Yoga is a spiritual science focused on bringing harmony between the mind and body. The word Yoga is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘Yug’, which means ‘to unite’. It is believed that the practice of Yoga started with the very dawn of civilization. The harmony between the mind, breath and body is achieved through the means of breathing practices (Pranayama), body poses (Asanas) and meditation ( Dhyana). The aim of Yoga is to attain Self-Realization, in order to overcome all forms of human sufferings leading to the ‘state of liberation’ ( Moksha) .
