What is Yoga?
The word yoga means "union" and is derived from a Sanskrit word “Yuj” the language of ancient India where yoga originated. Yoga refers to a way of life, an art of righteous living an integrated system for the benefit of the body, mind and inner spirit. It is a posturing and breathing technique to induce relaxation. This implies joining or integrating all aspects of the individual, body with mind and mind with soul, in order to achieve a happy, balanced and useful life spiritually.
This art originated, was perfected and practiced in India thousands of years ago. The references to yoga are available in 'Upanishads' and 'Puranas' composed by Indian Aryans in the later Vedic and post- Vedic period.
Yoga in today’s world
The word 'Yoga' reminds many people of a person wearing saffron clothes and doing dhyana at some secluded place. But we claim that this belief is in actuality an erroneous one, and that Yoga has relevance even to a modern-day working man. Yoga is very important for each and every person, from a child to an aged one. Yoga not only keeps one fit but also cures many diseases.
