What Swasthya means?

SWÁSTHYA YÔGA IS THE MOST INTEGRAL YÔGA THAT EXISTS

SwáSthya, in Sanskrit, the dead language of India, means self-dependence (swa = your own). Also, embedded in its meaning is health, sound state, comfort and satisfaction. In Hindi, the most widely spoken language of India, it merely means health. In this case, using the Hindi accent, it is pronounced “suasti.” Do not permit less informed individuals to confuse SwáSthya, Sanskrit, the ancient method, with SwáSthya (“suasti”), Hindi, because it would result in an equivocal interpretation with a therapeutic connotation. In reference to this, consult the Sanskrit-English Dictionary by Sir Monier-Williams, which is considered to be the most respected Sanskrit dictionary.
In India, in Jaipur, I ran into a health center that employs Yôga as a therapeutic method. It is called the SwáSthya Yôga Center (in this case, “Suasti” Yôga Center) and has nothing to do with SwáSthya Yôga. It was merely a Health Center that used Yôga! Things like this can confuse those who are less linguistically cultured.


THE FORMAL DEFINTION OF OUR YÔGA:

SwáSthya Yôga is the name of the systematization of the Ancient Yôga, Pre-Classic, the most complete Yôga in the world.
