Free Hand Exercise

Free Hand Exercise has a tonic effect on the muscles and internal organs. They tone up the circulatory system and are beneficial in safeguarding the general health of the body. Advanced freehand exercises shape and muscularize the body. As in these types of exercises, you need to pull or push your own body weight; therefore, the exercises are balance-based and outdoorsy. So, you get an opportunity to get out of the sedentary lifestyle and work out in the open. Experts believe that running, swimming, push-ups, crunches, etc are free hand exercises that improve wholesome fitness and confidence.

Yoga for all

Yoga is not a religion; it is a way of living that aims towards a healthy mind in a healthy body.

Man is a physical, mental and spiritual being; yoga helps promote a balanced development of all three. Other forms of physical exercises, like aerobics, assure only physical well-being. They have little to do with the development of the spiritual or astral body.

Yogic exercises recharge the body with cosmic energy and facilitate:
Attainment of perfect equilibrium and harmony
Promotes self-healing.
Removes negative blocks from the mind and toxins from the body
Enhances personal power
Yoga to live with greater awareness
Helps in attention, focus, and concentration, especially important for children
Reduces stress and tension in the physical body by activating the parasympathetic nervous system
Yoga for better relationships
The aspirant feels rejuvenated and energized. Thus, yoga bestows upon every aspirant the powers to control body and mind.
