Yoga Trekking Tours (Trek Yoga)
The divine science of life, Yoga, revealed to the Adi Yogi and enlightened sages of Ancient India in meditation thousands of years ago. Stone seals found in Indus Valley which date back to around 3000 B.C. show yogic postures thus forming the earliest archaeological evidence of Yoga’s origin. The yogic postures resemble Lord Shiva and Parvathi performing various Aasanaas (postures) as well as practicing meditation. Yoga is also mentioned in Vedas, 5000 year old ancient scriptures of Hinduism.
The great saints of India, the Rishis, Maharishis were some of the daily practitioners of yoga.
The Upanishads and Puranas provide the main foundation of yoga.
Yoga in Sanskrit means “Yog” or to “unite” and indicates the total integration of the individual soul with the supreme or divine to obtain relief from pain and suffering. Maharishi Charaka or “Father of Ayurveda or Indian Medicine” wrote that yoga is the means of salvation “Moksha” which is the end of all miseries (Vedana). Yoga is an ancient form of physical movement that has its roots in Indian Culture and philosophy.
The recent scientific researchers have proved that yoga helps manage or control anxiety, arthritis, asthma, back pain, blood pressure, carpal tunnel syndrome, chronic fatigue, depression, diabetes, epilepsy, headaches, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, stress and other conditions and diseases. What's more, yoga:
· Improves muscle tone, flexibility, strength and stamina
· Reduces stress and tension
· Boosts self esteem
· Improves concentration and creativity
· Lowers fat
· Improves circulation
· Stimulates the immune system
· Creates sense of well-being and calm.

After much experimentation and exploration we have discovered a winning formular to integrate trekking with yoga. We provide a gentle trekking schedule, healthy vegetarian food, stretching exercises for tired muscles, pranayama exercises to ease breathing and time to relax, reflect and enjoy the location. The day starts with a short meditation and a gentle yoga session to awaken you the beauty that surrounds you and connects your senses with nature. We take time to stretch during the day to prevent muscle pain. We will halt and make stop overs during the trail to admire the beautiful surroundings and meditate on the sound of flowing river or simply get into a spiritual trance while gazing the magnificent yet beautiful mountain and pristine lake. In afternoons we will practice yoga nindra- or guided relaxation which allows us to integrate the day’s experiences and is deeply rejuvenating.
