spectacular coastlines in Southeast Asia.

and create inner harmony, countering prevailing

trends in Western yoga, which can be more

competitive.

A common greeting at start or end of a

yoga class, Namaste literally means I

bow to you. It conveys the deeper

meaning behind most traditional yoga.

Combined with the gesture of hands

pressed together in front of the heart, it

recognizes a divine element in each of us,

centered in the heart chakra, and amounts

to one soul greeting the other.

Offered with a slight head bow, it helps the

individual surrender the mind to the heart.
