health challenges; going back to our ancient wisdom is
the obvious solution.

applications as an alternative medicine for both curative
& rehabilitative purposes. Western countries have
adopted these techniques with great interest. We need
to adopt these invaluable tools which are essentially of
Indian origin.
•Yoga & Pranayam are time-tested techniques to attain
and maintain perfect health as defined by WHO. Every
participant, irrespective of familiarity with these
techniques can benefit from them.
