LEARNING TO ACT, The mind can be your best friend or your worst enemy. By reacting emotionally to the day’s events, which most of us do, we use up vast amounts of energy and can create inner conflict. Raja Yoga helps you to discover and develop the neutral witness within yourself, giving you the choice as to whether or not to react to a situation or a remark. Your insight into your old patterns of action and reaction will grow, along with the sharpening of your awareness. This how to retain mental tranquility and emotional balance, which in turn will strengthen your power concentration and your willpower. In time you will develop more control of your mind and its fluctuations. During the classes emphasis is placed on the positive aspects of a situation, what you can do rather than what is not (yet) possible. Most of the time our attention is directed towards the external world. During the classes your attention is directed internally. You will begin to live more in the present rather than in the past or the future. Holistic Yoga is a part of the healthcare of the 21st century. In the same way that you need to brush your teeth regularly, to shower and to get enough food and sleep, you also need to maintain and look after your body and mind. “Yoga is not for obtaining mystical experiences, but rather to be able to function to your full potential and to realize your goals in life .’To live – laugh and love’”. ~ Paramhamsa Niranjanananda “My first and my last message to all is that yoga is not a religion, but it is a science – it is a science of the mind. Yoga is necessary if you wish to bring about a complete change in the personality and a reorientation in your way of life for the sake of the new generation. People should not regard yoga as mere physical exercise, but as a culture and way of life”. ~ Swami Satyananda |
HOLISTIC YOGA
Do you feel that you are living or just surviving? 
Holistic Yoga is a form of yoga that develops, unites, balances and transforms all aspects of the human personality, on all levels – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual – using Hatha, Raja and Mantra yogas to reflect the different aspects of your personality. The regular use of these yogas will develop a state of body and mind in which meditation could take place.
The postures are performed coordinating your action with your breathing and your focused awareness.
When you move consciously, completely focusing on both the physical action and the activity of the mind, as well as being aware of the flow of vital energy through the body that is caused by the action, the body’s metabolic functions are balanced and the different types of vital energy in the body are united.
By increasing your ability to focus, you also strengthen your willpower and are able to exert more mastery over your mind, helping you to realize your aims in life. You begin to take control of your life.
Weakness will be transformed into strength, tensions will relax and the body and mind will start to interact more harmoniously. You will learn how you can free your body and mind from tensions, developing greater mental freedom and space. 
By learning to breathe more fully and consciously, you will feel how the breath helps you to minimize physical and mental tensions, calming and freeing the breath which in turn releases energy, and brings back feeling in your body.
