Why do souls need refreshment?
Can you imagine yourself eating only one dish- Chapati Dal, three times a day for an entire year? or let’s just say a month, or let me just save you the trouble say a week. You definitely will respond with a big NO even for a week, let alone a month or a year. Then how can you imagine to keep on working hectic hours with no refreshment and no reset time to your soul which is of utmost importance? There is a reason why the nature has designed everything in a peculiar way. The functionality of each organ and body part is unique. There is a reason why an individual should not just work, work, work but refresh, take a break and give rest to mind and body. And if we speak of healthy body which is capable enough to take the stress and pressure of your work you have to pay attention to it’s needs as well.

Give your body what it needs and it will return the favor by returning enormous amounts of energy that will keep you going!

Why Yoga?
Ancient Indian methodologies stated Yoga as one of the most essential part of human lives living on this planet. This sacred study was originated in India, Yes our country. The reason why Yoga is self sufficient for overall health care is that it is completely well equipped with dedicated asanas for each and every body part. Urban cultures are adopting Yoga and meditation as new mind and body workout rather than the, now, conventional gyms and other activities.
