Sivananda Hatha Yoga
with Fred J. Marks
Open your heart and reveal the real You.
Your self-image, sense of higher energies,
well-being
and compassion for the human condition within yourself and others will blossom
like the lotus.
Namaste
This is a total healing approach to Yoga. It balances out one’s mental,
physical and spiritual condition.
Our physical body is meant to move and exercise. If our lifestyle does not
provide natural motion of muscles and joints, then disease and great discomfort
will ensue with time. Proper exercise should be pleasant to the practitioner
while beneficial to the body.
Yoga means union. Although many people think this term refers to union between
body and mind or body, mind and spirit, the traditional acceptance is union
between the Jivatman and Paramatman that is between one’s individual
consciousness and the Universal Consciousness.
Therefore Yoga refers to a certain state of consciousness as well as to methods
that help one reach the goal or state of union with the divine.
