About

Once upon a time, there was a Sage called Patanjali. He found that there were many variations of yogic practices were prevalent at that time. This created confusion and the core essence of yoga got distorted.

Patanjali decided to codify the essential concepts of yoga into a book known as "Yoga Sutras" which basically contains information like: 

  1. What is yoga?
  2. Why Yoga and How it is going to benefit you? 
  3. How you can practice yoga?

But Wait...This book also explains:

  • The hidden hurdles to success - there are 5 impediments to your personal growth.
  • How to win friends by building integrity, trust, and a positive image.
  • Physical health is the foundation of developing your inner potential.

This is a Blog about Yoga and not about how to perform Yoga Poses!

First, you need to learn how to perform correct postures. There are the do's and don't of doing postures because not all yoga poses are suitable for different conditions (like people with blood pressure must avoid certain poses or do a modification of pose). This blog is not the right place to guide you in your yoga practice. There are lots of experts out there and they can help you properly perform yoga asanas that will benefit you.

Second, This blog uses the wisdom of the Yoga Sutras to guide your personal growth. Explore deeper yogic concepts for enhanced emotional intelligence, mindset, decision-making, and the art of living – all found in texts like the Bhagavad Gita and Yoga Sutras.


Learn about Human Behaviour and Mind

Within Yoga Sutras, you will find intricate details of how the human mind works, and what stops them from doing things essential for their personal growth. This ancient text also gives importance to your external world while trying to build your inner world.

Develop Habits and Emotional Intelligence

The Yoga Sutras, through its concept of Abhyasa (practice), emphasize the power of habit formation. This blog bridges the gap between ancient wisdom and modern concepts related to mindset and habit development. We'll show you how to cultivate positive habits without resorting to esoteric practices.

Personal Transformation: A Journey of Inner and Outer Growth

Let me share a story. There was a young executive named Joe who excelled at his job. His dedication, skills, and hard work made him an outstanding performer. Yet, something held him back—his lack of social engagement. He rarely interacted with others, and as a result, many people saw him as aloof, even arrogant. Joe’s technical skills were sharp, but his reputation for being unapproachable affected his career growth.  One day, Joe’s boss had a frank conversation with him: “You’re great at what you do, but people don’t know the real you. They think you’re distant. You’ve focused on your inner skills, but you also need to build relationships and communicate with others. Success requires not just inner growth, but outer transformation too.” This story reveals an essential truth: personal transformation isn’t just about honing internal qualities like skills and discipline. It also requires the development of outward qualities, like communication, empathy, and social engagement. Ashtang...
