YOGA
/ derived from the sanskrit word ‘Yuj’, meaning ‘to join’ or ‘union’. It is the union of the body, the mind, and the spirit /
The word Yoga originates from Sanskrit, an ancient Indian language. It is derived from the word yuj, meaning ‘to join’ or ‘union’, and describes the union of the body, the mind, and the spirit.
Yoga is the practice of physical postures, combined with breathing techniques, chanting, meditation as well as other practices. Each physical posture has various health benefits, but the way in which they are practiced can vary depending on the style of yoga taught. Some styles of yoga focus more on the alignment of your body whereas other styles focus on the movement and flow.
A common misconception of yoga is that you have to be flexible to practice it or that it’s just stretching; flexibility is merely a biproduct of the practice of yoga so don’t worry if you can’t touch your toes.
