Exploring the Therapeutic effects of Yoga

Yoga has now gained immense popularity around the world but its also commonly misunderstood only as a form of physical exercise. The physical part of yoga known as ‘Asanas’ are just a preparatory step towards understanding the mind, emotions and our own self. In this Friday’s Gnana series, we explore the therapeutic benefits of the ancient science of Yoga with Swami Yogaratna Saraswati as she takes us on a journey on how she has used Yoga as a therapeutic means to help one connect with their self and deal with the ups and downs of life in a calmer and balanced way.
