March 18th 2009 16:38
Loknath Yoga is one of the more traditional Yoga practices, rather than a workout routine. Patanjali's Yoga sutra is the basis for this Ashtanga style practice. It was first developed by Shri Loknath Brahmachari who was born in 1730 and died in 1890. He was renowned for his Yogic skills and pranic healing ability, and he was so aware that he was able to inform his followeres that he was going to die moments before doing so. The style was then further formulated by Shri Thakur Janakinath Brahmachari who was born in 1965 in West Bengal, India. He is said to be the reincarnation of the former master Yogi.
Loknath Yoga includes Pranayama and gentle Asana practice. Postures are held for a short time at the start, but practitioners work up to maintaining the poses for a greater length of time and including meditation. The Mudras, Bandhas, and Kriyas are also a part of this tradition. The Yogic diet is involved with the proper practice of Loknath Yoga.
