CONNECT YOUR BODY AND MIND
AT CARNOUSTIE
If we know the divine art of concentration, if we know the divine art of meditation, if we know the divine art of contemplation, easily and consciously we can unite the inner world and the outer world.
- Sri Chinmoy
Meditation is the state of existing fully in the here and now. Naturally arriving at this stage through the practice of "one-pointedness", clears the cluttered mind of conflicting or random thoughts. This calm state promotes relaxation, builds internal energy or life force (qi, ki, prana, etc.) and helps develop compassion, love, patience, generosity and forgiveness. Its ultimate objective is to enable its practitioner to enjoy an indestructible sense of well-being while engaging in any life activity. Meditation takes you into the present moment, the only place where life exists. The way we breathe in and out; right now, right here!

YOGA FOR WEIGHT LOSS
The obesity issue is not about vanity alone; it is the issue of our health and our physical and emotional well-being. Billions of dollars are forked out across the world by people looking for a magical quick fix for their weight issues, yet the majority continue to struggle. Novelty fad diets and surgical procedures lead to fast - sometimes dramatic - weight loss, but only for the pounds to creep back on again because they don't address the underlying reasons why a person is overweight in the first place. "yoga is the union of body, mind and soul". Thus, it approaches the weight loss issue in a more holistic manner. If the mind is disturbed, it effects the body and vice versa. Regular practice of Yoga tends to have a positive impact on the brain function. It reduces the stress hormone- 'cortisol' levels and optimizes body functions and metabolism. Moreover, regular Yoga practice requires discipline, physical and mental strength and flexibility, all of which in turn make us more mindful of our mind and body balance, triggering a positive tone that helps us lose weight faster. Yoga transforms you from the inside out, pushing you to make positive lifestyle alterations and healthier food choices ensuing in weight loss.
YOGA FOR STRESS RELIEF
Stress is an inexorable fallout of today's fast paced life style and has become an integral part of our lives. We cannot wish it away. Acknowledging its presence and then finding w, and means to control and ultimately eradicate it, would be a more practical approach. Chronic stress can take a heavy toll on our health and well-being and hence cannot be ignored. Yoga with its 5,000-year-old legacy seeks to balance and integrate all the visible and invisible layers of our life so that our body, mind, soul, intellect and spirit flow in harmony. Yoga means union; the union of body, mind and soul. When this union is achieved, our outer and inner world .e in harmony and there is greater emotional stability and clarity of mind. It renews our mind and spirit and ourevery action is more thoughtful, calm and relaxed. The deep breathing techniques used in various yoga 'maims help in invoking the restorative functions of the body and reduce muscular and mental tension. It is now medically proven that Yoga practice reduces the levels of `cortisor - the stress hormone and help in combating stress and anxiety.
YOGA FOR SPINE CARE
A healthy spine is of paramount importance to live a healthy life. It governs all body movement, supports the head and protects the central nervous system housed within the spine which in turn controls the function of every single cell, tissue and organ in the body. In fact, the spine is like the trunk of a tree supporting the entire body structure. It is vital to preserve and maintain this trunk. Yoga has been proven to be very effective in the prevention and management of spinal and musculoskeletal disorders. Yoga helps tone, strengthen and build deep core muscles in the back and the abdomen which are vital components of the muscular network of the spine. They are essential for maintaining an upright posture and enabling trouble-free and easy movement. Another key component of spinal health is flexibility where Yoga works wonders. Yoga's gentle deliberate movements and postures promote blood circulation and flow to facilitate the healing and strengthening of the spine and stalling its age related degeneration. Yoga also helps by improving posture, postural awareness and improving alignment and may even reduce/slow degenerative disc disease in the spine, a condition thought to be the precursor of numerous back pain conditions.
