Put Your Body in Good Hands!

Release, Relax, Unwind

Yoga is a multi-dimensional system that includes the body, the breath, personality, intellect, and emotions, which are harmoniously interconnected.

PRACTICE HOLISTIC PHILOSOPHY

Yoga is the “union with,” implying merging oneself with the authentic Self or the Divine. It is a distinct holistic philosophy that provides an efficient path toward realizing the oneness in all human beings by combining physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation.

Good health is more than just the absence of disease. It encompasses “return to wholeness,” with increased self-awareness and empowerment as signs of expanding personal and collective health.

“When you touch one thing with deep awareness, you touch everything.”

-Lao Tzu

Yogic Breathing Helps Improve Lung Capacity

Many people breathe shallow, using less than one-third of their lung capacity. Practicing proper yogic breathing helps increase lung capacity; deep inhalations energize the body, while adequate exhalations help eliminate toxins.

Breathing techniques, especially Pranayama (notably Kapalbhati and Anulom Vilom), have anti-aging benefits, promote longevity, and support the flow of Pran Tattva. By making yoga a consistent part of your life, you can effectively manage various diseases associated with modern lifestyles.

Slouching While Seated: An Epidemic

Slouching while seated is harmful to physical and emotional health. Poor posture can have far-reaching effects, causing back and neck pain, muscle fatigue, breathing difficulties, arthritic joints, digestive problems, and mood disturbances. This can result in undue fatigue/discomfort that outlasts the strain that caused it. While using a computer or watching a movie, sit up straight with head aligned directly over the shoulders and hips, so eyes are on the screen.

Yoga for Cancer Patients & Survivors

Cancer patients who practice yoga therapy have found several subtle benefits, including increased awareness of inner stillness and a sense of unity. On a fundamental level, yoga fosters a sense of health and vitality that positively impacts other areas of life. Recent research has revealed numerous benefits of yoga, including improved mood, enhanced quality of life, reduced symptoms and stress, and better physiological factors that may influence survival in cancer patients.
