One fine morning in early 2006 Bijaya learnt that a Swamijee of Munger would conduct a Yoga Camp for a fortnight in the town. With no second thought she went ahead and registered to participate. The insight she got from the Swamijee enlightened her consciences. Having no luxury of a Yoga center available that time in that town she resorted to practicing at home watching Swami Ramdevjee’s instructions in Astha TV. Consistency conceded the results, she got rid of most ailments in one year.

On relocation to Bangalore in 2007 Bijaya joined Yoga classe at Sri Aurovindo Meditation Centre, JP Nagar.

Consistent practice of Yoga helps you achieve the state of mental confidence as well as physical fitness.
