Yoga is an old discipline from India. It is both spiritual and physical. Yoga uses breathing techniques, exercise and meditation. It helps to improve health and happiness.

Yoga is the Sanskrit word for union. Patanjali was a pioneer of classical yoga. He defined yoga as “the cessation of the modification of the mind”. (stopping changing the mind).

A person doing yoga will move from one posture (called asana) to another. For example, the “sun-salutation” contains 12 poses of asanas, one after the other, and is said to help balance body and soul. The “sun-salutation” is popularly known as “Suryanamaskar”.

Your Expectations of a Wonderful Sea Side Ayurveda Resort are Fulfilled here…

Yoga is not only a physical exercise as is taught in the West. In India, yoga is a science that has been practiced for thousands of years which aims to master the body, mind and soul and to lead a life of harmony and peace. Imagine having a perfectly healthy body and mind, functioning at their optimal capacity – no sickness, no disease, and no stress – that’s what yoga can do for any human being at any stage of life.

According to yoga, health is just a mere absence of disease, but a positive feeling of well-being in the mind, the body and the soul. The literal translation of yoga is – harmony of body, mind & soul, harmony in relationships with others and harmony with the entire Universe. Evidence to suggest that regular yoga practice increases brain GABA levels and has been shown to improve mood and anxiety more than some other metabolically matched exercises, such as walking. Studies of the effects of yoga on heart disease suggest that yoga may reduce high blood pressure, improve symptoms of heart failure, enhance cardiac rehabilitation, and lower cardiovascular risk factors.
