Don’t practice Yoga to get better at Yoga. Practice Yoga to get better at Life.

Women have been gaslit into denying our personal power – out inner Fire suppressed, repressed, oppressed, depressed. Fire is fuel. energy, power. It doesn’t disappear, it transforms. Fire is probably raging, silently hidden in you waiting to transform. Some women burn rage with a metabolism that runs on pure spite to succeed in doing what she has always been told she can’t. Until she burns out. Some women swallow and eat the rage. Until they cant bear the weight anymore. She breaks.

What if that sacred silence of all our secret power is a portal? The collective Womben wound is breaking open, it’s burning as enlightened rEvoloution. That Light is showing up in the world, shining through as our voices. That still small voice within, that tiny spark of spiritual Light, is ready to remember. What was in the beginning, Sound & Light are still, now, empowered inseparably in this thing called Life.

Niradhara Amma is here to prompt you into remembering… your self-agency, your worthiness, your value, your superpowers, your talents, the gifts that were meant to make your mark on this world. What if the wound is the window where you serve up your brightest ideas, dreams, your purpose? This Initiation is the Portal.

SwAr Ashram is offering a Sacred Initiation into authentic Vedic Nature-based empowerment for Women who are navigating how trauma & healing shows up in your Menstrual Cycle. If you are experiencing irregular, unpredicatble periods, PMS / PMDD, PCOS, infertility, Endometriosis / Adenometriosis, Peri-menopause & Menopause, or anything related, no matter what your age – enter this Initiation! If you have a daughter entering Menarche, this Initiation will empower her whole life.

The Womb is a natural Portal. Many traumas begin in our feminine organs, but all of them can end in this transformative space.

This Initiation is woven around a contemporary codex, the Laal Sutra. You’ve heard of the Yoga Sutra of Sri Patanjali and the Lotus Sutra of Gautama Buddha… now we have Laal Sutra. An ancient text which should have been written thousands of years ago. Laal Sutra (Red Thread) stitches ancient texts to a contemporary voice. India is rapidly developing. The voices of our Grandmothers are already fading. This is not a book to change the culture. Neither is it a book meant to adhere to logic that made sense 1000 or more years ago. Tradition is meant to be living. It is meant to keep up with the times. The environment we live in, the context of the writing, matters. The foundation of Universal science that original Veda-s were founded on, matter.  

Laal Sutra is a book that weaves ancient texts with contemporary times

This is a book, not only to revive and restore Women’s Womb Rituals of Maasik Chakra Dharma, but to evolve it – to rEvolutionize it.

Penned by Amma Niradhara, a woman who has lived in the heart of rural India for almost 20 years. She was instructed in 2007 by her YajnAcharya (Fire Guru) to teach his foreign women visitors about Brahmanic Protocols for practicing Agnihotra in the Menstruating years of their life.

She set out to teach the science behind this ancient wisdom in StRiimaya Yoga Chikitsa Tantra, theraputic methods for challenges that women face today and Maasik Chakra Shashaktikaran Yoga Camps for the young teen emerging menstuators.

The Laal Sutra, evolved from Yoga of Moons and its Community Edit, it decolonizes and revives Menstrual Teachings that were misinterpreted by Patriarchal obfuscations for centuries. Shocked by local village women integrating plastics into ancient Vedic Menstrual protocols, Niradhara began studying the Ayurvedic texts for answers while working with the locals for Indian perspective. The Community Edit Yoga of Moons was created to give freely for those underserved and under-educated women & girls in rural areas while attending her Yoga Camps. The process of editing led to an indexed and ordered list which is the short Sutra style of Laal Sutra

Ayurvedic texts have been rewritten over the millennia by various Acharya’s for their times. There has not been a written update to the times since Acharya Sushruta, approx in the 7th Century CE. Sacred writings are notoriously attributed to being authored by men. Laal Sutra is authored by a woman for women and in the spirit of women worldwide. Because we know best what we embody. And it’s about time we own our own bodies ourselves.

