Ananda Samsaara Yoga

Posted on October 13, 2012 By Sara Zen Studios of the Central Valley

Ananda and Samsaara are words that are derived from the Sanskrit, the language which is said to be the first language spoken in the world.

Ananda is a Sanskrit word whose meaning, according to the Bhagavad Gita, is “spiritual grace”, “supreme grace,” “eternal joy”, “transcendental bliss.” Ananda is the envelope of happiness, is to connect with our true essence, innerself. The more elevated inner happiness is called Ananda.

Samsaara means cycle of earthly existence. The cycle of death and rebirth to which life in the material world is bound. It is the endless cycle of birth and suffering and death and rebirth.

Ashtanga Yoga

Ashtanga Yoga is the eight fold path of yoga as outlined by Patanjali: yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhyana, samadhi. The Ashtanga method of asana practice was interpreted by T. Krishnamacharya and Sri K. Pattabhi Jois from an ancient text called the Yoga Korunta, which described a unique system of hatha yoga developed by Vamana Rishi. The system of Ashtanga Yoga is often called Classical Yoga. The modern practice of Ashtanga Yoga provides us with the tools to explore and uncover these deeper aspects of existence, and discover our interconnectedness with all living beings.
