Granthi Sadhana – theory and practice – Karin Svitakova

During this workshop, I will give some theoretical background to the Granthi Sadhana. Then a practical part will follow. The Granthi Sadhana is a simple but deep method to calm the mind step by step and to open the knots called granthi that are part of every person´s system. The knots prevent the consciousness from reaching higher states and the individual from reaching their full potential. Due to the fact that this approach uses a combination of special mantras, intense breathing and reflection, it is suitable even for beginners or people with a restless mind. This method may help practitioners to understand their role in the world and act according to their dharma.

Karin Svitakova met yoga at an age of 13 through her father Geza Timcak and since then, she has practised mainly under his guidance. Once her 3 children had grown up, she started attending the yoga teacher training with the Slovak Association of Yoga. She attended numerous weekend workshops by Dr. Mukund Bhole and weekly summer retreats in Hungary, Slovakia and Czechia. She travels regularly to India. Usually she stays at the Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama in Rishikesh where she got initiated into mantra meditation. She teaches yoga in her leisure time.
