“Yoga is a mind-body practice with historical roots in ancient India. It encompasses physical postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), and meditation, aiming to unite the mind, body, and spirit. Modern yoga often focuses on physical fitness and stress reduction, but its philosophy extends to achieving self-realization and liberation.”

Meaning of Yoga

The word ‘yoga’ comes from the Sanskrit root ‘yuj,’ meaning ‘to join’ or ‘to unite,’ signifying the union of individual consciousness with universal consciousness.
