Yoga is a timeless tradition of physical, mental and spiritual practice originated in India. Maharshi Patanjali systematized forms of yoga in his seminal work “Yogasutras”. The literal meaning of Yoga is “joining or uniting” symbolizing harmonious union body with mind and soul. Yoga practice consists of poses (asanas), meditation (dhyana), and breathing (shwasa). It is structured into eight (8) limbs namely, Yamarestraint; Niyama — observance of austerity; Asanaspostures; Pranayamabreath control; Pratyahararestraining sense organs; Dharana-contemplation; Dhyanameditation and Samadhi-deep meditation.
