3M magic of mindfulness

The program will take place on Saturday, November 29 and is offered at a special rate. For those who may wish to stay at Jetwing Ayurveda Pavilions while participating in the program, again special packaged rates are being made available.

The word yoga means "union" in Sanskrit, the language of ancient India where yoga originated. We can think of the union occurring between the mind, body and spirit.

What is commonly referred to as "yoga" can be more accurately described by the Sanskrit word "Asana", which refers to the practice of physical postures or poses.

Asana is only one of the eight "limbs" of yoga, the majority of which are more concerned with mental and spiritual well-being than physical activity. In the West, however, the words asana and yoga are often used interchangeably.
