Program

Ayurveda and yoga are part of our great tradition. While Ayurveda is mainly concerned with the health of the body, prana and the mind, yoga deals with flexibility of body, mental and psychological health issues. Yoga exercises help with their preventive and curative effect to bring the neuro hormones and the metabolism of the body in a natural order and balance and improve endocrine metabolism. This practice covers stress and stress-related disorders in a natural way.

Meditation is to attain higher levels of consciousness and take in the inner depths of the mind. The road to meditation consists of three phases; Dharana (concentration), Dhyana (meditation), and samadhi (enlightenment). At the concentration for a long time to any particular cause, and the attention is fixed or meditation Dhyana is reached. Prolonged meditation leads to inner happiness.
