The method of Yoga that is taught is Iyengar Yoga, as developed and taught by Shri Guruji, B.K.S. Iyengar, the world-famous Yoga Teacher. Guruji&#8217;s method is firmly based in the ancient Indian tradition of Yoga as defined in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.

Iyengar Yoga begins with physical awareness, but goes beyond to embrace emotional and spiritual growth. As students learn to extend consciousness to each part of their bodies, they experience a concentrated focus on the moment. In time, this concentrated focus (Pratyahara) becomes an integral part not just of a yoga practice, but of daily life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;\"><strong>Welcome to Save Ganga Movement<\/strong> &#8211; A Gandhian Non-violent Movement to Save the Ganga, symbolizing all rivers and water bodies and the Giriraj Himalayas, symbolizing all mountains, forests and wildlife.
