yoga

Yoga means Union

A sacred medicine to connect within.

Originating in India more than 5000 years ago, Yoga is a physical, mental & spiritual practice. Itspurpose is to unify the mind, body & spirit in order to generate liberation (recognize of our true nature).

The practice of Yoga is part of a literary body of sacred texts known as the Vedas. These texts give access to the original meaning of non-dual consciousness (advaita), practices to quiet the mind (yoga), the first holistic healing system (Ayurveda) and show a path to recognize the purity of our Being (moksha).

The wisdom of the Vedas was revealed in the form of hymns and verses, to women (rishikas) and men (rishis) while in a state of meditation. Although they are now published in 4 books, originally the Vedas were transmitted orally. The Vedas are not a dogma and precede all religion (although many of the religions practiced in what is now India are based on them).

Through the thousands of years that yoga has been practiced, there have been different interpretations of its meaning, each adopting different emphasis and practices.

Yoga has become increasingly popular in the West in the past decades as a way of promoting physical and mental well-being. It is beneficial for everyone, it can be practiced anywhere, at any time, by people of all ages and cultures.
