ABOUT US

• The Word Yoga is derived from the Sanskrit root
  Yuj (To Join, to use, to concentrate one's
  attention on) meaning to bind, join, attach and
  Yoke to direct and concentrate one's attention
  on, to use and apply.
• Yoga was collated, Co-ordinate and systematized
  by Patanjali (The pro-pounder of Yoga Philosophy)
  in his classical work, the Yoga Sutras, which
  consists of 185 terse aphorisms.

• The System of Yoga is so called because it
  teaches the means by which the individual soul
  can be united to or be in communion with the God,
  and so secure liberation. 
• Bhagavat Gita (One of the source books of Hindu
  Philosophy, containing the essence of the
  Upanishads), which is the most important
  authority on Yoga Philosophy, Lord Shri Krishna
  explains to Arjuna the meaning of Yoga as a
  deliverance from contact with pain and sorrow. 
• When the restlessness of the mind, intellect and
  self is stilled through the practice of Yoga, the
  Yogi by the grace of the spirit within himself
  finds fulfillment.

• When the senses are stilled, when the mind is at
  rest, when the intellect wavers not then, say the
  wise, is reached the highest stage. 
• Yoga has also been described as wisdom in work
  or skilful living amongst activities with harmony
  and moderation.  Asanas (Postures) should never
  be practiced immediately after Pranayama
  (Rhythmic control of breath).  If Pranayama is
  done first allow some time at least an hour to
  elapse before starting Asanas. 
• All the ancient commentaries on Yoga have
  stressed that it is essential to work under the
  direction of Guru (Master/Teacher).

• The practice of Yoga induces a primary sense of
  measure and proportion.  Each unfulfilled area of
  tissue and nerve, of brain or lung, is a
  challenge to our will and integrity, or otherwise
  a source of frustration and death.
• Yoga is a timeless pragmatic science evolved over
  thousands of years dealing with the physical.
  moral, mental and spiritual well being of man as
  a whole.
• Yoga for children is certainly one way to ensure
  that our children grow up healthy and happy.  Of
  the many aspects of Yoga, Yama, Niyama and Asana
  are relevant for children. 
• While the principles Yama and Niyama reinforce
  the universal values such as Truth, Non-violence,
  Cleanliness and contentment, The Asanas help a
  growing child develope physically, emotionally
  and psychologically.  In this way Yoga is a
  necessary complement to formal education.
