The body is analogous to a machine… it requires routine maintenance to last healthier, happier and thereby, longer. Health is not merely freedom from disease. For good health, all systems of the body must function with great efficiency including the mind, which is naturally active and dynamic. Unhealthy bodies, however, tend to house either sluggish or anxious minds. It is the practice of yoga which tones the body-mind system to bring it to tranquility. In my class, I teach how to reconcile pranayama, dharana, and dhyana with emphasis on the practice of asana, catering to the needs of specific body constitutions and physical conditions. The practice of asana involves vertical, horizontal, and cyclical movements, which ameliorate the body by stimulating specific glands that need attention. Over a period of time, and with regular practice, yoga helps anyone achieve holistic well-being. Thus, with a healthy body, a clear mind, and pure emotions, the practitioner is bound to excel in their lives.
