Das Mahatyagi

Yoga is a very ancient system of
Hindu philosophy and means union, co-ordination, harmony, balancing of
mind, body and spirit.
Yogatherapy is the application of
yoga postures (asanas), pranayama and meditation techniques to help
alleviate certain health problems, which could be mechanical,
physiological or psychological in nature.
Therapeutically, Yoga and Yogatherapy
are beneficial for those who have been suffering from many types of
chronic or recurrent conditions. It is an important treatment method in
Ayurveda as it helps eliminate the aggravated ama (toxins) from the
system, balance the doshas and stimulate the essential biochemical
substances in the affected organs or systems.
