Weird energy shift after yoga
 

I recently attended a yoga day at a local studio, and after the first session during the relaxation part I felt a physical shift of energy inside my body twice, it felt like a big thud and as if my body was putting itself back in the right place, and then that evening I stirred a little from my sleep and had a kind of vision/feeling of dark black energy leaving my body, has anybody had a similar experience? Or know what this could have been?

Thanks

Sounds positive. Has your character shifted in anyway also? Many Thanks

It sounds like your body went through an energy balancing or clearing. Not a lot has been said about it in regards to yoga but that is a big part of yoga - it helps open your chakras (afterall, it did originate in india) which is your body's energy centers. Keeping your body physically fit is only one benefit/aspect of yoga.

So... you experienced something for your highest good. I've not experienced this before through yoga (i've only spent a few months practicing), but I've felt energy shifting in my body after meditation before and I've been practicing for over 2 years. I also want to suggest drinking more water. (I studied reiki which is a an energy balancing system and that is what I am told when I go in for a session -- to drink plenty of water afterwards during the following week.)

I did not have such an experience. But I guess the energy is moving.

I was on a few year hiatus from my hot yoga practice until this past spring.

I worked my way through hatha classes into power. I love them both but I am definitely a vinyassa flow/ashtanga person.

When I reached my 15th class, as I laid in savasana, I began to feel like I was coming out of my body. It was like a thud and from my third eye, expanding across my head and shooting through my body, I finally felt this blissful detachment from everything I had been hanging onto over the years. You see, I forgot about my practice. This thud was amazing. I feel so much more open and receptive.

I do believe you went through an energy shift. It's totally possible. Flowing with body, mind and breath cleanses your energy, allowing it to pass.

Keep it up!
