What Is Yoga?
The word "yoga" means to unite in harmony. It is a self-disciplining art form that brings balance to the lives of its students and provides harmonization at all levels of existence - physical, mental, and spiritual.
How Old Is Yoga?
It is said that yoga is as old as civilization. However, there is no physical evidence to support this claim. The earliest archaeological evidence we have of yoga's existence is found in stone seals which depict figures of yoga poses. These seals place yoga's existence around 3000 B.C.
Since its creation, thousands of years ago, yoga has been nurtured as an active endeavor for individuals to further their knowledge of mind, body, and spirit. It continues to grow and thrive as an avenue of self exploration and expression today.
Where Did It Originate?
Yoga’s roots are found in the ancient lands of India.
What Is Yoga Today?
Many people today practice the ancient art of yoga simply as a form of physical exercise. However, yoga has much more to offer than a system of postures (asanas) that improve physical health. Yoga is an ancient path to spiritual growth, and by knowing its roots you will obtain a much more heightened and enjoyable practice.
