Spirituality, knowledge, peace and harmony were in the air at the Oakleigh Hall in Melbourne on August 29 at the 3rd Annual Yoga Workshop organised by Vasudeva Kriya Yoga under the able guidance of Shri Rajendra Yenkannamoole. Shri Rajendra Yenkannamoole, the founder of Vasudeva Kriya Yoga, has deep and fervent passion for Yoga and currently runs five centres in Melbourne and one in Bangalore.

The highly successful event themed Yoga for Health, Harmony and Self Realisation focussed on bringing awareness about the traditional practices and interpretation of yoga in the modern community. This remarkably relevant and significant one day intensive workshop sought to generate a powerful experience of yoga in its most complete sense with the objective of finding ways to energise, harmonise and de-stress the human system and unveil the Self with the powerful practice sequences of asana, pranayama and meditation. It also focussed on learning simple but powerful techniques which could be incorporated into home practice of yoga, mastering the delicate art of self enquiry and imbibing the often neglected rules for social and personal conduct which form the foundation of yoga - the yamas and the niyamas Meeting up with other people on the yoga path was another focus.
