THE FIVE POINTS OF YOGA


1. EXERCISE (Asanas)
Enhances the flexibility of the joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments.
The asanas improve circulation, massage the internal organs and improve
organ function. A flexible and strong spine enhances blood circulation and
keeps the body young and powerful.
2. BREATHING (Pranayama)
Connects the body to its battery, the solar plexus, which is an enormous
reservoir of energy. Deep, conscious breathing boosts our daily energy
reserves – stress and many diseases (for example, depression) can be
alleviated in this way.
3. RELAXATION (Savasana)
If the body and mind are subjected to constant overload, their performance
suffers. A few minutes of physical, mental and spiritual relaxation counteract
worry and fatigue more effectively than several hours of uneasy sleep.
4. DIET (vegetarian)
Is one that is simple, natural and health promoting, and can be easily digested
and assimilated by the body. It consists of food products that have the most
positive effects on the body and mind, while having the fewest negative effects
on the environment and on other creatures.
5. POSITIVE THINKING & MEDITATION(Vedanta and Dhyana)
Are the keys to peace of mind. By controlling the movements of the mind, we can
eliminate negative thought patterns and experience deep inner peace


"It is our birth right to be in a calm and relax state of being!"
