Description
Yoga is an ancient physical, mental, and spiritual practice that originated in India. The word “yoga” comes from the Sanskrit root “yuj”, which means “to unite” or “to join.” It symbolizes the union of body and mind, and ultimately, the union of the individual soul with the universal consciousness.
Yoga involves a variety of practices, including:
-
Asanas (Postures): Physical exercises that improve flexibility, strength, and balance.
-
Pranayama (Breathing Techniques): Controlled breathing to enhance energy and mental focus.
-
Meditation: Practices to calm the mind and increase awareness.
-
Ethical Disciplines: Guidelines for living a moral and harmonious life (like non-violence and truthfulness).
There are many styles of yoga, such as Hatha, Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Kundalini, and more—each with its own focus and methods.
Yoga promotes overall well-being by improving physical health, reducing stress, and fostering inner peace. It is widely practiced around the world as both a form of exercise and a spiritual discipline.