Laal Sutra Initiation is for Women called to lead & teach our relationship with the Moon through 2 perspectives Seasonal Rituals and Cosmic Cycles, the Tantrik & Endocrine Chakra-s, Tattva-s (Elements), Vayu-s (flows of energy) hormonal bio-hacks, somatics, gender fluidity, human rights & rEvolution.

This Initiation is for:

• Spiritual seekers who wish to embody their divine feminine.
• Wellness practitioners and enthusiasts who know there is something more than what they are being taught or offered.
• Explorers on a journey to discover the maps and experience the hidden territories of body-mind-spirit connection.
• Women wandering in the door looking for help.
• Anyone willing to look at themselves in the mirror and from a cellular memory, remember who they are. 
• You are more powerful than you know.
• Yoga Teachers completing Yoga of Moons YACEP 30 credits will be eligible for the full immersion of 300 hours YTTC.

The reason Genders practiced Yoga separately back in the ‘old days’ is because there was a time when the ancient wisdom was commonly known that Male & Female have vastly opposing biological forms & functions. This is not disciplinary nor misogynistic. The Solar-based Cycles apply to all Genders but those with a Maasik or Monthly Cycle need sometihng more. The premise was to empower & protect the Lunar-based Cycles embodied in Female Avatara-s. How could we have forgotten this?

As most of us grew up being told and believing that ‘girls can do anything boys can do’, we have forgotten that it is not in our best interest to do everything every day. In my 50 years in Yoga, i have not forgotten this, but i have had to keep my eyes & ears keenly open to glean much in recent decades. In fact it was 22 years ago that i turned to the Ayurvedic Samhita-s to finally get the answers to nagging inconsistencies and confusing habits that i encountered when learning the Period Protocols for practicing Yajnya.

It would be fair to say that i have had a uniquely informed journey that intersects Yoga & Yajnya from the Female embodied experience spanning 6 decades, qualifying me to convey these teachings to the highest level of insight and experience.

– Acharya Niradhara

As Womben, we very often oppose our biological functions to fit into today’s work paradigm and we more often do too much to balance both work and home life. But this alone is not the cause of hormonal imbalances, fatigue and mood swings.

The simple fact is that we have a Circadian Rhythm and Male bodies function dominantly on that Solar based cycle. While those embodied with Female anatomy funtion predominantly on a Lunar based cycle, our Moon Cycles (Sanskrit : Maasik Chakra). This Lunar bio-rhythm is entirely more complex than the daily one and its disregulation affects our Menstrual Cycles as well as impacts us systemically.

Vedic Sciences mapped the subtle energies in our bodies that regulate these bio-patterns thousands of years ago. Indic Traditonal Women followed the Maasik Dharm (monthly protocols) for healthy Maasik Chakra (Moon Cycles) religiously for millenia. The excessively high population for a country the size of India is proof of how well this has worked.

This was all well until recent developments such as British Invasion which resulted in patriarchal shifts (exacerbated by the introduction of the printing press) and at the same time the introduction of electricity which trickled into homes. All this converged only approximately 70 years ago.

On the heels of India’s Independence, Guru’s and Swami’s (Men) many of whom were followers of a Gandhian philosophy, began setting their sights on exporting Yogic culture to the West. These Gents were fully unprepared for the onslaught of Women interested in their teachings.

As Yoga flourished in the West, the developing paradigm in India for Women to rise-up converged with a trend to copy Western Women, who are now the majority of Yoga Teachers across the globe.

The only problem is that the Yoga for Moon Cycles was not recorded in the books written and printed by Men. Only a few clues remain in Ayurveda, but these protocols have mixed success in the modern world because they have been blindly passed down behind closed doors, while hidden in the shame of the colonization and so the Science behind Vedas are forgotten or misunderstood. It has become popular to j discredit the old ways of living with Nature altogether, in favor of ‘developing’.

