Relaxation is a gift of Mother Nature for better health, vitality and inner peace

With Swami Ramapriyananda

In four units we combine some theory with a short asana sequence and deep guided relaxation. The session concludes with mental relaxation through easy meditations.

The five senses

We perceive the world around us through our five organs of perception which are sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell.

Without them we would not be aware of the physical world. Each of these senses is also related to one of the five elements: Ether, Air, Fire, Water and Earth. In this class we will explore how we can experience deeper levels of relaxation through conscious use of the senses.
