What is Yoga?
Yoga originated in India more than five thousand years ago. It involves practicing poses or 'asanas' as they are called, with proper breathing techniques. It is done on an empty stomach but can be practiced any time of the day. Yoga keeps both mind and body healthy. There are variations of this ancient practise like 'hatha' yoga, 'astanga' yoga, 'kundilini' yoga. Yoga is perfect to beat the stress of the daily grind.
Yoga is a discipline, an ancient philosophy, a synchronization of mind and body. Many diseases and conditions can be improved and even cured through its regular practice. Joint pains, back troubles, headaches and migraines, lack of energy, poor concentration etc. But people who suffer from diabetes, hypertension or cardiac problem must refrain from doing certain postures.

A spare room or better still if there is some open area like lawn or garden at hands, will work fine. Yoga is practiced by making poses using one's hands and feet. In fact the entire body is involved in every posture. This means you do not need any equipment or exercise machines. This implies that your start up cost would be nil.
You will have to buy some music with instrumental sounds or chants. Yoga is done on the floor so all one needs is a mat. Either you can buy some or ask our clients to bring one of their choice.