During the last 7 years since Yoga Day was initiated in 2015, young Women have been encouraged to join the ranks of Yoga Teacher initiatives in India (which has for previous millenia been under the (Male) Gurukula system, not certified but earned by 20 years residential study at the feet of a Guru who chose only a few worthy to teach the Yoga-s. It is this form of group teaching that was taught in the (Male) military and which was exported to the West and also was chosen as the protocols for Yoga Day.

Certainly there have been recognitions of a need for Yoga for Female Biologies in recent years. We notice a few modifications or advise to not do inversions during the bleeding days. This is a nice start but hardly scratches the surface.

What you get with StRiimaya Yog Chikitsa Tantr is a fully codified and articulated method for Yoga based on Ayurveda & Sukshma Sharir (Subtle Energy Body), structured around Kundalini which is the Divine Feminine Power behind the major Chakra-s, the foundation of our endocrine (hormonal) systems, included as a part of the much larger teachings of how the entire Subtle Body creates our physical form.

for Yoga Teachers whose students MENSTRUATE

Do you know how to put together a Yoga Class to better care for your Yoga Students who Menstruate? Do you thoroughly understand the Sukshma Sharir (subtle energy bodies) as well as the Female Avatara-s biology and anatomy?

Did you know that there are Asanas, Pranayama, Mudra, Bandha, Kriya-s and even Meditations that put your students at risk during Menstruation and Ovulation? The complaints of headaches, cramping, back pains, from common PMS to missed periods, late and irregular Cycles, excessive bleeding, spotty Periods, to missing ovulation (once or chronically) PCOS, PCOD, endometritiosis and even infertility are seriously on the rise as 33 million women in the USA alone are practicing Yoga that is very often not been trained properly for Menstruators.

Did you know that modifications are not merely subtractive? There have been numerous studies in recent years in India that Yoga that is beneficial to Menstrual Cycles. That PMS is not normal and your students can be free from its pains, aches and mood swings as well as many other common irregular Menstrual complaints.

Did you know that India has been practicing Protocols for Menstruation for millenia and is the highest population per capita in the world by far? Yoga & Ayurveda have got some massive Womb Wisdom which the colonizers of Yoga have completely overlooked.

Acharya Niradhara has been practicing Yoga for 50 years. She remembers when it was common protocol for girls & boys to learn and practice Yoga separately – and why. She has spent the last 16 years in rural India giving back to India what the Motherland of Yoga has given to her. She has been perfecting this lost Yogic Art which she has branded StRiimaya Yoga, the training manual Yoga of Moons and The Book of Moons for anyone with a Period from Menarche to Menopause. Her journey to teach from this perspective began with the melding of Yoga & Yajnya in her life in late 2002 when she began practicing and researching the Brahmanic Protocols for Menstruation followed by India.

Yoga for Menstruators is becoming a lost Art among the ways to practice the Sciences of Yoga. We may or may not wish to procreate, but if we have a Menstrual Cycle, it is still imperative to our good health that we abide by its biological cues. The systemic health is indicated by disturbances in the Menstrual Cycle, and disturbances in the Menstrual Cycle affect the body holistically.

This Lunar bio-rhythm is entirely more complex than the daily one and its disregulation affects our Menstrual Cycles as well as impacts us systemically.

Vedic Sciences mapped the subtle energies in our bodies that regulate these bio-patterns thousands of years ago. Indic Traditonal Women followed the Maasik Dharm (monthly protocols) for healthy Maasik Chakra (Moon Cycles) religiously for millenia. The excessively high population for a country the size of India is proof of how well this has worked.

This was all well until recent developments such as British Invasion which resulted in patriarchal shifts (exacerbated by the introduction of the printing press) and at the same time the introduction of electricity which trickled into homes. All this converged only approximately 70 years ago.

