    Dear Friends,

    On the eve of International Day of Yoga, we invite you to the session on Five Yogic Tools for Overall Wellbeing at INTACH.

    In this one-and-a-half-hour workshop, we would like to introduce the five components of Yoga in small 15-minute capsule forms. This programme is meant for people who are unable to find time to do Yoga in the morning. It will help them to use brief yogic tools which they can spread throughout the day and enjoy all the benefits of a yogic lifestyle.

    These components have been formulated by Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati for the overall health and wellbeing of the people in modern times.

    The five components:

    Postures
    For body alignment, flexibility and physical health

    Breathing Practice
    For detoxification and vital energy

    Yogic relaxation (Yoga Nidra)
    For relaxing brain centres

    Mantras
    For wellbeing and will power

    Meditation
    For creativity and intuitive wisdom
