Yoga heals the mind and the body, the feelings and emotions and the soul of our being if it is practised in a thorough deep focus of your full attention on movement, breath and awareness of mind.
Vanda Scaravelli taught a deep focus on the movement of the spine as given in her book, ‘Awakening the Spine’- this awakening penetrates through to the rest of the body so the change that it gives in posture, breathing and mind transforms the whole self.
