HATHA YOGA
Hatha yoga, which means "yoga for health", symbolizes the physical aspect of the practice called yoga. The practice of hatha yoga leads to purification of Prana, and then the mind automatically becomes calm and steady. Hatha yoga is a great science which every one can practice according to his or her own capability. The human being health depends on the co-ordination of various systems of body and mind and mutual rhythms of various systems of the body. If ill health is in one system it creates ill health in rest of the body, therefore if we are able to create health in one system of the body, then gradually all systems of human being will improve, which is attained by regular practice of Hatha Yoga. The correct balance of body's opposite forms of energies creates good health. Whenever, these positive and negative flows are suppressed, blocked, dissipated or poorly distributed, disease inevitable results. The main source of energy in life is positive and negative energies, therefore the science of physical and mental harmony in yoga.


ASANAS
Asana derived from the Sanskrit root meaning "to stay", "to be", "to sit" or "to be established in a particular position". Asanas encourages flexibility and strengthen the skeletal, muscular, glandular and nervous system. They help in relieving blockages of pranic flow, regulate flow of prana, and stimulate the charkas, leading to a state of balance. It improves blood circulation and assists in venous and lymphatic drainage. Also asanas are not meant for only body; they help us to achieve harmony and balanced state of body, mind, intellectual,
breathing and spiritual level. Asanas helps us to experience the inner calmness, peace of mind, health at its highest state. So we would overcome ignorance, lethargy to be healthy and discipline our life leading to health, also develop healthy attitude towards life and its goal. It leads us to happiness for present and long term.


PRANAYAMA
Pranayama concerns breathing practice where prana, vital air or energy, is contained and balanced; yama is the control and direction of that energy and is gained by conscious inhalation, breath retention and exhalation. It leads to purification of nadis, balancing energy flow in channels, release energy block and helps in proper functioning of charkas which have different roles in health and spiritual growth.


PRANA AND DISEASE
The physical body is a store house of pranic energy. This energy is sub divided into five components according to its interactions with five elements - earth, water, fire, air and ether. It then manifests into more gross forms of energy.


MUDRAS
Mudras are gesture or practice which awaken the prana in various charkas.


YOGANIDRA
This gives the highest state of relaxation. The only requirement is the true inner urge to make a whole hearted effort to relax and then the technique gives tremendous results. By the practice of yoga nidra our awareness improves day by day of the body, mind, and breathing. So as time progresses and repetition of practice is done it leads to assessment of ones strength and weaknesses. By this one can easily overcome the weakness. Yoganidra leads us to improve our internal awareness thereby bringing about qualitative change and betterment in
handling day to day stress efficiently. Yoganidra helps us to relax not only the physical body, but the mind, emotions and release tensions which are deep seated, thereby helping to manage day to day life happily.


MEDITATION
It is a practice of repetition of mantra, known to having healing power. Meditation is food for soul. Meditation is calming the thoughts of mind and focus of mind is on looking inward to purify our thought patterns leading to a state of eternal happiness.


ASTANGA YOGA
Sage Patanjali gives us eight steps of Raja Yoga:
  YAMA (Moral discipline).
  NIYAMA (Self restraint)
  ASANA (Posture)
  PRANAYAMA (Breath control)
  PRATHYAHARA (Sensory inhibition)
  DHARANA (Concentration)
  DHYANA (Meditation)
  SAMADHI. (Ecstasy)
  SHATKARMA

Shatkarma purifies the whole system and removes blockages in the nadis (energy channels).

Asanas advantage: Yoga asanas (yogic postures) is a form of isotonic exercise, where in a constant resistance (body weight) is moved through a joint's full range of motion.

Asanas Advantage : The primary advantage of Yoga asanas (yogic postures) as a form of Isotonic training
is that muscular strength gains occur through the joint's full range of motion, while practising yogic postures on a regular basis. When a person performs Yogic postures, a constant resistance (body weight) is moved through a joint's full range of motion. Since in Yogic postures, a constant resistance (body weight) is moved through a joint's full range of motion, yogic postures are very effective as a form of isotonic muscular strength training technique.

Lack of physical activity leads to lack of elasticity in muscles, and tendons and ligaments tighten and shorten, Hence Yogic postures (asanas) should be practised to improve and maintain muscular flexibiity. Customised Yogic techniques are taught. Diet advice is given. Yogic techniques to be avoided is educated to the individual.

Yoga sessions are based on the concept "As unique as the finger print, so unique is our customisation" - Registered mark.

