Based on the authentic Yoga tradition “Yoga in Daily Life” contains the pure essence of the original Yoga teachings and was developed by Paramhans Swami Maheshwaranand specifically to suit the modern mind and lifestyle.
This system of Yoga offers a simple means of relief from both physical and mental stress – guiding the way to a more peaceful state of mind. “Yoga in Daily Life” is not limited only to the physically fit, but can be practised by people of all ages and states of health.
The yoga exercises have a harmonising effect in equal measure on our body, mind and soul.
They balance through relaxation, gentle, conscious body movements with breathing and are therefore calming and regenerating at the same time. “Yoga in Daily Life” helps to manage everyday life and life situations in a relaxed and positive manner.
Many people suffer from nervousness, anxiety, stress, uneasiness, plaguing thoughts, sleep disorders and similar ailments. Here the relaxation that is practised at the beginning of each exercise course is especially helpful. The inability to relax may lead to diseases. The ability to release physical and mental tension allows us to acquire inner quiet, peace, harmony and a better quality of life.
“Yoga in Daily Life” begins with special and constitutive body exercises called "Sarva Hitta Asanas" – which lead to wholistic well being by balancing body, mind and soul. The performance of these exercises is both very simple and very effective.
They can be practised by people of all ages, and one needs neither to be athletic nor specially trained. In the process the movements are coordinated with the breathing, which has a very positive effect on the nervous system. The muscles and ligaments will be dilated, stretched and invigorated. The spinal column and joints will remain elastic and become flexible again.
With regular practicing once a week flexibility increases. With a more intensive weekly regimen one can even make faster progress. Body consciousness, flexibility and breathing will be improved. The power of concentration, inner balance and peace will also advance. The “Yoga in Daily Life” exercises have a preventive effect on high blood pressure, diabetes, back and joints disorders, and can alleviate existing ailments.
The breathing exercises play an important role in maintaining health and promote mental and physical relaxation. The breathing exercises give the body an opportunity to replenish its energy supply. Through the cleansing of respiratory tracts and blood, and increased oxygen absorption (energy input) we attain well being, mental balance and regain vitality and zest for life. This is why we regard the Yoga breathing exercise as the true “fountain of youth”.
Concentration and meditation exercises top off the exercise course. They help us to think positively and clearly, and to approach our true Self. In meditation we learn about our true Self and learn how we can attain inner and outer peace.
“Yoga in Daily Life” teaches us to experience each moment consciously, to enjoy each stage in our life and to lead a conscious, meaningful and healthy life.
