Is it possible to learn and practice Angamardhana at all age groups?

Can this exercise be done by people who are above the age of 65?

I recently did an Angamardhana course.. It is given here that the entire practice takes 25 minutes, whereas even in the videos shown and through actual practice it takes at least 45 mins.
What is the essential anganmardhana practice that takes only 25 mins?

Namaskaram,

I initially took about 50 mins time to complete my Angamardhana practise but in 6 months time (from april 2014 to oct 2014) , i am able to finish it in 25 mins and later it reduced even to 22 mins .. :) trust me it works for everyone .. it's beautiful just keep doing it everyday ..

Angamardana ..I attended this course and i would say it is really very good ...It is very structured process and it twist every part of your body...If you do with much more awareness your body will obey what you say....

Can anybody with bad knee do angamardhana? Are they eligible?

Is there a trained Hatha yoga teacher who can come home to teach these practices? My family are keen on learning and can commit to a regular time every day, but do not have spare time for commuting. This enquiry is for Bandra area, Mumbai.

Another informative read that has added up to my knowledge. Thank you.

I can understand why it is not taught online, but to have a
yoga guru coming to the Ashram, who also sells books on yoga asana’s and
videos, isn’t it a little cynical saying that it isn’t wise to do any form of
Yoga through the internet When Swami Ramdev ji does most of the points
mentioned in the comment section? Like doing Yoga from the internet?

My first Yoga class was with Swami Ramdev ji, when he came to Coventry and through him
I found my Sadhguru, I respect Swami Ramdev ji very much, I just find it weird when
many Isha teachers and meditators say it’s not wise to do so and so, when Swami
Ramdev Ji does this all and he has a
large group of followers.

I know the differences of course, Swami Ramdev ji teaches it
in exercise form!

But does that mean Swami Ramdev ji should not continue to
teach it Yogic Asana’s and Pranayama in exercise form? My guru is Sadhguru but I value Swami Ramdev ji's practises very much, especially Pranayama that he teaches, though I do not want to perform extreme Asana's because it is true that they can lead to injury.

damages can be very huge. Its not a universal thing, differs from person to person. there are certain asanas a very strong and fit person should not do even though they can. its more than physical. there are some small things in yoga that you can learn from books or online and also teach to others. but yogasana from book or video is like selling a book on "How to perform heart surgery with kitchen knife - for dummies". if you do improper yoga there is immediate side effects that you will defenitely realize either in immediate future or later. you might not even know if it was that one asana you tried to do sometime when you were a kid. I can totally understand your concern and am happy to see the humbleness in you, but we are just asking for trouble with book and video yoga.

Are there any programs which just teach this, as i am very interested in learning this. ?

Namaskaram,

Can anyone please compare hatha yoga and angamardana, in terms of both physical and energy benefits.

Instead of comparing, I would say you should probably do both because each is of a different nature. :)
I dont know much about energy benefits because that's kind of beyond my perception, but from the POV of physical health and fitness, angamardana is simply incredible. The kind of buzz that regular practice brings to your body is like nothing else.

So are you saying that Angamardhana's physical benefits are much more than surya namaskars and asanas

Namaskaram

Is there anyway we can learn Angamardana via internet, Sadhguru's video etc because I really want to learn it but I can't visit any ashram because I am not In India for another year, can anyone suggest anything please?

Thank you

No Its not possible , but in Chennai Isha Life Center every month angamarthan Class is conducted , you can Join there once you come to india.

oh! Practices in Isha are never taught over the internet because yoga is an ancient science. Making even the smallest mistake in a mudra can change the impact of the practice. Volunteers are constantly correcting the smallest detail about a participant's practice both during the program and afterwards during Sathsang. So for something as powerful as Angamardhana, it is definitely not to be learned over the internet. As powerful as the practice can be if it is done right, am sure it can be equally harmful if it is done wrong. and with internet, there is every chance you can get it wrong. So please wait until you can learn it in person. If you are in the US or UK, there are Hata Yoga teachers trained meticulously by Isha. Please write to Isha USA or UK and they will probably guide you to the nearest teacher.

Namaskaram.

Thank you both of you for replying.

Then I am in France and there is no center here. Then I will wait in that case, get back to India and then learn it like you all mentioned.

Thank you again
