The simple answer is our lifestyle, where we move less and consume more.
Over the last 60-70 years, man’s dogged pursuit to make life easier has given rise to many lifestyle diseases — diabetes and blood pressure being the most common. So much so that to sustain our lives of ease and comfort, we have to fork out money to force ourselves to move and derive all the benefits of being active.
And in the pursuit of more — a better car, a better and larger house, a more exotic holiday, a meal at a top-notch restaurant, and so on — we put in longer hours of work. Is it any surprise then, that we see chronic musculoskeletal issues affecting people early in life? Back pain, tight shoulders, stiff neck, knee pain, etc. used to be what our grandparents moaned about. No longer.

For strong legs and healthy knees, remember: Ankles DON’T cross knees! Whether you’re doing lunges or squats, keep your ankle directly below your knee to avoid extra strain and potential long-term damage. Want to master perfect form?

Leave aside the physical, and mental issues that are also very common, stemming from stress, anxiety, and a feeling that however much we try, we will never be able to get everything done, and be everything to everybody.
Given the predicament we find ourselves in, the world has never needed yoga as much as we need it today. At Pratimoksha, when we say yoga, we mean authentic, holistic yoga that gives as much importance to mind management as physical postures.
Pratimoksha believes in an integrated approach toward holistic wellness through the optimum combination of Asanas, breathing exercises, diet management, and lifestyle changes. Yoga, for Pratimoksha, is not just exercises for weight loss, it’s way beyond this — it involves the integration of mind, body, and spirit.
The Pratimoksha approach
When you first contact Pratimoksha, you are invited for a free consultation with a senior Yoga Acharya (teacher). You are invited to share your health concerns, based on which the teacher will recommend a suitable course. Those with severe and chronic physical conditions are advised Yoga Therapy. These are one-on-one sessions during which the individual is shown strengthening exercises that alternate with deep therapeutic stretches to address their particular issue. Deep breathing and meditation can also be part of the session, with advice on diet and small lifestyle changes and home practice routines provided. The focus is thus on holistic wellness.
After 10 to 15 therapy sessions, based on an individual’s requirement, he or she is moved to a regular group class where having managed their condition, they can now take their practice to the next level.
Yoga Therapy is effective for several physical and mental health issues. These include knee, neck, back, and shoulder pain, arthritis, musculoskeletal problems, stress, anxiety, depression, post-natal depression obesity, and eating disorders. Lifestyle-induced diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure, insomnia, migraines, hormonal imbalances, etc. can also be very well-managed through Yoga.
