Yoga is a physical, mental and spiritual practice that originated in
ancient India. First codified by the sage Patanjali in his Yoga Sutras
around 400 C.E, the practice was in fact handed down from teacher to
student. The word yoga is derived from the Sanskrit root yuj, meaning
“to yoke,” or “to unite”.
The practice aims to create union between body, mind and spirit, as well
as between the individual self and universal consciousness. Such a union
tends to neutralize ego-driven thoughts and behaviours, creating a sense
of spiritual awakening.
Yoga has been practiced for thousands of years, and whilst many
different interpretations and styles have been developed, most tend to
agree that the ultimate goal of yoga is to achieve liberation from
suffering.
