WHAT IS YOGA

WHAT IS YOGA



Yoga means ‘Add’
Add Atma (soul) with Parmatma (Supreme soul)
Add to individual with society
i.e. yoga is to be tune with nature of supreme reality

Derived from the Sanskrit root “Yujir Yogey” meaning to unite, to yoke, to join, to put together, Yoga is not about mind over body. On the other hand, Yoga is about developing harmony between them. In Yoga, you use your mind to perceive (diagnose) and guide (heal) your body Never control, let alone force it!


Yoga is a philosophical as well as physical way of emphasizing harmony of body mind & soul. Yoga apart from its metaphysical teaching is beneficial to body wiz preceed & developed by our great saint Maharishi Patanjali.

Yoga is a 5000 year old science whose teachings were first imparted not in a classroom or Gurukul, but on the battle field In the epic Mahabharata, the sage, Lord Krishna is first said to have imparted the teachings of Yoga to his despondent student Arjuna. Around 1500 years later, another sage, Patanjali, went on to enunciate, for the benefit of humankind and eternity, the way to reach the summom bonum of life through a series of 195 aphorisms (sutras) in his epic treatise The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali


In Shree-mad-bhagwad-Geeta lord Krishna defines it very clearly

Yoga is a way of life, a conscious act, not a set or series of learning principles. The dexterity, grace, and poise you cultivate, as a matter of course, is the natural outcome of regular practice. You require no major effort. In fact trying hard will turn your practices into a humdrum, painful, even injurious routine and will eventually slow down your progress Subsequently, and interestingly, the therapeutic effect of Yoga is the direct result of involving the mind totally in inspiring (breathing) the body to awaken.
Contrary to popular – or unpopular – perception, Yoga positions are not about how far you can reach to touch your toes or how many repetitions you can perform. It is all about paying attention to how your body feels; how it moves without that excruciating pain or agony! Yoga is all about breathing correctly about integrating that breath into your being. Conscious Yoga doesn’t call for you to force or strain your never or sinew. Meaning to say, right Yoga is learning how to do things right, do less that gets you more!

Ironically, by doing less – correctly – Yoga enhances your strength, energy, vitality, flexibility and levels of endurance. Accordingly, your body and mind start to become more balanced until, eventually, you find it takes so much less energy to move through the day. Yes, any and everyone can do less…and get a lot, lot more!
Over all Yoga has detailed explanation which can not be explained in written. It can be understand through practicing yoga,this is a subjective (practical ) science ,not objective or theoritical science,........so lets do yoga yourself & feel the miracle science.
