Ayurveda Ayuryoga

12/01/2026

Sri Krishnamacharya never taught yoga as a fixed method. For him, yoga was a way of moving toward svastha—a state of holistic well-being. In Ayurveda, health is not defined simply as the absence of disease, but as a sense of balance in the body, breath, senses, and mind.

Seen this way, yoga has to be practiced holistically and individually. It brings together movement, breathing, attention, and self-awareness, and it is not about performing postures or copying a teacher. Within the framework of svastha, the aim of yogic practice is self-regulation: learning to sense what is happening internally, to adapt practice intelligently, and to take responsibility for one’s own health.

When the focus shifts from external form to internal regulation and awareness, yoga becomes a practical support for lifelong well-being rather than a routine to be imitated.

Apaiser le corps et apaiser le mental pour se libérer de leurs activités pertubatrices = liberté

We are always identified with our mind and its thoughts. In order to be alone, we may try to leave the things that disturb us. We may do this either temporarily, if we go on a holiday or permanently through renunciation, leaving behind the world and the people in it, to the extent humanly possible.

But where can we leave our mind? It follows us and stays with us always, whether we want it to or not.

Yoga is a means to come to terms with our own mind. In the beginning we have to find the means to remain balanced irrespective of pleasure or pain. Ultimately, we want to remain unaffected by all the happenings of our mind.

This is what Patañjali means by freedom. It is freedom from the mind and all its disturbances.

Yoga et méditation ? yoga est méditation


Un extrait en français de l'article partagé, rédigé par David Frawley : "Il est crucial que des traditions méditatives telles que le yoga et le bouddhisme s'unissent face aux besoins de l'ère de la mondialisation [...] Leurs valeurs communes de protection de la Terre, de non-violence, de reconnaissance de la loi du karma [action] et de pratique de la méditation sont essentielles pour nous sortir de la crise mondiale actuelle.

Cependant, dans ce rapprochement, la diversité des enseignements doit être préservée, ce qui implique non seulement de reconnaître leur unité, mais aussi de respecter leurs différences. Il en va de même pour les différentes cultures."

Hindu Yoga and Buddhism are sister traditions which evolved in the same dharmic culture of ancient India. The Dalai Lama calls them “twin brothers”. They use many of the same terms and follow many of…

Barbie ou Bharat ?
Réflexion du Dr Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani

Dissocier le yoga de son contexte culturel le prive de ses racines
Associer le yoga à ses origines, c'est lui donner le pouvoir de donner du sens, là où nous en sommes, tels que nous sommes.


To separate yoga from its cultural context deprives it of its roots.
To connect yoga to its origins is to give it the power to provide meaning, right where we are, as we are.

There is a lot of stuff coming up these days on social media about Yoga and being secular and so I thought I would add my two cents to it.

La voie du yoga
Intention, action, attention... et non-attachement
Stabilité, clarté et liberté

In the Bhagavad Gita, particularly in Chapter 2, Verse 47, Krishna tells Arjuna that one has control only over one’s actions, not over their outcomes.

While this seems paradoxical, since most human actions are motivated by desired outcomes, the discipline of Kriya Yoga offers a practical framework. It begins with examining one’s intentions before action, asking whether they stem from desire, ego, fear, or attachment. By reducing these drives, some actions naturally drop away, while others transform in quality.

This aligns with the threefold practice of tapas (discipline over the body and senses), swadhyaya (self-study and refinement of thought and speech), and Ishvara pranidhana (surrender of deep intentions to the divine).

Together, these practices address the body, speech, and mind, gradually diminishing the grip of desire and aversion. Over time, by setting clear intentions, performing actions with awareness, and letting go of fixation on results, the restless tendencies of the mind diminish, creating space for steadiness, clarity, and inner freedom.

Mouvement adapté

In yoga, precise alignment isn’t the ultimate goal—adaptability, safety, and functional movement are.

While aesthetics matter in dance or performance, for everyday health and yoga practice, “approximate alignment” is enough, especially under load.

This is where the concept of a neutral spine comes in: a posture that’s neither over-arched nor flattened, allowing safe force transmission through the joints and protecting the lower back. In asanas, maintaining a neutral spine—engaging core and lifting hips slightly above the knees when seated—supports joint safety, prevents strain, and lets you move fluidly while practicing poses like forward bends, chair pose, or plank.
