Mangaluru: Avishkar Yoga centre is conducting an online workshop on May 8 and 9.
Marking the 10-year anniversary of the yoga centre online workshop will be conducted by a team of 15 yoga instructors led by Kushalappa Gowda, a research scholar in Yenepoya and professional yoga therapist.
Speaking to News Karnataka Kushalappa said, “We aim to accomplish the target of the Dasasahasra (10,000) Yogi’s Project, mass training of 10,000 individuals in one year. To achieve this, in the workshop people will be trained to do five asanas and pranayama practices. With the Covid spreading viciously, these practices will help people improve their pulmonary function and immunological response. The focus will be given to Jalanti Kriya, a purification technique focusing on nasal cavities. After short-term practical training, interested people further will be able to do it individually,” he informed.
Explaining the relevance of Yoga he said, “As per our breathing flow, our mind will become stable. There is no alternative to improve our lungs. Yogic practice is one of the best sources to improve our lungs. Those who do regular practice can improve lung capacity. Once they improve their lungs, naturally they can improve their immune systems also”, he added.
Highlighting the efforts of Yoga centre towards making society healthier during pandemic he said, “During these unprecedented circumstances, the centre has been conducting several awareness programs and courses regarding yogic practices. As people flock to different measures to improve their respiratory health, yoga has gained increased popularity during the pandemic. The centre has been carrying out its regular training with no hindrances and has received positive feedback. The centre conducts different programs of varying time periods like the one-month long Stress Management program. These modules are personalized for various target populations.”
“Avishkar Yoga has planned activities for the near future to create awareness including a yoga seminar, yoga competition for different age groups, and a special module for International yoga day, he added.
