Yoga Philosophy and Psychology
Yoga is one of the six traditional schools in Indian philosophy, which has its roots in the more than 3000-year-old Vedic texts. It is a holistic system containing theory and practice that aims to support human development. By delving into yoga practices, everyone can promote their health and improve their quality of life; learn to consciously regulate one's vitality and the contents of one's mind. With practice, the individual can wake up to notice one's own "normal unconsciousness", a state in which automated operating patterns and the environment often dictate our choices and the direction of our lives. By learning to use our ability to consciously recognize and control our reactions, we can balance our lives, gain new strength and energy.
