Benefits of Yoga
Yogasanas have a very powerful influence on all the systems of the body: nervous, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, etc. Helps loosen the joints and muscles in the body.
The combination of all asanas performed as a holistic practice has many health benefits, such as weight loss, vitalizing the entire body, sharpening the mind, and reaching optimal health.
Cyclic Practice of yogic postures in Surya Namaskar helps to loosen up joints and muscles in a short period.
Abdominal organs are stretched and compressed. This ensures proper functioning of the organs.
Our loosening and mindful movements remove nervous tension and anxiety.
Surya Namaskar practice has a profound positive effect on the back as it involves alternate backward and forward bends. It also improves spinal flexibility and results in improved immunity.
Our holistic yoga energizes the body through a combination of stimulation and relaxation.
Surya Namaskar is a very effective cardiovascular exercise. The continuous variability of muscle length during a flow of 10 postures results in reducing the probability of the types of injuries typically seen in other forms of aerobic activity.
Our asanas have alternate expansion and contraction of the chest, which helps in regulating and deepening the breath through the practice, and for a novice practitioner. We teach our yoga with breath awareness, and that helps us breathe better off the mat, also.
Surya Namaskar enhances body awareness and improves overall quality of life.
Yoga practice helps immensely in developing the capacity of mindfulness in everything we do.
When practiced in a community setting, the overall synergy and goodwill help the entire community to bind together for a good cause and to work for the society’s well-being.
Benefits of Aum Chanting
The goal of yoga is to silence the mind. Aum acts as a peaceful sound that replaces the clutter of sounds in the mind. Silence after Aum is the most important aspect of chanting.
Chanting 27 rounds of Aum will be a great pranayama practice as one regulates and coordinates breath with along with chanting. It helps expand the lung capacity when practiced with deep breathing.
Aum is a passive syllable that does not have any emotion or meaning associated with it in the regular sense of the word. Hence, it removes any thoughts and emotions from the mind.
Aum can be broken down into A — for resonance in the lower part of the body; U - for resonance in the middle part of the body; and M - for resonance in the head region. Thus, it produces vibrations in the entire body from toes to head.
Mandukya Upanishad associates A with the wakeful state, U with the dream state, and M with the deep sleep state. The silence after the chanting is the ultimate state called Turiya, the transcendence of body and mind.
Benefits of Shavasana
Shavasana is a wakeful sleep called Yoga Nidra. It helps bring awareness to the body and provides complete rest to the entire body and mind, with all its inner organs and faculties of thinking.
