Patanjali Yogpeeth (USA) Trust

Patanjali Yogpeeth's founder, Swami Ramdev Ji, advocates adopting five principles to attain good health and well-being, namely, Pranayam (breathing exercises), Yog Aasans (physical exercises), Ayurved, Acupressure, Naturopathy, and Balanced Living.

Swami Ramdev Ji, a world's leading yog master, established Patanjali Yogpeeth Foundation in the USA, with the specific aim of promoting the ancient Indian science of yog/pranayam and thus spreading its benefits as widely as possible in North America. Under Swami Ramdev Ji's guidance, the thousands who attend his yog camps and the millions who watch his daily televised broadcasts all over the world have been cured of various diseases and ailments and have gone on to lead healthier and more purposeful lives.

Yog is a complete philosophy of life based on scientific principles and it can be used effectively for Self Healing and Self Realization. Yog is not a mere exercise technique. Rather, it is a tool that unites our mind, body, and soul assisting one on a journey to reaching the profound state of Self Realization. It brings discipline in life and works upon our system rather than our symptoms. The therapeutic use of Yog is in removing toxins from the body and nourishing it with the support of right food.

The benefits of Yog can be divided into two parts: Physical and Spiritual. First, we bring the physical body in perfect shape by performing Yog Pranayam and Asans thus making the muscles flexible and getting more energy into the body. Second, through a regular practice of Yog, Ayurved, and having a balanced living a complete integration of body and mind is achieved, which helps improve the quality of life. Finally, we achieve complete physical, mental, and spiritual health and well-being by balancing reproductive, excretory, skeletal, circulatory, respiratory, nervous, and endocrinal systems
