What is the importance of Yoga ?
Yoga, literally means ‘Union." It is an ancient Indian discipline, which seeks to unite the soul (atman) with the universal soul or God (paramatman), through mental and physical training. Yoga is of eight types but the one known most in the west is called "Hathayoga." It is through the training of the body and the mind that yoga helps one attain the aforesaid union. Yogic exercises or asanas remove physical ailments and consequently remove mental afflictions to make this temple called body, a perfect vehicle for the soul to journey in, to its natural union with the supreme soul.

What are the benefits of yoga therapy ?
Perfected by ancient Indian masters, Asanas are very effective in keeping the body clean, fit and therefore able to face life with greater vigour. A healthy body leads to a healthy mind, due to which ones intellect becomes clearer. Ageing is slowed and the subject lives a long, healthy and therefore a fruitful life, which benefits the subject, as well as the society as a whole. By keeping your body fit, you can channelise your mind to meditate and as a result rejuvenate your soul to gain propulsion towards its goal.

What type of Yoga is most helpful ?
Pranayama is the cardinal aspect of our whole life; not because we get oxygen and eliminate carbon-di-oxide but because it vitalizes the autonomic nervous system. When one is tense, ones breath is shallow, short, irregular and uncontrolled, therefore Yoga training starts with teaching of proper yogic breathing or "Pranayama." Pranayama helps to calm the mind and allows the subject to go deep into meditational state. At this stage the life forces of the physical body come into harmony and balance to eradicate the disease process and normalize health. Pranayama if done correctly and regularly helps in quietening the mind, which further leads to the perfect state of meditation and bliss.
