Guest guest Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Namaste Mani, I also have been practicing for about the same amount of time and find that I have gravitated towards practicing these limbs of ashtanga yoga. Specifically, I started practicing some dharana excercises about 6 months ago to aid concentration and sense withdrawal (pratyahara) and to prepare my mind/self for dhyana. I find that making a separate time in my day to practice these aspects separately has it's own benefits and rewards and adds a different dimension to the practice overall, like opening another door. I'm interested to know how you approach these limbs and if you have only recently come to practice them separately to your asana practice or have been practicing them for some time already? Did you learn from an ashtanga yoga teacher or from another teacher? Is there a specific technique that you use? I would really be very interested to know if you would be willing to share. Thanks Helen hello_i_am_here_hi <hello_i_am_here_hi wrote: hi lucy, i am also following ashtanga for last 5 years. i am new to this group. have you practiced dhyan,dharna,samadhi also. i think after doing asanas for some time to get a more stable postures one should move towards these aspects. pl. share your views. i am mani from india. bye mani. 7 Mail has just got even bigger and better with unlimited storage on all webmail accounts.
