Kailash School of Yoga and Holistic Healing
imparts yoga courses in all forms for yoga such as Ashtanga Vinyasa
yoga and Hatha yoga, Yoga is commonly viewed as nothing more than
another form of physical exercise that has the potential to enhance
physical well being, aid in weight loss or help one to achieve
control over one’s own body by contorting it into various
shapes. In India however, Yoga is more than just a program of
physical exercises. It is regarded as a way of life and provides
us with a philosophy that has the potential to aid us in attaining
liberation from the material world and union of the self with
the Supreme Being. This can be achieved through a course of physical
and mental discipline which will enhance the quality of any practitioner’s
life.
The benefits of yoga are manifold and in short
it can be said that yoga enhances the physical, emotional, mental
and spiritual wellbeing of the practitioner. The are many different
types and styles of yoga and they each are distinguished by their
individual postures, breath, slow and rhythmic movements, philosophy
and a combination of many other factors. Although the basic asanas
and breathing exercises remain the same, how they are done, in
what order, and where attention is focused while doing them constitute
the main differences among the many schools.
Regardless of your age or fitness level, you can
find a style that will appeal to you and be most appropriate for
your particular body or personality type. Yoga aims to expand
the practitioner’s awareness during practice but also throughout
the daily life. Practitioner should always keep this in their
mind and be aware of their actions and the underlying motivations
for their action.
