Meditation is a key element of many alternative therapies, often combined with prayer, music and mantra chanting. This is not a technique, but rather a way of life and ‘detached observation of the thought process’. It describes a state of consciousness when the mind is free of scattered thoughts and various patterns. The observer (one who is doing meditation) realises that all the activity of the mind is reduced to one, and that true peace is only found within.

Ashtanga Yoga -- the feature that distinguishes Ashtanga Yoga from the other forms of yoga is its unique movement and breathing system, or Vinyasa. Movement through the sequence of poses (Asanas) is responsible for producing heat, which, in turn, produces sweat that is both cleansing and purifying. As students progress more deeply into the practice, toxins held in the deeper layers of muscle tissue and internal organs are also released. The power of the breath is the key to this system of yoga. It draws the mind in on itself and, in so doing, yokes mind and body together. It is the breath, the energy centres (Bandhas) and the eye focus (Dristi) that, when applied together, bring about the physical and the meditative aspects of Ashtanga Yoga. The practice itself becomes a dynamic meditation. Hatha Yoga is the most popular branch of yoga and from which a lot of the styles of yoga originated. Yogis use physical poses, breathing techniques and meditation in order to bring the body into perfect health and for more spiritual elements of the mind to emerge freely. The meditative aspects of yoga can also help to develop your willpower, concentration and self-withdrawal. Hatha Yoga practice is a splendid way to cope with stress, relieve tension and promote positive moods. Vinyasa Flow -- Vinyasa means linking movements. Vinyasa Flow Yoga is derived from Ashtanga Yoga, whereby the set sequence from the Ashtanga Yoga system has been ‘dissected’ to assemble a more freeform, creative approach. A typical Vinyasa Flow class begins with the Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutations) and continues with a variety of poses through the flowing movements of Vinyasa. Each pose will lead to the next like a continuous dance. It is advisable to be somewhat familiar with some basic yoga poses before trying Vinyasa Flow Yoga, as the pace will be quite fast. Although not essential, some basic Ashtanga Yoga experience will also be helpful. This style of Yoga is suitable for those who already have some previous experience in Yoga and are looking for a more dynamic, fun and challenging practice.
