It was great to see all the senior executives coming in great numbers to allend the program. A mix of gentle asanas, pranayamas(breathing practices) and yoganidra(relaxation technique) were given to them everyday. Most of them are regular visitor to different programs, so it was easy for them to follow the movements, breathing and proper relaxation, inspired me to add few more practices to their daily schedule.
There was overall feeling of joy and happiness in the end amongst the participants after five days of regular practice; they looked refreshed, energized and relaxed.
There was a short question-answer at the end of the session, regarding different ailments and respected practices for each one of them, structuring of the practices and even general contraindication of some of the pranayamas.
