Derived from the Sanskrit word for 'union', yoga refers to
far more than exercise. It encompasses a variety of
disciplines designed to ultimately bring its practitioners
closer to true nature. while Jnana
 yoga entails the stud y of scriptures
and Karma yoga calls for selfness service to God and
mankind.
At Ayurveda Gram, the exercise are Hata yoga, a discipline
intended to prepare the body for the pursuit of union with
the divine while raising the practitioners awareness of
creation to a higher, keener state. Through Pranayama
(controlled breathing), Asana (prescribed postures) and
mediation, the Ashtanga yoga master helps one to enhance
Prana, or life force, and achieve a state of balance and
harmony between body and mind.
Each of these three disciplines contributes to the search
for union in its own way.
Breathing : As the life force Prana is believed to
enter the body through the breath, much of Pranayama is
concerned with helping you to regulate your breathing
properly.
Postures : Some yoga postures are intended to
strength and strengthen muscles, other to improve posture
and work the skeletal system, while others aim to compress
and relax the organs and nerves.
 Meditation
: Meditation supplements and reinforces
the disciplines of thought by focusing the mind and relaxing
the body.
The regular practice of yoga exercise which are personalized
to suit individual needs at Ayurveda Gram improves physical
fitness and blood circulation, reduces stress, enhances the
sense of well-being and improves the overall effectiveness
of the treatment.
