What is Gyan Yoga?

Gyan Yoga is a series of poses practiced to increase range of motion in the joints and strengthen the body. Standing, seated and lying-down poses are practiced, giving balanced cardiovascular practice. It improves your respiratory system with ancient breathing techniques.

Kiss your stress goodbye!

Today, most people are aware of the positive effects of yoga.  Yoga is used to treat stress and depression. According to the great sage, Patanjali, "YOGA CHITTA VRITTI NIRODHA", meaning “yoga is to control thoughts, emotions and moods arising in our mind.” Maybe you have witnessed a negative thought or mood that creates tension in your body. Carrying frustration, pain or anger often results in stress and depression. In GYAN YOGA, we practice poses along with breathing exercises to release tension and stress. GYAN YOGA goes beyond the physical.

Strengthen your core and limbs.

While practicing yoga, students are taught to hold the body in certain positions called asanas or yoga poses. Both muscle contraction and extension are required to get in to the pose, to stay in the pose and to come out of the pose. We use our own body weight to strengthen our muscles. Learning to maintain a steady breath during practice oxygenates the body and makes us feel energetic.

Increase your flexibility.

Joint movement is necessary to walk, run, sit or do anything. Your range of joint motion determines the level of your flexibility, or how much your muscles can be stretched. In order to run, play sports or even for a general sense of well being in the body, a certain level of range of motion is required in the joints.

Enjoy a youthful spine.

Lower back and upper back pain is a common complaint, even in younger populations. Some of the more common back-related diseases are herniated discs, bulging discs causing nerve pain, sciatic pain and cervical/neck pain. The good news is that all of this disease and discomfort can be reversed with simple stretching and breathing exercises, and with the help of GYAN YOGA. We can help make your spine strong, flexible and youthful again.We are conducting our yoga classes at downtown, Toronto.
