Yoga For You!
Maharishi Yoga Asanas and comfortably paced walking help integrate the benefits from our daily meditation and stabilize them in activity. Standing or chair yoga may be a suitable option for those with physical limitations.
Q: What are the Maharishi Yoga exercises?
Maharishi Yoga Asanas are practiced easily, without straining and just to the best of your ability. These easy, natural postures help culture mind-body coordination and integration, greater flexibility, and strength. The practice of Maharishi Yoga Asanas also helps remove physical stresses and improve health overall. In the context of the Retreat, they complement your TM practice and contribute to a more settled and balanced state of mind and body.
The routine also includes pranayama, a simple breathing technique that settles the body and mind, contributing to a smoother, more refined experience during TM practice.
You”ll practice this on your own in your room or with a group on the Retreat. Chair yoga is available for those who don’t feel comfortable on the floor.
All course participants should learn the Maharishi Yoga Asanas prior to arrival. Additional instruction will be included on the Retreat, but you will gain the most value by getting familiar with them prior to the course. See the links below for a video tutorial and for free online classes.
