For centuries, Indian culture has embraced the transformative power of yoga and mindfulness. Contrary to modern thought, yoga is not just about physical exercise. It encompasses much more. It includes four paths: jnana yoga (knowledge), bhakti yoga (universal love), karma yoga (selfless action) and hatha yoga (postures and breath control). Yoga is your ultimate gateway to Enlightenment, which is 100% mindfulness! Join Mrs. Jaya Row as she takes you on a journey through the fascinating science behind these ancient practices.
