Many of you may have come across the term YOGA. It has been explained and defined in many ways and one is:-
Yoga is a Sanskrit word translated as “yoke” or “union.” To yoke means to draw together, to bind together; or to unite. Its aim is to yoke or create a union of the body, mind, soul, and universal consciousness. This process of uniting the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of ourselves is what allows yogis to experience deep states of freedom, peace and self-realization.

Yoga is an ancient system of physical, mental and spiritual practices that have been passed down through the generations from teacher to student. Yogic practices include breathing techniques, postures, relaxation, chanting, and other meditation methods. There are many different styles of yoga, each with their own unique focus and approach to creating a unitive state.

I came across a nice, one single picture explanation ( Sanskrit word with ENGLISH TRANSLATION besides it) and felt like sharing it here.

Same here. We tend to be serious only when a need is felt.

I am a witness to how much regular, sincere practitioners benefit as I have couch people in the family. Only, if I could be as sincere and regular.

I am told one should be careful doing yoga from such instructions, do only simple ones as advanced ones without a teacher or a guide can be tricky if not risky
