Atmavikasa Centre Of Yogic Sciences

Atmavikasa means evolution of the Self. The Atmavikasa Center Of Yogic Sciences was established in 1998 by Yoga genius Acharya Venkatesha and Acharye Hema. In a world where Yoga is being equated to nothing more than a prosperous business prospective, Atmavikasa aims at the traditional yogic values and the revival ofn culture.

Atmavikasa is not a mere Yogasana instructing school. On the contrary, it is an integrated center of Physical, Intellectual and Philosophical yogic Sciences. Hence a range of yogic sciences like Asana, Pranayama, Meditation, Sanskrit, Yoga sutras, kriyas, Mudras and chanting are taught here with Sincerity, focus and their natural following - perfection.

We know the clear difference between a Yoga Guru and a Yoga instructor. Hence, at Atmavikasa, the students are not instructed to follow what we say, but are taught to practice what we follow with full heart and consciousness. Our aim is to be pure and to provide, to the sincere practitioners, a strong inclination towards Yogic life, where even their commonest of actions are based upon the principles of Love, Divinity and Yoga.

Atmavikasa Asana System

Atmavikasa system is an integration of four dimensions:

• Physical
• Physiological
• Intellectual
• Spiritual

Any course at Atmavikasa, in general and the asana course in special, essentially comprises of all the above factors. Hence, our Asana system, which is a composition of ten sequences, which are further divided as Primary, intermediate and advanced, is characterized by the following features.

• Alignments: An asana is not a mere physical shape. But it is actually a set of contradictory, self-balancing forces acting upon various organs of the body. In order to gain stability and comfort as described in the yoga sutras of Patanjali [Sthira Sukhamasanam], one should know the exact location where each organ of the body should be placed. This concept of arrangement of various parts of the body according to the consistency-requirements of the asana is executed through alignments.
• Dynamics: It is very much essential to know the extent of energy flow in various organs, in order to establish stability in the asana. Alignments provide consistency from outside; where as awareness about the channels of prana flow provides internal stability.
• Constant self awareness: Though teachers are required for providing a suitable inclination to a student, they should essentially become their own masters in the course of time. Many systems of yoga provide physical adjustments either through manual adjustments or through props. Though it may be useful to a student in the beginning, there is a danger of being addicted to them. We believe that an asana should bloom naturally like a flower. Just like a flower dies if made to bloom forcefully, the intelligence suffers and loses its brilliance due to excessive physical support. Therefore, in Atmavikasa asana system, we do not provide any manual support. In fact, THE TEACHER DOES NOT TOUCH THE STUDENT at all. But, we make the student comprehend the asana through special techniques which are unique to our style. We train the intelligence of the student to control the body without external aides. This makes the student his own teacher in the course of time.
• Spirituality: As the yoga sutras of Patanjali rightly instructs, practice without detachment makes the mind unstable. Many systems believe that spirituality being the highest goal of all practices, should be taught in the very end - when the right time comes. But, our approach is contrary to the popular myth. We believe that detachment is an integral part of practice and should be enforced from the very beginning. Hence from day1, we focus on the factor that every practitioner is much higher than the body and therefore has the natural capacity to control it. This attitude helps a practitioner to quickly transcend the limitations of the body and enter the spiritual zone which leads to Atmavikasa [Self-realization].

The Kandy Samadhi Centre

kandy samadhi centre Samadhi Spa for the Spirit!

Fifty minutes northeast of Kandy the fertile landscape becomes a mass of lush vegetation reverberating with unfamiliar birdsong. The human populace too seem a different breed, profligate with smiles and allowing their abundant good sat sung to spill over and cloak the visitor. Go past the triangular ambalama and up the steps where you squeeze past the statue of a giant Hindu goddess - half woman, half horse.

Inside the entrance hall at Samadhi you are watched over by a silk tapestry depicting seven Buddhist monks each holding a lotus blossom in their hand. Each monk is a different shade of brown. Likewise, the cultural diversity of this island is reflected in the villagers, who form the core of what makes Samadhi run smoothly; they are unspoiled and courteous; every man, woman or boy will calmly break from sweeping the stone pathway, lighting the oil lamp or picking fresh produce for your lunch to wish you “Ayubowan!” the traditional Sinhala welcome which means “Let there be long life!”

Samadhi weaves its magic on you from the moment you enter through the massive Kandyan doorway set into stone. Suri mama, the soft-spoken guardian of Samadhi and its Manager, is there to greet you. He is also resident artist who is responsible for the murals of Tantric art on the walls.

Samadhi nurtures the spirit, calms the mind

The inspiration for the design and architecture was born of meditation. And so you willingly leave your city husk behind at the gates…with no signal for mobile phones, it is the perfect opportunity to let nothing interrupt the sounds of forest birdsong, of tree frogs and crickets and the whisper of the breeze from the trees.

The thirteen pavilions, which lean out of the hillside, are veritable temples of tranquility. They are designed to make you feel you are the only person staying here. Privacy is everything. Yet there are no unnecessary walls.

This results in a truly serene environment surrounded by urns, art and treasures dating back to a time Kandy was a Royal realm. Here everything is king-sized. The Indonesian teak bed in a double room is spacious enough to sleep three people comfortably. But even the smallest suite provides a four-poster bed to dream in.

