Yoga

Is a very powerful tool and philosophy for those who are searching for a holistic way to take care of mental, physical and spiritual health.

 

​

Patanjali’s definition of yoga:
The great sage Patanjali gave one of the best definitions of yoga, “ Yoga Citta Vrtti-Nirodhah”  meaning “Free from thoughts form”  (presence, empty mind, peace and happiness) ‘Yoga is the blocking (nirodha) of mental modifications (chitta vritti) so that the seer (drashta) re-identifies with the (higher) self. Patanjali’s system has come to be the epitome of Classical Yoga Philosophy of India.
