On 7 January 2023, a Yoga Outreach for Health, Happiness and Harmony program was conducted in Singapore at Huone Clarke Quay, River Valley Road. Yoga is a gift to humanity that promotes life through the development of the positive qualities and expressions of body, mind and emotions.
Beginning the New Year with a yogic approach to life and a focus on developing health, happiness and harmony was the theme of the program. In this program participants learnt yogic techniques in simple capsule form to promote optimum health, develop internal happiness and experience emotional harmony. For physical health a daily capsule of asana and pre-pranayama techniques were presented along with practical tips on how to incorporate asana and pranayama into a daily routine. To develop immunity, increase lung capacity and improve the overall breathing process, the techniques from the Bihar School of Yoga Breathe For Healthy Lungs program were taught.
Happiness is an internal state of mind that is not dependent on external circumstances. To promote the experience and understanding of happiness, yoga nidra along with relaxation and mind management techniques were taught.
To develop emotional harmony participants learnt a meditation technique designed to help them disconnect from the experiences of physical and mental comfort or discomfort and instead connect to the source of luminosity and peace within.
When body, mind and emotions are optimized and harmonious, challenges can be faced and overcome with a positive mind and creative approach to life.
A question and answer session was also conducted at the conclusion of the program and participants were encouraged to use the capsule sadhanas given by Swami Niranjanananda as a way of incorporating yoga into daily life.
