Yoga for the Soul9 April

The participants of the Calcutta Yoga Festival 2011 raised the question of the balance between the body and the soul. The festival presented the four biggest yoga schools in India: Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute (Pune), The Yoga Institute (Mumbai), The Bihar School of Yoga and the Yoga Research and Rehabilitation Centre (Calcutta). The audience was not only shown postures for treatment of various diseases, and cleansing and breathing techniques, but also offered a discussion of philosophic questions related to consciousness (chitta), moral principles (nyama); principles of duty (dharma), knowledge (jnana), dispassion (vairagya) and prosperity (aishwarya).
