WORKSHOP DETAILS:
WHAT IS YOGA?
Translation of the word yoga is UNION; Union Of the Body, the Mind and the Life Energy.
The Ancient Yogic System divides this Union for Better understanding:
- Body:Annamayakosha (or) Food Body
- Mind:Manamayakosha (or) Mental Body
- Energy:Pranamayakosha (or) vital/Energetic Body.
Yoga also means being in Union with our elements.
-
- Earth is made of 5 elements: Earth, Water, Air, Fire & Space.
- Every Being on Earth is made up of different compositions of these 5 elements.
The 5 elements are derived from their respective sources as :
-
-
- Earth: Solid food
- Water: Water/fluids
- Air: Breath
- Fire: Activity
- Space: Sleep
-
We have to understand, accept and incorporate these 5 elements consciously in a balanced manner to lead a Healthy, Happy, Peaceful & Balanced life.
TYPES OF YOGA
Yoga literally means Union. To achieve this union, The Ancient Yogic System divided it into 4 major types /branches. Each of these 4 types has to be given equal importance in practice to achieve full union in the evolutionary process. Just by achieving /practicing one area & leaving the rest creates an imbalance & again there is a halt in the process.
The 4 mainstream branches of yoga are :
- Karma Yoga: Fulfillment of one’s duties & responsibilities.
- Bhakti Yoga: Compassion and loving kindness to all beings.
- Kriya Yoga: A conscious bodily movement performed with breath awareness.
- Gnana Yoga: The yoga of knowledge.
‘YOGA is being in UNION.‘
