Brought to the west by Yogi Bhajan, it is a complete, harmonious and powerful discipline, born out of an ancient wisdom. It includes breathing techniques (pranayama), dynamic exercises combined with breathing and mantras, static or dynamic postures (asana), sound& chanting(mantra) meditation and relaxation.
The deep balancing and strengthening effect on the endocrine and nervous systems reduces stress and anxiety, gives the mind clarity and readiness, and makes the body healthy and strong.

It is said to be the Yoga of awareness, it guides you to get in touch with your infinity, your inherent inner wisdom, and to open up to the dimension of the full expression of your true potential.
“Yoga has never been truly described for what it is. It is an art and a science with which you can leap over the pitfalls of life. It is a science, and knowledge, and art, where mind and body can work in union and spirit will back it up.” Yogi Bhajan
Meditation is the process to transcend the waves of the mind. It is the art of breaking through the habits and the patterns of behaviour, of purifying the mind and the subconscious. Meditating is exploring the contact with our most intimate Self, reaching the central core of our existence where the truth is the only identity and breathes through us.
Meditating gives a sense of peace, well being and stability; it develops intuition; removes fears and unconscious habits; enhances the ability to concentrate and promotes efficiency; develops mental clarity, awareness and the capacity to stay in the present; deeply uproots stress from its origin.
“Meditation is not stopping the mind. It is surrendering the mind to the Soul, and the Soul to the Truth. It is when you prefer the word of Truth to the word of your intellect.” Yogi Bhajan.
