Selasa, 15 April 2025Mataram, Indonesia Every Saturday at 17:00 WITA, IAHN Gde Pudja Mataram hosts weekly yoga sessions led by Mahima Jaini, an experienced instructor from Dhyan Foundation, India. Open to both the academic community and the general public, these sessions offer a unique opportunity to explore the depths of ancient Vedic techniques for holistic well-being.

Participants are guided through this transformative process, ensuring a comprehensive and immersive experience rooted in authentic yogic traditions. Yoga is widely recognized for its numerous benefits, encompassing physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

It is also known to support cardiovascular health, regulate digestion, and promote overall bodily function. Mentally, yoga is a powerful tool for stress relief and relaxation. The breathwork techniques incorporated in Sanatana Kriya help to calm the nervous system, reducing anxiety and mental tension. Meditation, an integral part of this practice, aids in sharpening focus, improving emotional resilience, and fostering a sense of inner peace. Spiritually, yoga serves as a gateway to self-discovery and deeper awareness. The harmonious integration of movement, breath, and meditation cultivates mindfulness, allowing individuals to connect more profoundly with their inner selves. Through consistent practice, participants can experience enhanced self-discipline, emotional balance, and a heightened sense of purpose. Join us in this rejuvenating practice and reconnect with your inner self through the wisdom of Sanatana Kriya. Whether you are new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, this session is an opportunity to strengthen your body, calm your mind, and awaken your consciousness. Come experience the power of ancient Vedic teachings and embark on a journey toward balance and inner peace. By DKS (Tim Humas dan Protokol)
