Yoga in India
The
word yoga
means "union."
Yoga
is a discipline involving
breathing techniques
and postures called
asanas (A-san-as), a
Sanskrit word that literally
means, "to be in
a particular position."Asanas
are the various positions
that make up the practice
of yoga.
Yoga is radically different
from more conventional
exercises, such as aerobics
and weight training,
in that the goal is
not to develop muscular
strength or cardiovascular
fitness (although those
are common reasons people
practice today) but
to bring the mind and
body into a mutual state
of well being, balance,
ease and vibrant alertness.
The word yoga means
"union." One
who follows the path
of yoga is called a
yogi or yogin. The true
practice of yoga becomes
a lifestyle. More than
an exercise program,
the yogi seeks to create
balance in life through
the asanas, proper diet
and rest, meditation,
and in cultivation of
correct thought and
action. The result of
this discipline is optimum
health and well being,
which encompasses things
such as wisdom, creativity
and peace with the self
and the world.
