Yoga is a complete science of life that originated in India many thousand of years ago. It is the oldest system of personal development in the world, encompassing body, mind and spirit. The world yoga means “unity or oneness” and is derived from the Sanskrit world "Yuj" which mean to join, attach and yoke, to direct and concentrate one's attention on to use and apply.
On a more practical level, yoga is a means of balancing and harmonizing the body, mind and emotions. This is done through the practice of asana, pranayama and meditation. Yoga is a method of training the mind and developing its powers of subtle perceptions so that man many discover for himself the spiritual truths on which religion, beliefs and moral values finally rest.
