Yoga embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action; restraint and fulfillment; harmony between man and nature; a holistic approach to health and well being. It is not about exercise but to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, the world and the nature.…Let us work towards adopting an International Yoga Day
Bridging the experiential wisdom of Yoga with empirical modern medical science.
• Yoga is usually found in Physical Education & Sports deptts of universities
• We at the Centre for Yoga Therapy, Education and Research, have it in a medical institution since 2010
– educating future Yoga therapists (PGDYT, M.Phil..),
– scientifically researching Yoga, – quality of life enhancing
benefits for ~ 23000 patients – creating awareness amongst
medical professionals– 44 publications & 3 CMEs
All aspects of human psycho-physiological functioning improved
When the breath is steady, emotions become more balanced
When the body is stilled, the mind starts to calm down
Conscious focus on the present moment-the NOW
Integration breath pattern with coordinated smooth body
movements
Healthy improvements in physical, mental, emotional & social well-being
Attainment of highest physical, mental, emotional, social &
spiritual potential
Enhanced ability to manage omnipresent stressors and thrive
positively in all aspects of human life.
Where the mind goes, there the energy flows!
You can use your mind to change your brain to change your mind for the better.
This is self-directed neuroplasticity.
