Wonderful Yoga & Massage
Yoga is a complete science of life that originated in India
many thousands of years ago. It is the oldest system of personal
development in the world encompassing the entire body, mind
and spirit. It is the union between a person's own consciousness
and the universal consciousness. The Ancient Yogis had a profound
understanding of man's essential nature and of what he needs
to live in harmony with himself and his environment. They perceived
the physical body as a vehicle, with the mind as driver, the
soul as man's true identity, and action, emotion and intelligence
as the three forces which pull the body-vehicle. In order for
these to be integrated, these three forces must be in balance.
Taking into account the interrelationship between body and mind,
the Yogis formulated a unique method for maintaining this balance
- a method that combines all the movements you need for physical
health with the Breathing and Meditation techniques that ensure
peace of mind.
The classical techniques of Yoga date back more than 5,000 years.
In ancient times, the desire for greater personal freedom, Health
and long life, and heightened self-understanding gave birth
to this system of physical and mental exercise which has since
spread throughout the world. The word Yoga means "to join
or yoke together," and it brings the body and mind together
into one harmonious experience.
Yoga is a method of learning that aims to attain the unity of
mind, body, and spirit through these three main Yoga structures:
Exercise, Breathing, and Meditation. The exercises of Yoga are
designed to put pressure on the Glandular Systems of the body,
thereby increasing its efficiency and total health. The body
is looked upon as the primary instrument that enables us to
work and evolve in the world, a Yoga student; therefore, treats
it with great care and respect. The Breathing Techniques are
based on the concept that breath is the source of life in the
body. Yoga students gently increase their breath control to
improve the health and the function of both body and mind. These
two systems prepare the body and mind for Meditation, making
it easier for students to achieve a quiet mind and be free from
everyday stress. Regular daily practice of all three parts of
this structure of Yoga produce a clear, bright mind and a strong,
capable body.