Yoga sessions are customised to suit the requirements of each individual, based on the body's flexibility, state of mind, goal of the individual and availability of time with out losing the true essence of Yoga and basic principles of Yoga.

ADVANTAGES OF AEROBIC EXERCISE(Yoga, Running, Swimming, Bicycling, Walking, ) OR ENDURANCE EXERCISE
Aerobic(running, bicycling, swimming, walking, yoga), or endurance, exercise increases a muscle's ability to sustain moderate exercise over a long period. Aerobic activities(such as running, bicycling, swimming, and walking, yoga) increase the number of blood vessels in a muscle without increasing in size. The increased blood flow permits faster delivery of oxygen and glucose to the muscle fibers for more efficient energy production. This type of exercise also increases the number of mitochondria in the fibers, and the fibers synthesize more myoglobin. These changes result in more efficient muscle metabolism, which leads to greater endurance and resistance to fatigue. Aerobic exercise(running, bicycling, swimming, walking, yoga) benefits more than just skeletal muscles. Aerobic exercise(running, bicycling, swimming, walking ,yoga) improves neuromuscular coordination, ventilation capabilities of the lungs, gas exchange in the tissues, and cardiac output. Aerobic exercise(running, bicycling, swimming, walking, yoga) increases the health and strength of the entire body.

YOGA - WELL-BEING
Well-Being has been defined as the constant and deliberate effort to stay healthy and achieve the highest potential for well-being. The concept of well-being incorporates many other components other than those associated with physical fitness, such as proper nutrition, disease prevention, smoking cessation, stress management, safety, spirtituality and health education. Well-Being requires a balance between physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, and social well-being.


YOGA - HOMEOSTASIS:

Integratives, Energy Balance, Biochemistry, Soul-Senses-Mind-Body-Link

As unique as your finger print, So unique is our customization® of
"Relax-Detox-Rejuvenate-Heal" concepts of Ancient & Traditional Medicine Wisdom (Ayurveda Lifestyle Wisdom, Yoga, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Naturopathy, Aromatherapy) to restore internal environment conditions (chemical content, volume, temperature, and pressure of body's tissue fluid) balance and stability, within normal ranges, essential to achieve and maintain Holistic (Body-Senses-Mind-Soul) Well-Being (Health-Fitness-Beauty)

When the body is healthy, the internal environment (tissue fluid that surrounds and bathes every cell of the body) conditions (chemical content, volume, temperature, and pressure of body's tissue fluid) remains stable within normal ranges, essential to achieve and maintain Holistic (Body-Senses-Mind-Soul) Well-Being (Head-to-toe Health-Fitness-Beauty)

ILLNESS - LACK OF HOMEOSTASIS :
If the Internal Environment conditions (chemical content, volume, temperature and pressure of body's tissue fluid) deviate from normal, body's mechanisms respond that try to restore Internal environment (tisue fluid) conditions to normal.

If the body's mechanisms are unsuccessful, to restore the conditions (chemical content, volume, temperature and pressure) of body's tissue fluid (internal environment) to normal, the cell malfunctions and dies. This leads to illness or disease.


Holistic Health and Well-Being:
In human beings all processes like growth, respiration, digestion, and excretion are inter related. No part of the body , from the smallest cell to a complete body system works in isolation. All organ systems of the body function together, in fine-tuned balance, for the Holistic health and well-being of the individual to maintain life.

Disease represents the disruption of the balance in the organ systems of the body functioning together.

Yoga - Holistic Health Care (Holistic Health & Well-being - Science, Skill & Art ®)-  specialises in giving individuals customised holistic lifestyle solutions to restore and maintain stability of internal environment (tissue fluid) of body by designing customised health programs to assist organ systems of the body function together, in fine-tuned balance


PHYSICAL EXERCISE ( CHARAKA'S COMPENDIUM ) :
Physical exercise is defined as intentional movement of the body undertaken to gain firmness and an increase in strength. One should practise physical exercise in a measured way. Physical exercise like walking, yoga, sports causes lightness, the power to work hard, firmness, an ability to bear discomfort, a diminution of the humours, and an increase in the fire of digestion.


PHYSICAL EXERCISE-EXCESSIVE (CHARAKA'S COMPENDIUM):
Excess physical exercise causes exertion, tiredness, depletion, thirst, blood-bile, breathlessness, coughing, feverishness, and vomiting. An intelligent person does not make a habit of over-indulgence even in acceptable things such as exercise, laughter, talking, travelling, village behaviour, or staying up all night. A person who indulges to excess in exercise, laughter, talking, travelling, village behaviour, or staying up all night and similar activities will perish violently, like a lion tugging at an elephant.
