Svadya Yoga

At Yoga Minds we teach Svadya Yoga. An amalgamation of Tantric and Yogic practise and philosophy. A non dual approach.

Svadya means The Ultimate Truth and also To be tasted!

At Yoga Minds we teach Svadya Yoga. Svadya Yoga focuses on self realization. Who am I is the root question.

In many Hatha Yoga movements one has to go trough a series of practises and cleanings both physical and mental before one is ready for the big jump. Svadya Yoga approaches the whole awakening from a different angle. Instead of working your way step-by-step towards the desired goal, we go directly to the root of all suffering. The identification with a seperate individual.

When you find the answer to the question. Who am I. This identification falls away. Vanishes. The whole idea of a person becoming entlightened drops away. Of course we practise. We do asana, pranayama, bandha and mudra. And we discuss the scriptures such as the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and The Hatha Yoga Pradipika and many more. But we do not use them as a vast guide or program with the promise of a better life.

In the vision of Svadya Yoga it is not the person that should change or be better. You as you are right now, you are already perfect. Divine. The whole idea of improvement of the person is one of the major hurdles on your way to illumination. What you get to learn or maybe unlearn during asana practise is what can unravel the illusion you life in that is creating suffering.

And at the same time. When there is clarity about the true self. Ahimsa becomes no longer something you do but something that you are. All the Yamas and Niyamas will follow naturally. Are not vows anymore but mere logic. Words cannot capture this subtle revalation. The doer is no more. Being is what is left. This is closer than the breath.

So this could sound paradoxical to the mind but for the heart it is crystal clear. You get to see that nothing is permanent, not even the entlightend state. You'll understand that suffering and sadness are not the opposite of joy and love but way more the other side of the same coin. When you truly love someone. Pain and fear is included in the package. It is all one. And not like the quote on a tea bag. But like its is. Not the fairytale with the ' they life happily ever after'. But the direct experience of this truth.

How could you experience bliss if it was all there is ?

Not solely understanding this truth with your mind but feeling deeply with your whole being that is what is the ultimate rest.Like the picture on the left explains. How could you study the taste of an apple by reading a book ? Life should be tasted. You can only know and understand life if you life it. And this also means getting to know her dark sides. Your dark sides.

Awakening from the dream. Liberation (from suffering as you know it) . Not liberation for the person. Liberation from the person :-)

Welcome! An Invitation from yourself to yourself.
