• The Mind

Quality and success in life are determined by the state of our mind. Yet neither at home nor at school are we taught how to handle our negative emotions -anger, depression, stress. Under stress and pressure, the mind often vacillates between regretting the past and worrying about the future. This constant vacillation results in lower Performance, lack of concentration, decreased efficiency, and more interpersonal conflicts. The course empowers individuals to be more centered and focused, by providing them with powerful tools that enable them to function more fully in the present moment.

• The Breath

The breath has proven to be a powerful tool in effectively regulating the mind, and can be very effective in eliminating stresses and toxins from the system. It has a profound effect on how we feel emotionally and physically, and on the state of our mind.
The Yogic Science of Breath, a precise 5000+-year-old science of health promotion, states that up to 80% of the physical and emotional toxins in the body can be eliminated
Through the breath, yet most people use only 35% of their lung capacity. Skillful use of the breath can transform one’s mental and emotional state and significantly improve the Overall quality of life
