For millines, the teaching of Yoga is perpetuated. Originally from India, it has gradually spread across borders and cultural barriers to the point of acquiring a high profile in the West. In a better known fact, Hatha Yoga is too often assimilated to a large audience as a simple relaxation practice or gentle gymnastics. Yet, Hatha Yoga speaks to the universal dimension of the human being. This course tested over the centuries, allows us to intervene safely in the physical and subtle plans by postures (âsana), breathing exercises (prânâyâma), concentrations (dhâranâ) and meditations (dhyâna). Hatha Yoga is an effective technique of maintenance, health but also and above all a powerful means of knowledge and personal research. |

Yoga practice benefits have been known for thousands of years. The practice of Hatha Yoga offers a variety of benefits depending on the postures, the intensity
(determined by ones conscience and not by sweat), as well as the time and the frequency spent on each posture. Modern scientists confirm these benefits in well-being
and health in general, and even as a therapy to address certain medical conditions.
The documented benefits from the practice of Hatha Yoga postures, breathing and meditation include:

One or many of these benefits may trigger you to start this practice, but the ultimate benefit of Yoga, which is Unity, or Integrity, is to stop the sense of separation
- between one self and others around, between one self and the world, and especially within our self - this seperation being the source of all the conflicts and illness.
