Knowing Understanding and Letting Go: Yoga is a systematic approach through which we can improve our physical and mental health. Amongst other benefits, it teaches us that by becoming aware of our breathing and focusing on it, we can gain control of our emotions and learn what they are telling us and by doing so, also improve our physical health. Emotional (and physical) health, however, depend also on the rational use of our brains. In other words, whether we are angry, depressed, calm, happy, etc., depends (given that we are all basically healthy) mostly on how we use our brain rather than on our particular circumstances. If we are thinking rationally, we can enjoy calm states of mind, or more easily achieve them if our thinking is rational. You alone decide what you are going to think, and therefore how you will feel about the various situations and people you encounter. Thinking rationally depends on, amongst other things, the techniques of "Knowing, Understanding and Letting 60" plus "Breath of Focus (relaxed awareness of our breath.)" You will learn these and various other relevant techniques on the course, and by applying them in your everyday life you will learn to create energy, calmness and relaxation for yourself, i.e. optimum physical and mental health. Controlled breathing, for example, calms the brain and improves our ability to think rationally. If we fail to control our breathing, our brain becomes over excited and fails to use the information available to it effectively. As a result we create emotional upset for ourselves and also tend to behave in an inappropriate way (i.e. in a way which is not in our best interests and which others may find unpleasant.) Knowing, Understanding and Letting Go plus Breath Awareness are - not really techniques but rather skills that you can inwardly develop through learning and then persistently practising until they become habitual ways of responding to the various incidents you encounter in daily life. However, please don't just take my word for it but come along to the course so that you can EXPERIENCE these benefits for yourself. It is only through DIRECT EXPERIENCE (under experienced tutors) that this can be attained. I am not going to give any fixed rules or methods which will absolutely guarantee that you can live a problem-free life, because there are NO SUCH RULES, only skills such as you will learn on the course. Once you learn these and begin to persistently apply them you will find that you can reduce or overcome problems, or at the very least, cope with them with minimum upset.
