Yoga

"Yoga is like music: the rhythm of the body, the melody of the mind, and the harmony of the soul create the symphony of life."
~ B.K.S. Iyengar

Yoga

Yoga helps to bring the body, mind and spirit into balance and can be translated as "unity", "union" or "harmony". Although most people associate yoga with the practice of poses called "asanas", the Indian teachings include a number of mental and physical exercises such as asanas, pranayama (breathing exercises), kriyas (cleansing techniques) and meditation, among other things.

Any path to self-awareness can be called yoga. For this reason, there are several names for the different types of yoga or paths. The oldest records of yoga can be found in the Upanishads (around 600 B.C.). The most important textual source of yoga is the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali. The first four sutras constitute the core of yoga.

Yoga asanas should always encompass two qualities when they are performed: stability and well-being (sthira-sukham asanam - "The holding position should be firm and comfortable". Yoga sutra 2.46). Asanas aid not only physical flexibility and vital strength, but also encourage a better body control and state of being; they harmonize body and mind.

Yoga classes are currently not offered. Yoga is used at Naturheilpraxis LoDi therapeutically as an accompaniment to the treatment.

"So whether you do your first downward dog at 14 or 44, it’s not your history but your presence on your mat that counts."

"Meditation puts us in touch with what holds the world together at its core."
~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

"The beautiful, the true, the good: It is not outside, that is where the fool looks for it, it is in you, you bring it forth."
~ Friedrich von Schiller.
