The Yoga Tour takes you to Haridwar and Rishikesh, in the lap of Himalayas to participate in International Yoga Festival in Rishikesh. Yoga is a way of life and it is a perfect medium to achieve harmony of body, mind and soul. It helps you in attaining perfect blend of spiritual intelligence and physical fitness in your life. The philosophy of Yoga is complex and it has its own school of thought about The Universe, Humanity and civilization.
The main objective of Yoga is self-realization through inner knowledge and meditation. It is not only breathing techniques, various yoga asana or different body postures, but it is more deeply spiritually oriented. To realize our inner Self, we should put our body consciousness in the background, rise above the mind and experience the Divine reality directly within us. In today’s complex world, it has become more important and relevant for people to find balance, attain inner peace, well-being and calm in their life.
