About

Once upon a time, there was a Sage called Patanjali. He found that there were many variations of yogic practices were prevalent at that time. This created confusion and the core essence of yoga got distorted.

Patanjali decided to codify the essential concepts of yoga into a book known as "Yoga Sutras" which basically contains information like: 

  1. What is yoga?
  2. Why Yoga and How it is going to benefit you? 
  3. How you can practice yoga?

But Wait...This book also explains:

  • The hidden hurdles to success - there are 5 impediments to your personal growth.
  • How to win friends by building integrity, trust, and a positive image.
  • Physical health is the foundation of developing your inner potential.

This is a Blog about Yoga and not about how to perform Yoga Poses!

First, you need to learn how to perform correct postures. There are the do's and don't of doing postures because not all yoga poses are suitable for different conditions (like people with blood pressure must avoid certain poses or do a modification of pose). This blog is not the right place to guide you in your yoga practice. There are lots of experts out there and they can help you properly perform yoga asanas that will benefit you.

Second, This blog uses the wisdom of the Yoga Sutras to guide your personal growth. Explore deeper yogic concepts for enhanced emotional intelligence, mindset, decision-making, and the art of living – all found in texts like the Bhagavad Gita and Yoga Sutras.

The Yoga Sutras, through its concept of Abhyasa (practice), emphasize the power of habit formation. This blog bridges the gap between ancient wisdom and modern concepts related to mindset and habit development.
