Common Questions

Do We Need to Be Flexible to Do Yoga?

Starting Where You Are: Flexibility is not a prerequisite for practicing yoga. Yoga is about meeting yourself where you are and progressing at your own pace. It’s not about touching your toes but what you learn on the way down.
Progressive Improvement: Flexibility improves over time with consistent practice. Yoga includes gentle stretches and postures that gradually increase your range of motion.
Holistic Benefits: Beyond physical flexibility, yoga enhances mental flexibility, allowing you to adapt more easily to life’s challenges. The focus is on overall well-being rather than just physical agility.

Will yoga help in loosing weight?

Comprehensive Approach: Yoga can be an effective tool for weight management. It combines physical activity with mindfulness, leading to healthier lifestyle choices.
Increased Metabolism: Dynamic styles of yoga, such as Vinyasa and Ashtanga, can boost your metabolism and build muscle, both of which contribute to weight loss.
Stress Reduction: Yoga reduces stress, which can be a significant factor in weight gain. Lower stress levels help reduce emotional eating and cravings.
Mindful Eating: Practicing yoga increases mindfulness, including awareness of your body’s hunger and satiety cues. This leads to more conscious eating habits and better food choices.
Sustainable Results: Unlike quick fixes, yoga promotes sustainable, long-term weight loss by fostering a balanced lifestyle that includes regular physical activity, healthy eating, and mental well-being.

Immersive Experience: Living in an ashram provides a unique opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the yogic lifestyle. This environment supports deep learning and personal growth.

Expect a curriculum designed to harmonize these paths, empowering you to embody yoga on and off the mat, fostering personal growth, and nurturing a profound connection to yourself and the world around you.
Throughout the course, you’ll engage in a dynamic blend of traditional Hatha Yoga practices, including asana, pranayama, meditation, and mantra chanting, interwoven with teachings on Karma, Bhakti, Raja, and Gyana Yoga.
