Yoga and Meditation Tours To India

The Yoga was propounded by the ancient Indian sage Patanjali and is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘Yog’ which means ‘union,’ presumably union with the divine being or God. It is a secular and scientific methodology to experience the integration of the mind-body-spirit. Some of the most often practiced types of Yoga are: Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Tantric Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, Raja Yoga.

The yoga and meditation tour in India aims at offering an acquaintance to the tourists about the yoga centres in India and the teachings and training of Yoga at these centres like Madras (Chennai), Rishikesh, Kerala, and Bihar. Yoga tour at the Yoga centres in India detoxifies the body through purification of bowel, enemas, cleansing of the nasal passage and eyes.

The father of Yoga, Patanjali,described eight areas of Yoga and Yogic practices as follows; the natural regulation of the nervous system; discipline; cleansing; postures; concentration; the awakening of awareness; and state of perfect equilibrium. Yogic exercises have both preventive and curative value.

They bring man to the natural state of tranquility, which is equilibrium. Yogic practices help to bring natural order and balance to the neurohormones and the metabolism and improve the endocrine system and thus fortify one against stress. Yogic practices for the treatment of stress and stress-related disorders (such as hypertention, diabities, asthma and obesity) are remarkably effective.

Employing Ayurvrdic diagnosis and treatment, yogis deal effectively with these disorders. Ayurvrda indicates which type of yoga is suitable for different constitutions. Considered a prerequisite for spiritual health, meditation forms part and parcel of yogic practice. It is known to bring awareness, harmony and natural order to life. It awakens the intelligence to make life happy, peaceful and creative intelligence is the benediction of meditation.

Meditation results in increased relaxation, unlocking the storehouse of energy within the body. Meditation can be incorporated into any form of mind training that calms the body, increases awareness and creates greater focus for any action that is sincere, pure and heartfelt.
