Parivritta Janu Shirshasana

Revolved head-to-knee-position with aesthetically harmonious shaping of the body

Raja Yoga, the royal path of mind control, is the most comprehensive and scientific approach to self-realization. The instructions and teachings of this ancient science were first compiled and explained by Patanjali Maharishi, the greatest psychologist of all time. Never has the mind of man been so fully analyzed like here. Never has a process to eradicate human suffering and weakness been so well presented. The methods of Raja Yoga are perfect, timeless. Although of ancient origin, they are still the most useful technique available to modern man, who is beset by the immense pressure and strain of competitive society.
