21 Days to make a change.
Studies show that it takes twenty-one days to form a habit. Habits are an essential part of our life, they help us to move forward and our habits can sometimes hold us back, but without them we would not be successful in most things we try to accomplish.
They help you to reach your goals, stay focused along the way and not give up when things get tough. Athletes know how important it is to stick to habits, especially during training. It is that group energy of everyone working together for the same goal that lightens the load. At HYU we are here to guide you and encourage you as you make change for the good.

“Truths are not truths to you unless you realize them within yourself. Without realization, they are just ideas. For spiritual perception, spiritual consciousness lies not in vague theological ideas, but in the acquisition of Self-realization. God is the life behind your life, the sight behind your eyes, the taste behind your tongue, and the love behind your love. To realize this to the fullest extent is Self-realization. Without God’s power you can do nothing. If you always hold this thought, you cannot go wrong, because you will have purified the temple of your mind and your soul with the vibrations of God.” – Paramahansa Yogananda
