History of Yoga

The exact date of Yoga’s origin is difficult to determine since initially it was taught and passed on from Guru (Teacher) to Sishya (Diciple) by memorization, prosodic recitation, and discussion and also because of its early representations on fragile natural material like talapatras (palm leaf) manuscripts which couldn’t survive the ravages of time. Research traced it back to 5000 years ago, but some believe it existed even 10,000 years ago. The evolution of yoga is divided into five eras for better understanding.

Pre-Vedic India - Indus Vally civilisation (3300–1900 BCE)

The first evidence of yogic activities was found in ruins of the ancient city of Harappa, circa 3000-1900 BCE, in what is now Eastern Pakistan. The Pashupati seal discovered in an Indus Valley Civilization site depicts a figure in a position resembling an asana used for meditation, Mulabandhasana.

Vedic Period (1500–500 BCE)

Yoga was first mentioned in Rigveda (1500 -1200 BCE) later referred in upanishads (900 - 700 BCE), Brahma Sutras (450 BCE to 200 CE)

Pre-classical Era (500 - 200 BCE)

Systematic Yoga concepts begin to emerge in the texts of c. 500–200 BCE such as the Early Buddhist texts, the middle Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita and Shanti Parva of the Mahabharata.

Classical Era (200 BCE - 500 CE)

During the period between the Mauryan and the Gupta eras the Indic traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism were taking form and coherent systems of yoga began to emerge. This period witnessed many new texts from these traditions discussing and systematically compiling yoga methods and practices. Some key works of this era include the Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali, the Yoga-Yājñavalkya, the Yogācārabhūmi-Śāstra and the Visuddhimagga.

Middle Ages (Hatha Yoga era) 500 -1500 CE

The earliest references to hatha yoga are in Buddhist works dating from the eighth century. Tantra is a range of esoteric traditions that began to arise in India no later than the 5th century CE.

Modern Era

N. C. Paul published his Treatise on Yoga Philosophy in 1851. Swami Vivekananda in the year 1890 was the first Hindu teacher to actively advocate and disseminate aspects of yoga, not including asanas, to a western audience. Yoga as exercise was created in what has been called the Modern Yoga Renaissance by the blending of Western styles of gymnastics with postures from Haṭha yoga in India in the 20th century, pioneered by Shri Yogendra and Swami Kuvalayananda, T. Krishnamacharya and his son T. K. V. Desikachar and his students Pattabhi Jois (Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga), B. K. S. Iyengar (Iyengar Yoga) and Swami Siwananda of Rishikesh.

Hallmark of Adhiroha

Everyday Yagna Ceremony

Yagna or Havan is more accurately a "votive ritual”. The fire is the agent, and the offerings include those that are material and symbolic such as grains, ghee, milk, incense and seeds. It is rooted in the Vedic culture and was adopted in ancient times and practiced across India to Central Asia.
Adhiroha is built on a land where exists ancient Ram Mandir (temple) and adding to it we maintain and perform Nitya Agnihotra or Nitya Yajna/Homa (votive ritual, Maintenance of a perpetual or sacred fire), an everyday fire ceremony consisting oblations to consecrated fire owing to which, as you step inside the gates of Adhiroha you will immediately experience a sense of peace enveloping you and feel strong positive vibration and spiritual ambiance.

Natural Mountain Spring Water Body (Kund)

Adhiroha is blessed with a flowing natural mountain spring water brook which cascades down the rocks into a 60 feet long water body/ Kund and rushing out joining the other end of the brook all inside our idyllic premises. This mountain spring water comes from the top of the hills flowing through the hills mineral rich soil and beautiful flora and fauna which gives the water its rich mineral quality and benefits. During your stay at Adhiroha, living in close proximity to the natural water body/Kund, one encounters a blissful meditative experience. The sound of the flowing water compliments the symphony of nature. Listening to the sound of the water and allowing it to pass over you puts you in the moment. Water metaphors Emotional and Physical wellness. Living near a water body leads to improved sense of physical/Mental health and induces a flood of neuro chemicals that promote wellness, increase blood flow to brain and heart leading to meditative state that makes us happier, healthier, calmer, relaxed and creative. It is said that more than 70% of earth is covered in water and 70% of human body is made up of water due to which a deep biological connection triggers immediate response in our brains when we are near water.

Key Features of Adhiroha TTC

Learn Alignment & Adjustments

Alignment means arrangement in a straight line or in correct relative positions.Alignment in yoga asanas describe the precise way to do any given pose in order to maximise its benefits and minimise the risk of injury by moving the body parts in tandem with each other. Where as adjustment is the way to correct a practitioners posture. While doing Yoga asanas having good alignment keeps the joints in their proper position and produce optimal muscle performance and in addition, it helps prevent the spine, joints, and muscles from getting into awkward angles and positions. That’s the reason why in a yoga class one often hear the words “lengthen your spine” or “tuck your tail bone in”. No two persons would achieve the same asanas in the exact same way, the trainees will understand how far they can go with the movement of their joints while performing asanas which will also help in join stabilisation.

Yoga Ethics

Yamas and Niyamas : ethical principles to guide us about how we relate to other people and how we take care of ourselves. These are restraints for Proper Conduct as given in the Veda. Yamas are the social restrains and the Niyamas are the self discipline precepts. They are a form of moral imperatives, commandments, rules or goals. Together, Yamas and Niyamas are personal obligations to live well. The Five Yamas as per Yoga sutras are Ahimsa (non-violence) Satya (Truthfulness), Astheya (non-coveting) Aparigraha (not-avarice or non-possessiveness) Brahmacharya (Chastity, marital fidelity, celibacy) The Five Niyamas as per Patanjali Yogasutras Saucha (purity, clearness of mind, speech and body) Santosha (contentment, acceptance of others and of one's circumstances as they are, optimism for self) Tapas (austerity, self-discipline, persistent meditation, perseverance) Svādhyāya (study of self, self-reflection, introspection of self's thoughts, speeches and actions) Ishvarapraṇidhāna (contemplation of the Ishvara, attunement to the supreme consciousness) Egalitarian view and approach : Yoga is a way of life which is based on and advocates an egalitarian approach and secular spirituality. Yoga doesn’t discriminate any one based on colour, cast, creed, orientation, sex, religion, faith.

Yoga Risk Management

Very few yoga training programs go beyond reviewing the traditional precautions for asanas in safety instruction. Teacher, therapists and studio owners enter their communities without adequate safety systems in place which leave their students, themselves and their teachers vulnerable to accidents and avoidable harming” are the words of wisdom by Dr. Matthew J. Taylor. We at Adhiroha believe in safe and secure environment to teach, learn, practice yoga. We not only include safety measures in our day to day life and work but also educate our students about the importance of it so that they can take these learnings with them and incorporate them in their own practice and business. Our teachers training course also educate our trainees about the importance of liability insurance for yoga teachers and businesses which are designed especially for yoga professionals.
