I am a Sivananda Yoga teacher in Wisconsin, USA. This is a good video to share with beginners to help them practice the sun salutations & learn some classical asana & pranayama.
You may do 6 rounds of sun salutation and increase the holding time in other asanas. Do 3 rounds of kapalabhati with 120 pumping each and breath retention 30-60 Sec after each round of kapalabhati. Do 7-10 rounds of alternate nostril breathing.
This is such a perfect lesson for beginners... because other 30mis classes includes headstands wich is too difficult for the moment. Very grateful. Greetings from belgium
i appreciate the description of physical benefits which gives an added bonus of healing understanding to the practice. I also enjoyed very much the voicing of the concluding praises.
greetings- to build on that, reciting benefits during the practice assists in focus and linking mind to the efforts of the body. … done during long class- this is only short class i know that includes. 🙏🏼
Thank you for posting this 30 min session video. Your voice and guidance makes it so much more interesting and serene. It is really helpful to make sure to have yoga included in daily workout👍😊
Really helpful when one is hard-pressed for time . With this short class , just devoting 30 Min One will not have to skip the daily practice . Wonderful !
Práctico casi todos los días desde que conozco este maravilloso canal. Un baluarte por mantener la tradición de los maestros. Miles de saludos desde Colombia. Los amo. Shante, shante, shante.
Wonderful class ! whenever I am hardpressed for time, I take this short class. But then when class ended, with the energy built up, I wish I could carry on a little longer .Thank you for posting this class which really helps self practice at home for people who can not go out.
Smita This is one of the best renditions.👏👏 Good sequencing, great voice and guidance. I use this very frequently (of course I am a Sivananda student). Would be grateful if you can do a longer version as well for 60 minutes. 🙏🙏
@emergenceclement thanks for pointing out… equal time was spent on both sides but in order to make the video of 30 min duration, it was edited and it’s possible that time of 2 sides of the posture was not kept equal. sorry for this inconvenience 🙏
@@Smitayogalife I see ☺️ no worries. But if one day you feel like uploading a new version of this wonderful yoga sequence, even if it's little more than 30 minutes, please let me know 🙏🏼💟
👃👃👃 Thank you so much Madam.You have magnanimous voice, it's vibrating with some positive power.Please kindly upload a video for complete Pranayama. God bless you.🙌🙌🙌
I am an enthusiastic Sivananda practitioner, have been to North American ashrams over a dozen times. But do not have 90 min on most days. Love the 30-40 min format. Could you record more?
Thank you for this lovely class, you covered the main Sivananda poses and explained very well. Would have liked a longer sivasana but undersand it's hard to do in 30 min. Love the music as well. I feel relaxed :) Om Shanti
Thanks much.. Yes due to time constraint we could not include a long final relaxation..kindly use other videos ( 60/90 minutes) on this channel for a longer final relaxation..

Smita's 30 min version is just the right yoga practice for busy people (like myself). I need to get out of my house by 6:30am, and it fits in so well with my early morning routine. I put on her RUclips for the added ambience! Even though I have been practising this for some months now (also other yoga routines in previous years), I still can not do certain poses fully - Halasana (feet is still a good 1 feet above the floor), Ardha Matsyendrasana (elbow does not go past the knee), Surya Namaskar (palms do not plant flat on the floor). Any tips and way around these? Like, a couple of years ago, one RUclips teacher gave a very practical tip for Mayurasana - use a looped belt placed just above the elbow, which will keep the elbow secure in the tummy and not allow the hands to slip off. Any such tricks for above? Look forward to your advices.
yes there is no age bar to practice surya namaskar but it depends on your general health. Pl get in touch personally to discuss , in case of poor health condition ..
Samita mam...this is the best sequence of yoga poses for fitness... please tell me that how many repetition could I do of single yoga pose of this sequence.... please reply me mam.... thank you !!
I wake up at 6am before my toddlers, and do this every morning! Thank you for creating this 30 minute version, it’s really appreciated!

