Raja Yoga and International Yoga Day
at Yogareal 

International Yoga Day is on this coming Wednesday 21st June 2023.

These beautiful fantail pigeons are continually opening their heart, breathing, feeling and extending the front of the body and getting the breath to go up into the chest and into the head. Very expressive and extremely enchanting and exquisite to watch.

This straight away reminded us of the Raja Kapotasana (King Pigeon Pose) postures which require these qualities to come through and the energy to rise to the crown centre which is Sahasrar or Thousand Petal Lotus.

By breathing feeling, extending, and lifting out a person transforms their state from thinking or duality, to the state of unity consciousness or yoga – higher mind, breathing and feeling, ongoing awareness.  This feeling extends internally and externally.

We’ve been practicing the Raja Kapotasana postures since King’s Birthday. Classical Yoga is wanting everyone to transform hatha yoga or postures into Raja Yoga or Regal/Royal Yoga, which is the whole of the eight-fold path of classical yoga.  This happens when the breath moves up to the crown centre and a person experiences unified awareness.  Then the experience of ongoing meditation and yoga are there for everyone ongoing in their life.

To celebrate International Yoga Day, come to class at Yogareal as often as you can this week and ongoing to experience this for yourself.

Love

Rob & Theresa and the Yogareal Team
