It is not that the individual must accommodate himself or herself to yoga
But rather that yoga must be tailored to suit each individual.

Shri Krishnamacharya

Ayur Yoga

Ayur Yoga combines hatha yoga with the fundamental Principles of Ayurveda (science of life in harmony with nature). Ayur Yoga raises our awareness towards self, helping us to learn how we can adapt and tailor our yoga practice according to our individual needs.

Ayur yoga uses yoga postures, pranayama (breathing exercises), mantras, and mudras as therapeutic techniques, helping the individual to overcome physical, mental and spiritual bondages. It works at all levels of our beings (the five bodies or pancha kosha): Annamaya kosha (physical body), Pranamaya kosha (energy body), manomaya kosha (mental body), vijnamaya kosha (intellectual body), and annandamaya kosha (blissful body).

Ayur yoga removes the mala (impurity), ama (toxins), and viksepa (distraction of the mind) promoting absolute peace, health and happiness.

Tai Chi and Qi Gong (Chi Kung):

Both originate from Chinese ancient times. They both involve mild exercises, which reinforce endurance, tone up muscles and joints while energizing and balancing the mind.

Tai Chi is a series of choreographic actions, once memorized, they become natural movements. Qi Gong is based on repetitive movements, while remaining in one place, making it easy to follow. Tai Chi and Qi Gong both help fight the daily stresses such as; physical stress caused by driving in traffic, use of computers or simply by leading sedentary lives. They are also beneficial for mental stresses caused by overactive lives.

Little by little, through patience and repeated effort,
The mind will become stilled in the self.
