YOGA TOURS
|
Yoga Means Union . Although many people think the term refers to union between body and mind or body , mind and spirit , the traditional acceptance is union between the Jivatman and Paramatman , that is, between one's individual consciousness and the Universal Consciousness.
Therefore Yoga refers to a certain state of consciousness as well as to methods that help one reach that goal or state of union with the divine. Yoga is also a discipline involving breathing techniques and postures called asanas (A - san - as) , a Sanskrit word that literally means, "to sit in a particular position."
We, at the Sloth Bear Foundation proudly announce , our association with “Upasana” founded by Sukumar Shetty and situated in the most beautiful part of South India , amidst bountiful shola forests and green mountains of the Western Ghats , one in eighteen biodiversity hotspots of the world. “Upasana” is an exclusive place for people who are looking for a peaceful break from the hectic life , in search of spiritual knowledge and Yoga. The ashram’s beautiful architecture and aesthetic presentation of pious themes create an atmosphere of true spiritual sublimity.
