Detailed Trip Description

Rishikesh – the mecca of Yoga and Meditation. The path of Yoga and meditation – an ancient Indian science & culture, a gradual, systematic, and scientific way to release tension in day to day life, different methods to overcome stress and a perfect way to live. Today we live in a very stressful world with all economic uncertainties, high pressured competitiveness, and social complexities. All these factors affect our mind, leading to emotional imbalance, confusion, depression, and lack of proper sleep. We have high rates of suicide, mental illness, and other such problems. These emotional disbalances are often caused by the over or under secretion of glands which have tremendous effects on our body and mind. Hath yoga helps to improve the intake of oxygen and capacity of lungs, release muscular tension, de-toxify the body and internal organs, stimulate glands, balance the quantity of horomones in blood, channelize the emotions, revitalise the nervous system, and calm the mind. Performing breathing asanas properly and systematically gives subtle pressure on various glands, restores the proper secretion of hormones and give emotional balances, will power, confidence, peace of mind, and promotes a healthy body.
