Yoga and Meditation

Exploring the self

Derived from the Sankrit word ‘yuj’ which means ‘to unite or integrate’, yoga is a 5,000-year-old Indian body of knowledge. Yoga is all about harmonizing the body with the mind and breath through the means of various breathing exercises, yoga poses (asanas) and meditation.

It helps you attain a sense of composure and acceptance – with yourself, with your life and with those around you. It takes you to a different level of consciousness and understanding, where you gain perspective and peace.

​

Meditation gives you the rest that is deeper than sleep, and its benefits are manifold. A calm mind, good concentration, clarity of perception, improvement in communication, inner strength, and relaxation are all natural results of regular meditation.

In today's world of stress and a host of other negative emotions, meditation is not a luxury, but a necessity. It is key to sustaining happiness and peace of mind. Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the founder of The Art of Living, has introduced meditation to millions of people worldwide.
