Pranayama
An individual is stuck by many obstacles in their life. Some can be seen and so removed, but some are those which we are unable to see, and those are the problems in life. These are mental and emotional obstacles which are blocking your way. It is necessary to clear them as soon as possible so that we lead a happy and healthy life. Pranayama, the age-old practice, is the finest way to get yourself free from these hurdles. It releases the flow of prana or life energy. The regular practice of pranayama helps in changing your whole well-being.
Pranayama was discovered long ago from yogic practices in India. It is done by controlling the breath in various styles and lengths. Pranayama is the fourth limb of yoga. It is also believed that one can become able to control the mind with the practice of regulating the breath known as Pranayama.

Yoga Philosophy
This propagates the idea of yoga as a way of thinking that benefits from repetition. The yoga philosophy, or the way of thinking about yoga, helps you achieve harmony and tranquility in life and brings unending joy, physical and mental stability, and great thinking power. This course will help you understand the philosophy behind yoga.
The founder of yoga philosophy is Maharishi Patanjali. Yoga philosophy is one of the six theistic philosophies (Shad Darshanas). The first book of this philosophy is the Yoga Sutras. Seshwara Sankhya or Theistic Sankhya is another name for yoga philosophy because it accepts almost all the beliefs of Sankhya in relation to life and the world. Also, it accepts the existence of God. God is described in yoga philosophy as a special power that is unaffected by tribulation, karma, result, ideal culture, and so on. Its function is not to provide liberation but only to remove obstacles from the path of the seeker. The Bhagavad Gita is also called Yoga Shastra, i.e., the manual of yoga.

Alignment and Adjustment
While performing certain asanas, you might feel stress on your muscles. Don't worry if you feel this way because it is normal. Wear and tear on joints and muscles while getting into the practice of yoga is not big. No matter whether you're a beginner or experienced, you can experience some sudden or sharp pain in a particular pose. This can sometimes lead to injuries. Don't get scared! To avoid the risk of injuries and pain, alignment classes are practiced.
So exactly what is an alignment class? In an alignment class, you will learn the precise and ideal way to perform any given pose so that you can get maximum benefits from it and minimize the risk of injury. It normalizes the use of props and modifications during yoga asanas. When you get to know alignment, you can make any pose work for you.

Yoga Anatomy and Physiology
The anatomy and physiology of yoga are related to the medical benefits of this ancient art on the muscles, bones, and entire anatomy of the individual. The extraordinary yoga poses that are focused on the various life structures and restrictions of the body are considered here.
Anatomy is a branch of science dealing with the bodily structure of a living being. You will get a complete understanding of the inner structure and the movements associated with each pose. It revolves around the layers of the body, the mind, and the energies flowing in the body. In simple words, yoga anatomy teaches you everything in relation to body organs, tissues, muscles, and so on. Yoga physiology is the branch of science that explains how organisms work. It makes you understand the basic functioning of the cell and living beings at the molecular level. In simple words, physiology is about learning yoga asanas, breathing techniques, and more.

Yoga Nidra and Meditation
Meditation is an important part of yoga. It relaxes the entire body by calming the mind. You need to sharpen your skills in meditation. It helps to stay stress-free and acquire those skills to the best of one's capabilities.
You can help yourself eliminate stress from your life by practicing meditation regularly. In the present time, disorders of mental health like anxiety and depression are common. It then disturbs your daily routine. Meditation is not always about closing your eyes and focusing on a single point. It sometimes also includes listening to your breath or the sound of birds clearly while in the posture of dhyana or meditation, but when you do not experience anything else while in this posture, then you are in the right state of meditation.

Rice, lentils, beans, chickpeas, vegetables, and flatbreads are staples. Salad is always available too, along with dessert. All the food is satvik, cooked with love and care, in a hygienic manner, and with fresh produce from the local market.
The organizers consider yoga to be more than just a form of exercise for body and mind. It’s a complete framework for a joyful and healthy Life. Ayurveda, also systematized by sage Patanjali, who wrote the Yoga Sutras, is Yoga’s sister science, and the combination of both ensures a long life free of suffering.
The food we consume isn't just to maintain our physical health but also to maintain good mental and spiritual well-being. Food, in the Yogic system, is classified differently than by modern science. Instead of dividing and categorizing food into carbohydrates, proteins, etc., Yoga and Ayurveda classify foods as Satvic, Rajasic, and Tamasic.
Tamasic foods make us feel lazy. Rajasic food can make you active and cause tension, whereas sattvic foods make you feel energized, enthusiastic, yet light.
