A teaching session on the theory and daily application of Svara Yoga, the yoga of the vital breath. "Svara Yoga gives indications about your whole life. It provides information about your past and what is happening in the present, and it offers information about the future." "When you want to see the moon, you should see it. The breath must flow through the right and left nostril. What to do if it is not? You cannot say, 'Moon, stop for a while; I will open my eyes then.' Time does not wait for anyone." The lecturer explains this ancient science of breath rhythms, relating it to the Ida and Pingala nadis. He details practical techniques, such as checking the active nostril upon waking and stepping forward with the corresponding foot to ensure success in daily activities. The talk covers its predictive potential, warns against suicide, and uses the observation of the new moon as a key practice to harmonize with cosmic cycles for health and clarity.
