(Starts from 15th August, every two years) Our body has an immense inherent capacity to adapt to the changing environment. This can be wisely exploited and directed towards putting up an effective defense against physical and mental diseases.

Yogic therapy, on the other hand, believes in making the body healthy by putting up an effective resistance against the disease processes itself, in general, and specifically helps to set right various imbalances created by them. Chronic functional disorders, particularly, require the second type of treatment. A chronic disease signifies an inability on the part of the body to cope with the disturbing factors, or some internal maladjustment, due to inefficiency and lack of cooperation between the various organs of the body. Efficiency of organs and cooperation between them has to be achieved by training the organ and reestablishing proper coordination and harmony between the various parts of the body.
