My cousin , Natasha, from London had been going through a very rough phase. At twenty five,  she couldn't come to terms with the fact that it was happening her- her  parents were getting divorced. To make matters worse , she herself was a psychologist and attended to many such cases day in and day out. However hailing from a loving family she could never come to terms with the fact that it would happen to her. To add to her woes, her parents had found separate partners and she couldn't live with her world being torn apart. Depression was an understatement . No one could reach  out to her and she wouldn't talk.


As she was with my family for a few days in Kolkata, we made a pleasure  trip to Nature Cure and Yoga Centre on the outskirts of the city.  It was here that Natasha actually began to heal, we could see it and feel it. By the end of two days spent there, she had made peace with herself and come to terms with the bitter reality - not that she could change it but how she could not let it take away her peace of mind. So what was it at Nature Cure that brought about the change in Natasha?  I wondered.


We were four brothers and sisters including her who had gone for the trip. We indulged in the various packs of treatment , like the mud pack, sauna bath and the very relaxing steam bath. As naturopathy addresses the vital forces of life, it removes the negative energy from congested areas, thereby facilitating smoother flow of positive energy.The next day, there was a choice between the gymnasium, yoga and meditation we opted for the later. Natasha realized the power of Sudarshan Kriya and fell in love it.


Besides the beautiful Radha Krishna Temple with hymns being chanted in the evening, and the serenity of the luxurious greenery all around made her feel cradled in the loving arms of nature.


As we returned home  Natasha, thanked me , saying “ Thanks Brother for the trip else I would never have realized why our eyes are in front of our heads - so that we can see where we are going and not be bothered by what is past !”

Glad I was that I could pass on at least this much of peace to person who had gone stone cold. Thanks to Nature Cure and Yoga Centre!

When we visit a doctor to cure ourselves of a disease, there are many different ways in which the doctor could help us deal with our condition. However, besides popping pills on a regular basis, there is nothing that works quite as well as regular exercise. Exercising is the best way to maintain a healthy body that keeps diseases and disorders at bay. There are a number of exercises that a person can do which may help in losing weight, increasing flexibility or simply in having a healthy heart. One exercise form that has nearly all of the effects mentioned above is yoga.

Benefits of yoga
There are numerous conditions that can be treated to a huge extent using yoga. Yoga is one such rare form of exercise that lays stress on not just flexing the muscles but starts right from the main activity that keeps us alive - breathing. There are ranges of breathing exercises that aim to not only calm a person down but also aims to increase the lung capacity or tidal volume of lungs. This is one of the first steps that are taught in yoga. The main factor that enables a person to work out properly is breathing and so, yoga stresses on breathing properly so that further exercises can be done easily and with peace of mind.

Besides breathing and lung related problems, yoga treatment also effectively treats many other conditions. One of the most common conditions that nearly every other person suffers from is back pain and joint pain. As we grow old, the lubrication between our joints begins to wear out resulting in pain and friction during simple movements. Yoga aims to treat this condition by slowly increasing the agility and flexibility of an individual without allowing him to strain his joints. Besides this, for people suffering from back pain, some simple exercises are advised so that they can easily move their backs without much pain. This is the reason why yoga is also favored by people suffering from arthritis.

There are many benefits of yoga and the ones listed above are just a few of them. Yoga is a wholesome activity that leads to not only weight loss and increased agility but also peace of mind, especially in these times when life in the fast lane takes the better of us. Thus, for people looking for a holistic exercise option, yoga is their best bet.
