Origin
SAVY Healing Yoga, which has very deep roots in India, has been created by me after almost three decades of study of Modern Medicine, all aspects of Yoga and Alternative Medicine. Along with being a practicing Surgeon in India, I have been practicing and teaching Yoga and Yoga Therapy, and Alternative Medicine, for the last almost three decades. Having worked in Neurosurgery and Surgical Oncology, other super-specialities and Surgery in general, gave me a deep insight and a deeper understanding into the working of human body, psyche’ and consciousness and studying yoga gave me a chance to delve deeper into and put the very deep neurophysiological concepts of the science of yoga in the right perspective. I understand it more with each passing moment! In my experience, if practised with proper understanding, it’s the most dynamic science I’ve come across, and the most practical as well, with unlimited potential and immense possibilities. I attempted to give a practical shape to these living, thriving and healing concepts of yoga in the form of SAVY Healing Yoga where we address wellness of the physical body through asanas and pranayama and the mental and spiritual body through pranayama and more advanced concepts of yoga. This is the future of health, wellness and therapeutic sciences brought to you today!
Benefits
The primary benefits of SAVY Healing Yoga are the complete healing of the mind and the body that it provides. It helps you achieve optimum health in every single dimension, and maintain it. It can be particularly effective for people who are looking to reduce stress and fatigue, and those who are trying to find means to address various health problems. It helps people recover more quickly from injury and illness, physical, mental or psychological.
It teaches how to control activation of the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems. With regular practice, this allows progressively increasing control of the normal nervous system. The muscles become more relaxed, blood pressure settles down, stress and anxiety disappear, immune system recovers and starts healing the body from inside, mind becomes more calm, outlook becomes more positive, you start seeing solutions to problems which seem to appear out of nowhere, focus improves and consciousness expands. That makes you more complete as a person. The more a person practices SAVY Healing yoga, the less susceptible the body will be to illnesses- psychosomatic or otherwise. It’s a great instrument to help a person achieve optimum health.
We teach you to use your body and mind as props – the best props that there can be! That is what yoga is all about – it makes you aware of the greatness of what you already possess, and learn to use your physical and mental assets to improve further. We don’t advise or encourage any external props in any form or shape. You are a self-sufficient entity, an example of perfection of God’s creations. You are your best prop! We teach you to awaken your own inner powers.
