Dance was then initiated in Sri Lanka during the 4th century B.C for the purpose of expelling natural disasters, sickness and greet people and land. At the end of Polonnaruwa period (15th century A.D.), chola influence came into Sri Lanka and was adopted in Sri Lanka folk dancing.
The classical dance forms are associated with the performance of various rituals and ceremonies which are centuries old and are based on the folk religion and folk beliefs going back to times before the advent and acceptance of Buddhism by the Sinhalese people in the third century B.C. These rituals and ceremonies reflect the values, beliefs and customs of an agricultural civilization of Sri Lanka.
The main dancing styles of Sri Lanka are Kandyan Dancing, Sbaragamuwa dancing, Pahatharata dancing & Wanni Dancing
It is an ancient system of medicine developed in our part of the world, long before the father of medicine, Hippocrates, was even born. The name comes from two conjoined Sanskrit words 'Ayuh' (life) and 'Veda'(science or knowledge). Basically a science of healthy living, Ayurveda has two aims to preserve health and to cure a body afflicted by disease.
One of the fundamental beliefs of Ayurveda is the doctrine of 'Tri Dosha' or the Three Vital Forces 'Vayu, Pita and Kapha'. Generally translated into Wind, Bile and Phlegm, a more accurate interpretation of Vayu is the transmission of energy within the body; in modern medical terms, nerve impulses, muscle contraction and hormonal activity. 'Pita' may not be confined to bile but signifies the whole scope of metabolism and internal heat production while 'Kapha' means mucus, often described as 'The Protective Fluid'. The modern concept of mucus as an antibody containing liquid which coats and protects internal linings of the body seems tofit in with Ayurvedic thinking.
The basis of Ayurveda treatment is a process of purification and rejuvenation. According to Ayurveda the accumulation of "Ama" or toxic substances in the body, years of poor diet, weak digestion and incomplete elimination of waste matter, inadequate sleep, pollution and stress lead to the imbalance of the Tri Dosha and the buildup of toxins, which can lead to ill-health.
Ayurveda treatment is designed to gather the toxins in specific parts of the body and then expel these substances from the body. Once the body is purified it is ready to receive and benefit from the rejuvenation process, which can lead to lasting good health.

Yoga is not gymnastics, aerobics or mere exercising system as many people think.
Yoga works on the ancient “cooling down” process and it is a combination of exercising softly and deep relaxation (or meditation).
Without learning the art of relaxation, yosa postures will not be comfortable and tranquilizing – People who don’t know this or can’t develop this ability, practise yoge postures like gymnastic or aerobic exercises are done.
