 YOGA
Yoga is essentially a spiritual discipline based on an extremely
subtle science, which focuses on bringing harmony between
mind and body. It is an art and science of healthy living.
The word 'Yoga' is derived from the Sanskrit root 'Yuj', meaning
'to join' or 'to yoke' or ‘to unite’.
The purpose of yoga is to build strength, awareness and
harmony in both the mind and body
Yoga is a balanced state of the body and mind. Yoga is a
balanced state of emotions. Yoga is a balanced state of
behaviour.
