GYAN YOGA for De-stressing

Today, most people are aware of the positive effects of yoga used to treat stress and depression. According to the great sage, Patanjali, "YOGA CHITTA VRITTI NIRODHA", or translated means, “yoga is to control thoughts, emotions and moods arising in our mind.”  Maybe you have witnessed a negative thought or mood, create tension in the body.  Carrying frustration, pain or anger, often results in stress and depression. Yoga poses practiced with pranayama release tension and stress. GYAN YOGA goes beyond the physical.

 

 

GYAN YOGA for Strength Training

While practicing yoga, students are taught to hold the body in certain positions called asanas or yoga poses. Both muscle contraction and extension are required to get in to the pose, to stay in the pose and to come out of the pose. We use our own body weight to strengthen our muscles. Learning to maintain a steady breath during practice, oxygenates the body and makes us feel energetic.

 

 

 

 

GYAN YOGA for Flexibility

Joint movement is necessary to walk, run, sit or do anything. Your range of joint motion determines the level of your flexibility, or how much your muscles can be stretched.  In order to run, play sports or even for a general sense of well being in the body, a certain level of range of motion is required in the joints.
