YOGA is the union of the individual consciousness with the cosmic consciousness, and is achieved with the regular practice of asanas, pranayamas, mantras and meditation. With a regular practice, you feel more connected with yourself and closer to your true nature, all of which helps to find balance and peace.
The Foundation Yoga course focuses on the rudiments of Hatha Yoga – particularly the Surya Namaskar and basic asana practice – as well as Indian culture and festivals, including pujas such as the Havan that is practiced at the world-famous Ganga Aarti along the banks of holy Maa Ganga. It also delves into the philosophies and practices of Vedic chanting and introduces students to both Karma and Bhakti Yoga from their origins in the Bhagavad Gita and Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras.
Recently, students from the United Kingdom and across India joined this program, a beginner course offering students the first steps on this path of well-being and self-realization. We offer you their comments, and invite you to join us for our Beginner Intensive and Intensive Yoga courses, coming up next month (August) at our ashram in Rishikesh.
