PRACTICAL YOGA LESSONS
By Yogacharya Thomas Koovalloor, & Sicily Koovalloor, RN, MS, E-RYT-500, Indo-American Yoga Institute,LLC, New York. Yoga is receiving much attention all over the world for its potential in promoting physical, mental and moral well-being. Even though the origin of yoga is obscure, it is a cultural heritage of India, and it has a long tradition. In course of time various schools of yoga developed, advocating particular types of methodology including verities of systematized practices of yoga depending on their particular approach but leading to the common goal of highest integration and self-realization.In India the national Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) recommended the introduction of yoga in school education as a compulsory activity in order to help in the development of the ability to concentrate, self-discipline, strength, stamina and physical fitness in the school children. The main emphasis of NCERT'S approach was on physical fitness and emotional balance, rather than on the spiritual aspects of Yoga.The speciality of yoga is that yogasanas can be practiced in all schools, as the asanas do not require any equipment, or much space.
