Yoga Room

Yoga is a science as well as a method of achieving spiritual harmony through the control of mind and body. The word Yoga is derived from the Sanskrit word Yug, "to join" or "to unite" and indicates the total integration of the individual soul with the supreme soul to obtain relief from pain and suffering. The Asanas (Yogic postures) and Pranayama (control of breath) are practices that not only help to acquire perfect health but also to develop a calm and serene mind. The Asanas induce a sense of physical and mental relaxation. The yogic postures not only produce simple muscular actions but they also rehabilitate the various vital organs.

The practice of Asanas should ideally be followed by the Pranayama. (Pranayama is Yogic breathing where by the diaphragm rather than the upper chest wall, is moving.) The resultant breath is deep and oxygenates the lower portion of the lungs. Correct practice of Pranayama under the supervision of a competant Yoga teacher can dramatically reduce the incidence of Asthma, Bronchitis, Sinus problems and Colds.
