Kaliji demonstrates Triyoga in city

Kaliji presented a fascinating talk and demonstration on Triyoga to an audience of yoga teachers and students.

Kaliji emphasised the importance of a satvic yoga practice including the calm, balanced flow of breath.

This sustained calm breath leads to pratyahara and dharana, that is concentration and meditation, she added.

Kaliji said that we need energy to sustain meditation and a person gains energy from the practice of asana, pranayama, and dharana and flows into the stillness.  One must be accountable for every movement, every breath. Thus, within the TriYoga practice, there is the potential to practice all eight limbs of astanga yoga at one time, Kaliji added.

An audience member asked how can she  (Kaliji) remain tireless even after the long practice that included so many challenging postures.

Kaliji explained that there is no asana without attention to diet.

For over 30 years Kaliji has practiced the vegan plant-based diet.
