推薦的Swarodaya Yuga-陳香蘭老師
2004年從陳香蘭老師學習瑜珈，後來在練習太極拳時受益莫大。也影響日後在太極拳教學方法：
重視丹田呼吸：由於陳老師上課時會鍛鍊各種呼吸方式（瑜珈的呼吸比太極拳複雜多了）。因此我在練拳時幾乎所有的動作、式子都是由丹田呼吸來帶動核心肌肉群來推動。只要呼吸到位，稍微練習一下，很快就有氣感。假如不用呼吸帶領則練了多年還沒感覺，這就是差異。
重視骨骼肌肉的位置及互相牽動的次序:建議有心學習的學員可以參加基礎的瑜珈課程慢慢認識自己的身體結構，學會將經絡拉開。因為經絡鬆氣感才會強，如此才會真的體會到鬆沉。在練拳的過程中才會體會到將全身骨肉逐漸沉到腳底然後源源不斷由湧泉彈上來的的勁道。
有效率的熱身及筋絡保養：一般人練拳最怕拉筋也不願意在多花時間看書。陳老師對我的影響是，她總是把人的身體結構不厭其煩的說明，連經絡也逐一點出。因此影響我在教拳時的方法也是如此，因為我不希望大家空練習沒有用的拳架。
專注：練習瑜珈的辛苦高於練拳，瑜珈練習時必須非常專注才可以將筋骨鬆開，通常那樣的痛沒有一定的毅力是承受不了的。因此以練習瑜珈的態度學拳通常會事半功倍。陳老師在教導瑜珈時非常強調淨心、打坐、專注的訓練（這是太極拳上課無法練習的），不會一直練習體位。
以上是我學拳的心得，但是提醒大家拉筋練習一定要循序漸進，還有找到好老師慢慢練習（一年以上），這樣的收穫只有自己知道也是別人帶不走的。
有興趣跟陳老師學習，可以直接與她連絡。由於她在新店很有名，學生很多，因此課很滿，就麻煩您跟她提是我的學生她會一定會幫安排課程的。電話：0911290016, 0229142768.
我建議也可以參加她在圖書館的經絡瑜珈（沒學過的），有學過的學員可以我推薦參加傳統印度瑜珈。由於她在圖書館的課都是滿額的，因此建議提早報名，或者與現有的學員一起團報才會有名額的。

What is Swara Yoga?
The word SWARA in Sanskrit, means sound or musical note; it also means the continuous flow of air through one nostril. And we all know that YOGA means union. So Swara Yoga is the science which is about the realization of cosmic consciousness, through the awareness or observation, then control or manipulation of the flow of breath in the nostrils.
Swara yoga is an ancient science existing since before the Vedic period, over ten thousand years ago. It was a secret science, only available for the select few, especially kings and dedicated seekers. It was kept as a closed secret by the ancient sages and saints who had intuitively received this knowledge from the Divine.
Swara yoga is a tantric science coming from the Agama Shastras and from Shaiva Tantra, where Lord Siva is the guru and Shakti is the disciple She asks questions about nature and the governing forces of the universe. Lord Siva gives this precious knowledge of swara yoga to Shakti.
Swara yoga involves the systematic study of the breath flow through the nostrils (or swara) in relation to the prevailing phases of the moon, time of day and direction . Although we think of 'pranayama' when we think of techniques associated with the breath, in Swara yoga, it is the association of the breath in relation to the activities or phases or positions of the sun, moon, planets, seasons, time of day, with the physical and mental conditions of the individual and then taking the appropriate action according to these subtle relations. For example, knowing the moon phases and checking the flow of your nostrils before you get out of bed in the morning and letting the corresponding foot be the first to touch the floor and make the first step, is a simple practice that ensures success in everything that happens for that day. The first foot to touch the ground will get the prevailing 'successful' flow of energy from the cosmos.
What are the advantages of learning Swara Yoga?
The swara yoga practices related to breath were used to understand the governing forces of life, to understand the nature of the universe and effects of the elements on body and mind by observing the different patterns of breath. Further, it was used to go beyond the limitations of the mind.
The fascinating thing about Swara yoga is that just by being aware of the swara (dominant nostril) in relation to the environment, you can manipulate the results of what you are about to do. In other words, you can find out which is going to be the successful route and then follow it. It can be as simple as checking your nostrils before setting out of the house, noting the direction you wish to go in and then choosing the appropriate foot with which you will make your first step, to ensure success and positive outcomes for everything that follows thereafter.
