Yoga – The Ancient Science of Total Health
The Wisdom of Yoga
Yoga is an ancient system of techniques for all-round health and well being of the individual. These techniques have been tested and refined over thousands of years, and are available to anyone willing to learn them. The scientific and easy-to-learn exercises provide a practical, natural and holistic way to achieve health and vitality. Yoga is not a religion. Anyone from any faith can practice the techniques.
Stress Relief
Today’s life is full of stress. Although we have reached a high level of increasing tension and fatigue. Despite our modern achievements, many people feel restless and unhappy, because life is not in balance any more. Environmental stress and bad personal habits also add to this strain. All this results in various physical and mental diseases such as depression, high blood pressure, heart disease and even cancer.
Finding a Balance
Yoga offers a simple and practical solution to these problems and helps us to find a balance in our life. It enables us to deal effectively with the many challenges we constantly face, and to achieve the inner strength, success and happiness we all desire.
Asanas and More
People tend to think of Yoga as complicated stretching exercises. Yet the most helpful of these exercises, also called asanas, are not very difficult to practice. It only takes a little time to develop the flexibility of our joints. More importantly, asanas also work on a deeper level: by subtle pressure on the glands of our body, they balance our hormones. Hormones play a key role in our overall health and well-being. Almost all physical and mental diseases can be linked to an imbalance in the glands of our body.
Meditation
There is more to Yoga than asanas. Meditation is a systematic and scientific way to gently focus the mind. The body’s response to meditation is just the opposite of its reaction to stress. Meditation calms the central nervous system as well as our breathing, heart rate and blood pressure. The regular practice of meditation broadens the scope of your mind, helping you to develop a keener sense of intuition and a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you. People who meditate typically experience a state of deep inner peace and harmony, which in turn leads to more intense and lasting feelings of happiness and fulfilment.

F.A.Q
What type of Yoga do you teach?
Our style of Raja-Dhi-Raja Yoga is gentle, easy to practice type of yoga that encompasses asanas with deep breathing and meditation. We hold our poses longer to effectively massage the glandular and nervous systems. This would ensure a more balanced secretion of hormones, thus building stronger anti-bodies for a healthier internal system, while Meditation helps in attaining a peaceful state of mind.
This gentle style is most suitable for people who prefer a relaxing and rejuvenating form of yoga, as it is not fast paced. People from almost all ages can learn this form of Yoga.
Is Raja-Dhi-Raja Yoga different from Hatha Yoga?
Originally Hatha yoga is about controlling the mind by means of physical exercises only. The commercialized Hatha yoga often turns into aerobics or practicing postures for the purpose of body fitness and flexibility only.
Raja-Dhi-Raja Yoga teaches you how to focus efficiently through mental exercises [Meditation], with the help of the body [Yoga Asanas and Massage] with relaxation sessions and good advice for a Healthy Balanced Lifestyle.
