Welcome to Traditional Shivam Yoga Dublin
Theoretical Introduction
Shivam Yoga System
Shivam Yoga is a philosophical and therapeutic system combining psychology and science. This traditional methodology respects the original source of Yoga knowledge which began between 7 and 10 thousands years in the Dravidian Civilization.
The Shivam Yoga is grounded on two philosophic bases called Sankhya and Tantra philosophies.
Shankhya explains about the existence of the life and Universe based on Universal laws, mainly Karma and Dharma laws.
Tantra is a behavioural philosophy. Tantra means toll (Tra) of development (Tan). Tantra is also understood as an energetic philosophy because explain about the energetic physiology of the body and life.
Sankhya and Tantra philosophies are a life expression of the Dravidian people.
This expression is not religious or devotional.
Yoga developed naturally out of this ancient civilization. The meaning of Yoga comes from an existential knowledge of behaviours in this life.
Yoga means union, integration of the person with the self, with Nature and the Universe into a relationship of respect, balance and harmony
In accordance with this understanding, which is practical and philosophical, the practitioners are involved in a system of self understanding and expansion of consciousness.
Anyone that practices Shivam Yoga seeks the improvement of conscious as a focus of daily living. This is found by observing oneself. We observe the way we express ourselves through our experiences so as to cultivate a renewed awareness of this world, Nature and the Universe.
Whereas the main goal of Shivam Yoguim is the full comprehension, understanding, awareness of the life the Universe called Samadhi.
There’s an affirmative understanding of the life. These philosophies say we have to be happy and fulfilled here and now. This sight of the existence does not deny this life to be happy later on any new existence.
The Dravidian’s Civilization was very developed in many aspects of life. They were a matriarchal and democratic society, pacifists, vegetarians and spiritualists.
They amassed a notable knowledge with regards to engineer, astronomy, medicine and others sciences.
The Dravidians were connected with the laws of Nature increasing mental and spiritual consciences and the energetic internal power of the body through Yoga techniques and a good relationship with the existence and life as a whole.
The Shivam Yoga techniques work by themselves. Naturally with the frequent practice of the “Yoguim”, Sadhaka, it promotes a better health on all levels of being: physical, energetic, emotional, mental and spiritual.
The Shivam Yoga System is a Traditional Yoga School. Its strength integrates the people, Sadhakas, around the practice, meaning and behaviour of the school.
With each practice, with each meeting and experience we keep ourselves more integrated with "Egregore", it is a concept representing a "thought form" or "group mind"; resulting in uncountable life benefits: resistance, discipline, harmony, integration, balance, energy, awareness, beauty, strength, flexibility, force, self control, self knowledge and other powers.
The orthodox Shivam Yoga practice works through several Angas (parts): Dharana (mental concentration), Pujas (energy transfer), Pranayamas (breathing exercises), Asanas (techniques of flexibility, balance, stretching, force and spine spinning), Yoganidra (relaxation), Dhiana (Meditation) and Mantras. In fact, it is as a traditional ritual where the Sadhakas realize and improve all levels of the body: physical, energetic, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies. The people ,Sadahakas, practice Shivam Yoga and get benefits on all these levels from the very first class.
The Shivam Yoga makes no distinction of age or level. It encourages all Sadhakas to make their own possible best and guides people with technique and knowledge to teach and ask what’s possible for each one, respecting the limits, but at the same time pushing limits too.
Beginners and advanced students are welcome on the same class as on all Shivam Yoga poses (Asanas) as there are different levels of difficulty: Ardha ( incomplete ), Sukha ( easy ), Raja ( complete ), and Maha ( more than complete ). Mixing the levels is very important to encourage beginners to go forward and surpass their own limits because Shivam Yoga’s goal is to improve health, quality of life, mind and consciousness about one’s self and your relationship with Nature and the Universe.
