Isha seeks to bring back classical yoga in its purest
form – not studio yoga, not book yoga or the various
innovations that are brought in around the world
without an understanding of the basic principles – but
proper classical yoga, which is a phenomenally
powerful science. It is a system that is precisely and
meticulously put together as a means of reaching
higher dimensions.
Last week in the Classical Yoga series, we looked at
Upayoga, a powerful practice which allows one to live
a more complete physical life. Today, we look at

Angamardana, a unique system of yoga that
strengthens both the physical and energy system.
Sadhguru: Angamardana is a unique system of yoga
which is almost completely lost these days.
Traditionally in classical yoga, Angamardana was
always alive. It is not like asanas, it is a very intense
exercise where you don’t need any equipment. You are
just using your body and building a completely
different level of physical strength and tenacity.
In Angamardana, you use your own body weight and
momentum to increase the flexibility of the muscle
over a period of time. It is just a twenty-five minute
process as it is being taught today by us, and in terms
of health and wellbeing it can do miracles. It is a
phenomenal process and is so complete. All you need
is a six-by-six space; your body is everything. So,
wherever you are you can do it. It is as effective in
building the body as any weight training is, and it does
not create any unnecessary stress on the system.

Many peoplewant big
experiencesbut they arenot willing to
transform
Even if you just look at it as an exercise form,
Angamardana will definitely pass the test. But
strengthening the muscle and bringing fat levels down
are just fringe benefits. The important thing about
whatever sadhana you are doing, whether it is
Angamardana or anything else, is that we are trying
to work up the energy system to a certain level of
energy and integrity of energy. The thing is to get
yourself into a state where you have a fully
functioning system, because only if it is fully
functioning can it be taken to heightened levels of
perception. A half-a-body or a half-a-being cannot be
taken to a full level of perception.
The word
“Angamardana” means
to have mastery over
your limbs or body
parts. Whatever action
you want to perform in
this world, how much
mastery you have over
your limbs determines
how well you are going

thoseexperiences.In yoga, youdon’t chase
anexperience,

how well you are going
to do it. I am not
talking about action in
terms of joining up a
sports team or
something. I am
making a distinction
between action that you
do for survival and
action that you do for
liberation. If you want
to do something for
your liberation and
particularly for the
liberation of everyone
else around you, you
should have some
mastery over your limbs. Mastery over limbs need not
necessarily mean you are going to be muscular or you
can climb up the mountain. That may also happen but
it is basically to strengthen the energy structure of the
body.
To give an analogy, if a person walks by, you can
pdfcrowd.comopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API
clearly see whether his body is well-exercised or not
simply by the way he walks. If you look at a person’s
face, you can see whether his mind is well-exercised or
not. Similarly, if you watch closely enough, whether
someone’s energy is well-exercised or not is very
distinctly there. What they can do and cannot do is
determined by this. Having complete mastery means
you can make your energies crackle. If you simply sit
here, the body will do things; you don’t have to go and
do things.
If grace has to transmit itself, you need to have an
appropriate body. If you do not have an appropriate
body and grace descends on you big-time, you will
only fuse out. Many people want big experiences but
they are not willing to transform their body to be able
to conduct those experiences. In yoga, you don’t chase
an experience, you only prepare. If your spiritual
process is something more than just talk-shop, that
means you should have some mastery over your
limbs.

I can understand why it is not taught online, but to have ayoga guru coming to the Ashram, who also sells books on yoga asana’s andvideos, isn’t it a little cynical saying that it isn’t wise to do any form ofYoga through the internet When Swami Ramdev ji does most of the pointsmentioned in the comment section? Like doing Yoga from the internet?
My first Yoga class was with Swami Ramdev ji, when he came to Coventry and through himI found my Sadhguru, I respect Swami Ramdev ji very much, I just find it weird whenmany Isha teachers and meditators say it’s not wise to do so and so, when Swami

many Isha teachers and meditators say it’s not wise to do so and so, when SwamiRamdev Ji does this all and he has alarge group of followers.
I know the differences of course, Swami Ramdev ji teaches itin exercise form!
But does that mean Swami Ramdev ji should not continue toteach it Yogic Asana’s and Pranayama in exercise form? My guru is Sadhguru but I value Swami Ramdev ji's

damages can be very huge. Its not a universal thing, differs from person to person. there are certain asanas avery strong and fit person should not do even though they can. its more than physical. there are some smallthings in yoga that you can learn from books or online and also teach to others. but yogasana from book orvideo is like selling a book on "How to perform heart surgery with kitchen knife - for dummies". if you doimproper yoga there is immediate side effects that you will defenitely realize either in immediate future orlater. you might not even know if it was that one asana you tried to do sometime when you were a kid. I cantotally understand your concern and am happy to see the humbleness in you, but we are just asking fortrouble with book and video yoga.

Namaskaram,
Can anyone please compare hatha yoga and angamardana, in terms of both physical and energy benefits. 1△ ▽
• Reply •
vs • 2 years ago> Vishal Vangara
Instead of comparing, I would say you should probably do both because each is of a different nature. :)I dont know much about energy benefits because that's kind of beyond my perception, but from the POV ofphysical health and fitness, angamardana is simply incredible. The kind of buzz that regular practice brings toyour body is like nothing else.

oh! Practices in Isha are never taught over the internet because yoga is an ancient science.Making even the smallest mistake in a mudra can change the impact of the practice.Volunteers are constantly correcting the smallest detail about a participant's practice bothduring the program and afterwards during Sathsang. So for something as powerful asAngamardhana, it is definitely not to be learned over the internet. As powerful as the practicecan be if it is done right, am sure it can be equally harmful if it is done wrong. and with internet,there is every chance you can get it wrong. So please wait until you can learn it in person. Ifyou are in the US or UK, there are Hata Yoga teachers trained meticulously by Isha. Pleasewrite to Isha USA or UK and they will probably guide you to the nearest teacher.
