Undisciplined life

Disconnected to body

Mood swings
This is the common complaint of most of the yoga beginners. Yoga nidra, shavaasana and alternate nostril-breathing are yogic techniques to balance the mind.

Mental and emotional strain are bane of modern life where social bonding is fading. Bodh meditation and Sivoham kriya controls mental and emotional strain.
Split personality
Yoga beginners remain divided or fragmented wearing many masks in a day. Object-based meditation brings your awareness inwards to realize your true nature.
