WGH Yoga: Where Inner Transformation Begins
WGH Yoga
At WGH we consider yoga and Ayurveda as the two
sides of the same coin because both these practices aim at the physical, mental and
spiritual well-being of the human society. Combining these two would be most ideal
preventive health care on earth. The practitioners of yoga believe that yoga leads
to the union of individual consciousness with universal consciousness.
History
Though yoga-like practices were mentioned in Rigveda and
Upanishads, it was in Katha Upanishad of the fifth century BCEthat the word
’yoga’was used in the present meaning of the word. Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the
most comprehensive text on Yoga, date to the early centuries CE. By the second half
of the first millennium CE, Yoga philosophy became one of the six orthodox darsanas
(philosophical schools) of Hinduism and between the ninth and 11th centuries Hatha
yoga texts began to emerge.
Benefits
Health benefits of yoga are numerous including controlling
obesity, helping to quit smoking, managing depression and anxiety, relieving body
pains, alleviating menopause symptoms, improving emotional health, supporting good
health habits, treating sleeplessness and reducing the symptoms of chronic diseases.
Universal Practice
At present, yoga is accepted universally as a practice that
can be followed by anyone and everyone and that it calms the mind and strengthens
the body. You don’t need to be a yogi or yogini to practice yoga and enjoy the
benefits from its regular practice. Young and old, men and women, rich and poor,
healthy and unhealthy people can practice some form of yoga exercises and reap the
results.
