| Yoga
originated in India around 5000 years ago and is the oldest system
of personal development in the world. In his yoga sutras the Indian
sage Patanjali defines yoga as the control of the activities of the
mind, which is achieved through ethical disciplines, physical postures,
breath control and meditation. The word yoga comes from the Sanskrit
word “yuj” which means to merge, unite, or join. Yoga
methods encompass the entire field of human existence: physical, emotional,
mental and spiritual. It is a holistic practice and a practical philosophy
which can help us achieve a healthy, balanced and meaningful life. |
