''Yoga is not an ancient myth buried in oblivion. It is the most valuable inheritance of the present. It is the essential need of today & the culture of tomorrow''** Swami Satyananda Saraswati********* Yoga is the science of right living & , as such, is intended to be incorporated in daily life. It works on all aspects of the person: the physical, vital, mental, emotional, psychic & spiritual. The work yoga means 'unity' or 'oneness' & is derived from the Sanskrit word yuj which means 'to join'. This unity or joining is described in spiritual terms as the union of the individual consciousness with the universal consciousness.On a more practical level, yoga is a means of balancing & harmonising the body, mind & emotions. This is done through the practice of asana, pranayama, mudra, bandha, shatkarma & meditation, & must be achieved before union cna take place with the higher reality.
