About Yoga

 

“Yoga is not an ancient myth buried in oblivion. It is the most valuable inheritance of the present. It is the essential need of

today and the culture of tomorrow.”

Swami Satyananda Saraswati

Yoga is an age old science of living in harmony with yourself and the world around you. It is a discipline which is more than five thousand years old. The word yoga means ‘unity’ or ‘oneness’ and it is derived from the Sanskrit word yuj which means to join. It is the joining of body-mind-soul to bring the balance & harmony in life. This can be achieved by the practice of asnas (physical exercises), pranayama (breathing exercises) and meditation. The aim of yoga is to bring the different functions of the body in perfect coordination to achieve perfect mental & physical health. Yoga gives you the tools to happiness and bliss, based on Yoga & Vedanta philosophy.

Yoga is suitable for all age groups. People with different bodily needs can make it a part of their everyday life.
