Yoga exercise with Vishwaguruji
The practice of Ānanda Āsana follows demanding yoga and meditation. Lie down and relax the whole body completely. Ānanda means to hold peace and all that is good. The exercise involves rolling from front to back like a walking child. It includes postures like Halāsana, holding the body straight with legs up. It proceeds to Dhanurāsana, stretching like an arrow. Finally, relax on the stomach or side. Human life involves the desire for happiness, the fear of illness and death, and the recognition that life is enough. We are all on the same path, not knowing who will depart first. Blessings for peace and oneness are offered.
"Ānanda means hold best, hold peaceful, hold everything that is good."
"We are human, we have three meanings: we want to be very happy. Second, we are very ill and afraid to die, and third is life, which is enough."
