Inauguration Program, Flower Ceremony and Fire Ceremony as Emotional Purification
Havana, which is also known as Homam, Yagna, or Yagnya, The word derived from the Sanskrit root word hu, meaning "to offer" or "to present." Also, the word Yagna is derived from the Sanskrit verb yaj, which has a three-fold meaning of Devapujana or worship of deities, Swagatikarana or unity, and Daana or charity. A yagna is one of the oldest rituals in Sanatan Dharma for propitiating the deities. Yagna encompasses the qualities of Satkaar or welcoming a guest, Upkaar, or putting the needs of another over our own, and Sangathan, or unity.
Since it is all about giving, therefore people are advised to give with as much grace as they can, rather than a sense of obligation. Generally, the word is used in northern India, while HOMA is used in southern India regardless, the meaning is identical. It is an outer form of worship in which an altar is built, sacred fire is kindled using specific types of grass or wood; and then pouring into it oblations such as ghee or clarified butter, food, grains, and sesame seeds, while chanting mantras from the Vedas.
The chanting of mantras while performing Havana is to invoke gods and seek their blessings and favors. It is also done to ensure fulfillment of specific desires and the overall welfare of an individual, a group of people, the entire society, the entire country, or for that matter – the entire universe.

So, it is also a form of initiation into the holistic ambiance. Hatha yoga helps in the preparation for higher forms of yoga, like Ashtanga Vinyasa, which is more dynamic. Unless your body is fit enough, you cannot do such dynamic poses.

Yoga anatomy
An understanding of the human body and its internal organs is extremely important for a yoga practitioner. If you are teaching others, you need to be much more informed, so that you can gauge the abilities of your students, and also prevent injuries. After you get a detailed knowledge of the anatomical features of the human body, you can practice more effectively, and also modify the asanas to suit the different learners' needs.
Moreover, you need to know the different body parts, to be able to understand the comfort levels and the higher levels that you are trying to achieve.
Many students have injuries and want to make yoga part of their lives for healing. However, if you jumpstart with a difficult pose, it can do more harm than good. Thus, anatomical studies teach the location and significance of the organs, so that you can suggest them easier poses, from which they can always transition later on.

Mantra
Mantras are groups of syllables, complete words, or phrases. Most religious and spiritual practitioners believe them to have originated from Sanskrit. Om is believed to be the first sound that originated on earth and has divine connotations. It produces higher vibrations in the body and mind.
Mantras also serve an important role in Tantra. You can also term it as a mental vibration that helps to focus the thoughts and feelings, and the highest intention. With time, the mantras and their vibrations sink deeper into consciousness. You can practice mantra recitation to make your energies vibrate at a higher level.
Om is one of the sounds of the mantra that assumes a lot of significance. It releases subtle energies, that can aid your meditation and yoga practice. You can chant mantras at any time, and place. But they have the maximum significance when you chant them at the Brahma Muhurta. You will feel the vibrations emanating from the mantras, as you make them a part of your life.
The word "mantra" is derived from two words. The first word is "Manas" or "mind," which relates to the "man" syllable means "To think", and the second word is the suffix "Tra" which means instruments, tools, protect, or free from. Therefore, the word Mantra in its most literal sense means "to free from the mind Mantra is a tool used by the mind to be free from all kinds of distractions of the mind field.

Pranayama
Pranayama is mentioned in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, as the fourth limb. It is a science of breathwork. It includes controlling your breath in different ways and for varying lengths of time. Prana means ‘vital life force’ and Ayama means ‘expansion or extension or expanding the dimension of Prana. You can elevate the energies around you with the help of pranayama. It is an exercise for physical as well as mental health.
The main purpose of pranayama is to connect the body and the mind. When you slow down breathing patterns, you can also increase longevity. That is the reason why some animals live longer than humans. The core reason for existence is your breathing pattern.
Nadi Shodhana or Alternate Nostril Breathing is one of the most commonly taught pranayamas. You can make it a part of your life. It involves exhalation and inhalation, through one nostril at a time. When you retain the breath between each exhalation and inhalation, it can lead to the conservation of energy.
Likewise, you can also practice Anuloma Viloma. It is another variety that can give you the calmness you are looking for, in your life.
Pranayama is an integral part of yogic practices also mentioned in the eight limbs of Patanjali Yoga Sutras. Pranayama specifically focuses on increased efficiency and balancing the breath of an individual. Prana is the vital energy of the body and yama refers to the expansion and growth. There are many physiological and psychological benefits to doing pranayama practices daily.

