thank all the folks who were able to add information about
yawning. Now I don't feel like such a clutz and it is nice to know
that this phenomenon has been recognized before. The only question
remaining relates to the comments about "shifting". Can someone
elaborate a little more on that? I'm not quite sure I follow.

Thanks again!

Melissa

Yahoo AYP Forum Archive Threads / Poor Man's Bastrika

« Last post by Jim and His Karma on July 15, 2005, 09:07:38 AM »

quote: like you said and I agree, I can't speak for others experiences, only my own and what I have observed in others

That's very true. So I'm not sure why you're continuing to publicly dismiss cautions that Yogani has made (on the basis of working with a lot of people via email) and which I've concurred via my own experience (which was not, btw, due to hyperventilation - bastrika isn't just breathing fast; if it were, it wouldn't be much of a yoga practice). With respect and affection, Victor, I don't think it's responsible to generalize re: safety on the basis of your single personal experience in a public setting where people are reading along. I'm glad bastrika's gone smoothly for you. That's a good data point...and nothing more.

I too had this problem...  Turns out it was a ZoneAlarm (firewall) problem.  I turned zonealarm off, registered and then turned it back on and was able to then log into the forums.  Hope this helps

Yahoo AYP Forum Archive Threads / I was wondering... Yoga & Christianity

« Last post by msanjay75 on July 15, 2005, 04:08:43 AM »

This was certainly a totally different perspective of yoga and quite interesting (though I'm from a Hindu background). Most of the article's arguments were quite strong, but this one line in particular seemed to be missing something:

------------
If one is experiencing stress and needs to relax there are many ways to do this such as going for a walk, a picture show, playing sports, going out for dinner, taking a vacation than pursuing yoga.
------------

IMO this one line undermines his entire case - since it would be fairly clear to a lot of readers by now, through their own entire lifetime of everyday experiences: that these activities (especially a picture show) are merely self-deceptive temporary escape routes - which effectively procrastinate stress instead of actually confronting it :-)
