APEX Pyramid emphasises on the application of the principles of Yoga to achieve a life which is value based, free of contradictions and harmonious.
These days most people associate “Yoga” with Asanas [postures]. People think of Yoga as physical exercise that stretches the body, increases physical flexibility, and helps lose weight and get into better physical shape.
Yoga is much more than body postures. It is a way of life dedicated to creating a union between body, mind and spirit. The body and the mind are not two separate things. The body is a reflection of the mind. And if the mind is polluted, or filled with garbage, it reflects in every aspect of our life. Just getting into perfect physical shape of the body is of no use.
Yoga touches all aspects of our life as it can be practiced in everything we do. Yoga is about having balance and creating equanimity so as to live in peace, good health and harmony with the greater whole.
The principles of Yoga which can lead to a harmonious life were written down thousands of year ago by the Indian sage Patanjali in the Yoga Sutra. This text portrays the internal workings of the mind and describes Yoga as having Eight limbs. The name “Ashtanga Yoga” means “having eight limbs”. “Asana” is the third limb of Yoga.
