YOGA, the science of man, based on ancient Indian wisdom and culture, is
an art par excellence of living a healthy, balanced, peaceful and
contented life. Yoga being a total integrated system studies man in his
wholeness - body, mind and spirit and is wedded to certain intrinsic
principles, ideas, values, attitudes and a way of life for personal and
social benefit.

The modern disintegrated person needs to be re-educated to find the basis
of a healthy and satisfying life, a creative and meaningful life, a life
which is tension-free and gives him real freedom, happiness and peace.

classical Yoga technology. Yoga techniques help in harmonizing and
reintegrating the individual personality at all levels of
consciousness-physical, mental, moral, intellectual, emotional and
spiritual.

principle of relaxation. These are to be performed by a well-defined

Finally, the course deals with Mental and Emotional Therapeutics and with
four basic destructive emotions: anger, jealousy, fear and worry, and

right ATTITUDE of mind and a belief in a Higher Benevolent Reality are
vital in Yoga that gives one courage, confidence, fortitude, steadfastness
and strength. All these helps to develop an objective attitude to life and
leads to a gradual change in one’s HABITUAL REACTION PATTERN, a better
control of one’s personality and enables one to lead a Tension-free Life.
