The word “yoga” comes from the Sanskrit ischolar_main yuj which means to join. Yoga is a practical aid, not a religion. Yoga is an ancient art based on a harmonizing system of development for the body, mind, and spirit. The continued practice of yoga will lead you to a sense of peace and well-being, and also a feeling of being at one with their environment. Yoga is a holistic package for happy living. It provides techniques to unite the body, mind and breath, and connect to the inner core of our being the spiritual aspect of our lives. Spirituality gives inner strength; Spirituality gives inner strength to manage difficult situations and to keep smiling. Being established in the Self, your inner peace spreads outward, and makes you a more responsible human being full of caring, sharing and love.
