We look at yoga not only as a form of practice that aligns the body and the mind but also as a way of therapy. Is the mind separate from the body? Is the body just a physical form? Do they both intertwine at all? What is the connection between them? Through asking these questions, you will also understand what yoga therapy training is. In fact we look at yoga as a mind-body connection bringing stability to one’s life. In that way, it can be called a complete therapy in itself. Yoga can also be used to cure many pains like sciatica or even intangible discomforts like mental health. We use tennis balls under our lower back to help in sciatica pain coupled with some yoga postures and movements. We call them yoga therapy balls for sciatica. That is why we say that yoga has many benefits and does not only improve posture, presence and blood flow but also helps us in relieving pain. Mental health is another area that yoga helps in by helping us calm our minds, biologically releasing better...

Hatha yoga is the art of physical fitness that works on your body, mind and soul all together and thus brings in balance. We often don’t realize how off-balance we are as humanity. Also we rarely find ourselves feeling satisfied, happy and excited. This is because we are always running. We need to stop, pause and learn to be okay in a state of nothingness. We have to force ourselves to learn being in this state to bring back stability in our lives. Hatha yoga is just designed for this. It is a forceful form of yoga that works with many other different forms to bring about better posture, strength, flexibility and balance. It includes performing certain yoga poses and staying in them while the sweat flows down your body. Hence, it is also a great way of working out and a great way of feeling calmer. After a hatha yoga class, everyone feels much lighter and calmer. It’s because the blood flow improves all across the body, covering even the most ignored and inactive parts of it. This is...

Aerial yoga was invented by Christopher Harrison, a gymnast and a Broadway choreographer. He made it an interesting combination of yoga, Pilates, dance, gymnastics, calisthenics and aerial acrobatics. Unlike traditional yoga, you don’t do aerial yoga on the floor but in the air a few feet above the ground in a hammock specially designed for the purpose hanging down from a hook in the ceiling. Not to worry, it can easily bear the weight of even the fattest man on earth! You can raise or lower the height of the hammock according to your preferences. In fact it acts like a swing completely supporting your body. You can also move forward or backward as required by the yoga pose you decide to do on the hammock. You will be surprised to note that the hammock makes even the most difficult postures to perform on floor much easier to do on a hammock. Moreover the swinging quality of the hammock encourages you to add your own innovative varieties to them. And since you have to hold up your wei...

I often wondered in my early years what the word Yoga actually meant until I studied a course of Sanskrit language in my school. In fact Yoga is a Sanskrit word that literally translates to addition. Hence Yoga stands for joining together through adding. That is how, by addition, the discipline of Yoga aims at combining the body, the mind and the soul into one single whole in which there are no contradictions left at any level, be it separately in between them or else in the conflicting fragments of each one of them individually. Yoga got formulated as early as around 600 BC, but it took another one thousand years to be established as a full-fledged discipline with the coming of Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Pilates is a form of mindfulness. It is a workout that works on alignment of the body and core strengthening. It also helps you raise your awareness of the different body parts and muscle groups in your body. Keep reading...
