About yoga

Yoga is many things:
  • a philosophical system
  • a system of physical exercise
  • a system for spiritual wellbeing
  • an art -- the creative expression of bodily form

It's at least 2500 years since Patanjali wrote the first yoga text.
Yoga means union:
  • of the individual soul with the universal spirit
  • of the body and mind, of the mind and soul
  • of the body with itself -- awareness
Doing yoga can be likened to flying a kite -- the body experiences a sense of freedom, the thread is the intelligence -- sensing, adjusting, allowing natural energy pathways to flow, become unblocked. Yoga is non-denominational and is for all -- rich and poor, east and west, old and young, women and men.
