Yoga Brings Health & Peace

Yoga’s viewpoint is that the happiness we inherently seek cannot be gained through the material world, but only from a deepening self-awareness, a turning inwards toward the spiritual, rather than outwards towards the external environment. This ancient wisdom states that to live a fulfilling life, our physical need is health, our psychological need is self-knowledge, and our spiritual need is oneness with divinity.

So why do we in the West want to reduce it to just physical postures?

Today, in our increasingly volatile world, the need to emphasise that Yoga is a wholistic tradition, is even more urgent than ever.

In agreement Swamiji, an internationally acclaimed spiritual master, says: “Yoga is a practical spiritual path, it’s about a very simple thing – your Happiness.”

“Regular practice of Yoga, encompassing all aspects – physical postures, meditation, contemplation and the practice of positive attitudes such as gratitude, understanding and acceptance – provides a deep stability and sense of perspective, a veritable well-spring of calm. Such stability holds us steady in situations of life-crisis.
