Yogic Principles
Seeking harmony between the gut, body, mind and soul.
Deeply interconnected with the principles of wellbeing, the foundations of SANA reflect yogic teachings that promote clarity, inner strength, wisdom and balance.
Originating from ancient India, yoga is more than just a form of physical exercise - it is a holistic approach to health and well-being. The word "yoga" derives from the Sanskrit root "yuj," which means "to unite," symbolising the union of mind, body and spirit.
SANA seeks to incorporate the power of yogic teachings into daily nourishing rituals that invite you to connect with and honour your body, nurture your mind and uplift your spirit.
Asana
Physical Postures
Asanas are the physical postures practised in yoga. They are designed to improve mobility, build strength, enhance flexibility, promote balance and support postural alignment. Beyond physical benefits, asanas help prepare the body and mind for meditation by promoting stillness and ease.
Pranayama
Control of Breath
Pranayama involves techniques to control and regulate the breath. It is believed that by controlling the flow of breath, one can consciously observe the mind without attachment, letting thoughts come and go. Pranayama practices can reduce anxiety, increase energy levels and boost mood and overall well being.
Pratyahara
Withdrawal of the Senses
Pratyahara is the practice of withdrawing the senses from external distractions, enabling the observation of self, without judgement. It allows one to turn inward, listen, and create space for an inner-knowing to reveal itself.
