SRI SRI YOGA is a celebration of the diversity in Yoga in a simple and joyful manner. We combine yoga essentials – breathing techniques, yoga postures, meditation and relaxation, and yogic knowledge. By incorporating all these beautiful facets of yoga we can look deep beyond the level of the physical body and really sharpen our sensitivity and awareness of subtler levels of existence. Practice of Sri Sri Yoga cultivates a more healthy and happy lifestyle.
On a physical level, Yogic exercises strengthen, lengthen and replenish muscle tissues, which helps hold bones and align the whole body. Holding postures burns fat and reduces cholesterol.
Yogic breathing brings more oxygen to the heart and nourishes the whole system. The breath work also aids in reducing toxin levels in the body by expelling unwanted stresses.
Yoga’s greatest benefits are felt in the mind. We all know that peace of mind is more valuable than an attractive figure. Even though the practice of Yoga will defiantly improve one’s physical appearance, the radiance of a Yogi’s smile and energetic eyes are the best rewards.
ASANA (POSTURE): stretch the body, stretch the mind
Asana is defined as “posture”. Its literal meaning is “seat”. More than just stretching, asanas open the energy channels (nadis) and the energy centers (chakras) of the body, purify and strengthen the body, and focus the mind, and prepare us for meditation.
PRANAYAMA (BREATHING): easy and free de-stressing
Yoga breathing, or Pranayama, ior “breath control”. Ideally, opens up the inner life force; it is intended for yoga practitioners to help and prepare them in their Meditation process.
MEDITATION: the mind fully in the present moment
Meditation is creating the cessation of all thought. As thoughts dissipate, the mind becomes quiet, and we are able to be fully in the present moment. The benefits of a regular meditation practice include reduction of stress, tension, anxiety and frustration, as well as improved memory, concentration, inner peace and whole body well-being.
GYAN YOGA: inspiring platform for personal growth
The Yoga tradition come together through three things: experiencing (asana), understanding (gyan yoga) and living the knowledge (karma). By integrating these three, it essentially transforms into a way of life by bringing a totality to the experience while revealing its profound wisdom. When Yoga is practiced in its totality, the experience becomes an inspiring platform for personal growth and development.
Karma Yoga: act without attachment
Karma Yoga is the path of serving others selflessly: putting in 100% effort but not expecting anything in return, with love and devotion one would serve others selflessly. Performing one’s duties and serving humanity without any selfish motives purifies the heart and brings fulfillment.
AYURVEDA: yogic lifestyle
The study of life is Ayurveda. ‘Veda’ means knowledge – To know. ‘Ayu’ is life. The approach of Ayurveda towards life is holistic – the sum total. The holistic approach of Ayurveda includes exercises, breathing, meditation and yogic diet.
