Yoga is the art and science of living in accordance with the natural laws governing the universe. Positive health is defined as a state of dynamic equilibrium between man and his changing environment. The root cause of most diseases is identified as stressful lifestyle, improper food habits, and lack of balanced exercises. From times immemorial, yoga has been recognised as the most suitable technique, a structured lifestyle that maintains harmonious communion with nature.
Spiritual Rejuvenation
