This Yog‐Pranayam practice was started more than 50 years ago for personal well‐being following Swami Sivananda’s Integral Yoga which included asanas, pranayam, meditation, sattvic diet, fasting, etc. During the last 10 or so years several components were added after attending training courses of Patanjali Yog Peeth and Art of Living. This includes nutrition, based on ever changing food dynamics. The Dhyaan with Girija sessions are run by a group of volunteers (Girija Waghray and participants from the class or invited guests who may substitute from time to time) referred to as DWG.

The main objective of this program is physical, mental and emotional well‐being of the participants, as well as spiritual growth. This program is free and there is no cost. Yog‐Pranayam is safe and beneficial, but like any other health and physical exercise program it needs to be practiced judiciously, correctly and cautiously, following instructions provided, as well as keeping in mind one’s own physical limitations based on age and medical history. If ever in doubt, we strongly urge that the participant seek advice from their
personal health care professional before participating in this program. No citing at the DWG sessions regarding any healthrelated/ medical/other information is intended to be a substitute for professional judgment of a qualified health‐care provider. Not all presentations at the DWG sessions may be suitable for everyone. If pain is experienced anytime during the practice of Yog‐Pranayam, the practice should be stopped immediately and a qualified health care professional should be consulted.

DWG assume no responsibility and will not be liable for any harm, injury, damage known or unknown or otherwise, that may result from any tort, negligence or from a breach of an express or implied warranty however caused or occurring during or after participation in the Yog‐Pranayam sessions or while practicing anything presented therein. By participating in the Yog‐Pranayam sessions the participant or the guardian who is responsible by law for the participant, hereby expressly and Willingly assumes all risks, full responsibility and liability for participating and practicing anything presented therein and forever waives and releases and agrees to defend, indemnify and hold DWG harmless from and against any and all injuries (including death), damages and any other claims or demands, liabilities and settlements
