Breath, Health & Pranayama

During the past 20 years of yoga practice my focus was always on Asanas or Postures.  I am happy to say after a visit to Rishikesh and some inspirational yoga instructors meditation is now taking a central role to my self-practice. 
A quote that I share today is the following "Through the practice of Pranayama, the energy trapped in neurotic, unconscious mental patterns may be released for use in more creative and joyful activity". 
**Asana Pranayama Mudra Bandha, Swami Satyananda Saraswati. Bihar, India.
In my own interpretation this means that what we perceive to be problems are just simple internal disbalances which Pranayama and yoga can solve easily with daily practice!! 
I was happy to celebrate my 51st birthday last week and to mark the occasion took selfies and compared the images to my physical appearance 2 years ago!  I am more than pleased with the results of a disciplined "daily yogic routine" and I am keen to share with students for online classes or a yoga studio.  My perception of priorities is to now show others a different way to take care of oneself through meditation and yoga practice.  
Namaste,
Michael Sands

Why I Love YouTube :-) A few Positive Ideas About Social Media

See LiveStream or On-Demand on YouTube of course !  @michaelsandsyoga7809 Recently someone made a comment to me that becoming famous or monetizing a YouTube channel is like winning the lottery!! I concur with this opinion BUT all the same see I the REAL REWARD is available NOW to everyone with an internet connection and way better than any Financial Gain!!  What are the 2 HUGE Gifts Social Media has given us for FREE? Digital Legacy - Memories, Photos, Events can be passed down by family generations to share the progress and the evolutions of our daily life before we become titled as "ancestors" ;-) Knowledge Transfer - We can leave informative takes on life, wisdom and even specific work or recreation "how to guides" to our descendants and future fellow humans on this planet!  Maybe we even share experiences that can give the next generation an evolutionary jump forwards whilst avoiding a repetition of any missteps!

Activating Chakras with Techno Music :-)

Music and mantras are an integrated part of Yogic Practices as they can assist in activating and enegizing the Prana in one's body!  I have been experimenting with a specific playlist of EDM music and applying a specific song for each Chakra!  The internal journey and experience has been very positive!! Therefore I am sharing the playlist here and will endeavour to share further ideas about each song's relation with a specific Chakra :-)  See Video soon!  :-) In addition I plan to give a guided meditation sequence Livestream on the YouTube Michael Sands Yoga Channel! @michaelsandsyoga7809
