Part 1. The Antarayas
During the first couple of weeks of the Introducing Sadhana Program start to look at the obstacles that a practitioner faces when starting out in a practice of Yoga. The obstacles are known as the Antarayas. As you consider the Antarayas, you will commence your self directed practice of Yoga.
Week 1 & 2 – The Antarayas
You have two tasks during Part 1. These tasks are:
- Commence your self-directed practice following the Practice Structure document in the handouts section; and
- Complete the activity ‘Introducing the Antarayas’
You should review the Practice Structure immediately as you will need to start planning your practice for the week. If you are unsure about the sequence of the AMS Virasana cycle you can find the sequence here. After each practice make sure you record your practice in the practice log template provided. Submit your practice logs for Part 1 via Yoga Vidya by Tuesday of Week 3.
As well as following the Practice Structure, an audio recording of a Yoga Mandir class is provided which you can follow along to. You can follow this recording at anytime during weeks 1 & 2. Make sure you record this sequence, as well as the sequences from any other classes you attend in your practice log. If you are attending a led practice at Yoga Mandir or at another Yoga school you should also record this sequence within your log.
You can complete the activity ‘Introducing the Antarayas’ at any time during Weeks 1 and 2