Shatkarma
The Shatkarmas are also called Shatkriyas. It is a set of body purification techniques, with the help of which, you can cleanse your system internally. In order to move ahead in your yogic journey, you need to have a strong body, as it serves as the foundation for yoga sadhana.
Shatkarmas consist of six cleansing techniques, Basti, Nauli, Dhauti, Trataka, Neti, and Kapalbhati. Each of these kriyas targets specific organs in the alimentary canal. Apart from just strengthening the body, it also leads to the balance of the Tridoshas. It also helps in the flow of Prana through the Nadis.
Kapalbhati is not only a kriya, but it is also a pranayama. So, you get to indulge in two practices, rolled into one. It is a forceful breathing practice, that can aid in alleviating stress from your brain. You can also practice Neti, very easily. However, a guide will initiate the process, for you to feel comfortable later on.

Bandha
Bandha is a lock. You can lock yourself in certain postures, to increase energy flow to specific organs. You can also call it the energy lock.
There are four main bandhas, that the yogis practiced from early on. They include Mula, Uddiyana, Jalandhara, and Maha Bandha. The Maha bandha is a combination of the three bandhas. Moreover, it is the highest form of body lock. Practicing bandhas involves muscular contractions.
The Mula bandha is especially useful in awakening the Kundalini energy. The Uddiyana Bandha energizes the Heart Chakra and the abdominal organs. Likewise, the Jalandhara Bandha energizes the thyroid and parathyroid, along with respiratory organs. You can also practice the three together, starting from the throat.
Bandhas help to lock and release energies from various organs, and increase blood as well as energy flow. You also learn to observe the performance later.

Mudra (gesture)
A mudra is a gesture or seal in yoga. You may come across mudras in dance forms as well, however, they are much different. When you practice mudras, you can channel Prana through the body.
There are various kinds of mudras, like Hasta mudras, Kaya mudras, and Chitta Mudras. Hasta mudras are the most important in yoga practice. According to the science of Ayurveda, there are five elements of Mahabhutas. Fire, earth, air, water, and ether.
Each finger represents one maha bhuta. You can manipulate each element for the betterment of your body and health, and increase or decrease the flow of prana to specific body parts.
One of the most commonly used mudras is the Gyan mudra. You can practice it while performing the asanas. It helps in obtaining knowledge and greater wisdom from the universal body.
You can practice mudras anywhere while sitting in your home or workplace, so that is an added benefit of mudras. Get the maximum benefits today.

Your breath is the single-most thing, that can alleviate the mind, body, and soul. Moreover, mindfulness is the main modality, that can alleviate your symptoms.
When you move into the postures, you should ensure to think about your own self-respect and self-care. It is curiosity towards yourself, that can help you relax. Some of the easy poses, that you must practice today are Sukhasana, Uttanasana, and Tadasana, to name a few. These are very easy for one and all.
You can practice the asanas, after a few hours of having your food. When the stomach is full, your body’s energies are aligned toward the stomach. So, you will not be able to utilize them to their full strength.

