Matt, KY v. Hatha

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam Sheri, Matt,

 

I'd just like to add to Sheri's comment, because I do other yoga as well,

including Hatha:

 

"The focus, pacing and many of the modalities of hatha and ky feel

quite differnet to me. It took a lot of adjusting for me, and I went thru a

lot of resistance (in the beginning hatha felt "right" and for example the

fast pace of repititions say, of camel ride, felt "wrong".)

 

- When I began Hatha

I'd compare it to KY and it was 'different', I didn't get that uplifting

'exhilerating' energy like I did from Kundalini. Then I learned to just

let the Hatha be what it is and I learned to enjoy it, in fact breathing into

and holding asanas was a welcome addition to the hours of pranayam

meditation I did.

 

So where am I with it now, I still do some Hatha for Sadhana sometimes.

 

I got many of the same feelings as Sheri, only in reverse, the Hatha was too

slow,

'need to to do some BOF!' But if you can 'disengage' the 'professor' while you

try KY and don't compare the 2 WHILE PRACTICING, then you'll feel

it in its pure form, you might even learn to enjoy it. BTW I get same energy

from Hatha its just not as intense and its much slower.

 

Blessings
