Yoga

Yoga, the spiritual branch of Ayurveda is derived from the word YOGAM or UNION, relating to the union of body and mind. It is based on the ancient Indian culture aimed at maintaining the body and mind in a healthy and relaxed state. Yoga focuses on the body, mind spirit of a man and imbibes certain principles, values and a way of life for personal and social well being.

The life style regimens mentioned in Yoga are integral to Ayurvedic treatments. Meditation is practiced to maintain balance or peace in the thinking process. Meditation removes any disturbances in the balance of the three mental states of SATTVA, RAJAS & THAMAS. The PRANAYAMAS and SO HUM meditation practiced at MITRA complements the cleansing process and gives a light feeling on the mind and body by giving more PRANA or life force energy.
