WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?
We know and understand that yoga means union therefore it’s a oneness of body, mind, and soul. As great Yogis used to use certain breathing techniques as a medium to achieve this goal with time and practice, similarly in the modern world the goal might be the same but there are various challenges.
The most important challenge to walking on the yogic path and achieving its goals in the modern world is Vyadhi (disease) whether physical or mental. Till the time people are struggling and suffering from their own body and mind’s instability it’s very tough to maintain discipline.
Nowadays people don’t understand and consider their limitations, diseases, and illnesses and think that like people in old days used to get benefits and achievements from yoga and yogic life, similarly they will also get, however, it’s not easy because Vyadhi is restricting them from even living a healthy life.
Also, they try to find out all the solutions through yoga itself, and that also in 1 hour of practice 3 days a week or less. They don’t want to understand that Yoga is not meant for therapeutic purposes, all the health benefits are the by-products of the yogic lifestyle. Yoga is not an exercise program it should be one’s lifestyle and then only all the Siddhi/achievements can be achieved.
Therefore in Rehab Yoga, we are focusing on the foundation of life using yogic limbs as described by Maharishi Patanjali in Yoga Sutras. We are trying to overcome the limitations, instability, and restrictions which are holding a person back in a modern lifestyle from getting yogic benefits, and then with their own pace and practice, people will start getting into the path of real yoga.
In Rehab Yoga we are trying to give meaning and purpose to all the actions so that each step will be valuable and a stepping stone towards Samadhi/Enlightenment.
We need to first understand and listen to our own bodies before we can make conclusions about the external world. It’s time to get back to the basics, it’s time to get connected with the self, it’s time to be on the yogic path to achieve higher consciousness and all these will only happen when we will take accountability for ourselves and accept as it is.
