AT THE fag end of the semester, when the threshold of the exams had just passed, the students of Symbiosis Institute of Media & Communication were exposed to a scintillating experience of yoga. Yoga expert Samita Rathor conducted this session, and enlightened about 240 students about the importance of the practice of personalized yoga and how it helps one to reregulate the inner self.

Rathor has been a student of yoga since 1992, under the supervision of T.K.V. Desikachar and his father T Krishnamacharya, who happens to be one of the greatest yogis of contemporary times from a 9th century Yoga lineage. Her primary focus is to educate people about different kinds of healing techniques from physical, mental and emotional trauma, through the implication of Individualised Yoga.

Students were projected to six hours of authentic informative session, where different kinds of yogic postures and breathing techniques were unveiled. These help one to accomplish sync between the body, mind and soul. But most importantly prominence was laid on formulation and connotation of individualized yoga.

Rathor chanted “Samatvam Yoga Uchyate,” which means equilibrium of the mind is yoga. She believes in the fact that every human being is composed of different components and hence each one of them is unique. Every individual have distinctive mental, physical and emotional stratum, thus to cure the various sections of the body and mind, a very explicit and detailed form of yoga, catering to the essential needs of a person is to be appropriately designed. This is the time when the need for a personalized instruction is required for attaining best and incorrigible form of yoga training. In fact, this is the customary yoga philosophy and faith of Sri Krishnamacharya and his son Sri Desikachar.

Yoga helps one to enhance one’s intuitive powers. A personal yoga practice is a very private experiential course of action, which leads to the inspiration of higher senses. It helps to build up awareness on emotional level; whereon it leads to obliteration of negativity. Moreover, yoga essentially helps one to focus more, get distressed, it slows down the pace of aging and lastly it helps one to totally get detached from one’s own body and get connected to the universal energies. After certain age yoga needs to be individualized, hence all these results cannot be accomplished in group practice.

Rathor portrayed different forms of asanas, which eventually is a course of journey from noise to silence, self-adherence and composition. She imparted the knowledge imbibed with rationality and logic.
