Nowadays yoga is commonly understood as an exercise system for health and fitness. But certainly it is much more than that. While physical and mental health are natural consequences of yoga, the goal of yoga is more far-reaching. Yoga is to manifest our inner self, to restructure life towards an ultimate possibility. It is the science of activating inner energies, that the body, mind and emotions function at their highest level. Yoga is about harmonizing oneself with the universe. It is the technology of aligning individual geometry with the cosmic to achieve the highest level of perception and harmony. <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The word \u201cyoga\u201d literally means \u201cunion\u201d. <\/span>It is derived from the sanskrit\u00a0 root \u201cyuj\u201d, meaning \u201cto join\u201d or \u2018to unite\u2019<\/span>. <\/span>As per yogic scriptures the practice of yoga leads to the union of individual consciousness with that of the universal consciousness, indicating a perfect harmony between the mind and body, man and nature. <\/span>When you experience everything as one in your consciousness, then you are in yoga.<\/span> The one who experiences this oneness of existence is termed as a yogi, having attained to a state of freedom referred to as mukti, nirvana or moksha. Thus the aim of yoga is self-realization.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
