pranayama should be guided by a qualified teacher. We feel comfortable to guide you and prepare you for your practice in your day to day life. The regulated breathing purifies the mind and body and helps the mind to concentrate and prepare for meditation. Our daily morning pranayama practice is a combination of techniques that are simple and easy to understand, and we make sure to teach it to you in a step by step approach.
Vipassana meditation is a logical process of mental purification through self-observation. At times we all experience agitation, frustration and disharmony. Instead of taking 'our moods' out to the world, we simply listen to it as the silent observer. Step by step learning about our true nature, not getting upset, but deeply understanding it and bringing the right attitude to it. Understanding the role of our ego will lead us to see things as they really are, without taking them for 'to personal'. The highest goal of Vipassana is to be fully liberated from all mental defilement. Hari learned Vipassana meditation thoroughly at the Abhayagiri Monastery, where he spent one year in the forest as an Anagarika.
Asanas provide a gentle stretching that acts to lubricate the joints, muscles and ligaments, tendons, and other parts of the body. The inner organs will be well balanced. Asanas help to tone the nervous system, improve circulation, release tension increase flexibility, give us an overall well being and most important prepare us for pranayama and meditation. Practicing asanas regularly will help us to look at our habits and behavior patterns in a more healthy manner. For the yogi of the 21st century, a thorough understanding of complete relaxation is far more superior than an overly flexible body.
