Yoga defines the great Indian soft power

Yoga defines the great Indian soft power

Yoga, my experiences and my journey to myself, by Chanti Hom Yoga Germany

My yoga journey began at the age of 8 years, I was still a child and felt very closely connected to the yogic culture. Although at that time I could never have imagined the long journey to the roots of yoga, to India, seemed impossible. I practiced mindfulness, meditation and spirituality at an early age.

Later, in my early thirties, I began to deal with the subject more intensively.

I deepened my yoga practice and integrated the eight-part path of Pantanjali into my life. At that time I still had a normal job. Went out of the house at 7 in the morning and came home late in the evening.

The intensive yoga practice took its toll on my daily life. I noticed more and more how I felt less and less in my being there, how I was living it at that time.

I couldn't get away from the material, the superficiality and the fast pace of life. Despite my successful life, I was unhappy and did not want to go on like this. So I decided to change something. Out of the comfort zone and into the adventure.

I gave myself completely to yoga.

For my environment this was rather unusual, I come from Germany and of course, as it is in every country of the world, we also live our own culture here. Yoga seems to be rather foreign. But since I travel a lot, I try to bring something home from every part of the world to integrate it here.

I feel a special connection with India. I would say India is my home. There is no comparable country in the world where I feel so at home as there.

In spring 2018 I completed my training as a Yoga Master Teacher and opened my own yoga studio shortly after. Further training followed, of course with the main focus on Yoga, Meditation, Pranayama and Yoga Philosophy.

From this point on, I teach the different forms of Yoga integrated in the eight-limbed path and the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, but also Bakti-,Jnana-,Raja-, Kundalini- and Karma Yoga.

In times of COVID19 it is also not always easy for me to practice my profession or more my vocation. Therefore I decided to pass on my knowledge in a free live stream over Twitch.tv/chantihom to my students and to continue my work. This way I can reach people who have never had anything to do with yoga before.

Yoga also gives hope. Those who regularly practice Yoga in any form not only gain mental and physical strength, but also learn to find their way in situations that sometimes put life to a hard test. A positive spirit contributes to inner balance and simply makes life easier.

The mindfulness to accept things, to draw the good and positive out of every situation creates an added value in life.

Yoga is suitable for every culture, because in the end, the human being, one's own personality and the true self is the most important thing.

 In my many years of practice and teaching, I have been able to experience so many beautiful things, as the participants feel good and liberated after the yoga class. This is the greatest gift and feedback I can get as a yoga teacher.

I simply love to motivate and inspire people. With yoga we can move so much, we can achieve so much good when we carry the philosophy of yoga out. Especially in our time, humanity can only benefit from it. Yoga is everything that does us good, what we need and love, Yoga connects, Yoga gives hope.

So go out, feel the energies and do Yoga.
