ADVANCED ASANAS

Yoga Mandarin offers Master Classes in advanced asana for long time students of yoga. These group classes are offered once a week, and are designed to focus on specific asana goals and the process of preparing to reach these goals. Those who wish to enrol for these classes, are required to first undergo a preliminary fitness assessment done by one of the therapy consultants to assess the students, health status, flexibility, strength and stamina. We also offer a unique asana based fitness programme called, “fitness 100” which as the name implies, offers an intensive yoga practice session for 100 minutes. These classes are also offered once a week.

HOW DO WE ACHIEVE THAT?.

MEANING, PROPERTIES & FUNCTIONS OF MIND

It is very difficult to understand the nature of the mind because it has no physical existence. It is very subtle as well as hidden. But the existence of the mind can't be denied, as many of our problems physical, mental and psychological are the outcome of our mental condition. Mind exists in the body but it is distinct from the body and organs. Mind is also distinct from the spiritual self, 'the Knower' as he just observes the mind and its functions. The Knower perceives the external objects through sense organs but with the help of the mind. Perception of any event is not possible without the presence of mind. So in every event of perception there is an external object, an organ of perception (ears, eyes, nose tongue or skin) and there is mind and the 'Knower' or 'self'. All these are connected very closely, inseparable but still distinct from each other.

The mind can multiply or divide the strength of the Body. The person can't work if he is mentally not prepared for the work but a person can work with extra energy if he has mentally decided to work.
