The two-day event was designed to have experiential yoga followed by touching upon the eight-fold path and a basic understanding of the ‘koshas’ with explanations of the body-mind connection.

Some of the concepts — how can one prevent and heal diseases is a question which all doctors deal with at every moment; scientific understanding of yoga and its actions can unlock the mysteries of the body; knowing oneself one knows the world — were highlighted during the programme .

The CRMS is a multi-speciality organisation with interest in all aspects of the health of mature women.
