Yoga for West Pokot

Yoga can be a great tool
in developing ones overall well-being.

The term Yoga means Union. Union with the Self Perfecting Force found within every human being. The perfection of the body is the fundamental perfection that everyone should strive towards, as this is the tool that we use for everything we do.

Perfection is the true aim of all cultures. If one is trying to perfect life, one must give the utmost importance to the physical part of it, for the body is the material basis; therefore, the body is the instrument that one has to use. Aligning the body towards its higher power and self-intelligence is the way to maintain a healthy and serene living.

Hatha Yoga is a branch of Yoga mainly concentrating on the mastery of the body. Hatha means force/energy. The body has its higher power that needs to be awakened to function through the human body to rejuvenate and correct itself. In the process, cleansing and healings happens to the body with the indwelling power of its native capabilities.

The practices involve the alignment of breath, body, and mind. Stretching the body to a particular posture and resonating with one's breath can remove unwanted energy blocks. These energy blocks are the cause that weakens the immune system and other autonomic biological functions. A smooth flow of Force/Energy creates balance in energy, which is much needed for emotional health.



Among the natural qualities and powers of the body, which can thus awaken through Yoga gives stability in all kinds of actions, combat diseases, power of endurance, an extraordinary energy response from the body that the external factors can demand.

There are many movements that the body needs that we are not allowing for its smooth operation. The systematic practice of Yoga allows all such activities to operate automatically and faultlessly. One must train this movement with a rhythm of breath, and Yoga is the tool. The structured combination of body postures and breathing develops structural changes in the brain that help process one's emotions, stress, and anxiety.

The body can reach its heights of power to bring Cosmic Energy into the body when balanced. Through proper body posture, one can open to the Cosmic Energy for every cell in the body to carry light, which is the best way to have a complete immune system against diseases. The body will reach its higher capabilities to repair the intrinsic matter, tissues, and muscles.

Yoga is a self-preparatory program to keep the body ready and fit at any time that can defend itself from an unknown or sudden outburst of diseases. Equipping the body towards its complete perfection and potentialities through a progressive physical discipline is Yoga. Therefore it is the way to live a happier and healthier life for every walk of life.
