Yoga is the scientific term which aims at coalescing all aspects of individual body - the mind, body and spirit in order to achieve the state or enlightenment and oneness with the universe. Based on the India metaphysical beliefs, the perspicaciousness of Yoga techniques and practices can be traced back to over 5,000 years ago.
The word Yoga finds mention in the oldest sacred text, the Rig Veda. It is derived from the Sanskrit word 'Yuj' meaning unity. Yoga was earlier associated with religion and was considered as the path to attain our highest potential and a state of bonding with the Divine. However with the stress factor plunging high in today's day, the practice of Yoga has been widely accepted as the answer to the complexities.
In the western countries Yoga is normally though of as the 'Hatha Yoga' or as form of exercise. Hath Yoga gives special emphasis on asanas or poses. The regular practice of Yoga and its various asanas makes the body strong and healthy.
Yoga is the spiritual science of self realization and its doctrines are universal that can be incorporated within any belief system. The practitioner of Yoga is called 'Yogi' (male form) and 'Yogini' (female form). In order to practice Yoga one has to undergo through a series of specific poses by controlling his/her breathing.
