Yoga Is a Way of Life

Are you fit enough to save your life?

Fitness is not just getting yourself a gym membership. Fitness is achieved when body, mind and soul are all well integrated. And Yoga is the only answer and solution. So before your body and mind starts to wither and give up make Yoga your lifelong companion.


Jeenal teaching in a Yoga class in the 
Yoga Teacher Training Chiang Mai, Thailand

When your body starts to get regular aches and pains, when your mind gets in a habit of accumulating negativity and stress and you no more feel energetic, joyful and healthy, then you are running towards danger. Danger of falling in prey of diseases that traps your life in this vicious cycle. If your body is showing symptoms of fatigue, reduced memory, uncontrolled obesity or mental imbalance or any other such ill signs then you should soon question yourself. Are you fit enough to save your life?


The fact is that constant strain and stress can damage the biological system considerably and affect the efficiency in normal dealings of life.


Modern man perceives fitness as sweating out at the gym and even after adopting such practices, he yet continues to suffer from health problems without attaining any results. The reason to this is that a human is a combination of mental, emotional, physical, intellectual and spiritual aspects. Just training the physical level will not bring harmony at other levels. A human needs to be treated at all levels. Yoga stands as a solution to this major human life problem.

According to Yoga, health is a state of the organism that brings in a feeling of harmony, efficiency in work, ability to meet an emergency situation calmly, ability to arrive at appropriate decisions quickly and, above all, longevity.


Yoga emphasizes on training our minds, thoughts, emotions, actions and speech.


When a man is faced with normal daily activities, he often responds with stress and negative emotions. While eating, sleeping, talking or driving a car he faces a lot of stress that makes the heart, lungs and ductless glands work faster than their normal rate of work, and the activity of the stomach and intestines is suspended. Further more the assimilation process is disturbed and gradually our energy reserves are wasted and thrown away. 

Harmony of the working forces within the organism gets disturbed.


But when Yoga is applied to day-today living, it creates a positive environment both internally and externally bringing growth and nourishment. Yoga philosophy and its code of conduct (Yamas and Niyamas) and techniques such as Asanas and Pranayamas lead to an uplift of one's personality. This automatically leads to controlled behaviour, emotional balance and a healthy body.


Yamas and Niyamas bring discipline and joy and further the Asanas and Pranayamas develop a strong immune system.
Overall the yogic practices emphasizes on training of mind and senses. Yoga will help you to cope up with life's emergencies, big or small, whether it's running to the airport or fleeing a burning building with a balanced state of mind and healthy emotions. With an increasing amount in suicides and crime, it shows that man is not equipped with a fit mind. It’s Yoga that will bring in a sense of responsibility and duty.

After all fitness is not just getting yourself a gym membership.

Fitness is achieved when body, mind and soul are all well integrated. And Yoga is the only answer and solution. So before your body and mind starts to wither and give up make Yoga your lifelong companion.

Dear Freinds!

Namaste! We are going through our 1st week of Teacher Training course admist the beautiful and green mountains of Brazil. It is really an elevating and spiritual experience to practice Yoga in between this natural beauty.

Studies  and Asanas sessions are going on regularly and we are also taking some time out in the evenings to see the sunset. And we are in love with the horses, dogs and cows. Not forgetting the fresh milk, cheese and yoghurt, as well as some milk sweets from the happy cows from the farm.

We have already done some some Yogic Kriyas for cleansing, and today a few Pranayams! (Breathing Teachiniques)

So I am leaving for the OM CHANTING SESSION. It is 6 pm..almost the end of the day..after the Om chanting we will have dinner and watch a nice movie in the  TV room to nourish our mind with good thoughts!!!
