History Divya Yoga Mandir (Trust), Patanjali Yogpeeth
The Kripalu Bagh Ashram on the blessed land next to the holy Ganges, was built in 1932 by the scholarly erudite and God realized Param Pujya Swami Kripalu Dev Ji Maharaj.
Concomitant with this noble struggle, Swami Kripalu Dev Ji along with another great spiritualist Swami
Shraddhanand, who was the founder of the pure and chaste Hindus traditions of the “GURUKUL KANGRI”, organized a movement of rejuvenation of pristine Indian ancient traditions and renaissance of its glorious and hoary past whereby the country, its religion and all related aspects, covered by the gathering dust of centuries neglect, were rediscovered and extolled. It was the place where the great patriots like Sh. Rash Bihari Bose had taken shelter during their operations for freedom movements.
Saint Shri Kripalu Dev Ji Maharaj was succeeded by his illustrious disciple Pujya Swami Shri Shankar Dev Ji Maharaj, well conversant with Vedic knowledge and an ardent advocate of noble human values. Swami ji founded the Trust in 1995 along with his group of disciples; yet another Philanthropist Pujya Swami Ram Dev Ji Maharaj who has dedicated his presence to augment the haloed traditions of the trust based on selfless service and dedicated quest for excellence in education, vedic learning and promotion of nationalism; he is joined by an energetic soul with an intense spirit of service, Acharya Balkrishna Ji Maharaj, also a great spiritualist & great scholar of Ayurveda and an established name in Vedic philosophy Swami Muktanand ji Maharaj Science Graduate, Vyakaranacharya along with other disciples continue to exalt the traditions and enrich the future with what the trust had enshrined and achieved in its glorious preceding years.

Clearing Bowels Before Pranayama | Free Online Yoga Guide
Q) I am unable to clear my bowels before starting pranayama in the morning. It seems there is a problem regarding digestion. What I have to do? Can I practice Pranayama even my bowels are not cleared? Please advise me.
Answer
1. It depends on the constipation. If you are able to clear your bowels once in 24 hours, it is considered normal. It is preferable to clear your bowels in the morning before yoga asanas/ pranayama. If it is not possible, you can carry on with pranayama.
2. Preferably with regular practice your digestion and constipation will improve.
3. You can take 2-3 Tripahala tablets with warm water or milk before sleeping. Eat 2-3 pieces of 'BEL Murabba' on empty stomach once after doing yoga in the morning and once in the evening. I hope this will help to get cure from constipation.

Living Proof of Benefits Of Yoga | Free Online Yoga Guide

I had dabbled with yoga many moons before but it just didn't have the same impact on me. The teacher had a lot to do with it and the old saying that 'when the student is ready, the teacher will appear' really rang true here.
I had decided that since I was in my forties, with a three-year-old son to run after, and newly acquired back problems that I needed to do something. I knew that the stretching would help my back and the breathing would help my stress. I also knew that yoga could help with the spiritual questions that inevitably become stronger in midlife. However, I was worried about finding the right class. Then, in a moment of synchronicity, my friend mentioned to me a beginners hatha yoga class that she attended whenever she could. I went along with her and was immediately hooked!
As I mentioned before, the teacher had a lot to do with getting my interest. She is an inspirational woman in her seventies who simply oozes with compassion and serenity. I could not believe and still cannot, that she could possibly be in her seventies, as she looks ten years younger than that. Her mother is still alive and is ninety-nine! She told me that she only started yoga when she was forty-three and when I asked if her body had ever been as inflexible as mine, she said it had been worse! That statement certainly gave me hope, since there I was beginning yoga at the age of forty-four.
Believe it or not, I had such bad sciatica that I did my first few classes on a chair. Students thirty years older than me were not in that position and there was even an eighty one year old man in the class. But I didn't feel embarrassed; such was the atmosphere there. The teacher showed me some remedial yoga exercises that would help with my pain. We also learned some breathing and meditative techniques to help with any anxiety arising from that pain.
Now two years later, much of my back pain has simply gone. It twinges every now and then but nothing like the excruciating regular bouts I had before, when I couldn't even put my foot to the ground without crying.
I have also lost around 14 lbs weight just practicing a little yoga every other day and incorporating poses into everyday life. I find that because yoga also works on the internal organs and the teacher explains about the anatomy and physiology of the body and how the Asanas (postures/poses) work that I am less inclined to binge on junk foods. I still do that now and again but it tends to be on healthier foods. Where I would have scoffed whole packets of biscuits before, I now might have a tray of flavoured frozen ice cubes! A lot less calories and hydration into the bargain. The yoga poses have made me think more about the work my body has to do internally to digest the types of food that I consume.
I know that I am different since I became a newbie Yogini. My husband is impressed with my sticking at something at last. My mother says I don't lose my patience as easily and my low moods have improved and my five year old son is thrilled that I can actually bend down to him again.

Thumb Rule for Eating | Yoga Question And Answer
Eat every bite of food chewing and mixing with saliva deliberately for more time. Importantly stop eating when when you get your first blurp. That avoids over eating and even the tastiest of any food cannot be consumed more if you eat like this. Eat again when you feel hungry. Eventually you will follow a pattern. Don't drink water 30 minutes before and after eating. Else you risk dilution of digestive juices in stomach.
This technique is very simple. You will start seeing improvements in 48 to 72 hours.

Pregnancy and Kapalabhati Pranayama | Yoga Question And Answer
Q) We are trying to have a baby. If a lady has ovulated 3-4 days back and not sure about the pregnancy. My question is, is it safe to do kapalabhati pranayama at this stage?
A) You have not mentioned whether you are already doing yoga or thinking of starting yoga.
Your first aim should be to achieve physical fitness by doing yoga asanas and then do pranayama. Doing more of pranayama without clearing the energy channels with yoga asanas can be harmful. There is no harm in doing kapalabhati if you are in regular practice and already doing it.
If you have not done yoga before, I will say you focus more on rhythmic deep breathing and alom vilom pranayama.
Your yoga practice must aim to exercise the muscles of abdomen, spine, back and pelvic area as a preparation for pregnancy. Gradually build up a sound yoga practice which includes asanas and pranayama. Then you can do kapalabhati as much as you feel comfortable. But do not depend on kapalabhati alone.
