wow she sounds VERY angry and unpleasent.

[ZENSIBLE]

SHE is more and of a boot camp instructor rather then yoga practitioner. Too stiff and rigid with her speech.

As above as below , Our external reality is a reflexion of Our internal one If she manages to let go of the A.R. perhaps it could be smoother.

Perfect instruction technically!!! i often recommend one starts Hatha yoga with the sun salutation. Add one ever day till you hit 30 then do at least a 20 minute relaxation.

b great do great things and have your greatest year ever.

rudra.. direct disciple of vishnu. oh if you this this video is harsh then experience either vishnu or Iyengar -- maybe the two greatest hatha teachers ever to teach in the usa. both would yell at us.. but we god it. we stretched perfect and to the fullest extent.

@anthonycrystal33 Not at all, just a comment as you can see from the majority of the comments you get the idea i hope .

@ZENSIBLE  are you the "Yoga Police"?

This is a short explanation of Sun Salutations or Surya Namaskar. Sivananda Class follows classic yoga movements, no aditional modifications to the poses are introduced. Of course, once the class knows the Surya Namaskar twelve steps, the teacher won't talk that much and she will be able to give silence and harmony to the students. But it is difficult to show that in a 2 minutes video, because Sivananda Yoga class performs at least 8 loops of Surya Namaskar, depending on the class level.

I think the instruction is alittle harsh ?

[WakeUp2Love]

seems more like studio/fitness yoga than authentic yoga that Sivananda taught. But what can we expect?....this is part of the culture clash.

[saranyan1]

Yoga seems just that easy and good business these days!!

Getting rid of Asthma and Gastritis seems to have become the aim.

Who practices the yoga of Hatha yoga pradipika and gehranda samhita!!

[mevaishnavi]

Hatha Yoga - The physical practice, if you read the Hatha Yoga Pradipka you will understand better.

Surya Namaskar means "Salutations to the Sun" they are like prayers and there is a chant that goes with it.

[mevaishnavi]

OMG not Sivananda !! Awful !!
