What is Yoga ?   Yoga is one of the six main systems of Indian philosophy called Shad-Darshanas. Yoga is a philosophy as a well as a practical science. The Yoga system of philosophy has been existing from ancient times, but it was  codified by Maharishi Patanjali , today known as Patanjali Yoga Sutras.

The effect of yoga goes beyond the body. Benefits of yoga include not only strength and steadiness of the body, but also physiological and mental health. Yoga prevents as well as alleviates health problems. Finally, one has to understand that Yoga asana were developed as part of spiritual science. The goal of yoga is primarily spiritual. our Asana are a prerequisite for the higher practices of pranayama , meditation and samadhi.

PRANAYAMA The yogic breathing techniques Pranayama means the regulation of breath.  Breath and mind are closely related. If one can control the breath, one can control the mind and visa versa.  Pranayama gives steadiness and lightness to the body and calmness to the mind.

Mudra The Yogic Gestures Mudras are gestures or signs in yoga using the fingers, hands, eyes or other parts of the body to channelize the energy in a certain way.  The channeling of energy can be used either to attain a higher state of consciousness or can be directed towards the body and mind for healing and curing various diseases. The channeling is achieved by using various gestures of the hands, fingers, eyes, etc. In some of the mudras, ‘Bandhas’ or pranic locks are also used to direct the energy.
