Swasthya Yoga a Healthy Practice
'Swasthya' the word is derived from Sanskrit, a root language of Hinduism & Buddhism, meaning well-being. Swasthya Yoga is very low impact stretches with awareness movement & heavy focused on our internal breath incorporated with visualization and mindfulness. Swasthya Yoga is based on Patanjali's basic fundamental Yogic Rules, which comprise Devotion, Asanas (Postures) & Meditation. However over the period of time, I have combined Buddhist Meditation known as Vipashyana within the framework of Yoga . Therefore it is unique in a sense that it provides both Hindu/Buddhist feel in the Yoga itself along with small practice of REIKI at the end.
The language we use: Mindfulness, Love, Compassion, Greater Awareness of the Mind, Body & Speech (Triple Gem).
Pranayama, which basically means extending the life force. It entails more than the mere regulation of the body's oxygen intake. In Swasthya Yoga, we practice breath awareness. By regulating (harmonizing and slowing down) the breath and thus the life force manifesting in the body, the yogi simultaneously balances and decelerates the mind. It is the backbone of the practice.
