The National Yoga Camp is a project organised and sponsored by the Malaysian Yoga Society (MYS) in collaboration with the Malaysian Association of Yoga Instructors (MAYI).
The objective of Yoga Camp is to bring greater awareness about the deep realities of Yoga and its benefits to school students; to teach simple and effective asanas, breathing techniques for steady mind, increased energy and inner peace, inspiring them to understand themselves and their surroundings better for a meaningful existence, and, to lead a calm, caring and successful life based on powerful yogic techniques.
Understanding the Yama (restraints) and Niyama (observances) values, for example, which are the first two steps in the eight limbs of yoga, will help students learn how to respect oneself and others, live in harmony, differentiate between good and bad company, prevent them from succumbing to negative influences, pick up commendable, healthy and progressive habits, and be responsible individuals with rational, motivated and forward thinking skills. The camp’s yoga-related personality development programmes, will have far reaching benefits on the student’s inner and outer development, and give a great boost to their self-esteem and self-confidence.

I would like to thank Master Manisekaran and his excellent team for organising this wonderful and motivating camp in December 2013.
At first I thought this Yoga camp was just another ordinary camp where they have all the normal camping activities, but when I attended this camp in 2013, I learnt many new asanas (poses) and other yoga-related activities. We did exercises for the eye (tratak). This exercise actually brought my eye sight power down from 350 to 75. I have no words to say. I did this exercise for 4-6 months 10 minutes everyday. I really would like to attend any yoga functions organised by Malaysian Yoga Society. Master Manisekaran is very calmn and is ever so patient in handling the many issues of the teenagers.
We were taught to treat other people as if they were our own brothers and sisters. I was a person who was easily influenced by others and after I attended this course I learnt to be more confident and build my leadership attitude. Join the camp and let miracles take place in you.
Namaskar. – Aravind Moghan

Hello, I am Harsvini Loganathan, 19, from Batu Caves, Selangor pursuing my undergraduate studies at the Help University. I am writing about the changes I have seen in myself after participating in the National Yoga Camp organized by Malaysian Yoga Society. Well, to make a long story short the major changes I have seen in myself is from the health aspect. I had a very severe and chronic sinus problem plus I have a very mild pneumonia where the chances of getting an asthma was very thin for me. In the yoga camp, few trained and well-experienced Yoga Instructors taught me few Ayurvedic methods to reduce the sinusitis without any scientific medications. The first method was “Jala Neti”. It is actually a very effective practice which shows vast difference after practicing it like a month. The “Jala Neti” actually clears any blockages from the nostrils and allows you to experience clean fresh air. The next method was “Kunjal”. This practice actually a very easy ready-at-home detox practice.
Practicing “Kunjal” three times a week gives a clear complexion of the skin, removes all the biles and unwanted acids from your body just with 1.5 litres of luke warm salt water.
Other than health, the National Yoga Camp also helped me a lot to get through my tough times when my emotional was unstable. Lots of body and mind relaxation techniques were taught in the camp. One of the best technique that I prefer personally is “Yoga Nidra”. “Yoga Nidra” is a very powerful mind relaxation technique where 15 minutes of this is actually equivalent to 2 hours of nap. Well those were the wonderful experience and changes that I have seen in myself after participating in this National Yoga Camp. I will keep contributing for this camp and I can’t wait to join the camp again this year. Thank you!

My heartiest gratitude to Master Manisekaran and his superb team, for organising such an excellent camp in December 2012.
When I observed Master Mani’s calmness in handling issues ever so patiently, I took a stand to learn to be a patient person. Master gave us a lot of exposures and positive techniques to manage our daily lives such as life goals, problems related to studies and even the issue of teenage love. We were taught memory boosting techniques. I also learned how to preserve and value precious natural resources such as water, to accept friends of other cultures as my brothers and sisters, about punctuality and respect, to be a more sociable person and how to convert criticism into a positive and productive challenge.
One of the most importance life lessons I acquired from this camp is to accept myself as I am and at the same time continue to strive for improvements as I journey on. I am looking forward to participate in this camp again as a leader to help others. Yoga is an investment you make for your life. It is a life long journey and benefits come into place gradually. Join the camp and see the miracle happen within You. Thank you. ~ Turiya Deva, student
