Vivekananda Kendra Kanyakumari, Dakshin Prant, Karnataka Vibhag, Hebbal branch organized a Workshop on Alternative therapy, at the Kendra karyalaya on June 9, 2024.
The word ‘Yoga’ in Sanskrit is for yoke or union. The purpose of Yoga is to eventually dissolve separation and unify body, mind and spirit. Yoga has been an intrinsic part of the Indian ethos with Vedic roots. This ancient Indian physical, mental and spiritual practice aims to transform body and mind and brings thought and action together in harmony. Besides its spiritual purpose, Yoga serves as a therapeutic practice for treating diseases. Yoga therapy provides a holistic approach to health, addressing the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit.
During the workshop, an introduction to alternative therapies for Diabetes, Arthritis, Thyroid issues, and Back pain was provided. Trained karyakartas explained the benefits of Seed therapy, acupressure, yoga therapy, and mudras. 65 attendees participated and experienced the benefits firsthand.
