Asana means a steady and comfortable pose.
In yoga, the body is seen as a vehicle for the soul.
Yoga poses (asanas) are not just for physical fitness—they also help to develop the mind and spirit.
The main focus of asanas is the spine—keeping it strong and flexible.
When the spine stays healthy through regular movement, blood circulation improves, and the nerves get enough nutrients and oxygen.
Asanas also work on the inside of the body. They affect not just the muscles, but also the organs and glands.
Through the different poses, the organs are gently massaged and stimulated, which helps them function better.
Yoga also helps balance the endocrine system (your glands and hormones), which can lead to more emotional balance and a more positive state of mind.
Yogic breathing exercises are called pranayama, which means "control of prana" (life energy).
By learning to control this energy through the breath, we can also learn to calm and focus the mind.
Through meditation, we quiet the restless mind and awaken to a state of lasting inner joy and divine peace.
Sanskrit is one of the oldest languages in the world. Mantras are sacred Sanskrit chants that invoke the Supreme Being. Each Sanskrit mantra holds mystical energy within its sound structure. To unlock this energy, we learn to repeat the mantra with a specific rhythm. Through repetition, the mantra shapes a focused and positive pattern of thought in the mind.
