What is Yoga?
The word yoga means “union” in Sanskrit, the language of ancient India where yoga originated.We can think of the union occurring between the mind, body and spirit.
What is commonly referred to as “yoga” can be more accurately described by the Sanskrit word asana,which refers to the practice of physical postures or poses.
Asana is only one of the eight “limbs” of yoga, the majority of which are more concerned with mentaland spiritual well being than physical activity. In the West, however,the words asana and yoga are often used interchangeably.
