“Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self.” – Bhagavad Gita
The epitome of noble thoughts and wisdom, Lord Buddha, once said that to keep the body in good health is a duty… otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear. And yoga is the befitting source to keep the body, mind and soul in unison.
