Yoga
is a form of mysticism that developed on the Indian
subcontinent in the Hindu cultural context. Its origin
is impossible to trace, because it dates back to before
recorded history. Yoga comes in many forms specifically
designed to suit different types of people. As a result,
some forms of yoga have gained significant popularity
outside India, particularly in the West during the
past century.
Introduction
The
word Yoga originates from the Sanskrit word "Yuj"
(literally, "to yoke") and is generally
translated as "union" - "integration"
- to yoke, attach, join, unite. Yoga is therefore
the union and integration of every aspect of a human
being, from the innermost to the external. According
to Yoga experts, the union referred to by the name
is that of the individual soul with the cosmos, or
the Supreme.
Yoga
has both a philosophical and a practical dimension.
The philosophy of yoga ("union") deals with
the nature of the individual soul and the cosmos,
and how the two are related. The practice of yoga,
on the other hand, can be any activity that leads
or brings the practitioner closer to this mystical
union - a state called self-realization. Over thousands
of years, special practical yoga techniques have been
developed by experts in yoga, who are referred to
as Yogis (male) and Yoginis (female).
These
Yoga techniques cover a broad range, encompassing
physical, mental, and spiritual activities. Traditionally,
they have been classified into four categories or
paths: the path of meditation (Raja Yoga), the path
of devotion (Bhakti Yoga), the path of selfless service
to the Divine (Karma Yoga), and the path of intellectual
analysis or the discrimination of truth and reality
(Jnana Yoga). The most conspicuous form of yoga in
the West, Hatha Yoga - consisting of various physical
and breathing exercises and purification techniques
- is actually the third and the fourth stages of Ashtanga
Yoga of Yoga Sutras by Patanjali.
Clients
and friends enjoy Yoga as means of bringing balance
into their lives. They report greater clarity in their
meditations and a sense of releasing issues that hold
them back.
Yoga enhances
every facet of physical fitness the mind/body energy
exchange supports a mental clarity and concentration.
The strength improves posture/alignment to support
our daily activities. The flexibility helps to prevent
injuries and keeps us supple and youthful. The breathing
practices are the foundation and the link between
the mind and the body, providing a valuable tool for
releasing tension and reducing stress.
The
practice of yoga teaches us how to quiet the mind
by placing attention on the breath, and also on the
movement (stillness) of the body.
Explicit
examples of the concept and terminology of yoga appear
in the Upanishads (primarily thirteen principal texts
of the Vedanta, or the "End of the Vedas,"
that are the culmination of all Vedic philosophy)While
protracted discussions of the ultimate, infinite Self,
or Atman, and realization of Brahman, are the true
legacy of the Upanishads, the first principal Yoga
text was the Bhagavad Gita ("The Lord's Song"),
also known as Gitopanishad.
