Shivastambha Yoga | Difference Between 'Shivastambha' & 'Mallakhamb' HD

For the last few hundred years the sport of Mallakhamb has lived within various small villages scattered throughout India. However, the origins of this amazing practice have been misattributed, much like Patanjali is seen as the Father of Yoga, rather than the organizer. Thousands of years before Mallakhamb existed, it was known as Shivastambha. With just a slight change in name that leads to a powerful change in context and overall experience. So what do the names even mean? ‘Malla’ means ‘sportsmen’ or ‘wrestler,’ and ‘khamba’ means pole – it was popularized, by wrestlers using this as a training modality… but we all know that yoga goes much deeper than the human body & sport. ‘Shiva’ is the all-powerful, all-pervading consciousness, the Creator of the Cosmos Itself. ‘Stambha’ means ‘grounded.’ Thus, rather than being a sportsmen on a pole this practice is about establishing yourself in the state of Sadashiva: the pole Itself is not just a pole – it is the Sadashiva, and you are entangling with Him, becoming Him. Shivastambha yoga is the epitome of why it’s so important to have the right context when we perform our practice. The very intention we have when we move the body is what is stored within our bio-memory whether it’s practicing yoga on the mat, going for a walk or even lifting a cup of water to drink. When you move your body intensely, with the intention of connecting to and BECOMING Sadashiva… I tell you, there is NO better practice to develop both physical and spiritual powers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This channel is all about awakening you to your higher possibilities and supporting your growth in consciousness as you expand to the next dimension of existence.