@emergenceclement thanks for pointing out… equal time was spent on both sides but in order to make the video of 30 min duration, it was edited and it’s possible that time of 2 sides of the posture was not kept equal.
sorry for this inconvenience 🙏

Look up Google for Opening Prayers Sivananda
1st prayer: Gajananam - invocation to the deity who prevents obstacles: greenmesg.org/stotras/ganesha/gajananam_bhutaganadi_sevitam.php
2nd Prayer to Goddess of Learning, to help us assimilate what we are doing and why, so our learning is established (in yoga):
या कुन्देन्दुतुषारहारधवला या शुभ्रवस्त्रावृता
या वीणावरदण्डमण्डितकरा या श्वेतपद्मासना ।
या ब्रह्माच्युतशंकरप्रभृतिभिर्देवैः सदा पूजिता
सा मां पातु सरस्वति भगवती निःशेषजाड्यापहा ॥१॥
Yaa Kunde[a-I]ndu-Tussaara-Haara-Dhavalaa Yaa Shubhra-Vastra-[A]avrtaa
Yaa Viinnaa-Vara-Danndda-Mannddita-Karaa Yaa Shveta-Padma-[A]asanaa |
Yaa Brahma-Acyuta-Shankara-Prabhrtibhir-Devaih Sadaa Puujitaa
Saa Maam Paatu Sarasvati Bhagavatii Nihshessa-Jaaddya-Apahaa ||1||
Meaning:
1.1: (Salutations to Devi Saraswati) Who is Pure White like Jasmine, with the Coolness of Moon, Brightness of Snow and Shine like the Garland of Pearls; and Who is Covered with Pure White Garments,
1.2: Whose Hands are Adorned with Veena (a stringed musical instrument) and the Boon-Giving Staff; And Who is Seated on Pure White Lotus,
1.3: Who is Always Adored by Lord Brahma, Lord Acyuta (Lord Vishnu), Lord Shankara and Other Devas,
1.4: O Goddess Saraswati, Please Protect me and Remove my Ignorance completely.
3rd Prayer: Finally, prayer to the teacher/Guru so last line of prayer below is replaced with pranaam to Sri Sivananda Guru and Swami Vishnudevananda who is the authority on Hatha Yoga and established the teachers' training course of the Sivananda Ashram
ॐ नमः शिवाय गुरवे
सच्चिदानन्द मूर्तये ।
निष्प्रपञ्चाय शान्ताय
निरालम्बाय तेजसे ॥
Om Namah Shivaaya Gurave
Sac-Cid-Aananda Muurtaye |
Niss-Prapan.caaya Shaantaaya

Meaning:
1: Om, Salutations to the Auspicious Guru ...
2: ... Who is an Embodiment of Sat-Cit-Ananda (Existence - Consciousness - Bliss),
3: Who is Free from (i.e. Beyond) Manifoldness, and Who is Tranquil,
4: Who is the Self-Effulgent Divine Illumination without any external Support. (Replaced with: Om Sivanandaya te namah, Sri Vishnudevanandaya te namah...)
4th Prayer to the Goddess Narayani wife of Lord Vishnu to bless our minds with auspiciousness so no negative thought interferes with us while doing task at hand (in this context, yoga);
सर्वमङ्गलमाङ्गल्ये शिवे सर्वार्थसाधिके ।
शरण्ये त्र्यम्बके गौरि नारायणि नमोऽस्तु ते ॥
Sarva-Manggala-Maanggalye Shive Sarvaartha-Saadhike |
Sharannye Trya[i-A]mbake Gauri Naaraayanni Namo[ah-A]stu Te ||
Meaning:
1: (Salutations to You O Narayani) Who is the Auspiciousness in All the Auspicious, Auspiciousness Herself, Complete with All the Auspicious Attributes, and Who fulfills All the Objectives of the Devotees (Purusharthas - Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha),
2: Who is the Giver of Refuge, With Three Eyes and a Shining Face; Salutations to You O Narayani.
Shantih is chanted thruce at the end to ask for peace from three forces that bring us sorrow/difficulties:
Misery 1: which arises due to our own body and mind. disease, unwellness of body and wanderings of the mind (such as desire, angry thoughts etc) that do not let us focus.
2. Misery 2: miseries caused by things and beings around us, in the world - whatever they be. Anything in the world.
3. Misery 3: misery caused by natural phenomena that obstruct our goals like fire, earthquakes, disasters, even climatic changes that cause misery #1
Hola, mi nombre es Elia, muy bueno el video, de mucha ayuda, ... podría ser en español, por favor ?? Namaste