On the heels of India’s Independence, Guru’s and Swami’s (Men) many of whom were followers of a Gandhian philosophy, began setting their sights on exporting Yogic culture to the West. These Gents were fully unprepared for the onslaught of Women interested in their teachings.

As Yoga flourished in the West, the developing paradigm in India for Women to rise-up converged with a trend to copy Western Women, who are now the majority of Yoga Teachers across the globe.

The only problem is that the Yoga for Moon Cycles was not recorded in the books written and printed by Men. Only a few clues remain in Ayurveda, but these protocols have mixed success in the modern world because they have been blindly passed down behind closed doors, while hidden in the shame of the colonization and so the Science behind Vedas are forgotten or misunderstood. It has become popular to j discredit the old ways of living with Nature altogether, in favor of ‘developing’.

During the last 7 years since Yoga Day was initiated in 2015, young Women have been encouraged to join the ranks of Yoga Teacher initiatives in India (which has for previous millenia been under the (Male) Gurukula system, not certified but earned by 20 years residential study at the feet of a Guru who chose only a few worthy to teach the Yoga-s. It is this form of group teaching that was taught in the (Male) military and which was exported to the West and also was chosen as the protocols for Yoga Day.

Certainly there have been recognitions of a need for Yoga for Female Biologies in recent years. We notice a few modifications or advise to not do inversions during the bleeding days. This is a nice start but hardly scratches the surface.

What you get with StRiimaya Yog Chikitsa Tantr is a fully codified and articulated method for Yoga based on Ayurveda & Sukshma Sharir (Subtle Energy Body), structured around Kundalini which is the Divine Feminine Power behind the major Chakra-s, the foundation of our endocrine (hormonal) systems, included as a part of the much larger teachings of how the entire Subtle Body creates our physical form.

for Yoga Teachers whose students MENSTRUATE

Do you know how to put together a Yoga Class to better care for your Yoga Students who Menstruate? Do you thoroughly understand the Sukshma Sharir (subtle energy bodies) as well as the Female Avatara-s biology and anatomy?

Did you know that there are Asanas, Pranayama, Mudra, Bandha, Kriya-s and even Meditations that put your students at risk during Menstruation and Ovulation? The complaints of headaches, cramping, back pains, from common PMS to missed periods, late and irregular Cycles, excessive bleeding, spotty Periods, to missing ovulation (once or chronically) PCOS, PCOD, endometritiosis and even infertility are seriously on the rise as 33 million women in the USA alone are practicing Yoga that is very often not been trained properly for Menstruators.

Did you know that modifications are not merely subtractive? There have been numerous studies in recent years in India that Yoga that is beneficial to Menstrual Cycles. That PMS is not normal and your students can be free from its pains, aches and mood swings as well as many other common irregular Menstrual complaints.

Did you know that India has been practicing Protocols for Menstruation for millenia and is the highest population per capita in the world by far? Yoga & Ayurveda have got some massive Womb Wisdom which the colonizers of Yoga have completely overlooked.

Acharya Niradhara has been practicing Yoga for 50 years. She remembers when it was common protocol for girls & boys to learn and practice Yoga separately – and why. She has spent the last 16 years in rural India giving back to India what the Motherland of Yoga has given to her. She has been perfecting this lost Yogic Art which she has branded StRiimaya Yoga, the training manual Yoga of Moons and The Book of Moons for anyone with a Period from Menarche to Menopause. Her journey to teach from this perspective began with the melding of Yoga & Yajnya in her life in late 2002 when she began practicing and researching the Brahmanic Protocols for Menstruation followed by India.

Yoga for Menstruators is becoming a lost Art among the ways to practice the Sciences of Yoga. We may or may not wish to procreate, but if we have a Menstrual Cycle, it is still imperative to our good health that we abide by its biological cues. The systemic health is indicated by disturbances in the Menstrual Cycle, and disturbances in the Menstrual Cycle affect the body holistically.
