Yoga at Harivihar

Yoga – Introduction

Yoga is a life of self-discipline based on the tenets of simple living and high thinking. Regular practice of yoga will help attain happiness and inner peace of mind.

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.

Proper breathing – Pranayama; when tapped through yogic breathing techniques, the tremendous potential energy in the body is released for physical and mental rejuvenation.

Proper exercise – Asana; Asanas are a complete form of exercise which overhauls the entire system of the human body. The Asanas not only produce physical benefits, but they are also mental exercises in concentration and meditation.

Proper relaxation – Savasana; Relaxation-mental, physical and spiritual – is Nature’s way of recharging the system.

Proper diet -Ahara; The yogic diet consists of purely vegetarian, simple, natural foods that promote healthy constitution; have the least negative impact on the environment and cause the least pain to other beings.
