The word 'Yoga' is derived from the Sanskrit root 'Yuj' meaning
'to join' or 'to unite' . Yoga is union of the mind , of the emotions
and of the body.
Yoga is an ancient art based on harmonizing a system of complete equilibrium of body , mind and spirit.
Holistic health is an approach to life, rather than focusing on illness or specific parts of the body, Holistic health approach considers the whole person and how he/she interact with their own environment. Holistic wellness is significant between physical and mental health.
Yoga is a holistic science , it seeks to build a lifestyle that values calmness, harmony and positive thinking. In many ways yoga helps towards the health and wellbeing of an individual
Yoga is India's invaluable gift to the world

Sunbathing is known in Greek as "ηλιοθεραπεία" (iliotherapy) which translates as "Sun therapy"
Animal-assisted therapy
What happens in a session will depend on you, the issues you’re bringing to therapy and the animal you’re working with.
Different animals can help in different ways. Your therapy might involve cats, dogs, chickens, guinea pigs, horses, pigs – or even fish or birds.
Sessions might include stroking, touching, watching, grooming or feeding the animal. You may walk with dogs, collect eggs from hens or cuddle an animal. To help you explore and understand the feelings coming out of your interaction with the animals.
