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.

Rice, lentils, beans, chickpeas, vegetables and flatbreads are staples. Salad is always available too, along with dessert. All our food is satvik, cooked with love and care, in an 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.
