YOGA
is the science based on ancient Indian wisdom
and culture developed and perfected over the centuries
by philosophers and mystics in India. Practiced
for more than 5000 years, yoga is one of the oldest
forms of healing therapy. It
is an art of living, a healthy, balanced, peaceful
life and Yoga provides one of the best means of
self-improvement and to help to attain one's full
potential.
Being a total integrated
system, yoga studies man in his wholeness-body,
mind, and spirit and exploiting their interdependence.
No other system does this. Western psychology
studies the mind, western exercise physiology
studies the effect of exercise on the body,
but there is no emphasis on the interrelationship
of the mind and the body.
The term ‘ Yoga’ is derived from
the Sanskrit root ‘yug’ which means
"to join" .
It signifies union between the individual soul
(jivatma) and the universal soul (parmatma).
Yoga postures (asanas) and breathing deal with
the physical body, but due to their effect on
the brain, they also connect the mind.
