What is Yoga?

Derived from the Sanskrit word "yuj" which means "to unite or integrate", yoga is an over 5,000-year-old Indian body of knowledge. The central teaching of yoga is maintaining an equanimous state of mind. Being able to do any action with awareness.

If you thought that yoga was all about bending and twisting your body in odd shapes, it’s time to rethink. Yoga is much more. In very simple words, giving care to your body, mind and breath is yoga. This means that the century-old practice includes yoga postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayamas) and meditation. Through these, the body, mind and breath come in harmony with each other and that very moment yoga happens.

Yoga is a study of life, study of your body, breath, mind, intellect, memory, and ego. Study of your inner faculties! Yoga is a technique which unites the body, mind and spirit. Yoga relieves you from stress and tension.