Surrender your senses

The spacious verandahs of each suite of rooms give onto paddy fields, nearby mountains and bench terraces filled with herb gardens or pineapples. Bamboos reach out with their four-fingered leaves to fan a breeze at you.

In the surrounding natural forest, Mango, Toddy Palm, Mahogany and Jak trees rub necks with giant bamboo, Avocado and Chinese Guava. The Kukul- Oya River meets the Hulu-Ganga, conveniently creating several spots for river bathing amongst the rocks and baby rapids. Here Plumbago (graphite) was found in lumps amongst the pebbles. But the locals had since been driven to eke out a meager living selling fruit and vegetables off roadside stalls.

Sushumna Yoga

Sonja Appel: Founding Director (ERYT 500, YACEP, PPNCT, Mindfulness Educator)
Sonja started her journey in yoga 20 years ago with the late Shri K Pattabhi Jois from Mysore, learning the authentic Mysore self practice of Ashtanga - Vinyasa. From whom she has his blessing to teach. Sonja is certified by the 'British School of Yoga' in Hatha & Meditation & also certified as a 'Vibrant Living Teacher' in Hatha Flow and a pre + post natal, children + teens teacher with Santosha Yoga in Bali.

Having studied intensely, mainly in London, India and Bali she believes that 'living yoga' in its essence helps to impart her knowledge better and more succinctly.
Sonja started practicing yoga and mindfulness many years ago and has intensive years of experience teaching yoga. She is also registered with Yoga Alliance, E-RYT 500 and has taught over 60 000+ hours of Yoga & Teacher Training. Sonja has devised her own practise in yoga called ‘Sushumna Yoga' which is a carefully worked out vinyasa flow, meditation & pranayama, that encourages mindfulness and in the process, this helps to unleash all of our innate kundalini Shakti. The flow is spontaneous and she mixes up the asanas in interesting ways, with the help of inspiring music, always ending with a deep relaxing meditation (Yoga nidra). As in Ashtanga - drishti, bandhas, ujjayi breath, counting & vinyasa is always employed.

"I believe in an holistic approach to the study of yoga, giving people a well-rounded yoga education. I combine alignment techniques of the body, with breath techniques for calming and balancing the mind. I also use focus and visualization to balance the body and brain with chanting and music for inspiration and concentration. This helps to enhance Meditation (the ultimate reason for the practice of asana (postures). "My philosophy behind the practice of postures has to relate to a wider content including all the 8 limbs of a proper yoga practice."

Many do not understand the concept of yoga. Some think it is just physical exercise for health, some think it is a religion, and some think it is a psychological system. All this is based on a misunderstanding of yoga. Yoga is simply a relationship that harmonises our mind, body and souls. The word yoga originated from the root word in Sanskrit yuj, and also comes from the biblical word, yoke. Both mean joining together or to unite. Yoga is the union of an individual consciousness with Infinite Consciousness. A yogi or yogini is a person who leans completely on the Supreme Consciousness, God, or Universal Energy, until they have merged their individual self with the Infinite Self.

Yoga is a technology that expands one’s awareness. It begins with the reality that every human mind has both Infinite and Creative potential. However, this unlimited potential can be limited according to one’s level of awareness. Awareness varies and gives one a variety of choices. To break the unconscious limits one needs a technology.

This technology must expand the calibre and capacity of the mind to establish equilibrium, to control the physical structure and experience the Infinite Self. The techniques of Kundalini and Hatha Yoga; with its various off-shoots i.e. Ashtanga, Iyengar, Sushumna Yoga etc, create an owner’s manual for Human Consciousness. It explores your dimensions, depth, nature, and potential as a human. This is all that yoga means.

Yog-Ganga Centre For Yoga Studies

Swati and Rajiv Chanchani founded the Yog-Ganga Centre for Yoga Studies in June 1988 under the guidance of Yogacharya B.K.S. Iyengar. The centre’s aims are fivefold:
To promote the study of yoga philosophy and practice in the tradition of the revered sage Patanjali and as elucidated by Yogacharya B.K.S. Iyengar, Geeta S. Iyengar, and Prashant S. Iyengar.
To learn yoga within the broader fabric of Indian culture especially through art, architecture, dance, language, literature and music.
To situate yoga as a subject that is in harmony with nature, and to endorse action that leads to protection of the earth’s environment.
To advance public health and community well being through the study of yoga and Ayurveda.
To create a space where like-minded people can gather to discuss and advance all the above.
The Yog-Ganga Centre was initially based in Mussoorie, which is in the lower Himalayas. In 2002 the centre was shifted to a quiet, forested locality of neighboring Dehradun.
This centre comprises of a specially designed building constructed of brick and locally mined limestone. This building encloses a 1500 sq.ft. well equipped yoga hall, a library, a venue for lectures and demonstrations, a reception and other spaces. A small amphitheater, well-landscaped gardens on terraced slopes abounding in fruit trees, shrubs, medicinal plans, and flowers make the situation idyllic for the reflection, study and the practice of Yoga. Eighty species of birds, monkeys, deer, pine martens, mongooses, and other wildlife frequent the gardens.
