It is common knowledge that the benefits of Yoga far exceed those of virtually any other form of exercise. There are, of course, many different forms of Yoga, both ancient and modern. So here is your chance to learn how to harness the powerful prana-shakti energy of the chakras (sometimes called Kundalini, or serpent power) that leads to the higher goals of all the Classical Forms of Yoga.

Yoga consists of Asanas (postures),Pranayama (breathing exercises), Dhyanam (meditation techniques), and Vedic chanting. This step-by-step approach leads us towards healing of body, clearing the mind, and freeing the spirit. Asanas (postures) prepare the body, breath, and mind for Pranayama (breathing exercises). Pranayama prepares the breath and mind for Pratyahara (withdrawal of the senses), Dharana (concentration), and Dhyana (meditation). Finally, meditation leads the mind towards experiencing a continuous state of samadhi, union with God or Self.

Yoga therapy (Yoga chikitsa) comes from the classical Yoga of Patanjali and the traditional Indian medicinal system called Ayurveda. According to Ayurveda, a healthy balance in the system can be restored through Aahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle – daily activities), and Aushadhi (medicine). These methods are used to transform the physical, vital, and mental dimensions of the system. Diet and lifestyle should be modified before medicine is used as a last resort. Yoga therapy deals with diet and lifestyle modifications. In Yoga therapy, personal Yoga practices are designed to affect a change in the lifestyle (Vihara) which in turn affects your body, speech, and mind (actions, words, and thoughts).
