Youth Satva Yoga series is in pursuance of our mission to ensure ‘functional fitness and wellness’
or delay the ‘process of aging’
during the entire lifetime of an individual. Yoga is a means of achieving
perfect harmony between the mind and the body, in today’s scenario.
Yoga is a physical, mental and spiritual practice that originated in
ancient India and can be traced back to 2700 B.C. or earlier.
The word, yoga, comes from the Sanskrit yuj,
which means “to yoke” and "samadhi" or "concentration".
Thus, yoga is the practice that aims to join the mind, body and spirit. The
ultimate goal of yoga is to achieve liberation (moksha) or freedom (kaivalya)
in all walks of life. Yoga became popular in the West in the 20th century when the vast benefits of Yoga were confirmed by them.

Hanumanasana by Rajesh Bhalerao |
Hanumanasana stimulates both the muladhara (root) and svadhisthana (spleen or sacral)
chakras.
Opening the muladhara through Hanuman asana grounds the individual, providing the inner stability needed for personal growth.
The svadhisthana is the center of creativity, pleasure and enjoyment. Opening this chakra promotes focus, productivity and inner acceptance.
In the West, yoga is most often associated with the physical practice of
asanas, particularly stretching exercises to build flexibility and relax the
body. Yoga asanas can also build strength, coordination, balance and stamina.
However, this is only one aspect of yoga as asana practice is just one of the
"eight limbs" of yoga as listed in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, a key
sacred text on the philosophy of yoga. These eight limbs are:
Yama - Five abstentions (or outer observances)
Niyama - Five inner observances
Asana - Meaning “seat” and referring to the physical posture needed for
meditation
Pranayama - Controlled or suspended breath
Pratyahara - Withdrawal of the senses
Dharana - Single pointed concentration
Dhyana - Meditation
Samadhi - Liberation
There are many different paths of yoga, including Bhakti yoga, Karma
yoga and Jnana yoga, but all are rooted in the yamas and niyamas, and have the
same goal of samadhi.
Yoga is thought to be therapeutic for many physical and mental
conditions. Studies have been carried out demonstrating its effectiveness as a
treatment for back pain, stress and schizophrenia, to name a few. Today, Yoga is also practiced for abdominal fat or belly fat reduction, and the number of practitioners has grown exponentially.
