Yoga is essentially a spiritual discipline which focuses on bringing harmony between body, breath, mind, heart and spirit for a holistic life. It is a science of healthy, peaceful and harmonious living with self and others. The practice of yoga leads to the union of individual consciousness with that of the Universal Consciousness. This indicates a perfect harmony between the mind and body, man and nature. The ultimate aim of yoga is Self Actualization and Self Realization.
Yoga is not a philosophy! It is a discipline.
Yoga is a practical tool to harmonize of Body, Mind, Emotion and Energy, Yoga is not a philosophy. It is not something one can think about. It is something that one will have to live and to be. Yoga is concerned with our total being, with our roots of life. It is not philosophical, it is not a scripture. Yoga is a discipline. It is not a religion, Yoga is not Hindu; it is not Mohammedan. Yoga is a pure science just like mathematics, physics or chemistry. Physics is not Christian or Jews or Buddhist. It is a pure science that serves the whole humanity without any bias. Likewise yoga is a pure science and mathematics of the Inner Being.
The word “Yoga” comes from the Sanskrit root “Yuj”
Yoga is an ancient science and art which is based on a harmonizing system for the body, mind, and spirit. The continued practice of yoga will lead to a sense of peace, integrity, wellbeing and oneness with whole Existence. The word “Yoga” comes from the Sanskrit root “Yuj”, which means “to join” or “to yoke” yoke’ or ‘to unite’. The practice of Yoga leads to the union of individual consciousness with that of the Universal Consciousness. In other words, we can say the union of individual self with the Higher Self. Generally, the term yoga is understood as means, methods, and techniques. Sage Vyasa in his commentary on Patanjali Yoga Sutras, says “Yogena Yogo Jnatavya”. This means that Yoga should be known through practice of yoga, as yoga itself is a teacher.
