Mysterious types of Himalayan Yoga:
The highest mountain range in the world, the Himalayas, is where this yoga was born. The Himalayan Yoga Schools base their teachings on the body, breathing, meditation and mudra. They aim to stimulate different nerves in the brain, ultimately changing the body and mind. It’s a school of absolute authority and conviction.
There are some strict rules specific to Himalayan Yoga. For example, when doing certain moves, you have to face a certain direction; you have to breathe in a certain way, etc. As everyone is different, the rules change for each individual.
How could you possibly miss the chance to learn more about your mind and body from the ultimate yoga enthusiast Aksharji who is the successor to the Himalayan Yoga School?
