Yoga is a complete life. It is a method which overhauls all aspects of human personality. Yoga does not require a turning away from life. It demands transformation and spiritualization of life. Yoga is primarily a way of life,it is not a creed. The practice of Yoga is not opposed to any religion. It is purely spiritual and universal and does not contradict an individual’s personal faith. On the other hand, it is an aid to the practice of the basic spiritual truth in all religions. Harivihar ayurvedic resort offers basic and advanced yoga packages for its guests.
The practice of yoga is based on the five cardinal principles of proper breathing, proper exercise, proper relaxation, proper diet and positive thinking.
