Yoga
is a highly condensed word as it carries a world of
meaning in it. Hatha Yoga, the physical part of it, is
only the beginning of the journey towards
self-realization. It is the beginning but a very
important step. This prepares your body and mind for
reaching higher altitude.
Thus Hatha Yoga is the gateway to discover the whole
treasure of Yoga and it is very important to begin
right. Great Ganga provides one of the best Yogacharyas
in Rishikesh who comes with training from the most
renowned Institutes in India and with loads of
experience. It is our honour to be able to do our bit in
maintaining our traditions passed on to us from sages of
lore.

Yoga is
based on a deep understanding of man and his position in
this world and was the first system evolved in the world
to recognize the connection and the interaction between
body and mind. It studies in depth the very structure of
the human personality, through analysis of the
psychological complexities and the course of human pain,
sorrow and suffering. It has laid down psychosomatic
means through its various psycho-physiological processes
for dealing with the Body-Mind complex and tries to
harmonies and integrate the human personality at all
levels and stages of life.
Yoga is basically a way of life which has been evolved
as a system to go beyond the personality complex and
achieve absolute freedom-liberation of the spirit from
the matter. |
