Stretch well with yoga whilst in Bangalore

Does a nagging backpain creep up every time you spend long hours at the computer? Or, does the city air leave you wheezing and gasping for breath? Symptoms of a stressful and sedentary way of life, most of these ailments can be tackled if you bring about a tad bit of change to your lifestyle. This does not necessarily mean that you start training weights the first thing in the morning: light exercises like jogging, aerobics or swimming work just as well. But for specific health hassles the best way to rejuvenate yourself would be through yoga. And helping you do just that are scores of yoga centres and trainers all over the city.

Vivekananda Kendra helps you spike up your day with light asanas, surya namaskara and pranayama, based on Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Most of its centres across the city offer a relaxed ambience for workouts with natural lighting and good ventilation, so important for a yogasana kendra. The instructors are well qualified and handle all your queries with utmost care.

If you are serious about ushering in a new lifestyle regimen, enrol yourself at Bihar School of Yoga. Based on Ashtanga Yoga of Rishi Patanjali and techniques devised by Swami Satyananda Saraswati, this school of yoga is quite popular among working professionals, housewives and students. Instructors patiently hear out your problems and suggest asanas and postures to suit your body needs. Health therapies and counselling are added benefits offered by the centre. If you are keen to learn more on this ancient healing technique, you are welcome to browse through the huge collection at the library here.

Besides these two yoga schools, there are scores of yoga resorts within the city, such as, Nirguna Yoga Retreat (Kanakapura Road) and Shreyas (Nelamangala). Ayurvedic spas like Ayurvedagram Health Resort, Golden Palms Resorts & Spa, Angsana Oasis Spa & Resort, Soukya International Centre for Ayurveda & Yoga and Taj Kuteeram also offer yoga classes as part of their therapy programmes.