Yoga philosophy
Along with the practical applications of yoga, you need to fall back at times, on the foundation of yoga. That is what yoga philosophy is all about. The main philosophy of yoga states that the minds, bodies, and souls are all one. You need to know about philosophical ideas, to be able to utilize the various practices under the umbrella of yoga.
In yoga, you cannot choose one or leave out another aspect. The entire practice has to be carried out in totality. Spiritual ignorance can only create suffering, and nothing more than that. So, you need to amass the wealth of knowledge that the philosophy of yoga offers.
You can call it the blueprint of your yogic practice. It enlists what you should follow, and what you should not. The main principle of yoga is that the mind, body, and soul are one. You cannot separate one from the other. It also allows the concept of God. It is amongst the six orthodox schools.
- Yoga Sutra – discipline, types of thoughts, God
- 7 Chakras – Muladhara, Swadhisthana, Manipur, Anahata, Visudha, Anjya, Sahasrara
- Three types of gunas – Satva, Rajas & Tamas
- Three types of body – Sthula, Sukhma & Karana

Why Yoga Therapy?
Yoga Therapy is one of the most unique ancient sciences, which affects the mind, body, and soul. Moreover, it merges the mind with the physical body. The name ‘Yoga’, is itself self-explanatory. It points towards the union of your inherent resources.
This is an alternative healing science, which does not see what religion you belong to, or what your gender is. Yoga is above all. It is about your spiritual consciousness.
In the olden times, most yogis performed the kriyas in seclusion. However, today, it is practiced in groups as well. Yoga therapy is not just about asanas. It is more than what you actually see on the surface.
The asanas just strengthen the body. When you are strong from the outside, you can delve within and hold on to the higher resources to unite with your spiritual consciousness. You will be able to learn, practice, as well as master yoga in its basic form, at the best yoga school in Rishikesh today.
Along with the poses, you will also learn about meditation, Pranayama, bandhas, mudras, and mantras. All this together completes the picture. At times, the asanas become non-relevant. You can get all the benefits of yoga, from practicing breathing techniques alone.
Ayurveda
Ayurveda is one of the ancient holistic sciences with the power to heal. It goes back to the pre-Vedic times. You can better describe it, as the ‘science of life’. It is the sister science of Yoga. It is the immense knowledge about the beings and their healing. And, you are practically applying that knowledge in the realm of yoga.
According to Ayurveda, each person is governed by the Mahabhutas, Gunas, and Doshas. The five elements also assume a lot of significance, in the Pancha Mahabhuta theory. The human beings as per Ayurveda, are believed to comprise of the doshas – Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Although, you will not find them in perfect balance.
Through the Avenue, you can strive for balance among these doshas. According to Ayurveda, if you ingest food according to the doshas, and your Gunas, you can become accomplished in no time. It is not just the accomplishment of physical health, but that of your mental and spiritual life.
Yoga and Ayurveda are intertwined with one another. In Ayurvedic treatment, herbs, and natural substances are used in conjunction with one another. The treatments mainly rely on medicated oils, blood purification techniques, and enemas. You can make it a part of your life, through the education at Hari Om Yoga Vidya School.

Alignment, correction, and adjustment
Alignment and adjustment are fundamental concepts in the practice of yoga, both for practitioners and instructors. Here's a breakdown of each:
What is alignment in yoga?
Alignment refers to the precise positioning of the body in Yoga poses (Asanas) to achieve optimal physical and energetic benefits while minimizing the risk of injury. It involves the correct placement of various body parts, such as the feet, legs, pelvis, spine, arms, and head, in relation to one another and to the ground.
Proper alignment ensures that the body is in a balanced and stable position, allowing for the efficient flow of energy (Prana) throughout the body. It also helps to create space within the joints, improve posture, enhance flexibility, and build strength. Alignment principles may vary depending on the specific Yoga style or tradition but generally emphasize alignment with the natural curves of the spine and engagement of relevant muscle groups.
What is adjustment in yoga?
Adjustment, also known as hands-on adjustment or assists, involves the gentle physical manipulation of a student's body by the instructor to help them refine their alignment, deepen their stretch, or experience a pose more fully. Adjustments can provide valuable feedback and support to students, helping them overcome physical limitations, release tension, and access deeper levels of awareness in their practice. Adjustments are typically performed with sensitivity and mindfulness, respecting the individual's body and boundaries.
They may include subtle corrections to alignment, gentle pressure to encourage relaxation or engagement, or supportive touch to guide the student into a safer or more effective expression of a pose.
