In this class, asanas (postures), pranayma (breathing exercises) and meditation are practiced. The asanas help you to keep your body flexible, healthy and strong and to strengthen your willpower. If your body is not well, your mind cannot rest. And with a restless mind, you cannot achieve a state of peace and stillness. The breathing exercises help you to improve your breathing, but also to balance the subtle energy (prana) in your body. The quality of your breathing has a direct influence on your mind. By practicing pranayama, you gain control over your breathing and, as a result, control over your mind. Mediation allows you to look inside yourself and observe what is going on in your mind. Only when you are aware of what thoughts or beliefs you have can you change them.
