sandeyeYoga Styles: Mahâ-Yoga
March 20th 2009 15:36
The translation of the word maha is great or supreme. There are two formats of Yoga currently using the title Maha Yoga.
Maha Yoga is also known as Kundalini Shaktipat or Siddha Yoga, a spiritually based Yoga practice. It enables the practitioner to perform Yoga postures and kriyas unconsciously through Kundalini meditation. The basis is that the divine inner energies automatically take the practitioner through the Yoga experience when allowed free reign. One simply sits and allows the natural flow to occur, bringing about the relevant meditational aspects for the individual's progress. A guru is sought to open up the awareness of Kundalini and initiate the energy flow.
The second style of Maha Yoga is a modern Yoga practice based in classes at an LA studio. Classes take 90 minutes and provide a variety of Yogic workouts focusing on relaxation. Many are music-backed, some involve chimes or chanting.
