Yoga 
A way to physical and mental well-being
Sivananda Yoga
We teach classical yoga, which takes a 
holistic approach to strengthen and 
harmonise the body, the mind and the soul, 
so that we can achieve our goal of a healthy 
body, a balanced mind and inner peace.
Yoga helps remove inner obstacles and gives 
us the fortitude to stay cool, calm and 
collected when confronted with the everyday 
challenges of modern life.

The 5 points of 
yoga
Proper exercise (Asanas)
Yoga asanas enhance the flexibility of the joints, 
muscles, tendons and ligaments and stimulate 
circulation. Flexibility and strength of the spine 
keep the body youthful.
Proper diet (vegetarian)
A vegetarian diet is healthy, natural and simple to 
prepare. It is digestible and easy for the body to 
absorb. It consists in proper food choices which 
have the most positive effect on body and mind, at 
the same time causing the least harm to other 
living beings and the environment.
Proper breathing (Pranayama)
Yogic breathing connects the body to its battery, 
the solar plexus, which is an enormous storehouse 
of energy. Stress and depression can be overcome 
by breathing more deeply and with increased 
awareness.
Positive thinking and meditation (Vedanta and 
Dhyana)
Are the keys to peace of mind. By controlling the 
mind, we can eliminate negative thought patterns 
and experience inner peace.
Proper relaxation (Savasana)
If the body and mind are subjected to constant 
overload, their performance suffers. Yoga 
relaxation techniques not only help to relieve 
existing stress symptoms (like muscle tension and 
breathlessness) but also help develop resistance 
against external stress factors.

“Human beings are a complex mix of willing, 
feeling and thinking. A one-sided 
development is not advisable. Yoga should 
develop the whole person – the hand, heart 
and head.”
