Prana: Where wellness meets passion
The journey of Prana Wellness Center was quite an interesting one. The partners who co-founded Prana started off as student and instructor. The year was 2017 when Jane Alam Romel took yoga classes from Rumana Akter. As freeing as the classes were for them, soon they realised, they both share an incredible passion for yoga and wellness. After listing down all the possible pros and cons, they both finally decided to invest in a wellness centre with a vision to educate people on the benefits of yoga.

Tools for cultivating happiness: Yamas and Niyamas in yoga
The purpose of yoga is to achieve liberation from suffering through the realisation of our true nature. By practicing the eight limbs of yoga, we purify our conscience so we can perceive our inner divinity. Two of these eight limbs, the yamas and niyamas, are the social and personal ethics that form the foundation of a yogic lifestyle that enables us to advance along a spiritual path towards enlightenment. These are tools for cultivating happiness and self-confidence. When you come across an obstacle, a moment that tries your patience, a person that rubs you the wrong way, think of it as an opportunity to practice using these tools. This will help you put your spirituality into action.
Yoga and the nervous system
Yoga is relevant in our age. Far from being mystical and otherworldly, it is a teaching firmly grounded in the physiological realities of science. Our experience of the world depends entirely on the state of our nervous system. This, in turn, is influenced by a host of factors – genes, diet, environment, and lifestyle. If the nervous system is fresh and rested, the body is healthy and the mind is alert. As a result, our thoughts are powerful and clear, our actions, which are manifested thoughts, are successful and rewarding.

For this article, I am drawing from a fabulously accessible version translated by Alistair Shearer.
